*popular songs for Kozani: "Ti Losani, ti Kozani, hionia i mia ke hionia i alli"(=what Lausanne, what Kozani, there is snow in the one, snow in the other). "Irtha ap'tin Kozani, ma epesa se plani, otan se ida angalia, me allon ap'tin Kifissia"(=I came from Kozani, but I fall in plane, when I saw you in the hung of a man from Kifissia). "Se mia diadromi Kozani-Athina, psahno ke roto gia mia Christina"(=In a trip from Kozani to Athens, I'm looking and I'm asking for a girl who is called Christina).
*When to visit Kozani: the best period of the city is in the end of winter,on carnival. For 12 days everything is allowed. Every neighbourhood has it own fanos(=big fire), orchestra, local wine and food and dancing with scoffing and traditional songs. The best 'fanos' wins. In the central square are carried on the Sourd games between the schools of the region. The Fanoi are: Fanos Aristotelis, Fanos Ai-Thanasis, Fanos Gitia, Fanos Budanathka, Fanos Keramario, Fanos Pigad' tu Keramario, Fanos Sk'rka, Fanos Ai-Dimitris, Fanos Paulou Mela, Fanos Alonia, Fanos Kasmirtzidis, fanos Lakus t'Magan. Every fanos prepairs its instalations - in a central place of its region, which consist from three wooden houses. The biggest house is decorated like an old Kozani's living room, in the other house (kerastar') it is treating local wines and Kozani's traditional handmade foods, and in the other house there is the orchestra, which plays scoffing and traditional songs (and of course Kozani's "anthem": the enteka) and everybody dances around a big fire. Every night there is a fest in every Fanos, and the last Sunday night, after the big Carnival Parade, all fanoi turn on and everyone should drink, eat and dance in all of them.
*Nightlife: There are a lot of cafés, restaurants, bars, clubs...Kozani never sleeps!!!

* Η Μακεδονία δεν είναι ελληνική-Η Μακεδονία ΕΙΝΑΙ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ

Υ.Γ.: Για την πάρτη σας ρε σκατοφλώρια βάρβαροι πήγα κι έμαθα αγγλικά για να απαντάω σε κατι τσογλαναράδες σαν έσας!

In english too cocksuckers:

P.S.1: I just learnt english to be able to answer to barbarians like you.

P.S.2: The P.S.1 rephrased above contained a lot more indecencies but there are no matching words for them in english!

Προς όλες τις σκοπιανές-γιουγκοσλαβικές αποβολές-προιόντα αιμομιξίας(ή ό,τι σκ**α είστε): Η Ελλάδα μετρά χιλάδες χρόνων ιστορίας. Είμαι ικανός να διαβάσω αρχαία Ελληνικά απλώς μαθαίνοντας να γράφω και να διαβάζω νέα Ελληνικά, επειδή οι πρόγονοι μου είχαν την ίδια γλωσσά μ' εμένα. Είστε ικανοί να διαβάσετε αρχαία Ελληνικά ή έστω νέα; Φαντάζομαι πως όχι! Μην προσπαθέιτε μητρογάμηδες, αξιοκαταφρόνητα μιάσματα, να αποδείξετε πως έχετε οποιαδήποτε σχέση με τη χώρα μου και την καταγωγή μου. *

To all scopian-yugoslavian (or whatever the f**k you are) incest products: Ellas counts thousands of years of history. I am able of reading ancient Ellenic as any other Ellin just by learning to read and write modern Ellenic because my ancestors had the same language with me. Are you able to read ancient Ellenic or even modern? I guess not! Don't you motherf**king despicable taints try to prove that you have any connection to my country and origin. Macedonia is not Greek-Macedonia IS ELLAS

[zlatkoflash]
