There are rich and poor people everywhere, don't forget that. Greece is not as rich as Sweden, ok, but it's one hundred times richer than Nigeria. Greece is a EU country, isn't it? In EU, there is a computer and internet almost every home, but in Africa only 10% people have basic things such as electricity, water and phone. I heard that even in some countries in the Balkans there wasn't even real roads and people were still drinking milk from their own cows and goats...Maybe you are from one of these countries ?
