A day to remember

Twenty years ago the fall of the Berlin wall signed one of the most important events in recent history. It was the 9th of November 1989. It was the end of socialism. It was the beginning of the modern era. I remember very little from that day. I remember my parents watching TV and trying to explain me what was going on...I remember all this people walking on the wall, but I had not a clue on what all of that was. I didn't understand. I was 11. I had the chance to visit Berlin many years later. Stunning city, where I would like to go back sooner or later. We stayed in this hotel in East Berlin, which was a huge building, a massive concrete block, where the rooms used to be flats for workers in the factories near by. It was quite impressing to think that, to imagine that hotel bedroom what the actual flat where people passed their lives. I have seen what is left of the wall at the East Side Gallery, I saw the Check Point Charlie, and got to know lots of stories about how people tried to escape from est to west. All memories that everybody should have, that today came back fresh to my mind. Today is a day to remember.
