We had a delicious Turkish breakfast at Pınar's place. Pınar lives in "Folkets Hus". It's another student accommodation by Bostad Vasteras (a subcontractor company that places exchange students to various accomodations every semester). This accommodation is way too expensive, but it's nicely located in the city center and their rooms are bigger in size (3 times of what we have in Junior) and well equipped (She even has a couch of her own for Sweden's sake!)
The view from her window:
This building is called "Skrapan" (Skyscraper?), and it's the tallest building in the city. You can find some really pricey stores in it, and one of the three supermarkets here: ICA. There is also a disco club and a sky restaurant at the top of the building. (Being a crazy amateur photographer, I have taken some pictures at the top indeed, but you'll have to be patient and wait for the upcoming posts)
I've brought some "sucuk" (Some kind of garlic sausage), Turkish delights and Turkish coffee from home, and it was the time we finally made something useful out of them before they eventually expired. The girls were so kind to prepare the breakfast for us, brew the coffee and serve it all. We filled in our bellies and feasted on tastes from home, spending the minimum amount of effort (Me cooking the eggs doesn't count).
Our Greek friends were late to join us, and they eventually missed the Turkish coffee! (Istanbul is not that far from Thessaloniki, they can always visit us and we'll make it up for them)
