After the circle we headed to the Annual International Christmas Bazaar
held at the nearby Helexpo exhibition centre on Kifissias Ave.
Almost all the embassies have stands with include their national foods and drinks.
Even Greece as host nation has a stand

At first glance you think what?
Since when did North Korea have an embassy in Greece (or anywhere)?
But actually N stands for Notos which in Greek means South.
(Notos was the god of the South Wind, one of the four Anemoi or Wind-Gods)
Doggie Style poses by the Indonesian stand's magnificent temple god
