Right behind the Reichstag is a very interesting building. My wife and I were looking at it (looked like the last shot was fired just an hour before) when an East German gent asked us if we knew the history of the building. No.... Turns out it is where Dr. Koch discovered the cause of tuberculosis.
The cities were a mess.

So has it cleaned up a bit in the East or is it still Third World?
Also, I heard the West Germans were sorely pissed after the wall fell because the East Germans were coming in and taking all the employment -- for much less pay.
