Over the past few months, several colleagues have asked me about visiting Greece this summer for vacations. The questions ranged from “Should we go to Greece, is it safe?” to “Where in Greece should we go?” Since i have been away from Greece for almost 1.5 years, my answer was: “Let me go first, since i am [...]

Back to Greece, after a long time (almost 2 years), and i realize that some things never change. For example: The bad The drive to Ioannina still sucks. I have used the so-called national road some times now, and i still have to wonder, why the hell do we call this piece of shit road [...]

Eurovision 2010 is over, and here are some of the songs i liked: First of all, France. I don’t think that they had a “typical” Eurovision song, but somehow their song put me into “World Cup” mood. It was definitely summer-ish, and frankly, i expected more (position wise). Then, the winner, Germany. It is not [...]
