Bet you can't...
 

Now I went through Germany and I got this picture http://img.ruba.com/0/154/103_v.jpg, What I want to see is if you can tell me where the picture taken, the place not the website. Hope you can.

Duh!

Isn't this Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, taken from the east and facing into the American sector ...? (Not that the American sector exists any more, it's all Berlin nowadays).

Lavandula

We all miss the wall :D

It is, but facing from the former American sector into former East Berlin.

I'm practicing my German the lazy way at present - so I watched "Goodbye Lenin" the other night auf Deutsch..............a classic.

Gosh I love that film.

Were we supposed to come up with;

Fredrichstrasse, middle of the road, looking north, near no. 43, Berlin, Germany

Yeah something like that.

It's a picture of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, this site is where the picture came from, http://www.ruba.com/guide/Erin/Places_to_see_in_Berlin. Great place really.

nowadays, they have "actors" posing in US uniforms, at Charlie...when I was there in '80, it was the real thing. Looked much less threatenng this last time ('05).

I drove through Checkpoint Charlie in 1972 in a VW van. The East Germans went through the van with a fine toothed comb both on the way in and out.

I was just 18 and so were my 2 traveling companions... East Berlin was so depressing that we left after only a couple of hours.
