My Comment on your first blog.

Whow! Alot of you have really been travelling the world. You did an excellent job on the first blog. i do want to hear from the rest of you though. Don't forget to take a look-see at what everyonehas posted. It is SO interesting the observations that some of you have made about these foreign citieis and foreign countries and the prices of things.

I spent the summer in Greece and fell in LOVE with the islands. There were so many interesting places (Paradise Beach Mykonos - for those of you who have been there - you know what I mean) but the MOST interesting place was seeing the Caldera in Santorini. The ocean is as blue as the picture. The Caldera is the edge of a volcano. The cliff where this church is located must be about 1000 feet off the ocean. The houses are built right on the cliff. Just becautiful.



I didn't find the prices much different than in Canada - clothing costs were similar as were food costs. Probably because everywhere we went was for tourists.

    I am international student in Canada, so not get chance to travel a lot. I came from India on January 28, 2008. India is quite interesting and one of the biggest democratic countries. But when I have a look on its economy, I will say I don’t know how that country is running and even developing day by day. India is a country with a big poor population and very high level of corruption in government, which results that poor is going poorer and rich is going richer day by day.
    90% population of India deal with cash money with each other, on stores and banks which result small percent of people give tax. Only person who work in government sector give proper tax from their income, where as all big guys (business mans and politicians) not prefer to give tax.
    Yea I did lots of shopping out there and here in these three years, if I am going to compare prices I will say there are many things which are expensive here but there are things to which are expensive over there
    For example: laptops are really cheap here as compared to India but houses over here are way too expensive
    I can’t say that its less expensive to live in India as compared to Calgary or Canada. If you live in India you work in India too and in India labor wages are really less. $4 to $5 for a day,which is not enough to live a good life but if your income is from here and you want to live over there I will say that’s awesome place to live.
