It would be like using the original English Authorized 1611 King James Version of the biblical text (despite some fundamentalist claims that it is the only true word of God and that it can actually correct the Hebrew and Greek from which it was translated). [sigh]<BR/><BR/>Anyway...<BR/><BR/>I can ask him how to say, "I'm allergic to shrimp and crabs" and then ATTMEPT to post it here, OR I would suggest the greek/english online dictionary that Nicole linked to.

It is one of the countries of Europe that is so touristic they all speak english. So no worries there. Also I don't know where you heard that about having them a lot of scrimp, but that isn't true. You can get a lot of meat and also vegetarian dishes.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794073010954991300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-66663390835654889882007-05-17T01:19:00.000-04:002007-05-17T01:19:00.000-04:00No help here -- but I'd try going to the Greek res...No help here -- but I'd try going to the Greek resturaunt.

It's probably close enough to be understood. Probably more like saying, "I am allergic in the prawns and in the crabs." LOL! That's the reverse translation of the above.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-11705327663950820442007-05-16T20:48:00.000-04:002007-05-16T20:48:00.000-04:00how about carrying a photograph of a plate of shri...how about carrying a photograph of a plate of shrimp and crab with the universal "NO" sign over it (the red circle with a slash through it)?
