Watermelon Gum

This is a new taste of Trident gum: Watermelon.



It was a sample that came with a magazine I bought a week ago. Hubby ate it and liked it. It smelled rather like melon, though.

Tomorrow, there is a call to boycott all the cafeterias to protest against the high price of coffees. Reportedly the price of coffee in Athens is much higher than in other European countries and especially so when you consider the average national income.

So, if you agree, take your coffee at home tomorrow or go to eat souvlaki instead of drinking coffee. Och. I forgot that we are fasting.

There is a prospect that the taxi fee will rise by 100% within the course of one year. I agree that here in Athens or in Piraeus, the price of taxi is absurdly low (but on islands or in less populated places, I noticed that the taxi charge is much higher), but raising the price at this moment of economic crisis sounds imprudent. There is a possibily that the people just start using less to save money.

Besides, with the increase of price, they will ban the taxi drivers to put more than one or one group of customers at the same time. I thought it was a great ideat to save energy to put more than one or one group who are directing for the same direction.

I foresee that they will rethink the proposal viewing the current economic climate, but they will do it sooner or later.
