Happy German Unification

I still haven't made it to Berlin, but I plan to go someday.

My German relatives were commenting recently about the state of roads in formerly West Germany. It seems there is a bit of resentment that so much infrastructure money was poured into former East Germany and now most of the people there have moved west where the jobs are. The expected economic surge of jobs moving into eastern Germany didn't happen.

That said, I am glad that the oppressive regime is gone and look forward to seeing a unified Berlin someday.
