Economically speaking

One of my friends advised me not to go on this trip out of a hunch he had that there might be riots here, due to the credit crunch and the possible ensuing social problems. Nothing could be further from the truth. Either we are visiting the 'right' areas or the problem is greatly exaggerated. Sure there are Sale, Going-out-of-business and For sale signs everywhere but people are optimistic.









As one of the people we on the journey said - the financial crisis is for the best. People have been blinded by money and greed and now we're returning to a more normal state of being. Maybe we'll learn something but probably not.
