In class today we discussed the final projects we must do in Crete and also after we leave. I cannot believe this is the last week of classes and we all leave early Sunday. Time flew by too fast, but it was a very memorable experience.
We began discussing about different types of environmental and organic products. One was ECOs a green laundry detergent by a chemist who grew up in Crete and then moved to America. We may even go see the documentary Green Story this week. Then we began to discuss about Creta Farms. We already have their sausage here. The sausage has the fat extracted out of the meat and instead of the fat they add olive oil. It is a healthier alternative to meat. Also Creta Farms has the only feta in the world that takes fat of the milk out (half) and puts olive oil in it to take fat part out. I have yet to try this but it sounds delicious.
The other section of class we began to discuss the education system here in Greece. There is no homeschooling in Greece. Also kindergarten is from 4-6 years old. Then 3 years are spent at a gymnasium, 3 years at a lyceum and then the national exams take place. Learning the education system in Greece is very different from the United States.
