The Brandenburg <i>Residenz</i> has been demolished to make way for the House of the People and Palace of the Republic. Ceilings are made of space-age aesbestos, the same material used in Soyuz rockets! <P><FONT SIZE="-2"> Get to one of the international border crossings at Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn Station, or Grenzuebergang Friedrichstrasse ("Checkpoint Charlie") early! The lines are long and your visa will be valid for one day only. Ask them to stamp your passport if you do not want your passport stamped, and vice-versa. <P>You will not be permitted to travel outside of East Berlin and must change 30 Deutschmarks for 30 great Eastmarks. You can buy Eastmarks for 12 to 1 in West Berlin, but you will find them hard to spend!<P> You may be denied a visa for any reason. The German Democratic Republic is not obliged to give a reason for denial. All travellers must return to the west by midnight. You may be shot trying to escape.</FONT></P> |
