‘So Similar, So Different’

‘So Similar, So Different’

Every time I go to the movie theater with my friends they bring out this commercial to promote Southeast Europe and their goal to join the EU. It’s a wonderful commercial and what it says is so true!! Eastern Europe feels like a completely different continent, yet European history screams throughout these nations as well. I love my European roots for this exact reason. We are so diverse, so different, yet everywhere I go I can see and feel a similarity that connects Europeans like only us Europeans can do. Today, for a change, I’m proud to be European!

I might be one of the first as many Dutch believe we should focus inside our borders more than we should on Europe. Whatever, I don’t care. Look at this commercial and tell me what you see! If you’ve lived in Europe for even a small while I think you know exactly what I mean! Such different cultures, yet so many connections. Once the euro crisis is over, our future looks bright!

Ow and to the people in the European Union board, let these countries in! I’ve experienced so many good things from having other Eastern European countries join, you shouldn’t cut them short!

  1. As we say in Southeast Asia, it’s same same but different!

    • I think it has something to do with it being ‘southeast’ and all :P You know, because it’s not North and it’s not West! *Made no sense*

  2. It reminds me of my Thailand and Cambodia trip. They keep on saying Same Same whenever I mention that I am Filipino :D

    But yeah, it is hard to pinpoint which European country is which when you only base on pictures. So European everything! :P

    Can’t wait to explore Europe :D

    • You’ll love it here! And yeah I always have to punch out the ‘Malaysia and Thailand is the same’ mentality :P Nowadays I always respond with ‘Of course, because Holland and Germany are also exactly the same’ xD

  3. I love the video especialy the time-lapse part. Each place has its own uniqueness but the character of the people in the place will always stand out.

  4. I totally agree! My husband is from Hungary, which is in Middle-Eastern Europe, and he says, that there are many ethnical and cultural differences, but the european spirit appears everywhere. In the architecture, in the culture and languages as well.

    • Your husband is absolutely right! :)

  5. I think that what you published was very logical. But, what about this? suppose you added a little content? I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid., but what if you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean ‘So Similar, So Different’ | The Riding Dutchman is a little vanilla. You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write news headlines to get people to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.

  6. No where in the Bible (which are the words spoken by the most high God) does it say anything about the American Dream or about Women & Blacks.
