Instead of celebrating St. Xritsos on his birthday (Christmas Day), their are only two villiages in Greece that still celebrate "St. Xristos" on the day of the Jesus baptisim (7th Jan) because that's when they believe someone is honoured with their name.

That No. 15. Whilst on holidays I decided to visit Delos (ancient site near Mykonos) and saw many ancient sites one of which was a monument with ancient Greek insription given as a gift from the Macedonian King Phillip II to Delos. That No 14. Due to the Athens earthquake in early september 1999, everything in Greece had been delayed exactly one week. Including soccer matches. That No. 13. Greece's road accidents are three times more than Australia's and exceed the average road kill rate. So do they wear seat belts. That No. 12. The city of Thiva (1 1/2 from Athens) was banded by Alexander the Great in BC due to the fact that they did not accept northern Greece being united with the south. That No. 11. Aristotle, who was from Greece's Halkidiki although had never documented any of his thoughts but instead his pupils monitored his achievements is still known today as one of the worlds greatest thinkers That No. 10.

Greece is looking at hiring a special police force to patrol the boarders of Greece with Albania, the aim is to keep illegal imigrants out. Which makes sense as the Albanians here work, get paid, free accomodation, transport and are feed three times a day. Hum, don't remember the same treatement given to my parents or any other Greeks abroad I am sure they worked and paid taxes for the roads we all walk on. That No 5. The worlds leading soccer team PAOK will be playing against AEK on September 12 1999. PAOK was voted as having the most hardcore of fans World-Wide. That No 4. Whilst explaining to a young lady that their is a time difference between Greece and Australia and that when it is winter in one side of the world it is summer in the other (due to the fact of that the earth revolves around the sun) she firslty thought I was lying and then proceeded to expalain to me that it is impossible and I must be wrong when it is December in Greece it is July in Australia !!! That No 3. In Greece's northern capital Thessaloniki, two armed robbers went into a bank and stole 5 million drs, upon their exit, the two men got on their motorbike which decided to stall on them, despite the fact they passed police etc, one of the robbers was on the bike whilst the other pushed the bike towards their stupid escape! That No 2. The Skopjian community in Melbourne, Australia have two Macedonian Orthodox Churches names "St. Demitiros - Protector of Salonika". Funny hey, considering the fact that firstly Macedonian Orthodoxy has not be recognised by either the Christian Federation and secondly, St. Dimitrios was made a saint for the simple fact that he was a warrior who ensured that Slavs did not enter Thessaloniki. That No.1. Greece's leading singer Mr. Notis Sfakanakis hosted a concert in Thessaloniki not long ago. Two paid fans decided to get up and dance to Sfakanakis' music as this fustrated the singer he rudly suggested that his fans should sit down. When the two ladies didn't sit down Notis then stated "sit down now don't you understand or would you like me to say it Bulgarian"... You will be pleased to know that the two ladies along with a crowd of mad fans left the concert. Unity hey???? -------------------- |
