The Berlin Wall collapsed...

And you...
... what were you doing when the shame fell apart ?

Please, comment back !
As in my life everything - in some way, is
related to music, I was listening to Albert
Mangelsdorff's trombone when my radio
announced that the Berlin wall was being
pulled down.
I phoned some friends in Berlin, but there
was no answer...
Out they ran, all of them... Gabi included !
18 jahren schon !

"I had rushed to the press conference, presuming that everybody was
informed and prepared for the opening of the border".
(Guenter Schabowski).

HALLOWEEN...

TERRIFYING, uh ?

This year Spiderman was very trendy.

I've cought this one through the bus window
somewhere on avenue des Gobelins.

Today also was WELTSPARTAG in Germany,
LA FESTA DEL RISPARMIO in Italy,
and so on in the whole Europe... except in France !

Burma breaking News...

Myanmar Monks peacefully protest again in
Pakoukku Town, near Mandalay.
It was the same town where protests started
and sparked the nation wide protests.


About 200 monks peacefully marched and
chanted in the morning today.
