Towel
Towel.. it is very simple stuff in our house, but I think it is necessary and useful in daily life. Maybe we didn’t notice and didn’t appreciate, but life without towel would be difficult.

Motorcycle
If you have ever been to Greece or especially to a greek island, one of the first things, you will have noticed, is that in Greece, there are many, many motorcycles. On the greek island spetses for example, it goes so far, that people are not allowed to drive anything else than the motorcycle. And, quite frankly, the motorcycle is on greek streets much more suitable than the car. But only the fewest people know where the motorcycle was actually invented.
