Traffic Jam

I was in the buss the other day going home and suddenly the buss stops. Half a millisecond later the buss driver starts honking...and honking...and honking and waves of swearing and bitching are coming from his direction.

Apparently someone "parked" their car so that no one else could pass through the road. The car was double parked and practically in the middle of the road. After about 20 minutes of intensive honking, during which about 30-40 cars, that I could see, gathered behind us joining in the honking and swearing concert, the owner of the car appeared. 

He was having his coffee in a nearby coffee place, the heard the noise outside and he came out out of curiosity. 
I can understand the buss driver's frustration but what have I don't wrong? Because of the guy who left his car in the middle of the road I would have been late.. and I came to terms with that but now I also had a brilliant headache because of all the honking and I was not ok with that.

Yesterday in Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is not known for it's summer rains. Why? Because it hardly ever does rain here. 

Yesterday though, something must have went wrong with the Almighty's weather forecast because not only did it rain but it poured.


Knowing the city to be always dry and dusty I must admit this was a welcomed change.

Too bad today is just as warm as before the rain. The only difference is that the humidity is sky high so the air is even less breathable than before..if that's even possible.

The music from the video is a Romanian chant for invoking the rain. It's called "Păpărudă".
