3 posts | 1 read
When you enter Greece's mountainous peninsula, with its long coastline and unique archipelago, you are returning to the cradle of Western civilization. And while the ancient Greeks fashioned our political, ethical, aesthetic, and scientific values, their descendants down the ages have continued to set trends and shape world events. The Greek character is a product of the landscape. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the physical features of the land forged the pronounced individuality and strong local patriotism of the warring city-states of antiquity. Their shared history and language formed the basis of a powerful world culture. Today it is coming to terms with its recent economic and political upheavals. The Greeks have repeatedly proved they can adjust and shift their expectationsthe new generation knows the old ways have gone and is bracing itself for unpredictable challenges. Culture Smart! Greece will equip you with essential information about the background, values, and attitudes of the people you will meet and give practical advice on how to deal with unfamiliar situations. Life in Greece operates on many criss-crossing levels, offering plenty of possibilities and a variety of lifestyles. Visitors emerge from their Greek experience enriched for life, with an enduring affection for this beautiful land and its gifted people.

And another great book in this series. Seems like they can't do anything wrong. It was so interesting to read about #Greece and the Greek. What a fascinating state of mind they've got! And there's always so much to learn. I so love reading those books for the #FoodandLit challenge.

Yesterday I had Stuffed Bell Pepper with Rice, a recipe from #Greece called Gemista. It was nice, especially because the pepper was so big I could eat it like a Burger 😁

FYI it wasn't my fault that it got burned. Somebody elsevin our house hold took longer than expected to finish their computer game... 😒

Jari-chan @Pageturner1 It doesn't look like it, but yes, it was yum 😁 2y
Texreader I enjoy stuffed bell peppers but no one else in the house does so I never get them. And I rarely mind a little char. 2y
