So, Where is the Berlin Wall nowadays?

So, Where is the Berlin Wall nowadays?

Miss Moci

After the end of World War II, Germany’s western side was controlled by the Western Allies and the east side by the Soviets. In 1960, millions of runaways from the eastern to the western part drastically affected the Soviet Germany. To prevent further escapes, a wall that fenced West Berlin was constructed in 1961. On the 9th of November 1989 the demolition of the wall began, leaving behind the sad story of a divided country that suffered the horrors of the war for many years. Most of the wall was recycled to rebuild the reunified Germany, but some fragments remain in museums and other important venues around the world. So, Where is the wall nowadays?   Seoul- South Korea A piece of a fallen wall can be especially inspiring in a country that still suffers the horrors of division. There are three sections of the wall in the middle of Seoul at the southern end of Cheonggye Stream’s Jangtong Bridge. Berlin gave Seoul these pieces of the wall along with a sculpture of a blue bear that symbolizes the German capital. These symbols of consolation and encouragement seemed to be appropriate for a country that still has reunification ahead of it. Address: Cheonggyecheon  Jongno 5(o).6(yuk)ga-dong, Seoul ‎ Photo vía  Las Vegas, USA There are many segments of the Berlin Wall in the United States, but the most curious place of all is, undoubtedly, the toilets of the famous Main Street Station Casino. Obviously it is not possible to piss directly on the wall, but in the urinals that are on it. On top of the curious historical urinals, you’ll find...

Let’s celebrate an unforgettable Christmas this year! You´ll have so much fun, guaranteed! Catalonia – Caganer and Caga Tío The region of Catalonia in Spain is famous for its unorthodox celebrations. As an important part of the Christmas traditions, there are two characters that catch most of the attention of the unsuspecting tourists in the region: the Caganer and Caga Tío. The Caganer is a figurine of a celebrity in a squatting position that illustrates the act of excretion. This comic character, a key part of the Catalan nativity scenes, has a profound meaning of fertility for farmers in the region. The Caganer became popular with the passing of the years and today it is symbol of luck for all Catalans. via Caganercom The Caga Tío is a wooden log dressed with a hat and a red cape (part of the Catalan traditional costumes) that basically poops gifts to Catalan children, who must sing songs and hit him with a stick to get their Christmas presents.
