When I was 22…

E: … we married. At that time we had a 2 CV and when we started for our honeymoon, the car did some really strange noises. We were quite shocked that exactly now the car was breaking. But my brother-in-law just had fixed many tins at the backside.

N: … I didn’t have money due to the bad salary (450,- DM for the 2. year of apprenticeship), but annoyed my parents so much that they paid the rent for a flat in Hamburg. I lived there for the first time by myself and thought it very exciting.
