The Berlin Wall Anniversary

This November 9^th the 20^th anniversary of the Berlin Wall fall will be celebrated, and all the German people are expecting a great celebration, the Wall divided Berlin for more than 28 years so after it was down, the Germans could reunite with family and friends. The celebrations included a U2 concert in the Brandenburg Gate which was one of the 12 gates the t West Germany controlled very strictly. The concert given by U2 in an open space was polemic because the people who were in charge of the event decided to put a metal wall to avoid the people without ticket any visual observation of the concert, a wall was built to prevent people without tickets to come in and watch the  U2 concert celebrating the falling of the wall, ironic isn’t it? These kind of events should have been public and free in order for us to focus on the real important facts we are celebrating don’t you think?
