Right now they are broadcasting a huge concert on MTV, which takes place in Berlin. 18 years ago on November, 9th the Berlin wall fell and one year later on October, 3rd Germany was united. Unfortunately we still have many problems and people from former GDR and federal republic are ( Read more... )

I remember when the Berlin Wall finally came down. *nod* Not terribly well, since it was a long time ago, but... ^_~ I didn't realize it was a national holiday there... Anyway. ^_^

Hey, sorry for answering so late. I hope you enjoy your time in Passau. I think you´ve already found some places to go to, there are a lot of them ^_^ Eh and what do you mean by organising a flash mob? o_O Maybe we´ll meet at university sometime, it would be interesting since I am studying Russian language. Ты откуда из России? Я жила в Питере 3 месяца в 2005-ом году.

loved the history lesson ^^
My bf is german, and I didn't know this, so thank you!!

Oh, I´m glad you liked this (^_^) Where exactly from Germany is your bf from? And do you speak a little German by chance? XD It´s always nice to know that some of my rambling here raises a little interest :3 *adds you to friends* <3

yay! I don't know why I didn't add you when you wrote those wonderful fanfics about fruits ;) I think I was afraid of bothering manikineko-sama
He was born in Lübecke (westfalia), hope it's spelt that way. I studied a bit of german a couple of years ago, and now I'm studying norwegian, which looks kinda similar, ne?
You live south, ne? but are you originally from that region?

manikineko-sama? XD You are exaggerating (^_~) I´m glad you liked my fanfics, though <3
So your bf comes from that region, where 2/3 of the Germans come from (^_~) I am living in the southeast directly at the Austrian border but I am originally from Thuringia, which is pretty much directly in the middle of Germany. I´ve been to Norway three times, it´s a wonderful country! Their language also is very nice, but I can only speak some single words. Norwegian and German really resemble each other a bit.
