Continuing our journey to learn something new, our next stop is the ancient business, political, and legal center of Athens known as the Agora where you will meet two wise men: Socrates and Confucius.
The monument was a gift from the Chinese government to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2021. These two wise men who actually lived in different centuries continue to inspire us today. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from both.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” – Socrates
“Study the past, if you would divine the future.” - Confucius
