Exiting from the bottom left corner of the square, I went along Mohren strasse, holding a copy of lonely planet map and figuring the way to Potsdamer Platz, where I have read about distinguished visitors standing on a famous platform in West Berlin, staring at the Wall and looking out over this no man's land beyond, which had once been Berlin's busiest square. Trusting the incomprehensive map, I arrived to see to my right apartment complexes and grassy mounds which was once Hitler's bunker site; to my left the new commercialized square and recreational centre. Broken fragments of the Wall decorate the vicinity, one of which is grafittied 'The original Berlin Wall'. Here and almost everwhere in Berlin, cranes work to dish out more complexes, to rebuild the city into one as busy and properous as before.
