First week in Paris!!!! Did a lot, learned a lot!

Dr. Jean-Louis Burban was the first teacher of the program, he taught us about European history since world war 1 and how the European union was created.

He is very enthusiastic in the way he teaches which makes it very easy to understand, follow and pay full attention.

I find very interesting how 28 countries found a way to work together and make this union work, of course it was and continuous to be difficult because there are rules the countries have to follow, treatys, conventions, a constitution, and also the standarization of the coin, a few years ago, every country had a different coin, Spain had the peseta, France had the franc, Italy the lira, Germany the marco and so on.
It wasn't until 2002 when the European union decided to create only one, and in that time, only 8 countries were part of the E.U.

One of the things I like about this European Union is that no matter which country you're from, as long as you stay inside the E.U. and as long as you know the basics of the local lenguage, you can travel, move or work anywhere without any questions asked.

I think that the reason why this union works is because they follow the rules, the countries grow because they know what's important, like education, health, etc. they keep their country healthy and happy, and that's why more countries wants to join it.

Also, I think that the European Union is a role model to every other country, and the example that there can be peace and growth between different governments.
