Travelling as a tourist there, you hardly notice these things. You move just through, and you move too fast. So don'T be afraid to visit it!

I have seen quite some countries, but no country ever that was only scarying all together, or only a paradise alltogether. east Germany has some nice landscape to see, especially the closer to Poland you come (and then areas in Poland itself). It's just a place that is much more difficult to form an existence and a future in, compared to west Germany. anything I dsaid about the situation in Eastgermany only makes sense and should be seen with standards on mind that compare it to the rest of northern, Western, Southern and Central Europe.

If I compare it with Algeria, or Syria or Anatolia, all places that I learned to know a bit, or places in aFrica or north Korea, Eastgermany suddenly appears to be as paradise on Earth.

So, our standards to which we compare our lives, play into it. And one certainly must amdit that wetsern living standards are excessively exaggerated and make us all living on tick that we cannot pay back, never.

If all mankind would live by the same standards like we in the West, despair and revolts would cause thermonuclear global war within a couple of years, I'm sure. Imagine 7 billion people consuming and wasting like we do in the West - our planet would not support that kind of a desaster, and many societies in history have collapsed in surprinsingly short time due to the civilisation in a place consumed all it's life-supporting natural resources, destroyed the environment, and then - after having messed up everything that was available for messing it up - was left with the only choice to turn to cannibalism, and then died.
