I came back from bleek dark November-Finland to an even rainier and colder Berlin. Yet, I love this city more than ever.
Although you've probably seen these guys on the news already:
20 years ago:
Today:
The great men and women include our own little Finnish president (Tarja Halonen, on the right side of Hilary Clinton), who just makes most people go like "awwww" 'cos she's so sweet, humble and as Finnish as possible:
Two great men.
I would've preferred Gorby to be followed by David Hasselhof, though. I hear he's said in his biography (not that I've read it) that he launched the fall of the wall, when he sang I've been looking for freedom on Alexanderplatz, but I was recently given different information. Gotta love that hairy chested superhero, never mind the rumors. The best that Jon Bongiovi has had to offer lately has been a song that sounds exactly like everything else and is called Have a nice day??!!!. My friend Tuomas would call that "the crappiest crap I've ever heard".
Handsome Italian dudes singing a pretty song makes the crowd wet themselves:
Happy b-day pretty city! I love you and I wont stop posting in your honor.
I'll soon compile a post for you from how I've seen this city throughout the last 12 years. I was a little girl when I first came to visit my big sis in the real world, and rapidly it became my other home... stay tuned. Love Maiju

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong! David Hasselhoff was at the Berlin Wall for New Year's Eve 1989! So after the whole show was already over... He's such a cheat!!!
But still, we Germans will always love him... Long live the Hoff! ;)
I don't know, if you have the I <3 The Hoff Super Fantastic Activity Fun Book yet, so here's the link:

Thought you might appreciate it. Gotta love the Hoff!
We didn't want to drag the kids to the festivities, so we watched the whole show on the telly sitting on sheep skins and drinking hot tea... but honestly I all the time had the feeling "scheisse, I should be standing there in the rain too...". Anyway, just wanted to say, that I'm really looking forward to your next post!
L: OK, I've now cleared it out from the Hoff himself, I'll soon post a little vid where he both was on the charts 2-3 months before the fall, and sang it afterwards at the ruins :) Sorry for mixing the rumours. Gotta love the guy!
Piritta: AWESOME BOOK! thank you, dear!
Meri: Oh, how sweet and faithful you are! Hope you like it, ur in most of the pics!! :)
