The students honor their tutor
To Thanassis Giokas
A life of asking why.
Time is valuable though,
thousands voices.
His task to share,
sort his students’ thoughts.
Knowledge here and there,
joy against complaints
among severity and love
the red blossom of spree.
His time passes
and he is given tribune
and wastes his breath.
“Thank you for still granting me
the joy of loving you”, he said and sat,
foul of awareness and thrill.

- My other interest they are the alcoholic drinks and coktails. For many years I worked in many bars, restaurants, fishtaverns in order to study and make a living. WHISKEYS: I usually, drink american whiskeys and occasionally irish and canadian ones. I avoid drinking scottish whiskeys primarily because the production which is destinated to South East Europe is not the same in taste and therefore in quality and secondly because the market here provides mostly adulterated ones. The only scottish whiskeys that can't be adulterated are the smoked such as Caol Ila and Ardbeg 12 and 10 years old respectively. I also trust the malt scottish whiskeys. Read more
