But hey, the new building will proabably get a design award , so that's alright then. And who knows, in a couple of years time we might be able to go to Berlin and buy a little piece of tresor in a plastic box for a couple of euros, when we've all forgotten and stopped caring about the wall and moved on to the next sanitised guided tour and slide show about what life used to be like.
