Letter to the editor of a magazine



Dear Editor,
I’m writing to express my concern about an advert which appeared in your magazine the last week.
I have to say that at the beginning the product persuaded me about it efficiency, because it offers a natural product, and the brad asserts that the product is highly effective in 97% of the cases.
Therefore I decided to order that forcibly product, the problems started from the very beginning, at the moment I ordered the product, the company assert me that they will envy the special introductory pack, but when I received the package it was incomplete, evidently I got disappointed and I call the company at the same phone number they provided in the advertisement in your magazine, and surprisingly they didn’t answer my call.
Furthermore I started to use the shampoo, and that I got was all the adverse, in my hair started to appear white scales, I went to the doctor and his diagnostic was that the shampoo caused me dandruff.
Until nowadays I’ve failed trying to communicate with the company, for the reasons I’ve express before I suggest you to check better what you publish in your famous magazine taking into account that this kind of situations could harm your magazine’s credibility.
I really hope you read this letter which only pretends to make you a critical suggestion, to respect your readers.

What about Greek food?

Well now I'll present you a top of the most bizarre foods from Greece
1) PATSAS. Is a tripe soup that includes feet this was adopted from turkey in 1920
2) LAMBS HEAD .it's used to the annual easter holiday. The favorite part of this dish to greeks is the tongue and the brain
3)KOKORETSI. this is most typically enjoyed on easter Sunday,it's a rotisserie dish consisting of organ meat (heart, liver and spleen) from lamb wrapped in it's the intestines, often preparated with lemon, olive oil, oregano, and salt.
4) SPLINANTERO.is a sausage made from spleen and mutton that's been broiled over charcoal fire.

Superstitions of Greek people

It's important to say that this superstitions come from religion or paganism

Like some people here in Mexico, greeks  think that if,someone sees a cat, this is supposed to be bad luck for the rest of the day.

There are also one that called my attention, and it's the expression Piase Kokkino, and takes place  when two people  say the same thing together at the same time,they immediately say "piase kokkino"that means "touch red", and both have to touch something red from the environment.
They have to do that because greeks believe that say the same thing is an Omen and then will get a fight or argument if don't touch something red.
What do you think about this ? ,please let me know

What is APOKRIES?

Well last day I was chatting with a friend from Greece, I asked her to told me something about her country, traditions, customs, etc.
She told me about the carnival, there is called APOKRIES, well this celebration take place during two weeks, beginning from Sunday or meat fare, and ends with the first day of lont (clean Monday).
The carnival takes place in streets, throwing coloured confetti
The carnival is believed to come from paganism or from old festivities worshipping DIONYSUS (good  wine)

Strange habits in Greece

Well now let me share you some information about strange habits in Greece
Something that really called my attention was that in Greece men hold rosaries and worry beads in their hads only to kill the time and not exactly for religious facts.

Another is that pople don't eat alone in public places in Greece like taverns, pubs, restaurants,etc. So if you go alone, the waiter won't serve you ..... That's so strange, what do you think ?

Let's talk about greek clothing and accesories

well to start  is important to say that greek clothing used to be very simple, they used the famous cloaks (that we can see in famous films, for example  300), that cloacks  usually were made of linen or wool, pople could buy their clothes in the Agora ( market place) , but usually were too expensive, so many pepole decided to made their own clothes, but the clothes were made by the mother, her daughters or female slaves, never by men.
The clothes used to be made  of bright color, well it depended of the city- state in which they lived, the ancient greeks were very proud of  their home city- state.
Now I'll tell you something about jewelry, as you should know , greeks used to love jewelry both men and women  loved hairpins, rings, and earrings,necklaces,  but only rich could afford much jewelry
