I remember 23 years this large impressed me duplexes Berlin subway, perhaps because it was the first car that I saw. View of the almost inconceivable enormity of this structure have developed on the station, where two lines intersect. Went down the stairs from the street level street, where trams run to the subway platform level, and the platform to the stairs leading to a lower level, which also are the tracks, after which the car rides. So is the tunnel under the street, which runs underground, and under him the second, which runs another subway line. My imagination is seized with difficulty, and as I thought about how the subway is built, reached me, the whole enormity of this project, conducted under the whole city, especially since in many places, built a tunnel under rivers and canals. For a long time later, I was impressed with this gigantic building, although I could see only a small portion of it. To this day I hold the plan for all lines of those times.
Another thing that seemed to me then unprecedented and astonishing was visible on the streets of the city's cosmopolitanism and some mutual tolerance of its people, from different groups ethnic minorities. Earlier in other European cities also saw a lot of black people - or żółtoskórej. In particular, it was a lot of them in the port cities of Hamburg, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Netherlands. However, isolate, and behaved very xenophobic, what I have seen in the Turkish district of Rotterdam, I was forced to go through this neighborhood in the evening. In Berlin, nothing like that happened, the streets are a lot of people of different races intermingled with each other and probably zbratanych.
Last year I had the opportunity again to visit this amazing city, this time a large impressed by the multi-storey railway station.
Berlin has changed after the reunification of Germany, attracted many modern buildings, overpasses and communications solutions, however, mutual tolerance and respect for the residents seem to be intact.
me as a boatman of course most interested in the inland waterways had once sailed.
There's a reason they call the city of Berlin a thousand bridges. Rivers Havel and Spree, and tens of inland canals, form a network, in which it is easy to get lost.
