Im also a foregigner (from Sweden) in Greece among thousand others, I see that foreigners only way of making a descent life here is to make their own business.

Im a web standards developer from Sweden and i feel very comfortable with my situation here as greeks seem to rely on my profession and experience.

One cant trust the others here so better trust your skills and experience and make a business out of it…

Hi everybody,

I have read carefuly your comments….I can just agree with all of that. I am a foreigner in this country for more than 4 years even though I am working and leaving with a Greek citizen.I am planning to open a busines but I am quite worry about all of these issues and I am still trying to figure out how to proceed with my web site. To tell you the truth, I am really considering to give the work abroad. I am in the process to register the name of my company but I also know that in case something happens I will not have a lot of protection. What to do?
Any ideas or suggestion?

Many thanks,

[...] I recently posted an article (a heavily opinionated one) about how Greece falls 10 years behind in terms of Internet usage, comprehension and real-life application. [...]

Craig, I salute your effort to bring some computer practice in Greek foreign language schools.

Students blogging in english would be a terrific first step in the practice of the language.

But I understand your problems. Most parents don’t give a damn about their children’s technological education and face this kind of efforts with skepticism.

I know what you mean, Sugar. I’m trying to get the language school where I work here in Thessaloniki to buy some PCs. I might as well be asking them to fund a manned mission to Mars. I’ve got my students blogging but it’s a real uphill struggle and with zero support from the frontisterio. At best, my efforts are tolerated.

The worse thing is that a lot of students are almost as technophobic as their parents and grandparents.

Thanks for your kind words, John. I couldn’t agree more with the points you’ve added.

As for the ridiculously overpriced web services, hell, I’ve even seen a 5000-euros installation of OsCommerce because apparently, it’s an e-shop and e-shops are expensive.
