In Austria here. *raises mug of green tea*

A while ago I was speaking with a Finnish friend that's a decade younger than me and was quite surprised when she said she finds it odd when she's reminded that the wall once existed. I always find it odd to be reminded that it's no longer there.

I do have memories of seeing it fall on TV, but they're not very clear. Counting back now that was the worst of my school years when I was completely convinced I was going to fail Latin. I guess I was too busy contemplating suicide to care much about world changing events ... Seems so silly now.

Was it good for the world in the end? I don't know. I wonder how the East Germans think about it now.

In German you'd pronounce it co-oes ö standing for pronounciation as diphtong oe.

I thought it was old news that teenage girls tend to develop faster than teenage boys and therefore start dating sooner. So yes, it's the logical conclusion that they'd be dating older boys, but I don't see how that's news.

# 4 "Ich weiß von ..." does exist, but would mean "I know via (enter name of person)". If talking about knowledge about a topic, you'd use "Ich weiß über .." , but there's "Ich weiß nichts von ..." which means "I don't know of (a change of plans/a rule/an event)".
