Berlin

Greetings from Hackeshcher Markt, Berlin Mitte.
Sitting in an apartment block built in 1987 by the GDR government. It was in celebration of 750 years of the founding of Berlin.
The apartment block is six stories and has no lift.
Katherina Thalbach is in the news these dazs in Berlin. She has a new film out. But she admits she enjoyed life in the old GDR. When her husband was awarded a prize by Strauss back in the late 1970s he thanked the GDR for all he learned in the country.
Berlin has to be one of the great cities of the world

Jetzt ist mir klar, lieber Michael, daß Du in Deutschland bist. Ich hatte es vor ein Paar Tagen erraten. Ich hoffe, daß Du den Besuch genießen kannst und kommst erneuert nach Haus.
Bist Du es, allerdings, der den Kaffee in Dublin vorbereitet hast, bevor der Abfahrt? Na gut: vielen Dank.
Mit brüderlichen Wünschen,
Thomas.
