Metropolitan Museum As I walked into the museum I personally was not too thrilled about it, I felt as if I wouldn’t be amused by anything there. I was wrong.

Immigration Experience HIS/125 My Home in Italy was becoming hard to live in, especially with the news of the opportunity that existed in America; I had seen a poster that was created by the railroad and steamship companies that portrayed this method of travel as the most affordable way to travel.

On the other hand, renaissance stressed the significance of the

Overall Eurozone in comparison to the Geek Financial Crisis The Greek economy is worth about $200 billion dollars, which represents a mere 2% of the entire Eurozone.

Their actions were shortsighted in the face of a serious financial problem and disregarded recommended

It has certainly not been an easy journey, but I would not change my decision. I left the southern region of Italy because of the agricultural crisis.

The meals were
