1st December, World Aids Day

Tomorrow is the World aids Day. Basic information can save lives and let us enjoy sex without any limits!

HIV/AIDS is beyond doubt contagious but take note, only through fecal-oral route, blood, needles, blood transfusions, mother to fetus, wound-to-wound contact and most of all thru sexual contact. It is transmittable in nature and not a genetic viral or genetic deformity.

The factors that HIV is most likely transmittable are:

1. Through sexual activity between inflicted person
2. By blood to blood transfusion
3. From inflicted pregnancy to her fetus

You must avoid, unprotected sex that are oral, anal and heterosexual sex, blood exposure, transplacental contagion, childbirth transmission and breastfeeding from inflicted person.

 

However, there is much hearsay on HIV, but here are some basic proven FACTS you must be aware of:

• HIV cannot contaminate through mere casual touching like, handshaking and hugging
• HIV cannot contaminate you by using a public phone, drinking fountain, restroom, swimming pool, Jacuzzi or on hot tubs.
• HIV cannot be taken from shared drinks, coughing and sneezing from a person inflicted to it.
• HIV cannot be transmitted by donating blood.
• HIV cannot infect you by mosquito or insects bites.

HIV contamination is generally through body fluid exchanges like, blood, semen, saliva, and vaginal secretion. Always avoid all forms of unsafe sexual intercourse whether oral, vaginal or anal or with HIV credible individual. On sexual activity either orally, you must use latex condom for you not to be exposed of the risk. Always remember that pre-ejaculation fluid can transmit the virus and can be absorbed into the thin mucous linings of the mouth. To reduce the threats, acquire safe sex practices, the ecstasy cannot eventually pay the harm done on you.

There’s much more than Pita Gyros in this life…

OK guys, we know that you LOVE PITA but there are so many other greek delicacies that you can try in almost every place that you buy the pitas! There are plenty of other stuff to choose from the menu that you have no idea about, simply because “it all seems greek to you…”

So we are here to let you know what all these things in the menu are, that have no translation in english!!!

Starters

• Tirokafteri- Τυροκαυτερή
  A more spicy dip made from Feta cheese & red peppers!

Meat ( usually in a portion for 1-2 people max. )

• Kontosouvli-Κοντοσούβλι
  Consists of large chunks of pork meat which are marinated first and then skewered and secured by a rod/spit and slow-roasted over a charcoal pit.

  The result is just perfect! Definitely a MUST! ( my favorite 😉 )

• Kokoretsi-Κοκορέτσι
  It’s a dish also very common in Turkey, consisting mainly of lamb or goat intestines,hearts,lungs or kidneys.The ingredients are sliced and seasoned with lemon, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.The filling meats are threaded onto a long skewer and wrapped with the intestine to hold them together.

  It maybe sounds a bit disgusting but the taste is far from that! ( the best part is the outside layer…at least for most Greeks :P)

• Skepasti-Σκεπαστή
  The exact translation in English means covered and makes perfect sense! Imagine the meat of your choice ( usually pork or chicken gyros) with cheese, lettuce & sauce all covered up with pita bread!Usually it is served on a dish.

Other Skewers ( usually you can also have them inside a pita!)

• Kotobacon-Κοτομπέικον
  It’s a skewer of chicken wrapped with slices of bacon.!
• Loukaniko-Λουκάνικο
  The Greek sausage. Usually with a characteristic flavor from the herbs-spices inside!
• Bifteki-Μπιφτέκι
  A different kind of a meatball, equally delicious plus bigger in size!

We advise you to always have tzatziki along with the meat, as a dip!!!

Please let us know when you try any of them and of course give us your feedback !!!!

Nutella breakfast(in 10′)

Hi there erasmus people,

I woke up today at 11:30 and I was starving. I opened my fridge and I saw a jar full of nutella and slices of toast. I was considering about spreading the nuttela at the toasts. This was the easy way, I thought, so I called my best friend Angela who is really a good cook especially for breakfast and nutella stuff. So here is how you can transform nutella and bread to a delicious and fancy breakfast.

8 slices of toast

Nutella (as much as you want J )

One banana (or a fruit of your preference)

3 eggs

Half a cup of milk

Cinnamon(optional)

Preparation

Spread as much nutella  as you desire  at each slice of toast. Cut the banana into slices and place them in 4 of the 8 slices, over the nutella. Close the sandwiches. In a bowl, pour milk, eggs and cinnamon and whisk them with a fork. Grease lightly a deep pan with butter or olive oil, on medium heat. Dip the sandwich in the mixture. Don’t keep it in the mixture for a life time, just for few seconds  :p . Put them in the pan and cook it from both sides until it becomes slightly browned.

Enjoy your breakfast!!

Sorry for the photo but I couldn’t hold myself not to eat a piece of my creation before taking the photo. It was so delicious. Try that recipe and you will see 😉

If you like it just let me know. I will ask my friend Angela for more nutella recipes.

Musical “Naked boys Singing”

Hello erasmus!!

ESN Athens has a suggestion for you for this:
Thursday 14th of MAY

Naked boys singing! Nope, it’s not a game , it’s a musical.In fact, one of the most successful in Greece and the world.

So?Are you up for the challenge of a musical in Greek???

A few words about the musical…to get into the clue…
Apart from the very interesting music and choreography, the originality of this modern musical lies on the fact that it dares to portray the true innocent face of male nudity! The Greek version, adjusted accordingly to present today’s’ Greek male perspective, takes the show to another level! It deals with issues such as unemployment, family pressure and society expectations, relationships, the maternal connection, love life, career, loneliness, alienation, as well as provocative – and sometimes taboo – subjects, such as masturbation, muscle worship, or even the fear of getting undressed in the locker rooms, always installed however with a great sense of humor!

Accompanied by live music and video projections, seven impressive talented young men, sing, act and dance for you on stage, revealing their naked truth, thus achieving a very sensual – and at the same time artistic – sensation!

SO, are you ready for this??? The price we have assured for you is 18euros for 2 people. Normal price is 25 euros for one person. After the show we shall go to a bar at gazi area.

INTERESTED?? ?SEND us an email and let us know the names of people that want to come. We always need to have an even number (2-4-6 etc).

Once you send us an email on esn_aueb@yahoo.gr or a facebook message and we will send back confirmation.

So, to sum up:
Meeting point – Kerameikos Metro Station (blue line)
Time – 20:15

Lets get Cultured!!!
