Excited and expectant, we looked into the future back then! Join us in reminiscing about the first 18 years of life - your childhood and youth! Born in 1976, we experienced a childhood and adolescence between arms races and reunification. We loved Sesame Street, Wetten, dass ..., our go-karts and bicycles. We enjoyed Ed von Schleck ice cream, played outside for hours, and listened to TKKG cassettes in bed at night. As teenagers, we read BRAVO and Popcorn and celebrated parties like in the hit movie La Boum. The fall of the Berlin Wall allowed us to look beyond our borders for the first time. We eagerly anticipated our Interrail trip and getting our driver's license, watched MTV, and experienced the first techno parties.
