One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Even though I was just a kid with a small hammer in my hand, I was lucky to participate in taring down the old Berlin Wall. It was just a very small piece of the wall, but it was such a big experience.

The most amazing places I've been must be Iceland; Olkhon Island on Lake Baikal, Siberia; and Copenhagen in summer time, of course..
