Great to be back in Berlin - the pace of change seems to have slowed down enough that the place seems as familiar as it ever did. The main changes seem to be that the old East German meeting hall has gone (and all its asbestos with it) and the Reichstag is much more difficult to get into. The former has apparently been removed in the name of rebuilding an old palace (Potsdam has taken this idea to the max). The latter is the victim of heightened security - never quite sure how significant the threat is.
