Hi Chris!

In America I am a Greek-American, and in Greece I'd be an American Greek. Hopefully one takes the best of both worlds/cultures and the final product is passable as human. LOL

The only "big" things about Greeks would be their / (our?) egos,arrogance and names. It gotten to the point that my mother's maiden name is the PERFECT securuty question and I just spell it at this point; no sense in pronouncing it.

My mother's aunt (who married into that name) simply shorteneted it to somtthing more Anglicized and used it that way. She told her husband, "You, I love. Your name? Not so much!"

My family's tax returns ( and other offical documents) had a/k/a (also known as) all over them.

Just like the Chinese do here, many Greeks take on a "regular" English name to be able to get by.

The net migration between USA and Greece is negative (i.e. OUT of the USA). Not a bad place, but the negatives are: it's hard to make a good living, opportunity is limited, and it's full of Greeks! LOL


OK enough preaching and pointless rambling. Thanks for the shout-out!
