The Berlin Wall

I visited the infamous Berlin Wall only once in my life, way back in 1982. What an unpleasant view it was, running right through Berlin city. There were tours arranged for those who wanted to see what it was like on the the other side of the wall, the old East Germany, but there's nothing much to see. Everything was arranged and controlled. Seven years later, I remember eagerly reading the papers, watching TV and listening to the radio when the demonstrations were at its peak. It was only a matter of time! Sure enough, on 9 Nov 1989, it finally came down.
