Enjoy “Kathari Deytera” and Forget About the Bailout….

German coalition government will vote in favour of the second bailout package for Greece. Even though some MPs will down vote it, it is expected that the opposition parties (Social Democrats, Greens) will support the aid for the debt-ridden country. Therefore, we, Greeks, are allowed to enjoy the Kathari Deytera (Clean Monday) with lent food like octopus, shrimps, oyster, lagana and tarama-salad. Those living in areas without rain or snow, will be even able to fly a kite.

Enjoy the customs of the day and forget about bailouts and economic misery. At least for one day 🙂
