The article, you posted is 3rd October 2004 is not the date and year of the wall Berlin pulled down.

What your hubby said is incorrect... it´s not on same time as wall berlin pulled down but few years later.

Yes, we were VERY thrilled and excited for to welcome/greet East Germans on the same day the wall Berlin pulled down. We were there... and excited for them... each other... each other... each other.

Around few months later after Berlin Wall pulled down, that West Germans feel being let down by East Germans for demand everything in once from German Government to build everything in Eastern Germany... West Germans have no problem to see improve in East Germany but should take time to few years to improve, not everything in once... West Germans often said "take time and patience then their land will be improve few years later". East Germans ignored West Germans to demand everything in once and want more and more...than Government already gave money to them to improve their lifestyle... that´s how Government raised our taxes to spend a lot of money to improve on Eastern Germany real fast... until finanical scandal... money broke... heavy debt... bad eoncomy. It make West Germans furious and feel being unfair because they work hard and take YEARS to re build after WWII.

Yes some West Germans mock East Germans as Ossies... as the same as some East German mock West Germans as "Wessi". Some East Germans wish to have Berlin wall back...
