Kultur 11

I find all the cultural implications the Berlin wall made even after coming down very interesting. When learing about the ordeal in US history back in high school, the subject of the Wall is quickly passed over as just another event in Germany's wild history. However, focusing on it more I find that it is just too interesting to spend so little time on in class. The fact that a wall was built to separate two halves of a city is just unreal. Although I'm not surprised, it was interesting to read about the stereotypes easterners and westerners hold against each other. Even more interesting is that before the wall, there WEREN'T easterners or westerners, really. They were and still are all of the same city.
