Germany 20 years after Berlin wall: Eurinfo

For 28 years the Berlin wall did so much more than cut a city in two. It cut the continent, it cut the world... into east, and west, and capitalism versus communism. Cold concrete, steel wire... symbolised cold war, sorrow, and political passion.

The world changed suddenly 20 years ago. It was as if the dividing stones dissolved.

The night the wall tumbled, chip by chip, the ninth of November, Communist Germany's television announcer Günther KUNERT slept badly, shaken. Then, as floodlights and torches gave way to daylight, he joined countless others streaming to see the long-forbidden west.

50% dintre npartea est EURO ingheatza de frig in perioada iernatica. Asta inseamna ca 45% din resursele verii se epuizeaza pe timpul iernii glaciare. (Petroll) :)

@snipski0894 ridiculous argument,europe survived without immigrants for thousands of years.Anyway,they could come,do the "dirty" jobs and then go home,they don't need to permanently immigrate that argument is very very stupid.

@hilletehnoob So who is going to clean the streets or do other less than admirable jobs? I bet you wouldn't want to.
