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

I just got my Greek/EU passport today!
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!

Hope you still drop in from time to time when you go over there.

European is nice, but, really, Greek?

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

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.

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

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!

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