A delightful(hopefully!)mishmash from Greece written by a Swede in Athens. En salig röra från Grekland!

I SHALL HAVE a nice car!
Seen in a suburb of Athens. It's very important for Greeks to have as nice car as possible, who cares for the garage...?!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Do you remember the movie "My big fat Greek wedding"?
Are you curious if Greeks are like in that movie?
Well, most of the film shows the truth about Greek people in a funny way, but a big mistake was to make it seem like Greek woman are drinking a lot of alcohol! Maybe they will have a glass of wine with their food at special times, but except for that it's difficult even to make them drink a small glass of liqueur.
Also this to spray Wintex on everything is not true, even if many Greeks have a little germ-fobia and they like to use strong cleaners...
Furtheron; sponge-cakes with a hole in the middle are common here as well!
