Checkpoint Charlie: I was there in 1980. "You are leaving the American Sector" in four languages as I recall. Cool museum there as well. Great graffiti all over the wall on our side. We took a bus across to shop, you had to change Dmarks for OstMarks at one to one, a real ripoff. We bought cheap Bulgarian wine, and gave the rest of the Ost Marks to the east German kids before we came back out.
