I have three favorite countries such as Italian, Saudi Arabia and Greece. This three countries represents passion, beliefs and myth. In my university have many different countries students, so if I want know different counties that is a easy thing. From the book I found some interesting things about those three countries.
Why I love Italian? Because Italian soccer is my favorite. When I was young I like Italian soccer, Italian soccer let me know sports passion, This is one of my yearning countries. "Soccer in Italy is more than just a game, it’s a passion. (If you’re thinking that Italians treat everything with passion – from food to wine to cars to fashion – you’re right. It’s one of Italy’s charms. Really.) People are fiercely loyal to their local soccer club, and that loyalty is only put on hold when the Italian national team is playing. For sports fans, seeing a soccer game in Italy is an important part of getting to know the culture; and even for people who are only marginally interested in soccer, it can be a great experience."(1). If I have the opportunity, I will have to go to an Italian.
Second, I want talk about Saudi Arabia, because they adhere to the faith, I'm very admire. We know all Saudi Arabian are Islamic believers and Them to comply with religious rules strictly cautious. "During the holy month of Ramadan all Muslims must fast from dawn to dusk and are only permitted to work six hours per day. Fasting includes no eating, drinking, cigarette smoking, or gum chewing. Expatriates are not required to fast; however, they must not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum in public.Each night at sunset, families and friends gather together to celebrate the breaking of the fast (iftar). The festivities often continue well into the night. In general, things happen more slowly during Ramadan. Many businesses operate on a reduced schedule. Shops may be open and closed at unusual times."(2). In my country we don't have any faith, I think this is a very bad thing.
Final, I want introduction why I love Greece. In simple terms is Greek mythology deeply attracted me. No matter books or movies, as long as it is about Greek mythology, I like it very much. "At the center of Greek mythology is the pantheon of deities who were said to live on Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. From their perch, they ruled every aspect of human life. Olympian gods and goddesses looked like men and women (though they could change themselves into animals and other things) and were--as many myths recounted--vulnerable to human foibles and passions. The twelve main Olympians are:
l Zeus (Jupiter, in Roman mythology): the king of all the gods (and father to many) and god of weather, law and fate
l Hera (Juno): the queen of the gods and goddess of women and marriage
l Aphrodite (Venus): goddess of beauty and love
l Apollo (Apollo): god of prophesy, music and poetry and knowledge
l Ares (Mars): god of war
l Artemis (Diana): goddess of hunting, animals and childbirth
l Athena (Minerva): goddess of wisdom and defense
l Demeter (Ceres): goddess of agriculture and grain"(3).
A beautiful myth countries makes me revel. Although myth does not exist, but this beautiful country equally people yearning.
This three countries all very great, Although I have not been to those three countries but from the books I can know they are interesting. One day in the future, I will go to this three counties and feel the real elegant demeanour.
