August - part 4: doom

The bad news is that the country is economically depressed.
Me being the optimistic being that I am, I start with the argument that this is in fact happening throughout Europe. Surely the minimum wage is not less than €400 a month across Europe people reply.

Indeed people are lucky to live in a country where there is Sun most of the year but then most people can't afford to do anything else.

Things will improve.
