I don't know, is it really so that there is not much to celebrate now with the 20th anniversary etc.? Or less then people thought there would be back in 1989? It was a rough start to the whole unified Germany with the tough recession in the early 90's and it hasn't really eased much since. A lot of glass and steel constructing in Berlin but the rest of old East-Germany has stagnated.
I wonder if East-Germany today is what the Americans had in mind when they wanted so much to "tear down the walls" etc.

Just to shakeup my memory.... What has Finland past or present done to make the World a better place ?
