I felt it on the radio :) That is as a teenager I used to travel every year
a couple of times to Eastern Europe, before the wall came down - mainly to
Hungary, but also East Germany, and when on the Friday I heard the news I
drove over with 5 friends, and 3 passports to Berlin. So I was more of a
spectator - but got something of the spirit of the event. I live in London
now - but often go to Berlin and other parts of Germany to visit friends.
