This morning's taxi driver


I love talking with taxi drivers. In those 15 or 20 minutes, I have the opportunity to have a good talk with real, everyday people - to sense the pulse. This morning, I had a good character - worried with unemployment, with strong opinions on Greece and Europe, Portugal lover (of course) and Mourinho fan. And, amidst all the things he said, one thing keeps jumping to my mind - "Some years ago, Spain's youth unemployment at 45% would mean a war". And I think he is right - there is a bomb ready to blast in Southern Europe.
