I think they have the feeling like they will lose their first child which they don't want to. They try to keep you at home, so they could better protect you. Unfortunately, all parents are like this.

Why do you wish that? I think Greece is a lovely country with an interesting history and all. I mean come on, there are not lots of nations which have as exciting myths as the Ancient Greek do. I would be proud to live in Greece.

Oh you don't have to apologize for your whining, if I were you, I wouldn't do otherwise. And I know Muse will come there in the nearer future, they can't skip the Balkan peninsula and Eastern Europe on their tour. That would be just silly.
