1. The Greeks pay much attention to food. If you don't eat meat, they will definitely not understand, but they are also considerate and will comfort you immediately: it doesn't matter, we also stewed lamb.

2. Greek mothers will be seduced on the eve of the wedding: Greek women, go into the kitchen as meek as a lamb, and go into the bedroom like a tiger to eat.

3. All Greek girls have to go to Greek schools. Compulsory questions there include: Nick has a goat and Maria has nine goats. When can they get married?

4. The Greeks believe that there are two kinds of people in the world: Greeks and those who wish to become Greeks.

5. The purpose of glass water: relieve pain, stop acne, stop itching, stop ringworm

6. The husband is the head of the family, and the wife is the neck. She decides where to turn her head.

7. The Greek brother-in-laws are very friendly: if you hurt my sister, I will kill you and do it like an accident.

8. The way the Greeks spend Christmas: Father and uncle are fighting over who can eat goat brains, and the aunt is chasing his niece with the eyes of the goats in the house and insists on letting her swallow it, because eating will make her smarter. There are 27 watches in the house. Brother and sister.

9. The three missions of a Greek woman in her life: marry a Greek boy, give birth to a Greek child, and feed everyone.
