Check-point Charlie
Before entering check-point, I standed at this border of Esat Berlin and West Berlin for an half hour, the Starbucks coffee at the coner , nice german guy in the early morning of germany, he told me the story of berlin wall, I ran into the museum at the first moment when it opened, starting my east-west berlin trip… Escape is the mother of invention, I can’t help myself to pic this slogan, escaping from your own country to your own again !!! What an ironic period,The American in, the british in, the French in; The soviet Russian took over half of the city, the Berliners out , mentally. Escaping could be a good venture for decades for Berliners,in car, in suitcase!!! On boards … whatelse was on that we don’t know yet? What would you think when seeing the 60s something grandma climb down the windows from east berlin , staring at the wall guards, beseeching his favor to let go ?
