are you kidding me!?!?

When I was in Greece in March, there was a garbage strike, a transportation strike, and a gas strike.

I was doing a little investigating tonight about the flight situations and the riots. Wouldn't you know it: it is not in fact the rioting that is cancelling flights...THERE IS AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS STRIKE. One day, on Wednesday, the day I was supposed to arrive. So at least I can leave tomorrow, to arrive on Thursday night.

I am told that these things, like strikes and riots and marches, will be commonplace to me very soon. Burning cars? Eh, just part of a regular day.
