Greeks know the party is over. Costas Avdelas, 51, who lost his job at Olympic Airways when the government privatized the airline last year, fears the struggling economy means he won't be able to find new work anytime soon. "In Greece, there are no jobs, so there's no economic crisis," he jokes. Avdelas is getting a generous severance package from the state, but to survive, the family is also cutting back on luxuries. "We're trying to spend less. We try to eat at home instead of in restaurants," he says. Weekly trips to the movies are a thing of the past too. But like many older Greeks, Avdelas believes this period of austerity will soon pass. Tourists will return, drawn by the news of the financial crisis and the promise of cheap deals, he says, adding, "If the sun shines in Greece, we're not worried."


what is the intention behind author use of the statement "if the sun shines in Greece we are not worried"
  • Tourism would pick up if the weather remains fine and consequently the economic conditions will be discounted
  • Weather Gods have been unjust to Greece.
  • Sunny days means more business
  • if the weather is sunny, economic problems can be over looked.
