Should have read your comment before posting. He doesn't just look like a pro wrestler. He looks like a top notch late 80s, early 90s pro wrestler.

Me thinking of asking "did they travel from east or west Germany?" 🤔

Me then realising that Germany reunited in 1990 and that's over 30 years ago 😭

Would also be pretty impossible for them to leave East Germany and go to a western country

I don't think it was as difficult towards the end of the 80s post Berlin wall collapse

cyberneticSatan t1_je1i3xb wrote

You're talking about the timeframe between November 9, 1989 and October 3, 1990, during which the GDR was unravelling itself very quickly. But before that, there was pretty much no chance for regular East Germans to vacation in the Netherlands.

BrockChocolate t1_je1idqc wrote

Ah really! I would have thought Soviet reforms would have allowed western travel before then. The more you know, thanks!

TheBlack2007 t1_je47igs wrote

By the mid-80s the Soviets went for a more lenient approach with their puppets and allowed them more autonomy. That’s why Hungary opened its border to Austria back in the summer of 1989 - and thousands of East Germans used that opportunity.

But the East German government itself was a bunch of hardliners, some of which having been around since the country was founded. They even openly discussed a "Chinese solution" and if the worst was to happen, would have detained more than 50,000 so-called "deviants" into internment camps. Hell, when the first free labor union of the Eastern Block was founded in Poland, East Germany begged the Soviets to solve this issue like they had in Prague (by rolling tanks over protesters) - and would have been willing to participate if necessary.

LonnieYo OP t1_je1ke6l wrote

Many people in Germany copied the look of German footballers, which was, hard to believe, even bigger in Germany then than it’s now. My dad pretty much lived football, he was a goalie in 2nd Bundesliga at some point and had an offering from 1. FC Köln, he still watches pretty much every single game to this day :D anyway I’m sure that’s where he got his hairstyle from!

Knowing Germans, I bet your dad's a fluff machine that tears up easily. And your mom probably is logical. Like Martina.

LonnieYo OP t1_je1isw2 wrote

They are both the 2 kindest people I know, my dad is always cracking jokes that will make everyone in the family laugh and my mom is pure chaos (in the best way possible :D) and will always help everyone with everything if there is even a broad assumption she can - Me and my wife live super close so we still see each other daily for dinner, I’ve never seen these 2 not laugh and joke around with each other constantly! But no, my dad is also the toughest guy I know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him tear up unless it’s from laughing too much :D And he is also the logical, while my mom is again.. pure chaos!

Peter Gibbons : That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence : Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

Peter Gibbons : Well, not all chicks.

Lawrence : Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

Peter Gibbons : Good point.

Lawrence : Well, what about you now? What would you do?

Peter Gibbons : Besides two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence : Well, yeah.

Peter Gibbons : Nothing.

Lawrence : Nothing, huh?

Peter Gibbons : I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

Lawrence : Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.

Every time I hear “30 years ago” I’m still thinking early to mid 80’s, this photo could pass for that era but it’s nuts to think it was actually 1993.

Time is moving fast as fuck, I still remember thinking 2008 sounded extremely futuristic because my US quarter collection book stopped at that date.

No. German tourists were famous for digging holes on beaches to get out of the wind or something. Dutch people found that very weird and anoying so we still make jokes about Germans being "kuilengravers". Holediggers.
