Comments on: Standing at the Berlin Wall – 20 Years Later http://www.makingthishome.com/2009/11/12/standing-at-the-berlin-wall-20-years-later/ creating a simple, handmade home Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:00:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Katie http://www.makingthishome.com/2009/11/12/standing-at-the-berlin-wall-20-years-later/comment-page-1/#comment-6347 Katie Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:40:05 +0000 http://www.makingthishome.com/?p=5216#comment-6347 Jennifer, good question about the birth rate here. It's actually a really big worry that the country has, from my understanding. My schedule seems to match the schedule of young parents, so I get a lot of exposure to families... which isn't a normal thing to see all over the country by any means. In the evening, parents seem to pick up their kids from the kindergarten and head to the grocery stores. I suspect everyone who doesn't have kids AVOIDS the grocery store around 5:00! The average family has about 1 or 2 kids, and people wait until they're quite older than Americans do to have kids. Hope that answers your questions!

Family seeing family for the first time since the war...it made me think of the Wizard of Oz as Dorothy goes from the black and white of Kansas to all the amazing colors in Oz.
