Rivarly in Germany & East vs. West Europeans

Many people say that München isn’t in Germ, but this might be only the rivalry speaking. What kind of rivalry? The one between the biggest/most important cities in Germany. In my opinion: the ‘battle for the trophy’ is given between München, Hamburg und Berlin. The Hamburgers say about the Berliners (and other way around) that they are hochnäsig (siehe http://dict.leo.org ;-) ) . The Norddeutscher say about the Süddeutscher (actually only about the Bavarians) that they have their own country. The Bavarians about the North Germans, that they aren’t that important, or was it something else?!

When I think of saying ‘I hope it will be like this also in Romania’ a shy smile appears on a corner of my mouth. The idea, I have to admit, is pretty nice: to have for example not only 1 economical centre of the country as it is now. Cluj (Klausenburg), Sibiu (Hermannstadt), Brashov (Kronstadt) could qualify in some years as good candidates for the job. Who knows?!

Of course there are many other things over which the Germans (')fight('), but they aren’t worth to be mentioned as they don’t differ too much from the ones found in other countries.

One more thing could be said. It's something I've noticed in the past weeks: The most East Europeans go abroad to the West Europe. The West Europeans go also West. In the ocean? neee. To America or to other places far away like Japan, Tanzania, South Africa. (A line in my ToDo list.) The East Europeans go west to study in countries like Germany, France. The germans go west to study in Nederlands or England. The English? In New York, like Sting used to say?
Am I generalizing in some way?
