This community
As dead and barely used as this community is I will once again restate it's intended purpose...to discuss Greek subculture.
Basically what I'm saying is if someone posts anything in the future about anything touristy or needing a "prayer" fullfilled I'm banning them...because well there's other communities for that and personally I hate reading about american frat girls going to mykonos and I hate the idea of praying even more.
that's all
enjoy your summer

Vacation to Greece
Myself and two friends are planning to take a vacation to Greece in Novemeber. I'm afraid that because that is outside the tourist window. Stuff will be closed.
We do want to see some of the traditions tourist stuff, but we are ancient history buffs. We want to see ancient cities and temples.
Can anyone with first hand knowledge give me some input?

Does anyone know how I can send a text message to a cell phone in Greece? What do I have to do? Do I need a special service or can I use my providor (Sprint)? Thanks!

GO TO THIS WEBSITE TO MAKE ELECTION DAY A NATIONAL HOLIDAY
http://www.workingforchange.com/ac…
This is what I wrote to personalize my email:
I am a student at the University of South Florida. After talking to many students on the matter most concured with me that making Election Day a National Holiday will help them be able to get out to the polls.
Let's face it, America is a nationa of procrastinators, we do it all the time. Wait till the last minute. At least if Americans are going to procrastinate let's let them but at least let's make it so they can MAKE it to the polls on that day without penalty by work or school. It just makes sense. Everyone says how sad it is that we have such a low voter turn out. Most nations that have a democratic-style government have their election day as a holiday to enormous success. It is time we made a change.

Greek writer Dido Sotiriou dies aged 95
Athens, 24/9/2004 (ANA)
Greek writer Dido Sotiriou died of pulmonary infection on Thursday aged 95.
Born in Aidini, in Asia Minor in 1909, Sotiriou was strongly politicised
and carried out great struggles for the social emancipation of women.
The disaster in Asia Minor in 1922 and the post-civil war era in Greece
left an indelible mark on her.
The book which highlighted her work in Greek literature was "The Bloodied
Land" which was published in 1962, 40 years after the Asia Minor disaster,
and was translated into six languages.
According to book critic Vangelis Kassos, Sotiriou could be called "the
novelist of national disasters."
Novels by her were published in newspapers and magazines. Some of them are
"The dead are waiting" (1959), "Electra" (1961), "Visitors" (1976) and her
last one "We are being demolished" (1982).
Sotiriou's funeral will take place at the Zografou cemetery in Athens on
Monday.
"Dido Sotiriou, one of the most important writers of our time, wrote that
which she experienced, with modesty and social sensitivity. With her unique
tone and in close contact with the creativity of European innovation, she
dealt with difficult chapters of modern Greek history with warmth," Prime
Minister and Culture Minister Kostas Karamanlis expressed in his note of
condolences, expressing his sincere sympathies to the author's family.
