These days its not only ceremonies for 9/11, but celebrating German reunification as well. In these days of the year, but 20 years back, some things had started to slide into a moving that changed the face of Europe once again, and the face of all the world. what began with some individual'S and families desperate stories of dramatic escape and hide-and-seek in hungarian meadows, led to a revolution in which not a single shot was fired and that ended with the end of the cold war and the end of the most threatening military standoff history knows.

And some people were horrified.

Two more years, and I can say that I spend one half of my life in a split country, and one half of my life in a united country. and in three years and later, I will have lived in a united country for longer time than I ever had lived in a split country.
