Adding to the list of things I didn’t think about in the past which seem fairly obvious now is that in Greece, they play different sports than we do I America. While children here play basketball and football, and some of the adventurous ones shoot and go mountain biking, in Greece they mostly swim and play soccer, volleyball, and a little basketball. They do not seem to particularly enjoy expensive sports or those that are full-contact or dangerous. It seems that Americans might prefer to have fun with the thrill of danger while the Greeks are more conservative in their play.
