addition

In my last post I asked the next question;
Why have Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and other countries entered the EU while they weren't ready economically and politically?
This is not important now.
The question is how to get out of that mess.

To translate it to the future, the question is how we can learn from it.
From example Croatia as 28th country entering the EU. Others will follow, like Serbia, Montenegro, Albania. And they all want an equal standard of living. That is poli-economically hard to do.

bankrupt

Will Greece face bankruptcy? Yes they already face it. Whether Greece goes bankrupt that's the question.
History is on Greece's side. So the public opinion will save Greece once again. In the 19th century bank loans saved Greece. Now bank capital might save Greece. Banks have to give Greece voluntary new bank loans.
There is nothing voluntary about it. If they don't, the EU financial crisis will deepen itself. Banks will have less capital, Pension funds can't pay the pensions, states will face shortages. Money will be wasted.
Europe is in crisis for nothing than money and some people who can't handle it.

Why have Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and other countries entered the EU while they weren't ready economically and politically?

Roll over Greece

I used to roll the dice
feel the fear in my enemies
eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead!"
"Long live the king!"

socialitics

Since May my blog has much more viewers. It's the spin off of a Malaysian based website of blogspot, http://1malaysiaautoforum.blogspot.com/
The website is about cars, it's an auto forum.
The site is impressive I must say, but I wonder what my site about socialitics subjects -(social & politics) has to do with it.

Hello

More than a month past since my last post.
I cycled, I worked and had a vacation in Germany.
We had a removal at work at the end of May. My department switched to another building. In the last days I couldn't do very much. The systems were down due to the removal which concerned 600 people or more.

I needed a vacation badly but at the same time I was a bit afraid for weeks of travelling. I didn't have a tent and didn't know where to sleep after 100 kilometer cycling. But as I went on vacation it wasn't bad at all. The first night I knew where to sleep but after that I had no idea. Hotels in Münster, Verl, Holzminden and Clausthal-Zellerfeld were okay.
In Clausthal-Zellerfeld I had an accident. It was not bicycle related. Just fell 3 metres down in a riverbed. My upper right arm hit a piece of metal (as I thought) or a rock. I think adrenaline made me not being dizzy. I first had to climb out. Then I noticed that there where a few bubbles on my arm, blood, scratches, and a lot of pain.
I climbed out of the deep trench and saw a ambulance rinding by. I only had to cycle 3 kilometers to Clausthal where I would look for a hotel, not realizing the seriousness of the injury. A kind German directed me to hotel Goldene Krone where I booked a room. Luckily it was 300 meters from a hospital. So I went there after a shower. In the hospital the doctor did cleaning the wound, using lots of Jodium, made a bandage and finally did an X-Ray. It looked broken. It wasn't luckily. The next day I had to be there again.

The next I showed up a 8 am and heard that I couldn't get on cycling.
I asked the doctor to let me cycle to the highest mountain there. Without packing I added. He allowed me.
24 Hours later I was home.

After that I still had 10 days to enjoy. June 20 I'll be working again.
What I've learned of this how to stay calm in these matters, being stoic in this situation. These are the facts you can't change, so don't worry about it. Some things you can change so work on them. For instance, change to a more silent room. Get enough sleep at the end of the day. Have a good breakfast in the morning. Well I succeeded but another thing happened.

When I was going downhill on my light bike (no packaging)my back wheel slipped and I almost fell with 40 k/hr. That was the moment when I thought that it was the moment to go home.

Of course there is the story of Mephistopheles in Faust.
Angels do exist?
