To the tailor to have a jacket altered. But “closed” sign up and door padlocked, so clearly not just in the loo. Pop in to real estate office next door where they express mild surprise and say he was around yesterday. So presumably not on holiday abroad, in hospital, or dead, although all of the above begin on some particular day, which could conceivably be today. Wiser course is to phone first, but don’t have a number, and if phone books exist here have never seen one (and would be in Greek anyway) so bus back.
Meanwhile, high school students in Cyprus stage a two hour strike to protest the implementation next year of twice yearly examinations. They do have the brains to give a laudable rationale for their stance: “...we do not want exam centres for schools, or schools centred on competition and individualism...We want a school that offers a well-rounded education.” But the interesting thing is that most of their rhetoric is trades union inspired, asking for real and meaningful dialogue and issuing warnings - and the education ministry seems, even more oddly, to take them seriously in that rôle.
