      Primavera In Anticipo (Italian Version)
      by Laura Pausini

      Italian pop always sounds simultaneously Eurochic and Europop, I think.

      My previous fanaticism is here.

    What Is 'Wi-Fi' In Greek, Anyway?

    Hello? Anybody there? I am still in the EU, right?

    Was hoping to get started writing about my trip away to Greece last night, but my hotel’s Wi-Fi was a little, to put it best, fragile. Having arrived last night and stayed in the centre of Athens I’m now back at the airport waiting for my driver to whisk me to Nafplio, my ultimate destination, having seen absolutely zilch of this historic city.

    Oh well, I’ll just have to come back.

    Meanwhile, I’m remembering that most people you have to spend time with at airports are the sort of folk you’d really never want to see ever again, aren’t they? Especially Brits at airports.
