Growing up in West-Berlin, I believed all cities were surrounded by a wall, and if you wanted to leave or enter a city, you'd have to take your identity card or passport, wait at the border for a couple of hours and get the car searched.

When I was a child, I thought adults knew everything.

I used to think that anything North of me on a map was ABOVE me; you know, like above the sky, or something? Because North was UP on the map, and UP meant ABOVE me....so as a child, when my mom said we were going up North to visit my uncle, I thought to myself "Jeepers! We're going above the sky! I wonder how we'll end up doing that...."

I have to admit, I used to think up north was like uphill. All rivers flowed south downhill to the sea.
