Periodically, throughout the site, helpful hints are added to help in acclimatizing your senses to our Greek customs, dramatic hand gestures, superstitions, and explanations of our non-verbal signs (which communicate 99% of our intentions) and lastly, the rules of etiquette on to behave when one is sick. Isn't it time you discovered the Greek in You?

Whenever visiting a Greek family like mine, remember these simple rules:

Advice. Whenever receiving advice from a Greek, remember this: Greeks were the founders of the modern civilization-art, medicine, and philosophy; thereby all Greek advice by its very nature is absolute and correct.

Advice is also a polite word. In my family, the use of the word 'advice' or 'suggestion,' merely means that whoever is offering their opinion, is simply too tired to fight. In our lexicon, the word, 'advice' is translated as Holy Directive from God.
