Sure!
Also - Germany and Switzerland have some great kart racing tracks. If you see one of them, I'd love a photo.

Never... ask a group like this one "where to go".

Maybe they'll have the mess in Greece cleaned up by the time you get there.

...and in Spain, Italy and Ireland. The bad debt thing is like an out-of-control cancer that has metastasized.
Time to go back to the commune, perhaps.

Ok guys,

I'm heading back to Greece. My route takes me though Innbruck Austria and then down into Italy.

Any places I should stop at along the route? (nothing inside Switzerland please). Soldon is out of the way :( this time.

Well guys,

I broke down in Trento Italy. Parts will be here in 2-3 days. It's a shame really. The car has 720,000km on it and this is the first time it's left me on the side of the road.

Once im back in Greece I will post a full photo TR of my trip across europe and trip into the UK.

Y=Total Gross Domestic Product
C= Consumption
I=Investment
G= Net Government spending (G-T)
X =Net exports/imports (imports negative)
Y=C+I+G+X
Solutions so far to the Greek debt have been lowering spending, and raising taxes...
Gv=Yv
T^=Yv

It's going to be painful for any of the countries that are going to go through this, mainly due to the small size of the economy. Larger economies can handle this much better than smaller ones (ie the percentage of GDP in theory at least can be a lot less)

(I knew that degree would come in handy somewhere.... )

There seems to be an unmentioned algebraic element - what alphabetical assignment is given to that portion of a burgeoning population that does not contribute (positively) to the GDP? In a sense, this is an overproduction that is forced onto the market and which yields negative dividends. Perhaps it is swept under the rug of "G-T"?
