HH if you were to move to Greece where would you go? I'm coming to realize if I had to leave the states that's pretty much the only place I could go with my kid. I'm still up in the air on how bad things will get here but I know for a fact I can make a shitload of cash there regardless of the crisis.
How do they treat you there? I don't think they have hate for Aussie Greeks but I know they do for me. I enjoy fighting with them.
I have been a few times over the years and to be honest I have found the Greeks a very mixed bag. They piss me off no end at times, but at the same time I cant help but like them. The Greek community in Aus is huge though and many dont integrate because they never needed to.
I have family in Salamina, but also Thessaloniki which is where we are all originally. I would want to be within 50KM of Athens though.
Honestly, if you have money, Greece is not the worst place in the world. Great weather, great food, very chilled lifestyle, very community orientated. Its not the worst place to raise kids, and despite being considered a western nation the culture is so developed its not going to disappear anytime soon.
I would hold of a bit though. Im very concerned that we are going to see conflict coming, especially when they are either kicked out or they leave the EU.
