I really enjoyed living and working in Barcelona, where I moved to in 1999, and stayed for six years. That was an exciting time for Spain because the country was about to become integrated into the European Union. Most Spaniards believed that the European Union could protect its citizens from the downside of globalization. The majority of Spaniards accepted that increasing global, political and cultural exchange could enrich their lives, but there were plenty of benefits to being a part of the European Union: from promoting social harmony, to being a cohesive economic and political block, having freedom of movement with no borders, a single currency, and bringing peace and stability to Europe.
