So I finally was able to look through all of your Global Experiences worksheets and some of them really made me laugh! For example, Tevin was very interested in the types of girls there are in Greece and Bulgaria. He asked me to see if they were pretty or not (I'll make sure I take some pictures of the townspeople in Greece for you, Tevin). Ryan asked about gas prices in Greece, which is a great question...I will look forward to finding out the answer to that question. I do know that traffic is absolutely awful in Athens though (the capital of Greece). I also just got my Greece and Bulgarian travel guide books and phrase books and saw that, yes Miguel, there is a Mount Olympus. It is in the north somewhat near Thessaloniki, which is one city I will be traveling to. If I get a chance and see the mountain, I will post a picture of it on the blog!
Other random things I've been learning include:
- Olympia (a place I will be traveling to) is the home of the Olympic Games
- For me to say: I'm sorry, but I don't speak Greek well, I have to learn to say: "Lipoume, alla then milao ellinika kala"
- In Bulgaria the river just north of the country is the Danube (I love the Danube River song...have you heard it?)
- The climate will be warm: I'm supposed to bring sunscreen! Yay :)
Stay tuned....I'll tell you what more I learn soon. I actually leave on the plan for Athens on the 29th of May, so I will start posting pictures after that!

I hope you have a good time and i will like to know what kind of clothes do the people wear in Greece.
I hope you have a great time and i would like to know what the clothes look like that the people wear in Greece.-Brianna Collins
Hmmmm...I'll keep all your questions in mind as I'm traveling.
I definitely like this question about the clothing. I will do some research when I'm in Greece. There is a good possibility that the clothing differs depending on if the person lives in the city (Athens) or the country.

Ms. Gartland I hope you have enough fun for us all. Can you find out what types music genres the teenagers like in Greece and what types of sports they like that we may not have here, and a popular dance that is known and if they have Xbox 360's and Wii's.
Ms. Gartland I'm curious about what they do for fun in Bulgarian. Its a big area.
Another question I'm not sure of is, do they have cars i just can't imagine?
Also have a great trip. Looking forward to see the pics!!!

Hi Ms. Gartland! Hope you have an awesome time as Greece, and if you can bring back some music for the class can listen to, i remember watching a video on youtube and they had some Greek hiphop music playing in the background and it was really catchy, just that i didn't know what they was saying =p
