Sweden and Greece are two European countries, with Sweden in the north and Greece in southeastern Europe. They are two different countries with different cultures, traditions and different ways of life. Even though both countries are part of Europe, there are many differences in how people live, communicate and spend their free time. These differences can be seen in everything, family, food, social relationships, work and traditions. Comparing Sweden and Greece is very intere

My roommate Nicolai and I decided to take a trip to Athens and stay there for three nights. We were planning to visit some ancient ruins, explore popular tourist attractions, and meet up with the friends we had made during our Arrival Training.

I went to the garden, no one had been there for a long time so there were many things I had to do like clean, pull up the weeds, organize tools, see what materials we had and what projects I want to do in the future.

I have a rule on my own when I'm traveling. I do not drink or consume drugs. It could only lead me bad ways. The euphoria and drunkenness times always arrives fast enough in the Babylon's daughters enclosure. So, if you'd be reading this from the beginning, thank you and congrat's, It mustn't have been easy to endure the arrogant writing. But at least now you know..
