Europe Unite!
Not to miss out on a still historic event even though there was not a lot of buzz around it. So just a brief update on the expansion of the Schengen Area. From Dec 21 2007 there were no border controls at overland borders and seaports any more to go to any of the following countries coming from within another Schengen country: Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Slovenia. But please note that only from March 29 2008 the border controls will fall at the airports of these countries!
If you have some time here you find an interesting article specifically about the german-polish boarder in this context. All this is a really great evolution, the old wounds from history are getting more and more healed the closer we get to each other. European people unite - the doors are wide open!
