Greece is so happy. I don't think anyone went to work today. From the screaming and cheering I heard from all the cafes and tavernas surrounding my building, everyone but everyone, except me, was outside sipping coffee frappes and watching the game. If we win on Sunday it will be insane.

It's always exciting when a country loses at what it considers to be 'its' game. England fans can never believe it when England lose to some no-hoper team at football (soccer) or cricket.

Congratulations.

I guess I was a little to sure of myself. Nothing like being in Thessaloniki while my basketball team loses to Greece.

*sigh*

I guess I'll have to leave your country in shame.

Mosch? Are you saying you're in Thessaloniki?

posted by taz 01 September | 09:28

Yes, I'm saying I'm in Thessaloniki for one more day. Then I'll leave, my head hung in shame, as I sulk over to Italy :-)

Well, why didn't you tell me, you insane thing? We could meet tomorrow, if you are up for it. Email me, or call 2310244669.

First ever Thessaloniki meetup, tomorrow, by the market.

Be there, or be square. :-)

Hey, mosch! The phone company won't let me call your cell phone ("the number you are calling does not exist"). I guess the different countries thing isn't working there. Just so you know... I can't call you. But I found out where you are, so you can call me back to find out about that... or we'll just talk in the morning like we said.

(Woot!)

My cell seems to be working outbound, so I dunno what's up, but we should be able to get together in the morning.

Most likely culprits: either I'm an idiot, or Orange sucks.
