  • So, I’m from East Germany and was still a small child when the wall came down. When I went to West Berlin for the first time in my life with my parents just days after the borders were opened we went into a big shopping mall. There I was flabbergasted at the variety of sheer stuff to buy and just stood there with an open mouth. An older woman saw me, approached me and asked me if I was “from the East”. I could only nod looking up at her. Then she gave me twenty D-Mark and told me to buy something nice for myself.
