Finishing France, Goodbye Greece!

Well, after finishing my tour of a couple of countries in Europe, I have learned a lot. I know now a lot more about the culture of France and Greece, which is great. But now I also realize just how different the world around me can be. I know now that in France, most people eat a baguette with their daily meals, a type of bread, which we typicaly call delicious French bread. I know that in Greece, they not only have spaghetti in meatballs, but a dish with meatballs alone, without pasta. I found out that the people of France speak french or english, and the people of Greece speak either greek, french or english. And now I know that this happie hippie is signing off after her tour of Europe, ready to go to either Asia, Australia or any other continent! :]
THE END!

History of Europe WWII

After learning about some history that lays in the past of Europe, I'd say I've learned enough about the whole WWII. It's really scary to think about the fact that once almost the whole of the European continent was invaded by Hitler and his Nazis. The idea of concentration camps are terrifying, and it's hard to grasp the realness of the whole situation, that real people had to go through all of that trauma. I'm glad that right now there is nothing currently going on like that, because I don't think I would know what to do at all.

Presidents of Greece and France

It's really confusing when the leaders of different countries don't go by President so and so because if they go by director of something like that, I don't know if they just lead one part of the country or the whole thing. But after some research I've found out that the President of France is Nicolas Sarkozy, and the President of Greece is Karolos Papoulias for a fact!!!

Greece's Different Holidays

It's cool to think that if you went to Greece, you wouldn't just celebrate the normal holidays that you do in the United States, like Christmas and Easter. In Greece, several of the holidays have really cool titles like Clean Monday, Name Day, and "the NO!" Clean Monday is the way Greecean people celebrate the first day of Lent, and they go to parks and have picnics and fly kites. The Name day is a dedication to people in Greece who have the name of a Saint, and it is considered even more important than birthdays. "the NO" is a holiday where the Mexatas said no to the Italians who wanted to invade the county.  This makes me think it would be pretty cool to live in Greece and celebrate these really cool holidays that they celebrate!!!
