I love this new database we just subscribed to! The Global Road Warrior (funny name, don’t you think?) is a guide for individuals traveling abroad or companies doing business in foreign countries. As a Greek myself, I checked to see how accurate this database is for information it provides about my own original country. My favorite section to explore was “Society & Culture.” Here is one of the “Stereotypes of Greeks as accepted by Greeks “ I found in that section – I thought you might appreciate it!
“There are two types of people in the world: Greeks and people who wish they were Greeks.”
By golly, quite true!
This database even has a section for “Essential terms,” important words to use when you travel to the country. Ok, now practice …“Den katalavéno”; in Greek it means I don’t understand! This expression may come on handy if you plan on visiting my country soon.
