It won't be long before the Athens Olympics, and it seems timely to investigate trade opportunities with Greece. So, in this issue I have a portal to everything you need to know about doing business in Greece. Next, I profile a site that has a master calendar with dates for just about everything important that's happening in the world during the year. I also found a site where you can set up an account with all your medical information, for easy access in case of emergency when you're traveling. Finally, I have a portal to international legal information, which is indispensable if you're doing business in other countries. If you'd like more information about international trade, go to FITA's International Trade/ Import-Export Portal
GREECE -- OUR FEATURED COUNTRY SITE
The country of Greece is certainly not a newcomer to world trade. Greece was one of the trading hubs of the ancient world, and it still depends on trade to bring it the products it needs. Greece imported nearly US $32 billion in 2002, and there are a lot of opportunities for savvy traders, especially with the Athens Olympics coming up. If you'd like to learn more about trade with Greece, go to the Greece page at the University of Kansas

If you want to know when the Buddha's birthday is celebrated in South Korea, or when the Royal Windsor Horse Show is, or even when the next Sundance Film Festival is, there are many places online where you can find that information. Now, however, there's one site that has all that information and more. DateDex
MEDJET ASSISTANCE: PEACE OF MIND WHEN TRAVELERS NEED IT MOST
A medical doctor from West Virginia was on vacation with his wife in Rome recently when they had an extreme medical emergency. As MEDJET Assistance members, they made a collect call to the 24 hour hotline and received quick assistance.
They wrote, "My wife and I wish to express our deep appreciation for your rapid and professional response to our medical emergency in Rome. We were amazed at how you took care of the most minute detail and made it possible for us to return to medical care in the States as quickly as possible. When we tell people about our experience and how expertly you handled our return to the United States they cannot believe that this could be done so expertly and efficiently."
MEDJET Assistance is an annual membership program for U.S-based travelers providing air medical transportation to its members should they become hospitalized due to accident or illness virtually anywhere in the world. The program transports members, free of charge, to the hospital of their choice, most often in medically equipped and staffed jets. Click on www.fita.org/travel/medjetdescript.htm
