One of the best things about a special day, Vaisakhi is no exception. One can sit back and enjoy the photos and videos a week, two weeks later, and say, Oh Yes! Look at that one. So wonderful! and Look at that one! It is great!
 
I am great surprised to see that there are Sikhs also living in Greece. How many ? I know Greece is a nice friendly country . Because its not far from The South of Serbia ( i am born in Central Serbia ) i have been in Greece several times but haven't ever seen any Sikh there. Really very great. I knew that in Greece there are living a lot of Indo- Europeans which came to South East Europe between 9th-11th century. In Spain , Italy , Bulgaria , Hungary, Romania and the territory of ex Yugosavia there are a lot of them. They talk the Romani language , which i havve never heard in India , it must be very old language and old tribes which have shifted on that time.
