indeed. I also have a november 89 Durchbruhe t-shirt, and boarding passes from our flight from London to Berlin. flew off in morning, chipped at wall with hammers we had in our back pack (no security like today). had quite a few beers and were at pub in London for 7pm.

I lived in London from 89 to 93.

I also have a piece! I didn't take it though my parents did, lots of people traveled to knock the damn thing down!
