I'm watching the Greek economic malaise very closely these days. Not because I'm worried about my financial portfolio, not because I'm a news junkie, and not because I'm terrified about a possible economic contagion spreading to the rest of the world. I'm watching it in the selfish hope that the European Union will eventually collapse, bringing the high cost of traveling to these countries back down to a very affordable, long-term jobless vagabond kind of price.
I know what you're thinking: I'm a monster, I'm ignorant, and this economic bomb is going to harm me just as much as the EU. What kind of vile, filthy being could ever hope for such a thing? Perhaps I'm as bad as you think I am.
Yet wouldn't it be simply marvelous to cruise around Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Ireland, at rock-bottom prices the likes of which would put Southeast Asia's budget travel circuit to shame? Just imagine cruising around the Greek islands, visiting wine vineyards in Italy, and partying it up in Spain while paying next to nothing.
I'm always wary of the media. I always suspect they're overhyping stories so that they can sell their vile advertisements, make their money, and feed their monkey. But this time it seems like this whole doomsday thing has legs. Greece is burning money like a champ, and they are but a trifle compared to some other whales in the equation.
So what do you all think?
