THE GREC UNIVERSITY

The only thing he ask me was if I was speaking German, he bad for me! I told him I was searching for and I ask me what was my field of study. I suddently look on the ground and just point is watch and said ‘we just help European Unions student…’.

Some days after I was walking in the old town to reach the beach. Maybe I am false but I have been fellow by one police officer. I was looking on some earth globe in stone when I notice it. I just look at him and he was standing on the other side of the street, alone. The guy I meet at the university probably give my description to the police. I did not notice that at all as an important warning. He was not on my back but just on my side, so!

I go to the public beach and walk on that long road; one side beach and other side restaurant restaurants, hostel, hostel and some hostel. I go back to my camping spot. I take one week to decide what could be my next move. I don’t know how the idea take is own place but it’s was quite clear than if I attach myself inside some building that could generate some reaction.

One of the most interesting could be the one everybody have when some personne done the human statue, You paint yourself in white and you stay there not moving, in Montreal I saw one guy doing so on Prince Arthur Street. I dare don’t know if you can earn lot of money by doing so, but normally lot of people are looking, to verify if the guy is not going to move. It’s no way to ask, it’s better to wait than somebody ask you. What are you doing there! He!

Crete University is a realy large area, in fact it’s constitu of tree main campus. The bigger one in Heraclio, the one I go in at Reptymnon, another one in Xiana. The Reptymnon site is relatively interesting place.

Let’s talk about what I have seen. The site is really vast. I think only accessible by the entrance gate. It’s surrounded by a ravine of spike tree of all kind. The library and the cafeteria are isolated and relatively big. A relatively vaste group of building stand on the left of the main street in the upper left corner if you want. Another more nice looking area laid in the down right side. A well paved road turn around the whole site. At some point the inclinaison is around 15 degree maybe more. From the majorite of the roof you can see the meditarean sea but not the city. The city is somewhere hidden by the mountain on the right. The best way to climb there is to use the bus. You need a ticket who look like that. You have to break with the help of the bus driver. You take one side he take is own and the ticket is tear, quite funny. You can take it each hours a bus name GALLO to go up. If I remember well the first one is at 7h00 and the last one at 10h00. The bus normally go in the university to take and left passager but when the driver is too late on is schedule he just stop in front of the University. You can take that bus to go much more far away, but anayway!

That was my plan: I decide to chain myself in the rector building. I did it at 12h00. I was feeling than that could be the good moment for doing so. You know it was Friday and as probably like everywhere on the earth you like to left you job earlier Friday. If you never think to done so I will suggest you to avoid to done it in such place. The library is a much more interesting spot. You have to clearly understood than everything outside the building concern nobody. As well than everybody or every action who have never been seen.

So, I put the chain around me and wait. Wait, wait, wait a minute… Some secretary just go to the fake rector office. She notice my presence… She went down and a old man came and try to speak with me, in Greek of course. If somebody talk to you in Greek it’s not surely friendly, that could mean your “are you Greek?”, you have to understand than the way as you behave, wear yourself, mean much much more is such poor country. If somebody done that test to you it’s not that friendly.

He ask to the fat secretary, to translate and she said ‘If you are student here we can done something for you’. I was knowing I was wanting something, but already a limit was there. I told her, I told you before.

Then the old man go back on is office, with is secretary, and she came back some minute after, arrasing me with such question. Why are you doing that, are you student here… I did not answer so much. I told him before.

The only one moment I could have done something was the one when the old guy was in front of me. However, regard to what happen after, I don’t think so.

Some 30 minutes after some women came. She look at me first to constate my presence without a word and get down to receive some instruction, maybe to fill is gun with some bullet or to go to the toilet doing a pie, I don’t know!

In the bottom left corner, me, in the upper right corner one secretary, and somebody I don’t know and I don’t trust doing so maybe as a sideline to fund is study or to get some better mark to escape Greece. I ask her how much she was paid to done that. She did not answer.

I should have wait the next Monday… Maybe!

She said my name is … and I am a Special employee paid by the University. Bla, bla, bal… I was not really interested too much to speak with her but she did a less explicite version of the pose who made the movie Pulp fiction so famous, but in the Greek version the women wear pantaloon.

She was not that good except to made me stupid in that corner. It was 13h30. so I was the time to go. She mount me a sort of plan in witch she call a cab and then she said the cab are all bussy, bla, bla, bla…because too much tourist (it was end august). And as the guy I meet before her English was not that good. She propose me something so I said well I was not planning to stay there for the rest of my life. Let’s see what happen. That was not truly a proposition. So anayway she was not waiting at all for me. If I was going to agree or not. She did lot of phone call again the Cab driver became a friend I took relatively lot of time to come. I go with I fetch one bag I have left in some WC, I still own the key.
