    Ich war leider noch nicht in Berlin, aber es soll sehr nett sein. Mit meinem Wien kann es aber nicht mithalten. ;-)

    Ja sicher, Sie haben recht. Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and fortunately, unlike Berlin, is was not completely destroyed during the war. I have been there a few times but that was long ago. I haven't been to Berlin since the wall came down but I must go to walk through the Brandenburg gate, which is something I promised myself back in the days of the East/West divide when it was impossible. All of the magnificent buildings shown in the video are familiar to me: Schönbrunn Palace and the Glorietta, the Town Hall, the Hofburg, the Opera, the Karlskirche etc. etc.

    You're right. Vienna didn't escape unscathed, but we were rather lucky compared to other cities. I was quite saddened by what I saw in Exeter and my mother said the same about Plymouth.

    the luminous grass of the prairie hides
    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.
