Baron: do they still dance the Sirtaki down the street? Break plates on the floor when partying? I have to see that.. Greeks from Greece are just getting too fat to dance... it's a shame!

Hellas ! Hellas !

That's what I've been told too

Yeah it is true (since the late 60's i believe). To answer your question Xav, yes to all. One of the only bad things i think the Greeks did, was knock down a lot of beautiful old Victorian/Edwardian houses to build their replica greek palace. So much cement and plaster lions

Baron:
they could have built beautiful white Greek houses on the sea shore... yeah, Greeks are very proud of their culture, history and language, but I think thay manage to get integrated pretty well wherever they go.

They probabaly brought so much good food as well...

[Baron]

The Greek food in Melbourne is one of the many +'s. The trouble is that there's also a large Italian Population, and the two together don't always mix well...not to mention the Turk's

[angiebaby80]

mmmmm...olives and feta cheese..*yummy*

xav, maybe we should go for greek salad for lunch today??

[Baron]

I love my olives and greek salad...perhaps the next dinner could be a Greek night?
