It's official I am a Euro-phile or whatever.

I just got my Greek/EU passport today! :D It's official I am now a EU citizen who can live and work and travel in the EU without all the old headaches! Yay for me, I am organising my work experience this month too (for 2004) so I will be in Europe pretty soon!

I am happy, can you tell?

So I guess I can now officially be an EU supporter.

Someone cares! It's just going to make my life a hell of a lot easier when I go to work in the EU. This my last year of my studies, so I was very relieved that I managed to get it!

European is nice, but, really, Greek?

That's funny, considering that the word Europe comes from Greek mythology! :P

Congratulations, and the Greeks make Ouzo and Metaxa, so their OK in my book. :)

I know a lot of Greeks living in London

Which means not even Greeks want to live in Greece. Hmmm

Crown- word to the wise, though I'm sure you know- don't stay in Greece to long. You'll get conscripted. :)

Ti?!

You paid off a bureaucrat didn't you? Ahhh Greece- everyone's either in the govt employ- or a singer. :)

:lol: :lol: That's actually not too far from the truth (the singer part).

But no I did not bribe anyone. I have a dual citizenship which automatically means that if I were to be conscripted it would only be for 6 months, but I have also live 18 years of my 22 in Australia, so the exemption wasn't even an issue. I went to the consulate, and about 2 weeks later exemption came through, and 10 min later I had my passport! :D

Ahhh the EU, with 15 official languages, how could you go wrong! :D

Don't worry Olrik, we were just trying to dismiss the defeat as not something important to us. So next time you ever hear a Greek say hestika, you know what it means. :wink:
