Yassou Fille,
Greek here, living in Sydney Australia. Both parents Greek, from Ipeiros. I follow the culture, speak Greek fluently. Have only been to Greece, twice, but am thinking strongly about going to work there. Only problem is getting drafted into the army.

I'm half Greek, dad jumped off the boat in NY back in the early 60's. Mom is German, Irish and Dutch. I can under stand most of what people say, but I have a very hard time trying to answer. I have been there maybe 8 times?? Parents spend about 6 months a year there. They have a Penthouse in Athens, 2 investment properties in Athens also. They are just started construction on a new house in Andros that should be complete by this time next year. Dad is the only one here from his family so that is one reaason why they are there so much. My wife and I will be there for the 2004 Olympic games. There house is only a few blocks from Olympic Village. Last time is was there was about 15 years ago. They tell me it has changed alot???

There are probably more Greeks here in this part of Florida than in Greece. I have been exposed to the culture the last 10 years and it is cool as fuck. The food kicks ass too !

Both parents are Greek and born in Athens. We used to follow Greek customs when I was little but that has faded. I have been to Greece 3 times, understand all, speak some-what fluent. If I spend a week over there I will be speaking with no probs.
Greeks know how to party, no doubt about that!

I may not be as fluent as I'd like to be but I can still speak it. If I end up marrying someone who isn't Greek, she will go to Greek school with my kids, so they both can learn the language. I didn't appreciate the language, customs, heritage and such when I was younger, but it won't cease with my future family.

insane.
I saw one greek SOB run into a crowd of the oppsoitions supporters yielding a club.......there were 10-15 of them,
and only him.
Now, that nuts.
Turks are the same.
In the US, greeks seem fine.

My Dad is from Athens, my Mom is 1st generation (parents form there). I never learned the language, which I regret. Why my dad never taught me I don't know. Anyway, not into the culture too much, but we do celebrate a few of the holidays and such. I married a Catholic which is like Orthodox Lite! All my church and religious stuff is geard towards that. In fact, I am "enrolling" in Catholic Classes to become a full fledge Catholic on Easter. I still will be celebrating my Greek heritage and traditions tho.
Has anyone seen the new commercial for the sandwich place (either Subway or Quiznos)? They have a Mediteranian sandwich out and the guy behind the counter gets all gussied up in traditional Greek garb!

I'm not sure but there used to be a few guys on the anabolic board who lived out that way. I'll be goin next year to Santorini, Mykonos, and Paros.
I could be there myself next year Pauly. I'll probably hit the mainland for a few weeks and see the relatives and then hit the islands for as much 'gamisi' as i can handle.
Diablo, it's a shame your parents don't indulge in the Greek culture, you're missing out on alot. Have you been to Greece. You should go, it will be a great way for you to re-connect with the culture. You'll love it.
