Q : How did Germany overcome the difference between the east and the west?

A : After the collapse of Berlin wall, everything even pen became different. For some time, lots of people cried " wonderful!" about unification of Germany. But as time goes by, troubles began to occur. Even though they became unification, they had prejudices each other. So they began to find a way to get united. They followed the better things each other. For example, East Germany had the good school and education system better than West, so West Germany followed the East's system. Like this, they are going to overcome their difference slowly. However they still have prejudices other, so this is very complicated problem that is associated with economy, society and culture.

Q : What kind of benefits do you have in your current country?

A : I an retired now, but It's nice to me. Because I have much time to do many things such as to go to the concert and to meet people. Even though I don't have a job, I receive a pension about my last professorship for about 40 years. I think that our country's social security is good.
