I loved Berlin the two times I was there in the early '90s. I'd love to go back sometime to see how it's changed since they moved the capitol back there from Bonn. On my first visit, the Wall had just been knocked open a few days before. I still had to go through Checkpoint Charlie to get to East Berlin.

One of the things I like about my neighborhood here in Seattle is that it reminds me a little of Berlin, partly because of the canal.
