Close enough.
It's Chanceller Willi Brandt, in Warsaw, kneeling at the plaque commemorating the Warsaw Uprising, where he spontaneously fell to his knee sin what is know as the "Warshauer Kniefall"

Well, you know, Paris... Shangai, they're only a few kilometers away 
The fact that your location says you're in China until the 23rd might be a pointer...
Very nice building btw.

It's in China alright, but Shanghai is not the correct answer.
Thanks for reminding me to change location. 
How about Beijing then!
OK then, who is the youngest and oldest man to win the Australian Tennis Open?
I would answer, but I'm sulking as nobody answered my question previously in the quizz.

Well, ne never had the answer either. And you'll have to admit it was a very difficult question.
It was an easy question!
Anyway, here is the answer, so you can go to bed a bit less ignorant this evening!
The top five countries with the largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ) are :
- USA 11,351,000 km²
- France 11,035,000 km²
- Australia 8,148,250 km²
- Russia 7,566,673 km²
- Canada 5,599,077 km²
The funny part is having France second, just after the USA
The EEZ of France covers approximately 8% of the total surface of all the EEZs of the world, whereas the land area of the French Republic is only 0.45% of the total land area of the Earth
Note also that the EEZ of the European Union is shared, with a combined zone amounts to 25 million km².

Nope Nope 10chars
Yes, that's Saint Pierre et Miquelon.
If you include onshore area + EEZ + territorial waters, you get
1) Russia : 24,641,873 km²
2) USA : 20,982,418 km²
3) Australia : 15,835,100 km²
4) Canada : 15,583,747 km²
5) Brazil : 12,175,831 km²
6) France : 11,709,843 km²
7) China : 10,476,979 km²
Making France the 6th largest on Earth
Interesting that Australia is 3rd largest, maybe its because of all those great tennis players we had!
hmm...would one of them be the youngest and oldest melbourne-winner?
