    Crime Paris discontinues bicycle rental due to vandalism and theft

    I wish it was like that in Athens too. Although there are quite a few cities in Greece that have a very well organized system for biking, the Mayor of Athens just recently announced that the first bike roads are going to be created soon... Athens is an old city and in the past it was built very...

    What do you like and dislike about each language ?

    I don't quite agree with this. English is only rich because it is influenced by many other languages over the years. English words that are not borrowed by other languages are a lot less than greek/russian/arabic ones. As for the languages I can speak: English: I like that its very easy to...

    Wacky news Are you really your father's child ?

    I would assume that the belief that 1/10 fathers don't raise their biological kid is because up till recently, DNA tests were done by fathers or kids doubting already, and if u have reasons to doubt i guess it's more likely to be correct. If someone doesn't have reasons to believe that his...

    SWEDEN: The Battle of the Sexes goes on!

    In Greece u will usually find more female students in universities than male ones. Of course it depends on the field of studies, for example 90% of philosophy students are girls as opposed to 70-80% of computer science students being males. But for example in the army (army in Greece is...

    SWEDEN: The Battle of the Sexes goes on!

    After having discussed this topic several times with friendly couples from Greece and Italy, the reason they don't have more than one kid is mostly cause of economical reasons. Bringing up a child costs a lot and when a 25 year old person that just graduated is getting paid for less than 1000...

    Neanderthal : facts and myths

    Do we know the differences between the northern and southern Neanderthal? Did both have fair hair/skin/eyes and all those other characteristics u mention in the other thread? Do we have any evidence of Neanderthals living in Greece? I've recently read this article about how blue eyes appeared...

    Politics Should Turkey Join The EU?

    that's exactly how i meant it. Greece, located between Europe, Asia and Africa, has always been a place where many tribes settled since ancient years and modern Greeks are now a mixture of all those. This also applies for the western part of Turkey and if u consider the fact that up to 1922...

    Politics Should Turkey Join The EU?

    I guess that Western Turks are close to European average because all the western territories of Turkey, those close to the Aegean Sea were Greek territories during Byzantine empire and people living there at the moment are probably Greek decedents. If u take a look at Turkish people living in...

    How much of a Neanderthal are you ?

    I've got all the characteristics except for the round-flat finger tips. My hair used to be a very light shade of white-blond when i was young but gradually it became darker as i was growing up and now it's a dark-warm shade of blond with red pigments, especially at sunlight they look even more...

    What is ideal height for girls?

    Im 165 but ive always wanted to be around 168... I guess 3cm isnt a big deal but i think 168 is perfect for a girl. Not too tall to "scare" shorter guys but tall enough to reach the top shelves at the supermarket :P
