Any Hellenes in this country besides me? I'm feeling extra homesick and want to break this funk.
Where are you at, and what's your story? |

Ela patrioti,
I'm in Chuncheon, been here for 5 years(!!) already. Sick of being in the States, can't go back to patrida 'cuz I'm avoiding the army 'till 35. Can't really complain, like it more than dislike it.
How 'bout you?
There are actually MANY Greeks here, all at the shipyards of Ulsan/Koje/ Mokpo. Also, the Greek church in Aehyeon in Seoul is a good meeting ground. I see them on road trips to the south, or in Seoul. The owners of Santorini restaurant in Itaewon are another Greek/Korean couple. Great folks, though they're a bit older.
If you want more infos, PM me.

I would kill for a proper Greek gyro with tzaziki sauce and a huge greek salad with loads of feta. Damn, now I'm just torturing myself. |

I never joined a fraternity. From what I hear, I'm missing out.  |

Or if someone could bring one of the shwarma trucks down here to Masan or Changwon, are those Greek? |

Etho Ellatha! Yiasas patriotes.
proto ertha steen Korea 12 xronia peeso. Douleva yia mia ali eteria (Halla), tora doulevo yia mia megali eteria. Ta ellenika mou then enai toso kala, then piga elleniko scholio, ala megalosa steen ellatha mekri 15 xronon ke pega Americaniko scholio.
Pandreftika mia Koreata, ke ei mana mou me skotose.
Exoome mia elleniki eklesia etho. Then exo pai akomee.
Meno sto Seoul. Lakatereesa elleniko faxito. Thelo na fao loukoomades!
pola filia xxoo
Εδώ είναι Ελλάδα!
Ήρθα για πρώτη φορά στην Κορέα πριν από 12 χρόνια. Δούλεψα για μια κορεατική εταιρεία με την επωνυμία Halla. Τώρα για το άλλο μεγάλο έργο κορεατικής εταιρείας. Μεγάλωσα στην Ελλάδα, αλλά ποτέ δεν πήγε σε ελληνικά σχολεία. Πήγα στην αμερικανική σχολεία. Έζησα κοντά στην Αγία Παρασκευή Μεσογείων.
Εγώ παντρεύτηκα πριν από 11 χρόνια σε μια κορεατική γυναίκα.
Έχουμε μια ελληνική εκκλησία στη Σεούλ, αλλά ποτέ δεν έχω πάει εκεί.
Ζω στη Σεούλ. Μου λείπει πραγματικά τρώει ελληνικά τρόφιμα.

Tzazki sauce isn't hard to make big guy. My wife makes it once a week.
Tell you what made me cry last week. I was on Youtube and I came across this video of Maria Farantouri and Mikis Theodorakis - black and white. Hearing that song just blew me away. I haven't heard it since I was ten years old living back in the patrida mou.

This one made me cry too. I cried because I didn't marry a girl that looked like these hotties:

This will get you salivating. Would make a nice addition to a holiday buffet get-together, in the teachers lounge, or even for your students with a tray of veggies:

Tzatziki Sauce
"Easy dressing for gyros or Greek salad. Also makes a nice dipping sauce for Veggies."
INGREDIENTS
* 2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
* 2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded and diced
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/2 lemon, juiced
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
* 3 cloves garlic, peeled
DIRECTIONS
1. In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and garlic. Process until well-combined. Transfer to a separate dish, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavor.

Another recipe calls for fresh mint |

Don't forget to add a bit of celery to the mix along with your Aristotle "Harry" Agannis pride for it!

P.S.: Check out Minos Roast Beef in East Lynn or Marblehead, Massachusetts: The gals and guys (Greek) serve the most delicious food on the North Shore of Boston, Massachusetts. |
