20 years ago…

I was 20 years old, Black Box were number one with Ride on Time and we just recently had cable TV installed at our house. I remember watching the news on the evening that the wall was breached, and realising that something really momentous was happening. The morning after, I watched the coverage in awe at the change in Europe.

Since then – I’ve travelled to Moscow and made good friends, and when I walked across Red Square with an American, we both remarked at how this would have been unthinkable before the fall of Communism and the changes in Europe.

This amazing article at the NYT has some interactive pictures that you can see before and after shots of landmarks in Berlin. The BBC also has great coverage.

What were you doing when the Berlin Wall fell?
