Although I don't live in Greece, I am of Greek decent. Ask away, I'll do my best!
Is the current Greek alphabet that of the ancient Greek language (Alpha, Betta, Gamma, etc.) or does it use the Roman letters of English?

Ancient Greek and modern Greek do differ. But sadly I speak neither language, I'm hoping to change that though.

How will the Greek explain Europe the deficit of an extra 4 billion Euro's due to the olympics in such a poor country? Will Europe ask its other citizens extra money to pay the Greek deficit?
Don't you think that all that money better went to the economy instead of going to the pockets of a few happy rich construction baron's?
This 4 billion € are an extra deficit on the allready known deficit.

I'm not in a position of authority to answer that question. I'm sure things will be fine though.

No. That's one sterotype that us Greeks resent the most. Please keep inane comments like that to yourself.

Dunno. Jobs continue to decline, the economy just plain sucks, and things aren't going to look any better in the near future.
Did I mention I live in America?
