scenes of the daily life

story how i hitchhiked to berlin 25 years ago to see the wall fall :
























9 nov. i saw this on tv at 's gravelandseplein, amsterdam-east


























i wanted to be there,so the next day i started hitchhiking to berlin, at about 12.00 i got a ride from a journalist who wanted to see the wall fall (i'm still friends with her), in the night we entered the ddr, passing an endless row of trabants* , going towards west-germany...











*east german car, quite square and leaving a trail of smoke puffs, very like how children draw cars 

































at 02.00 or so reaching berlin. we wanted to eat something,but we only found an underground 
club. so we drank something and danced till the weewee hours and in the early morning saw the wall (fall)...








































then we had breakfast at the kurfürstendamm, among a crowd of eastgerman people. and then we left,ofcause i left a sign on the falling wall..
(at  about 00.00. i was home again)
