Just to update for the current situation here. Life is back to normal with a great fear for the future. The government is planning to lower pensions and salaries and analysts try to predict the impact in jobs and economy

Glad you're mostly back to quiet there.

I heard that the center of Athens was so deserted a couple of nights ago that people were actually taking driving lessons there. Sounds peaceful but far too empty.

I bet there was quite a few people out to strangle their travel agents this week. Sounds like my kind of luck

Well, ma'am, you said you wanted to go somewhere exiting...

Well, at least they are blowing through their money the way we blew through ours, and soon we will all be in the same boat A leaking one!



They also have to make a multibillion war in a distant country. Then they can burn their cash fast.



Reminded me of a quote:

Yes you are correct. That was the case. Very sad to watch
Now we are all waiting for the elections and the next time when they will say you have to all accept a pay cut or Greece and the entire world will be destroyed. Then you will see in the news the same disasters
