Did you know there is a fragment of Berlin wall in Riga? At least most of Rigans don't know it although it's located in the very centre. Recently (in regard to 20th anniversary since deconstruction of Berlin wall) in one TV broadcast people were asked on the streets, and noone knew.

It's amazing how much people don't know about their own cities. I know I still don't know much, especially since Metro Manila is actually 17 cities. But the blog is helping! :)
ReplyDeleteA great memorial. I hope no country will ever need walls again.
That's a pretty amazing "chunk" of history, and shouldn't be overlooked or forgotten! I'm glad you have given it some publicity.

A great memorial to remind us of an awful thing, the Berlin Wall! May such a wall never be built again!
