just to let you know

By the end of May 2004, it will be almost exactly 19 years since the last time I visited Berlin.

Back in 1985, I saw a city that was still divided. I saw the wall, "den Osten" (the East - as we call it) and I saw lots of people who seemed to talk the same language as me but nonetheless were very different. It was a big encounter with history for a then 15 year old like me. Altogether, the trip left a lasting impression.

This time, I'll go over to see my home town football team play the German FA (DFB) Cup. It's one of the biggest achievements in club history and I'm more than proud to be part of it.

On this blog, I will cover everything that happens before, during and after my Berlin 2004 journey. To make it easier for my readers, all my Berlin reports will have the same unique look as this first little intro.

I hope you enjoy the reports as much as I will surely do !
