Usatora izvi nenzira isiri iyo, America, asi pane mumwe munhu munyika yako ane geography O-level kuzita ravo here? Ikoku kungava kushamisika kuhama dzedu dzapashure kweAtlantic asi Girisi ine zvitsuwa zvinopfuura chimwe mubasa rayo - chaizvoizvo kune zvinopfuura 6.000, zvizhinji zvacho zvisingagarwi. Nhamba yezvitsuwa zvinogarwa inoverengwa pachinhu chipi nechipi kubva pa166 kusvika ku227 (zvichienderana nerondedzero ye'inogarwa' ndinofungidzira). Chitarisiko chemvura yebhuruu yeLourdas Bay, Kefalonia, chitsuwa chinoshamisa chechiGiriki chisina kusvibiswa navanhu. Ndinowanzoshamisika kuti nei Girisi isingagadzirisi zvinetso zvayo zvemari nokutengesa zvimwe zvezvinhu zvayo zvinokosha zveMediterranean - nyika imwe inoda zvitsuwa zvisingagarwi zvakadini chaizvoizvo? Pazvitsuwa zvikuru zvitanhatu zveGirisi, kunyange vaAmerica vachaziva zviviri: Krete - chikuru - neRhodes (chechina chikuru).
