PROUD TO BE GREEK
BECAUSE;
we buy whole watermelons and not in slices
we buy whole lambs and not in pieces
nights in Greece finish in the morning
you walk the streets at 2:00 in the morning and
there are traffic jams
you walk the streets at 4:00 in the morning and
there are traffic jams
flirting is our national hobby
sex is our national sport
we always complain about the public sector,yet everyone
seeks to get a job in it
we cheat openly without trying to hide it
we love and hate with passion
we can give anything up to make love
hundreds of women travel to Greece every summer just to get laid
Eros was a greek God
we change our cars every 3 years,our cellphones every year
and our lover every 3 days
we dance when we are sad
we speak loudly and laugh even louder
we do not know what anxiety is
we never visit others empty handed
we spend our bad and low times with friends and family,
not with shrinks
we are not afraid to cry
when you shout 'brother' in the streets,everyone turns around
for the sake of a woman we made war for 10years (trojan war)
we get angry quickly but forget about it even quicker
there's no way to explain to a foreigner what is 'kapsoura'
(burning desire for someone)
in Greece family is still something valuable
we go out almost every night even if we are penniless
we always make it,albeit in the last moment
whenever foreigners can't find a word they use one of ours
we are everywhere around the planet
we work to live,not live to work
we always have a solution to problems,even if
indirect or illegal
we get paid on friday and end up owing money
by monday morning
'filotimo' doesn't exist in any other language
(to be a friend of honour)
in Greece nobody is hungry
in Greece nobody is homeless
we have the cleanest seas on the planet
97% of the stars' names are greek
we invented theatre
we discovered logic
the Olympic games were born here
with our Olympic light we unite the world and pass the message of peace
we jump started science
'greeks do not fight as heroes,heroes fight like greeks'
Churchill 1941
we gave our ancient alphabet to the romans and our
medieval alphabet to the slavs
we gave birth to democracy
our sky is blue,not grey
we know how to spend better than we know how to save
when we were building the Parthenon,others still slept
in trees
when others were discovering meat,we already had cholesterol
we smoke constantly,still we live the longest in Europe
40% of the oxford dictionary is made up with greek words
we have a small poor country full of people
with big hearts
