Building bridges
Today is an important day for Europe:
the number of countries belonging to the Schengen Agreement increased and the external border of the community went eastwards. Yippie, finally free travel between "old" EU-states and the new former Eastern Bloc states.
Since i come from a town that lies on the Austrian (Salzburg) bank of a river that seperated us from Germany, i have been always sensitive for borders. I think, borders should be bridged since they were set up always by someone that didn't think about the people living on each side of the border balk. But even worse are boundaries inside people's mind and i hope that this enlargement of the Schengen area will add to people's openmindedness...

Hi, ich hab Deine Mail Addy leider nicht, daher auf diesem Weg DANKE für die Runrig-CD. Total cool! Wünsch Dir auch schöne Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch!! :o))
What a milestone in history *lol* I am sure not everybody is pleased about it though. I have seen reports about people living close to the border of Poland or other Eastern bloc countries but I quite like it ;-)
Yes, i think cultural and social exchange has already taken place long before this day, so it is only a logical step to remove the boundaries.
Grissy, you're very welcome! ;D
lets hope it works then, aye? ;-)
