Some Personal Information
- I also like playing the piano…
- When I was a student at NTUA (not long time ago...) with my friend Ilias Panagopoulos (he is on the left)
- Dora and Sakis performing, and more...
- Our latest skiing trip to Peisey Vallandry in December 2006: two family pictures (family1, family2), myself sharing feelings after a whole bottle of home-made Jenepi, and our amazing skiing professor Edmond (the best I had for many years!) in a strange position. Also some pictures of the skiing group with which we shared great moments! (f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7).
- What I like about food...(with details) from my recent trip to China!
- I also like gourmet cooking besides swimming and tennis
