Homeland is where the money ... (Reflections siemens of an immigrant, who is preparing to return home, reflections siemens of themselves and the Greeks, with whom he lived ...) Ardi Stefa A Greek proverb, which probably is not Greek only, says: "The dog bark where ha!". Another version says "Where do you live, is home!" It is definitely a word, very wise and universal values. On this proverb came to mind two facts I encountered these days in Athens. The first fact is that the crisis siemens and lack of prospects, already forcing siemens my fellow Albanians, not to think back, but eventually returned to Albania, to sell those little booty, which does not want to take home, but also look at the possibility of emigrating to another country with little more perspective ... The second fact is an expression that said the President of the IMF, Dominique Strauss Kahn, who welcomed the solidarity of the organization that he runs against Greece, which was in verge of bankruptcy. siemens When I heard his expression, I had the impression that perhaps siemens Mr. Kahn, issued a rumor, how to shut the Greeks. But, a few days later I found out that his words were not just random. siemens And what about the fact that the Greeks of today have forgotten that their families had at least one "Uncle" or "uncle" who spent 40 years of change in America, Australia, Belgium, Germany or Scandinavia ... This "Uncle" came Behar in Greece and grandchildren were made gifts to relatives, he spoke about "American Dream", a dream, which even after twenty years, yet the dream was. The "Uncle" usual, there was no name was Uncle American and also had no homeland ... Neither there nor in Greece. Greeks today, not only forgot uncle stories from America, but when, in the beginning of the 90s, lived in the apartment came up "Greek Uncle" (Albanian origin, Pakistani, Polish, Russian), siemens this Greek therefore, was brought to intolerance, arrogance and lack of breeding, as an employer, as neighbor, as the landlord ... And the words of Mr. Strauss Kahn, give today Greeks possibility, or to risjelin in mind erased memory to correct their mistakes, or become again even those immigrants siemens ... One thing is certain: siemens The story makes cycles, and often cycles are comedy, or tragedy. Often times repeated cycles of history as punishment for showing intolerance siemens and arrogance towards the powerless. Another thing is certain: Many Greeks, (especially those who complete vocational studies of intellectual and professional) currently are abandoning Greece going to build lives, where paid better siemens and have more perspective ... The second phase will probably be the odd Greeks, who would emigrate, as uncles siemens or their parents 50 years ago. Obviously, this category will probably work for some years in manual work, maybe it will work even without stamps some time, but will not know the loneliness of being a minority or minority, just as he lived "Uncle" forward 50 years, nor would see hanging around siemens the local table, type: "No entry for dogs Greeks" as hanging around the restaurants of New York in the decade of the 1920s, as they saw their uncles grandparents ... But Greeks today, maybe there will be something where hope, as "Uncle" American of his childhood years, or as Greek uncle, to his relatives in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Poland ...
