Frankfurters. Hamburgers, and bonners | Manila Bulletin: "German Chancellor Angela Merkel celebrated a 'Pan European Picnic' with Hungarian President Lazlo Solym this month to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hungary's decision to allow East GermanS to walk across to the West unhindered by border patrols. That decision would be the beginning of the end of the Iron Curtain and would lead to the crack of the Berlin Wall.

Hungarians were first to seize the capitalist opportunity and market strips of the barbed wire marked 'Souvenir of the Iton Curtain.' Germans would follow suit with chips of the Berlin Wall."
