greece is the word | writing from thessaloniki | Page 2
https://sunedee.wordpress.com/page/2
Greece is the word. Trend diet: the belgian carbo-load. What did I know about Brussels before spending three full days visiting two friends from Davidson? In the park by the Royal Palace… yes, there’s an old European monarch. He probably wears a powdered wig. I didn’t even know that Belgium bordered France and The Netherlands and the English Channel. Scratch that. I just checked my facts, and it’s actually the North Sea, not the English Channel. Anyway. Am I training for some huge athletic venture? And c...

freedom | greece is the word
https://sunedee.wordpress.com/2010/11/12/freedom-in-contemporary-amurrican-form
Greece is the word. November 12, 2010 at 6:34 pm. We’re flying down the paved highway at 100 kilometers an hour away from Nafplio, though flying is relative. The pausing, overheating, screeching, crawling then racing and weaving city bus has been my main mode of transportation in Thessaloniki. I couldn’t be more thrilled as the wheel glides beneath my fingers around each roundabout. I remember: This is how I imagined Greece. This is how I pictured being abroad. Robed in folds of black, we processed past ...

https://sunedee.wordpress.com/2010/12/05/seasonally-inappropriate
Greece is the word. December 5, 2010 at 1:45 pm. I’m not writing to bash the blinking, glittering, teetering blow-ups adorning several business establishments far before Thanksgiving. Okay maybe a little. Do you think they get a reprieve because Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated in Greece? Absolutely zero children. And, we carved pumpkins! In the holiday spirit, I share: Halloween, Anatolia Dorm Edition. How cute is this little guy? No, not the small child. Sadly, my camera decided to quit before Dom and I f...

Greece is the word. 8220;general instructions in case of earthquake”. December 7, 2010 at 2:08 pm. I forgot about that tiny detail: there are earthquakes in Greece. Big ones. Anyone remember the earthquake that destroyed Kefalonia in 1953. Me either. But I read about it in. Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Here’s a sample of our instruction pamphlet:.

Greece is the word. January 13, 2011 at 5:29 pm. I’m so sorry for the long silence. First it was because we had the big holiday break, and I returned stateside to spend good time with friends and family. I’m going to continue apologizing because I won’t be updating this blog anymore. I’m no longer presiding in Greece, and the blog. Greece is the word. Seems kind of irrelevant when I’m not actually living there, don’t you think? Entry filed under: Uncategorized. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Not I, nor anyo...

Greece is the word. Greece has snow days, too. December 16, 2010 at 7:28 am. The high-pitched beeps of the little travel clock on my bedside drawer reach all the way beneath thick layers of blankets. I pull my head into the frigid air and squint at my clock. 6:50 AM. I groan. Just hours before, I was getting meds for yet another stomachache-y kid. You’re saying,. You’re in Greece, right? Ready for wake-up duty? 8220;It’s going to snow! 8221; they chant in the hall long after Official Bedtime. “...And the...

Greece is the word. December 24, 2010 at 9:20 pm. 8220;All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware,” said Martin Buber, a Jewish philosopher-writer who added his thoughts to the list on travel quotations websites. I suppose he didn’t mean it as literally as this website assumed and as my fellow wanderers and I determinedly proved. And whatever else we desired, for we had the luxury of a rental car! Faithful readers already know of my affinity for rental vehicles. Any city, and ...

Greece is the word. Card-carrying english major must prove her legitimacy for props at work. October 25, 2010 at 4:31 pm. The answer is five, but forget that. First of all, English majors don’t do maths, and more importantly, there are so many other subjects like The English Language and Bioregionalism that I’d rather study.).
