It's obviously 'The Thinker' by Rodin - or one of the many copies of it. If it is in a capital city then is it in the garden of the Musee Rodin in Paris ? I have no idea what may be under it.

 

I think that it maybe over the tomb of Rodin and his wife.

 

... and where is that?

 

In the garden of the Musee Rodin in Paris.

 

Meudon I guess as you can see a building in the distance that I noticed yesterday when watching the Tour.

 

yes you are right. I never realised about Meudon as his home until we were in Paris 10 days ago and we went to Meudon after visiting the museum. There were only half a dozen people there..... He used to go every day from Meudon to his workshops which were in what is now the museum.

very interesting

over to you...

 

What did Monaco, Andorra, San Marino with others receive from East Germany after the reunification?

 

East Germany had a surplus of many things after reunification - I would guess at either police dogs, tobacco plants or trabant cars ?

 

None of those cologne.

 

I would say nothing Frenchie, because there was no 'East Germany' after the reunification.

 

Hmm, yes, but something that they didn't need anymore was handed out to other countries. And therein lies a clue.

 

Souvenir pieces of the Berlin Wall ?

 

Embassy buildings?

 

Unemployed secret police?

Performance enhancing drugs?

 

No, no and no. I guess that mine and colognes are different to Yorkies and BBs, but we are all covered by one.

 

Old currency ?

 

No.

 

Coming down to despairing guesses here - East Berlin still has the biggest concentration of gas street lamps in the World, so did the rest of these disappear to other countries, maybe for nostalgic reasons ?

 

No. Think copper.

 

Possibly telephone cables. I think they decided to go through the ether completely whilst upgrading the system.
