Kenya has some of the most friendliest people in the world, and you feel welcome from the minute that you land at the airport. You meet smiling people who are very easy to work with, and you hear Karibu Kenya around you. Once you get people are friendly, everything else tends to flow naturally.

Where is the best place to travel during the holidays? I like sea countries. Diving of Egypt, islands of Greece, seafood of Bulgaria is such a beauty

Places I plan to visit in Greece (in near future I hope) don't include any northern/central Greek destination. They include Samaria Gorge national park, city of Rhodes, Santorini, and Nafplio.

Samaria : you can find the tallest True Greeks there. Very Slavic-like. Greeks there are also true Dorian-type.
Rhodes : The best and more advanced True Greeks I have met (together with Cyprus). They are of Ionian-type (just like the Cypriots). Santorini : Some true Greeks still live there. The locals. Not the vlah-arbanite ppl from Athens who have bought property there. Nafplio : has some beauty due to the Austrian design. Apart from that, the locals are plain-type average vlah-Arbanites from south greece. Nothing to write home about.

Example .
In Athens finally they set up some system to cancel the ticket electronically inside the bus. This happened this year or the previous. In Esthonia/Cyprus they had it for ages.
Now watch this : Rhodes : the local bus driver asks your destination and then clicks the destination in some touch screen hand device which is all in Greek lang and the ticket gets printed! FUNKING wow!! Same like in Poland. In Athens I guess this is virtual reality. The Athenians just could not get this going / working.

So its all better than here. Here we have private company that sells the plastic cards which you add driving credit to, and all is sold in corner shops. This money goes to the private company that doesn't give any share of the money to the local government who would invest in public transport infrastructure.

Ok, but not all is only about the people. I also find interesting to see the architecture and nature. Also as a tourist I'm not interested to lose too much of my time on a beach.

Dont be so fast. You guys had scrapped all those "scratch cards" that used to fill credit units into SIM cards ages ago. In Athens it happened many many years later.
Another example . Athens. You get into a bus, no machine to buy ticket, the conductor stops you, you get screwed.
Can you buy a ticket inside the bus in Serbia?
I have been to autobuska during Easter, freaking huge traffic. The bus to Bosnia was stuffed. We had quite some moments there, I was about to travel standing, but in the end, it got happy ending. All good! The passengers found out I am the husband of the family and started to cheer in favor of me staying in the bus VS taking a taxi!!
The other two standing guys got off the bus. But one of them gave me his seat!!
If this happened in Athens, we surely would have a freaking ugly "local"-type fight that would screw my day.
Also I loved the way the local policeman acted. Pretty cool.
IN SERBIA IT IS NICE!!! I LOVE YOU PPL!!! in the end there is some sort of reconciliation !
Serbs have all the seeds to succeed.

You can buy the ticket inside the Belgrade public transport (bus/tram/trolley or train) with money (directly from driver), credit card (MasterCard) or there is smartphone app, but your smartphone needs to have NFC reader which most modern smartphones have and the ticket lasts for 1:30 hour. The good thing is you can go in another bus with the same ticket if that time hasn't elapsed. However that is not the point. The point is where the money you paid goes, and it doesn't go in renewing the buses or into the salaries of drivers and employees of public transport company.

This is science fiction for Athens. Never gonna happen. Always 1000 years behind the rest of Slavic Balkans.

But does the money goes in the fund for getting new vehicles? If it does it's ok. It means city of Athens is thinking into future when current buses/trams/trolleys/etc get old.
