I am glad we are united, though we have to work on the intregration of our minds still, but Germany is now what it should be.
When I was a kid of 6 years old I ask my best friend, who lived next door, why her grandma would never visit her. She told me, her grandma wasn`t allowed to travel out of the DDR and they dont have pantyhoses so they would always send them boxes with lots of gifts like coffee and all that.
I couldn`t really believe it. I was raised in the "West" and we didn`t had any relations in East Germany. She then told me about how her grandma lived in the DDR and that they sometimes visit them. This picture comes into my head all the time I think of Germany was parted into two halfs... two little girls sitting on a garbage bin and talking about East and West Germany.
I remember this, and being in Berlin when the wall came down actually. I was much younger (how the years fly by!) but I recall it, and my dad still keeps his pieces of the wall in the house from that day.
ReplyDeleteI have no piece of the wall and sadly enough I have never been in the DDR before the wall fell. But Berlin has a lot of museum I want to visit soon.
ReplyDeleteI did go to the DDR before the wall fell, once, and then after..it was really a sort of eye opener both times.
