You must be of a certain age to answer this question; I am.
Have you ever stood by the Berlin Wall, when it was a wall? Crossed it, as free as a bird, when others died to do so? Then you might understand this ditty and Lou Reed's Berlin.
Sorry to be so heavy.

No but when I was younger I left the sanctuary of Great Yarmouth in Norolk and travelled across the border to Lowestoft in Suffolk on a BMX bike and sneaked into Pleasurewood Hills American Theme park.
Talk about taking a risk in life,if my mum would have found out I would have got a clip round the ear,needless to say she doesn't know to this day and when I got home we had Birdseye fish fingers and waffles,i miss waffles but over the years I've had plenty of fishy fingers.

I was in Germany when the Berlin Wall fell - I didn't have a TV so I missed a lot of the live coverage.
Live to me was watching the stream of Trabants pouring into my town, and seeing East German's burst into tears when the saw how well stocked our shops were.

You seem to not remember a very funny part of the Trabbi time when they "made over" to the West.
At all sex shops in West Berlin were people in long lines ( they're used to wait for "something special", just to get into a sex shop to get some good vibes.
And all the East German numbnuts received a so-called Begruessungsgeld ( Hello money) in form of 150 German Mark. It later turned out that they paid 20 or 30 million too much because some of them used different ID's.
In the beginning I visited East Germany were mostly Dutch cheeseheads bought all their old furniture for an apple and an egg.
WE stopped at a house and an old woman offered us an Antik piece, one of the finest for 20 Mark. We bought the bug and heavy thing threw it on our transporter and brought it home.It turned out that the thing was worth 4,000 West German Marks.
The Dutch really plundered East Germany, you could see thousands of them with trailers bringing their almost free stuff home. But the cheese got more and more expensive.
I could get thrice or more for one East German Mark, or was it five times more? Most East Germans had a lot of money because they couldn't buy anything. A <duck>ed up politician then made the decision that they could exchange 1 to 1 and many of them became millionaires.
BTW Blether, how did they react when they heard you speaking? Or was it mumbling......( I'm kidding) Best Regards from the capital city Sisaket....

The one to one exchange is a fairy tale...just 4000 ddr mark could be exchanged 1 to 1 the rest 1:2 and to be proud of to rip off people who are gullible due of missing alternatives/ knowledge seems not to be a great character feature.... |

How many times could they exchange 4,000 K?
Where did I write that i was proud to rip others ioff? I never ripped people off in my life. A woman sold a piece of furniture to a guy who took me to East Germany.
She's actually planning to use the wood to make a fire, because it was winter.
Sorry, but you can't give me such a basket that I'm a rip-off guy. BTW, I've already reported you to metisdead.... ???
