Berlin, tschüss!
This is my last week in Berlin. This week, we went on a bunker and tunnel tour about the escape tunnels that were dug during the Berlin Wall period and the stories behind them. What made the experience especially memorable was that the tour actually took place inside one of the tunnels, which had been dug by Hasso Herschel and his team. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures during the tour, so I do not have any photos from inside. But here is a picture of the coffee shop across the street, which is named after one of the people involved in digging the tunnel. I am not going to tell you the stories we heard during the tour, because I think that would spoil the experience for anyone who might visit it someday. But I will say this: during a two-hour tour deep inside a cold, dark tunnel, nobody fell asleep, nobody looked bored, and I raised my hand to answer questions at least twice. When we finally came back outside, almost everyone seemed deeply moved. A lot of us said...
