Question for Fiona and/or other German-gebildet folks: when you think of the reunification (East and West Germany), what kind of known pictures/images comes to mind?
(Links would be very good).
Thank you!
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Shir, if you enter "German Unification Brandenburg Gate" in Google Images you get a lot of the pictures which spring to mind instantly for me. There are the shots of fireworks behind the gate or the wall coming down with East German soldiers standing behind it.
Gosh, twenty years....

Oh, back to civilization and the world that sometimes-when-there-are-no-malfunctions has internet-connection and can-communicate-with-the-actual-world!
And just in time, board-time (though not her time, sadly) to slide through and wish Fiona a happy birthday (or, her time, second-day-of-her-new-age), and a wonderful year!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Happy Birthday, Fee!!!!
