ORIGINAL: Charnegui I admit I clearly remember the revolt in Berlin as it was on my weddingday september 8, 1989. I admit I wish you so much fun Phoenix Thank you Charnegui I am looking forward to meeting him even when it might become pretty intense, IF he is one of the fewer guys who isn't just doing the talk but also the walk I admit my memory from that time is a bit blurred, as it was blurred when it happened I admit I do remember that I was wondering at school where all those "new" kids are coming from into our classes and WTF are they doing such a big deal out of them....and what's that for an accent I admit, as I was just 11 I wasn't watching news as such at that age and that was never topic at home either, so I had no idea what was going on when people started to come to the west. I admit, as it was topic at school in that very same year it also took place JUST before we would have known about it from school... I admit it did hit me later then, when I realised we have family over there (grandparents managed to cross a street to the west, seperately in different areas, each with two of their kids at that time, when they weren't supposed to cross that anymore and so were able to live in the west. Grandmas sister on the other hand remained in the east with her children) and then slowly understood more and more from that part of history when we visited the remaining family there easter 1990. I admit this january the majority of the family in east Germany attended mums birthday (even grandmas sister in her 80s took the long journey with her kids and grand kids and great grand kid) which made me feel proud again, that this damn wall didn't survive forever, and I will never give up hope that other walls in other countries will come down too, at some point I admit I better get going now as I have a shit load to do before I am leaving tomorrow
