I come from a city located at the European Union's eastern border, perhaps the largest cultural city on the eastern border, just 10 km from the border. However, I have also been to Santiago de Compostela, which is virtually on the European Union's western border - two cultural centres with very many things in common, but also with very many differences between them.
Eu vin dintr-un oraș aflat la granița de est a Uniunii Europene, poate cel mai mare oraș cultural la granița de est, la doar 10 km de graniță, dar am fost și în Santiago de Compostela, practic la granița de vest a Uniunii Europene - două centre culturale care au foarte multe lucruri în comun dar, de asemenea, foarte multe lucruri care le diferențiază.
