The Wall

Ok, now I've been there too and seen the residues of the great Berlin Wall. One thing I can say is that Germans very much remind themselves of their own horrible history. Whereever you go in Berlin you get constantly reminded of every aspect of the latest war, WWII. In a good way, I think. I'm convinced that no more wars will start on German soil. When and where do Swedes remind themselves of their ravages across Russia or Europe? It could be wise to remember our own war crimes. Well, it was more than 200 years ago so I guess it is ok to have forgotten. Yet I liked to be in Berlin. I should go there again.
