I’m home in Paris. Here is no snow and bit warmer than Zurich.
It’s just takes about 1 hour and half from Zurich to Paris by plane. For me it’s strange just 1 hour and half I can get other countries!! I just thought only 1 hour and half we can’t get Hokkaido (north island of Japan) from Nagoya (center of Japan)!! The European continent is really jammed with many countries. It’s sooo easy to cross a border into an other country. Especially near the border I can see mixed culture, language and so on. It’s one of the reasons which attracts me to Europe.
I just wonder before EU was set up, people who lived in very near the border and the nearest supermarket was just over the border. They needed show their passport everytime to go there?! Maybe this question sounds stupid to European people, but for me it’s interesting. Because I’m from island country damon!!
