I stopped at that point and told him that I was Greek from Macedonia , "native hellenophon Macedonian" ...after 3min the guy left because he had "things to do"

The only thing that pisses me off is that at that time I had only the 1/5 of my present historical knowlegde !!!!! If the same event happened today ...it would of been "showtime" !!!!

ahhhahaHHHHAHAA!

Well done my friend!!!

Thats how you have to deal with these guys!

That's a great idea - no need to resort to arguments, let our beautiful language do the talking!

Γειά σας παιδιά. Είμαι καινούριο μέλος και ονομάζομαι Δημήτρης.
Ασχολούμαι με τους ελληνικούς χορούς και συγκεκριμένα διδάσκω χορό στο χορευτικό του Δήμου Πατρέων, ενώ μου αρέσει ιδιαίτερα η μουσική και ο χορός της Μακεδονίας. Με ενθουσίασε η πληρότητα του site σας και γι αυτό σας αξίζει ένα μεγάλο μπράβο αλλά και ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ από όλους εμάς που σκαλίζουμε το Internet προς αναζήτηση στοιχείων σχετικά με τον ελληνικό χορό.
