Learning About Greece

Below is a list of the things that we've read about that really interested us:
1. School gets out at 2:30 pm and they are not fed lunch. They eat a late lunch at home because supper is not served in Greece until 8 or 9 pm.
2. Greece is only 50,718 square miles but has a population of 10,647,529!! (this prompted a search online to see what the Kansas stats are. We found that Kansas is 82,264 square miles and our population is 2,853,118. Wow!)
3. The majority of the population of Greece is Greek Orthodox. In other words--Christian.
4. Children usually stop going to school at the age of 15 so that they can go to work to help the family.
5. Jasmine found it interesting that teens in Greece enjoy some of the same music groups that she does: Evanescence, Linkin Park and HIM
6. Legal Ages: alcohol consumption 16, driver's license 18, employment 16, leave school 15, marriage 18, military service 18 and voting 18.
7. Ancient Greece was somewhat like the pioneer days here in the United States as far as children having to help with the household chores.
8. In Ancient Greece the father's chose who the daughters married, and this was usually at the age of 13.--only boys from wealthy families got to attend school, girls from wealthy families had a tutor---poor children didn't get an education.
9. In ancient Greece, women were rarely allowed to leave the home--they were to stay home and take care of the children and everything about the home. Even wealthy women had to stay home and instruct the slaves.
10. In Sparta both boys and girls were taken from their families at the age of 7 and trained in different sports. The girls were trained so that they would become healthy women in order to bear strong sons that would make good soldiers.

If you want to add some value to your promotional campaign you can disseminate some creative way to distribute valuable information like imprinting ten unique things about a place of importance. This will not make your promo items interesting but will also have a long impression on your target audience.

Imagine you are imprinting the name of ten great Greek cuisines one must taste if planning a trip to Greece on your Custom Promotional T shirts. This way you can make your brand more visible and this will help projecting your brand in a positive manner.

Also when you will wear these personalized t-shirts people see your brand and remember your specialties as people tend to forget less about unique things. Thus your brand will have a larger audience and all these can be done at a very nominal cost.
