I have finally been there today and the only thing I have to say is :
Well we all know what they are doing right now, but it just make me sick to see this for real. Even if I haven't been to the GDR when I was younger, I just feel like Berlin is erasing the history of the past century piece by piece. Just last week when I arrived in Berlin, it was written in the newspapers that the city wanted to dismantle 45 wall segments in order to make a free view for the new arena they are building at the Ostbahnhof.
I just don't understand that! Well, here is the result of my excusion day. I didn't feel I was ready to go to the universsity today, so I made the tourist again.Attached Files

This is just crazy!
By the way this is not one of my picture.Attached Files

Well it appears the construction workers will be employed for a while they are dismantling...Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did. Quote - Sophie Scholl - White Rose resistance group

Here's an update from my trip to Berlin last week - March 11-16, 2007, exactly a year to the week I was last there - seems the demo crews have slowly but steadily been making progress...
