I have yet to meet a cool Greek or to have them leave a good impression. With all the vivid history they've left behind, you wonder where all that disappeared to.

Greece will leave the Euro and have another currency (probably the drachma again) soon. This is unavoidable and has been since they joined the Euro zone. Spain and Portugal will follow close behind.

That is an interesting system for sure. I don't see how it is revolutionary though, it is just starting again with a different currency.
