ATHENS

 

So now I am back from Thessaloniki  ! Loads of laundry in my suitcase and just 3 days to relax . On Thursday I am starting with my exams for 14 days . 4 more to take and then finally I will have my diploma in methodic and didactic of the German language . After that I am no freelance any more and I will have the proper contract with the school I am already working for . 
Thessaloniki was very busy but there was still time for a bit of fun with my coworkers . So we went to play Bowling which was real fun as my last season was manyyy years ago . But , I finally managed to even get one round !!!

 
 
Back in Athens I went to the movies watching Lincoln , which I liked very much ! Before that I had a very long and beautiful walk in the city centre . I just LOVE Athens ! Especially at night !

 
Have a great Day everyone !!!

  Traditions of Cutting the Vassilopita Each family has its own tradition for cutting the Vassilopita, however they all have one thing in common: the wish for good fortune in the new year. Traditionally, pieces are cut ceremoniously by the head of the household and allocated to the church (Holy Trinity and Virgin Mary), then the head of the household (male), his wife, their children (oldest to youngest), other family members by degree of relatedness, then guests. The coin or small medallion (flouri, pronounced floo-REE) is a tradition symbolizing an extra measure of good fortune for whoever gets the piece where it has been hidden during baking, and this can cause serious confrontation if ownership of the coin is disputed. Therefore:
  • when inserting the coin, insert parallel to the way a knife will cut so it will remain in one piece;
  • when making the first cut, declare loudly who gets the pieces on either side of the knife so there are no disputes;
  • if a coin does end up between two pieces, the piece that has the larger part gets the coin.
