Greece on the ground

Everybody seems to have an opinion on Greece these days but instead of the usual comments about the weather and the scenery, we tend to get questioned more on the financial situation. People want to know what it is like living in Greece in these rather uncertain times. Obviously our experience is going to be different to a Greek family or expats who have retired here and have a pension from abroad. However, one thing we will all have in common is seeing the change around us. There are more beggars on the streets, more businesses closing down, prices going up and people struggling to make ends meet. We know people who haven’t been paid for months’ and others working 2 or 3 jobs just to be able to pay their bills.
And now, with the election over, what will the future government look like? Will they be able to form a government at all or will it be back to the polls again next month?
The sun may be shining and the sky may be blue but you can’t live on that can you?
