    That does seem like an extremely fitting idea.

    Oh, what are all the weirdos up to now?

    … herding cats, evidently.

    So apparently its Syros, not Sykos, and you basically get dormed for free in somebody else’s house, and tend to the kitties for 5 hours a day.

    Honestly, not a terrible vacation idea, but if you just had a bunch of NDs move there and then stay and then try to build their own society by morphing the existing one… well… that’s kind of a settler-colonialism.

    Or, maybe, we all learn Greek and integrate?

      i had not finished my coffee, i will learn to spell before i have finished my coffee in another life.

      but honestly i’m kind of thinking about emigrating to syros i love greek food and culture.

      sykos probably because that is where my brain is.

        Well you’re probably going to have to learn at least a bit of Greek if we want to stay there very long =P
