ich bin ein Berliner

"The East German guard asked if we had documents. I handed him my Danish cat's vaccination documents, in Danish. He waved us through."

Andreas Ramos, an eyewitness to the collapse of the Berlin Wall

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change


Winds of Change by The Scorpions

The seeds of a climate change has been planted. It is now up to everyone who's responsible enough to ensure its growth and eventual flowering. If you were there that night, remember your Pledge.

"Tear down this wall, Mr Gorbechov" Ronald Reagan

Even after visiting the official museum and talking to germans, I'm still unclear about why the wall came down. What triggerd it all?
