The EU

From what I gathered, the people are really supportive of the European Union and the things it is doing to unite the member states. I think they have noticed the good changes it has brought about, especially the peace, and they respect what is represents. Everyone I talked to said they felt the EU would only grow stronger and are excited for it's movements towards a superpower. They like the Euro, although some say it was a little different to adjust to. One person commented on the ease of travelling between countries and not having to worry about border customs or currency changes. Most people felt impartial or very negative towards the Turkish accession. The younger people didn't care too much, but the adults were pretty vocal about it not happening. It seemed like the people in Switzerland were also supportive of the EU and what it represented. I didn't notice a difference between demographics, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
