The text gives multiple facts about the history of Poland, such as when it Joined NATO in 1999. Poland was overrun By Germany during World war II but has had a resurgence since then as it has cut its communistic ties recently. 

I had already known that Poland was overrun in Germany during world war II, but I was glad to be informed about its  continuous participation in Euro-Atlantic Organizations.

The text states that the revolts in the Ukraine have lead to an instability that Russia does not know what to do with. The Ukrainians pulled down all the statues of Lenin during the revolution of Dignity because they saw ties of Lenin to present day Russia. 

I did not know that there was so much controversy and revolts taking place in present day Ukraine, so this is saddening to hear, but I understand if there is corruption occurring, something must be done.

The article goes in to describing the beautiful Aosta Valley, among it resides Savoy Castle which was the chosen residence of Margaret of Savoy.

Candela is a town that has a major problem; its population is dwindling. For this reason the mayor of the town is offering roughly 2000 euros to entice people to move to the city.

I think this is very interesting, because in a majority of large cities around the world you have the problem of overcrowding, which is the complete opposite problem that Candela, Italy is having.

The part of The article that I read pertained to the economy of Serbia. Serbia's economy is largely dominated by market economy and driven highly by outside investment. I also read that there are currently debates going on about a section of Serbia that declared it's independence and the country is dealing with that.

This is interesting to learn because beforehand I did not know much about Serbia at all, as well as the part that is declaring independence and how Serbia is dealing with that.

The article goes into detail to describe the conditions in Hungary how most migrants traveling through the country, and many people living in the country do not want to stay there. They state that there is no opportunity for a future, the economy is poor and there is little to no room for advancement.

I did not know this about Hungary. It's sad to hear that it is in such a situation but hopefully things can turn around.

Germany is leading the way in renewable resource revolution. In recent years they have upped there renewable energy sources to 27% of their consumed energy. They also have began shutting down all of their nuclear power plants, nine have already been shut down. Germany is stating that in order to evade a environmental crisis, every nation across the world is going to have to adopt more environmental friendly approaches to creating energy

I think this is a wonderful opportunity to learn from a country that is making the move towards a sustainable future. It is important to fight against destroying our environment because it is the only one we have, and if countries like Germany are leading the way, we should follow.

Germany is currently operating at an estimated 300billion dollar trade surplus, this stems from its recovery after world war II. Trump wants to call for tariffs, but that could potentially be dangerous, as America is being cited as protectionist and the potential tariffs could be harmful to all

I think that is is amazing how far Germany has been able to come after the devastation during world War II. Its not an easy feat to be able to reach a point to be a world powerhouse in such a short amount of time the way Germany has and there could be a lot to learn from them.

This article discusses briefly many of the areas that are too dangerous to travel in, and its a shockingly large amount of the country. Almost the entire border of Lebanon, and much of its interior is deemed too unsafe to travel.

I think this is sad to see, and must be extremely scary for the residents who live in Lebanon. Seeing how dangerous it is to travel there makes me almost positive that I will put off future travel plans to this area until it is safe enough to visit.

A beautiful cathedral that stands in Venice, Italy. over 8000 square meters of mosaics and domes. It originally was a private chapel, but became Venice's capital in 1807. There is no fee to visit and see the cathedral, although a modest dress code is enforced. 

The Basilica di San Marco is definitely a place I would like to visit the next time I'm in Italy, if I get the chance to go to Venice. It's beautiful layout that awes many a tourist.

Only 1.1% of the world population is German, yet 48% of the mid sized world market leaders come from Germany. They have created nearly 1.5 million more jobs, grown by over 10% per year on average, and register nearly 5 times as many patents per employee as large corporations. Other industrialized countries, such as The U.S. and England only account for about half these numbers. 

I think that this is an incredible feat for the country of Germany. To be able to create such a strong economy and create so many jobs for its citizens, as well as containing such a large amount of "Hidden Champions" which are very specific business conditions makes it very beneficial for the country as a whole.

Italy has a vast difference in its geography, ranging from the mountainous northern regions that is bordered by the countries of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia, and extended farther south to the Mediterranean which encompasses islands of Sicily and Sardinia, which are the two largest islands in the Mediterranean. Inside of Italy Resides the City of Rome, which has been a prominent capital in all of Western History, which also happens to house the capital of the Roman Catholic Religion, The Vatican. 

Italy is a beautiful country that I would love to get the opportunity to explore more. I was only able to visit Rome in my brief visit, and also the Vatican. I would love to be able to explore both sides of Italy, the mountainous north as well as the islands in the South.

Poland is located at a geographic crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe, between forested lands of the northeast and oceanic regions in the south. Poland has prospered as well as fallen on extremely hard times such as the case was during WWII. It's ability to rebound after desctruction is an important quality of the country as well as a celebrated prospect of its citizens. 

Poland has gone through much turmoil throughout its history, while at the same time maintaining a strong sense of culture from its citizens. It's ability to rebound in the face of crisis is definitely something to aspire to be as they continue to rebuild and push forward into the future.

German Engineering countinues to be a leader in the field. A majority of Businesses in the field are considered small or medium size, yet this does not hamper there over all success. German engineering is something to be modeled after as they have continuously shown inovation indicative of a world leader. 

German engineering is incredible, for example there cars are sought after world wide. If they weren't known for their incredible engineering, I doubt that their vehicles would be as far reaching as they currently are.

There are many foods that have been inspired by the country of Italy. One of the most influential is the pizza. When you think about Italy, one of the first foods that comes to mind is undoubtably pizza or pasta, and they are known for both. They have created two distinct types of pizza, Neapolitan style, and Roman style pizza. Many pizzas in the U.S. have created a happy medium between the two.

Pizza is one of my absolute favorite foods to eat, so on my visit to Italy I tried as many different pizza places I could, and they were all wonderful. I think that exploring a countries food is an important part of its culture and must be celebrated correctly when visiting.
