EURO 2012

Semenjak berkahwin ni saya lebih mengenali dan memahami dunia bola sepak. Why? kerana encik suamiku begitu meminati bola tapi tak de lah taksub sangat setiap saat tengok bola..dan sekarang saya turut mengenali beberapa pemain bola...

Memandangkan sekarang demam euro bagi tahun 2012, saya nak berceloteh sikit pasal eropah ni. Yer la mana tahu masa belajar dulu korang fail geografi..ada kawan adik cakap 'aku sokong BRAZIL' untuk Euro 2012 kali..erks...

ok..let me explain a little bit about European Union taken from wikipedia.  Kesatuan Eropah @ European Union (EU) adalah satu kesatuan antarabangsa yang dianggotai oleh beberapa negara di Eropah. Sehingga kini EU mempunyai 27 negara ahli dan beberapa negara lagi sedang memohon untuk memasuki EU. EU mengamalkan satu pasaran tunggal melalui dasar perdagangan umum, dan juga Dasar Pertanian/Perikanan Umum, dan Dasar Pembangunan Serantau. Mata wang euro diperkenalkan pada 2004 dan digunakan oleh 17 negara ahlinya (Eurozone)...bab ni aku suka satu matawang untuk beberapa buah negara..kalo korang pegi ke negara-negara ni tak perlu nak tukar duit byk² currency nanti pening plak. Pakai satu jer iaitu euro.

1. Belgium

2. Perancis

The richest countries in the world

Blessed with the third-largest natural gas reserves in the world, Qatar is the world's richest country per capita, latest list by Forbes reveals.

1. Qatar

Qatar has been ranked as the world's richest country per capita in a new list compiled by US-based Forbes magazine. Blessed with the third-largest natural gas reserves in the world, the Arab Gulf emirate of 1.7 million people is benefitting from a rebound in oil prices. Adjusted for purchasing power (PPP), Qatar has an estimated gross domestic product per capita of $88,222.

2. Luxembourg

In second place on the list is Luxembourg, with a per capita GDP on a purchasing-power parity (PPP) basis of $81,466.

 3. Singapore

Technology, manufacturing and finance hub Singapore is ranked third on the list. The country’s GDP (PPP) per capita is $56,694 (estimated from 2009).

 

4 . Norway

To rank the world’s wealthiest countries, Forbes looked at GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power for 182 nations.
At No.4, with a GDP (PPP) per capita of $51,959 (estimated from 2009) is Norway.

5. Brunei

Oil-rich Brunei (ranked at No.5) has a GDP (PPP) per capita of $48,333.
Forbes used International Monetary Fund data from 2010, the most recent available, while GDP figures for some countries were projections.

 6. United Arab Emirates

UAE oil reserves are ranked as the world's sixth-largest[ and it possesses one of the most developed economies in West Asia. The country’s GDP (PPP) per capita is $47,439 (estimated from 2009).

 

7.  United States of America

With a GDP (PPP) per capita of $46,860, US is ranked at No.7 on the Forbes list.

According to Forbes, the PPP-adjusted GDP—preferred by economists when making international comparisons—takes into account the relative cost of living and inflation rates, rather than just exchange rates, which may distort real differences in worth.

8. Hong Kong, China.

Hong Kong is renowned for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. As one of the world's leading international financial centres, Hong Kong has a major capitalist service economy characterised by low taxation and free trade, and the currency, Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong has a GDP (PPP) per capita of $45,944.

Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic product [GDP (PPP) per capita: $41,950]. It also has one of the world's largest account balances as a percentage of GDP.

 10. Netherlands

The Netherlands was one of the world’s first countries to have an elected parliament. And the benefits of democracy seem to be reaching its citizens. Its GDP (PPP) per capita is $40,973.

11. Australia

A highly developed country, Australia is one of the world's largest economies. Australia ranks highly in many international comparisons of national performance, such as quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, and the protection of civil liberties and political rights.
