Many people in Germany copied the look of German footballers, which was, hard to believe, even bigger in Germany then than it’s now. My dad pretty much lived football, he was a goalie in 2nd Bundesliga at some point and had an offering from 1. FC Köln, he still watches pretty much every single game to this day :D anyway I’m sure that’s where he got his hairstyle from!

I was today years old when I found out that "one" is the plural of photo...
(also pretty sure that's a department store like <X>Mart, not a mall)

They are both the 2 kindest people I know, my dad is always cracking jokes that will make everyone in the family laugh and my mom is pure chaos (in the best way possible :D) and will always help everyone with everything if there is even a broad assumption she can - Me and my wife live super close so we still see each other daily for dinner, I’ve never seen these 2 not laugh and joke around with each other constantly! But no, my dad is also the toughest guy I know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him tear up unless it’s from laughing too much :D And he is also the logical, while my mom is again.. pure chaos!

Ah really! I would have thought Soviet reforms would have allowed western travel before then. The more you know, thanks!

You're talking about the timeframe between November 9, 1989 and October 3, 1990, during which the GDR was unravelling itself very quickly. But before that, there was pretty much no chance for regular East Germans to vacation in the Netherlands.

I don't think it was as difficult towards the end of the 80s post Berlin wall collapse

Would also be pretty impossible for them to leave East Germany and go to a western country

Knowing Germans, I bet your dad's a fluff machine that tears up easily. And your mom probably is logical. Like Martina.

I think I had your Dad’s hair back when I was in high school in the 80’s.
