“So nice to see. Thank you! I was a student here in 1981. The city seems a lot more prosperous than it was. Would have been nice to see the north end of town, in Projensdorf or Wik, but that's a bit far on foot.”
“Vielen, vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Sie haben einem älteren Herren eine große Freude gemacht. Bin leider nicht mehr mobil!”
