Berlin Wall ft. Taipei
Beware: It is not allowed to walk inside. Be sneaky outside the gate.
Do you know a segment of berlin wall displaying in Taipei?
Berlin Wall was built on 13 August 1961. The wall divided Berlin physically and ideologically from 1961 to 1989. People in berlin were also divided in west and east residents. Tragic wall made the history. West berlin belongs to West Germany. But it is located in the area of East Germany. And the wall actually separated west berlin from all the western world. Interesting that the more violent policy calls more strong unity. Humanity.
Concerns on this wall from all around the world
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”, Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1987. The Berlin wall was finally down at 9 November 1989. The day people from East Berlin walked on the street forward to the wall after hearing the broadcasting which Schabowski mistakenly responded. People gathered together tore down the wall between west and east, just like the lyrics in the song hero.
“We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day” Hero, David Bowie.
Fun fact: David Bowie played a concert close to the wall in West Berlin at 1987. The concert made lots of residents in East Berlin across the Wall, followed by violent rioting in East Berlin. “Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among #Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the #wall.” Tweet by German Foreign Office

B = how many glasses at the gate.
Final coordination
N25 XX.XXX E121 YY.YYY
Equation:
XX.XXX = 1961+8(B-A)+13B
YY.YYY = 1989(2A+B)-11(10AB-64)-9(B-4A)
