I have a ton of all kinds of stuff to post and write but have to set aside other responsibilities to get it done. Including a very serious, large scale business and operating plan that will be shelved over the weekend.
Several more sites have put up links to me here and the word is spreading that there's decent thought and material to be had. Even if it relates to a perfect laptop.
PLEASE pass the www.antimullah.com link to all your friends and contacts. And for what it's worth I get a dozen visits every week from inside Iran, so spread the word there, too.
Some of you had said that you are planning a trip to Greece. I just received this from friend Stella which will be a great help to you. Kalo Taxidi!

If you find my Athens Survival Guide useful and you would like to show your appreciation why not let people know about the site on the numerous travel boards on the internet or linking to it from your blog or website. Because I don't have the big advertising budgets of the major travel sites many people don't find me until after they have made all their plans and wish they had found my information sooner. Help spread the word about Matt Barrett's Greece Travel Guides. If you found these guides helpful and want to help continue the work, please support the services I recommend.
Without their help these pages and this website would not exist.
