memorandums are over Greece exits the crisis. Survived (not that special, it has been doing so for milenia) but most importantly it remains in the euro. which for me was somewhat important. I like european democracy albeit freck the dorks I entered the crisis thinking freck the germans I exit the crisis thinking freck the germans (but not all of them) and DEFINITELY freck the right wing, the established status quo, the vested interests etc (inspired from austrian paper's article about the trumph of athns and 450 passed adjustemnts)

and of course freck dinner who was asking everyone to throw us to the dogs (although I like him, he knows) the chinese guy and all the bojos. rather unsuprisingly the most down to earth people here were the germans. the whole thing costed britain exiting europe, but what can you do? feels good to see TSIPRAS SAVED GREECE and also to the depths of depravity the right wing is situated in this country. I never thought. I really, honestly, never thought. -
Will be in Volos again Monday to Wednesday.

what are you doing in volos again and again?
anyway once you are there I hope you know that it is imperative that you visit Pilion. It is the mountains on the basis of which Volos is situated. They are stunning. It's like the beauty of the greek islands but for mountains. Some of the most picturesque villages that exist. Also try tsipouro. THE drink of the region (be aware, it is strong)

Any lessons learned? Or will Greece be back in this position down the road?

I still think Greece would be better off today if it had left the Euro.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

There wasn't a lesson to be learned but a situation to be handled. If the need arises again in the future, I'm pretty confident it will be handled again, one way or the otherComment

Greece would have been destroyed if it had left the euro. Like England after brexit or US with trumpComment

What Paiktis is referring to. Basically, Germany agreed to stretch out Greek loans and decrease interest rates in order to try to make Greece's massive debt pile more easy to pay. Well, to make the installments more easy to pay, anyway, the total debt will still be going up in an unsustainable manner.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Debt incurred by Greeks, not Germans.
