Living in Greece ~ April 14,2010

If I could live anywhere on this earth it would have to be the shoreline in the country of Greece. In Greece there are many beautiful buildings anywhere you look and the people are so accommodating. The beautiful buildings would be any of the wide variety of museums that many different cities in Greece have. Also in 2008, the Olympics were hosted in Greece so there are many newer attractions to see that were built just for the people who attended the Olympics could enjoy as they stayed in Greece. However the buildings are not the only beautiful thing in the cities scattered throughout Greece. If you even start walking through the city towards the coastline, you can see the gorgeous clear blue water and the white sandy beach area. The water looks even more beautiful in contrast to the white adobe houses that tend to always line the shore. Also the people that live there are so welcoming and inviting that you will want to live there too. Many people who live in Greece have had family there for many centuries. This is different for Americans to experience because of the many immigrants that come to live in America. The people of Greece give visitors a sense of welcoming by treating them as if they were their own family. Through this feeling, the natives of Greece make the tourist want to come back and experience more of their country. Walking down the narrow cobble stone of the streets, the visitor will tend to receive at least 10 smiles and maybe even a hug or two. Also the food is very fattening but very good! Incorporating olive oil into most everything that they make, Greek food is very rich in taste. It is for these reasons and more that I would want to live in Greece.
