DDR is watching. look at this tower in old estberlin. i was there giving a lecture on carcrashes in european film after 76 - think german - at the open university of berlin and i got lost in kreutzberg. all i could see was rails. rails on end.

after some time i found the right train back. the same actually. it runs in a circle thru berlin but how could i have known? it's a speciality of mine - getting lost in european cities. ask anybody.

diesen zug fahren durch die stadt! said the conductor out loud. weisen diesen toristen aber nichts!?

he was turkish and spoke deutch sehr schlecht but i didn't reply. why would i?
