Cinnamon and Life
Cinnamon and the High Cost of Living can be found on my other web page Taxidia tis Zois.
To Taxidi in Greek is a trip or a journey, at taxidia is the plural form, zoi is life, thus thatÂ’s purpose of my other web page, the Journeys of life of a Misplaced Filipina in Greece. Perhaps it needs to be edited, Misplaced in Oslo!
Photo was taken few days before I left Athens for UK, when I went to the central market to buy freshly grounded coffee. In the area are shops selling wholesale tea, spices thus the huge cinnamon hanging, and other wonderful things, I can’t find here in Oslo.
Spices are cheap in South East Asia. When I come to Athens in June, would you like me to bring you some spices and other stuff? I will let you know where I will be staying. I will be there by 3rd June. Will be travelling with a big group of 25 (not a tour group). We will have a business program for the first two days or so and tours have been arranged for the other days.
BAYI thanks for the offer, our flat in Athens is actually like a mini bazaar itself, WE have lots of spices brought from our travels and we even have a huge basket of it from Grenada (Caribbean) there are many spice shop in Athens too.Greek food is easter style of cooking, in which you can find similarities in Lebanese cooking etc.Cinnamon is used fo sauces in Greece.
When I was in Indonesia I actually bought a lot of “smelly” things. Life is great when its spiced up !
Hope to meet you up inAthens, we have to go back sometime to do sort out things over there.
I feel very at home with this photo. It looks like a normal shop along the side streets of Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok or even Manila. 🙂
