Berlin: one house, two levels
Continued from P»pe 6
Compulsive monument-collectors can board tour
buses at every other corner, but you'll get a more vivid
picture ol the two Berlins just by people-watching on
the Ku'Damm or Unten den Linden.
West Berliners are the ultimate extroverts. Young
(more than half the 2 million population is under 30),
bright, independent spirits, their favorite word is "tolerant."
East Berliners tend to be patient, placid types, conditioned
by a lifetime of waiting in long lines to buy anything
from tea to taxi service.
But things are changing rapidly. Give an East Berliner
a chance, and hell tell you exactly where he was and
what he was doing when the word came that the wall
was coming down Then you might get another surprise
"We went over to West Berlin to have a look," recalls
Gerd Bethke, duty manager at the Grand. "Then when
we saw how expensive things are over there, we came
back home. There have been government subsidies here
for everything from housing to education to medical
services We didn't know how much things really cost
until we saw the prices Over there "
Bethke and his friends, all in their 40s, decided to stay
put. They appreciate their new freedom, but for the
most part, they'll use it for round trips to the United
States and other places they've only seen on TV
"When you are no longer young, you don't want to
take chances. I am acciistomed lo the ideas of socialism
I like the idea of equality and social security, not
such big differences between the rich and the poor," he
s«y», •
"But I am a realist 1 know changes are-necessary I'd
rather stay and help improve conditions here than try to
start a new life somewhere else."
