QUESTION - How do you know when you're in part of the old East Germany?
Answer - The traffic signals that tell you when it's safe to cross the road are cheery boys and girls.
This was one of the gems of information I discovered in Dresden today.
We were told that, instead of using the thin man that we see in Australia and everywhere else in the world, the East German government decided to adopt a more robust and cheery chap with a hat and an extravagant gait.
And not to be chauvinists, they included a chick with a ponytail and an equally jaunty walk.
See, the Commies were not such bad blokes after all.
