yes indeed! The 80's were crazy. Visiting Germany as a teen then left such an impression that I dreamed of living here. I'm delighted that a year ago a finally realised that lifelong dream and moved here.
Great piece. I was in Berlin a month after the wall came down in '89. It left a marked impression on me. I have returned several times but always remember the way I first saw it - grey uniform buildings and uniformed police with machine guns at every corner.
What a time it must have been to be alive Chris. I saw a great documentary on the period, would love to have been there for it - lawless and free, one imagines in the west.

Excellent, congrats Chris. I was in Berlin 3 years, loved my time there - a very freeing place.

“No memory required weekend parties.” Well said ;)
Thank you Livio - you know ;)
Berlin sounds much like what I've heard about Amsterdam, sans the used syringes on nearly every sidewalk.
lol - there's a bit of that in every city no doubt.
