It’s a strange feeling. East and West Germany are finally looking past the past.
I get a feeling not unlike those days when the Berlin wall fell. Yes, there are still problems. Yes, we still have racists and hooligans. But I’m sensing something new in our national pride – a sense that we are a nation again.
And we have Klinsi to thank.
Who would have believed that?
Here’s a different perspective from an “ausländer” from San Antonio. I apologize to him for the behavior of the drunks: You are welcome to Germany any time, and please don’t judge us by our hooligans!
