Living in Berlin was quite an experience, so many stories, such as hearing gun shots at night time and knowing someone was trying to escape over the Wall.
The nightly propaganda very late at on TV from the East Germay, of the war atrocities, my ex husband use to watch it, I only did once and that was enough.
I loved Berlin though it had an atmosphere that is not there now according to my brother who has been back since the Wall came down. The intrigues of the Stasi, the former Head Quarters are now a museum. I joked with my brother that he should write a book as part of his job was to cause problems for them.
It is a good that that the Wall came down (though it was replaced with other problems in the beginning)
I have memories of living in that era for three years that were unique, and I am so glad I had the opportunity.
