It's all Greek to me.


Greece is a great country with a horrible economy. Germany has been receiving money from Greece after World War Two without having to pay back. I think it was very kind of Greece to pay Germany so they can get back on their feet. Now Germany's paying Greece back because Greece's economy collapsed. The Greek economy used to rely on farming and fishing, but most Greeks today work in service jobs like tourism, education, government, and health care. Shipping is a major business. Mining is also important to the economy. Other than the economy they like sports. Their favorite sport is soccer or futbul. Greece has never won a game in an international soccer tournament, but Greece won the European Championship in 2004. I don’t pay attention to soccer but I know that the European Championship is a big deal. Greeks elect a president. They have 5 year terms and they can have two of those. The longest they can go is 10 years maximum. So as you can see Greece is a great country. https://www.pinterest.com/jgoldperiod4/jacob-a-period-7/

  1. I liked you blog. I thought it was interesting how you talked about Greece helping Germany. I thought that you could've added a little bit more detail on the sports. Other then that, I thought it was good.

  2. I thought you did a good job presenting. It was cool to find out that Syria and Greece both have soccer teams and they both are not very good. It was also cool to learn that they help Germany with their economy. I thought you did a good job.

  3. Jacob I thought you did a great job on your presentation but I wish you had more information. Madagascar and Grease are nothing like. because you payed someone money and then they paid you, Madagascar has almost no money. In Madagascar we play soccer but we have never won anything. but you guys have in 2004. Our Governments are totally different you said that the Prime Minister does most of the work well it is the other way around for Madagascar. Well I enjoyed your presentation I hope you enjoyed mine.

  4. I thought your blog was great except maybe a little more information. Chad and Greece do not have much alike except both countries play soccer. Also it was cool learning about how Greece gave Germany money and now Germany is giving Greece money.

  5. Jacob-I liked the use of the political cartoon and your explanation that went along with it. The debt in Greece is hard to understand and you did a great job explaining it. I think you also were able to explain the government and would love to see more beautiful pictures of the islands! Nice job!

  6. I think you did a good job on your presentation explained everything very well. Greece and China don't really have a lot in common. It was cool to learn about how Greece gave Germany money but now Greece needs money.
