Just a small news item.

The new german health minister is of Vietnamese descent. He was adopted by his german foster parents as a baby of nine months.

He is an eye doctor by profession but got into politics early. He is only 36 year old and the youngest minister in the german government.

You are right. The Biography I took the data from was more than a week old.

I knew she is young but thought not that young.



But honestly I didn't think of that Cabinet change.

And an openly gay Foreign minister, female chancellor, Asian-German minister etccc . . . good for all the above.

I found Germany to always be an interesting place.

First time I saw two gay men holding hands was in Berlin. Dropped my jaw, that did.
