By Peter Griziotis “Are these my fasolakia, Kosta?” So here I am, somewhat high on Tsantalis Ouzo, sitting astride a wobbly old chair in a restaurant that oozes atmosphere and the tantalising smells of lamb, oregano and fresh skordalia.

Mexico, Mexico City, "We are few but make a lot of noise", these were the first words of the Greek community’s chairwoman in Mexico City, Helen Stamatiadou. In this enormous city of 22 million of residents we could say that a small town just for Greeks exists. In Mexico City they live more from 230 families. Most of them come from Evia, they are second and third generation, and have been assimilated in their local society. However, they do not forget their homeland. Each Saturday is devoted in learning the Greek language with more than 50 Greek or Philhellenes students of each age group in five different departments. |
