From London to Tunis and back to Tel Aviv

Geia sas xairw poly- Pelloplasman. Efxomai na emasten oulloi mia pelli oikogeneia edw sto blog mou :) Poly syntoma tha provw kai gw to ftwxon plasmataki ek Londinou, eis Nison Kypron, ax ti wraia......I can already feel it now.....the breeze of the outdoor artificial heater unnaturally overheating your face, as you sip your hot chocolate in your chic downtown cafe.

Ok, so here's the deal, dudes and dudettes. You need travel insurance- specialist medical travel insurance because following six months of rollercoaster life you're finally in the position to travel again- yay !. So you go take advice from the linked websites provided by a certain support group.

So here I am making friendly telephone chit chat with a certain Laura from the insurance company, opoia Laura begins the all imprortant part of the telephone conversation where she asks me where I wish to travel to. So I reply- Cyprus, ofcourse,

Laura: Cyprus, yes that would be the European cover that you require
Moi: Oh right, may I ask if Israel is included in this

( poios ixerei mporei na paw epitelous episkepsi stin geitoniki mas xwra pou kairon twra thelw ....na thelw kai sto telos na men imporw...oi opoion insurance kai na kanw tha prepei na simperilamvanei KAI Israel)

Laura: No, I'm afraid not the European cover includes up to Tunisia, Turkey but not Israel I'm afraid.

(At this point me pianei kapws san to ysterikon yeleiouin)

Moi: uMM, (teehheehhhee) Isn't that a bit wierd that you consider Tunisia as part of Europe eventhough it is clearly north Africa, yet Israel isn't...I mean I know Israel is in the middle east n' stuff.....Laura mou( ok en tis eipa Laura mou alla eskeftoumoun to) but surely if Tunisia is considered within e European area then bloody Israel should be as well.

Kai me afton ton tropon pige na kleiesi i tilefwnikh mou sizitisi me to Lauraki.

Kyrie Eleison poion re koumpare inta mpou mas maxountai.........Edw pou ta lemen H Kypros isha isha pou en Eurwpi- nai to xerw oti eimasten sto European Union, but come on, Cyprus is kindof, in my humble opinion, one of the most culturally un - European places in the EU- manamou mas. I like it that way diladi, kai laloun mas oti i Tunisia einai European area.....

Bad Geography or profit issues? Who knows- I want my travel insurance! But I do not want to later have to upgrade just to fly from Larnaca to Tel Aviv, which is basically like walking down the road.
