I spent two wonderful nights in a rebuilt boat house next to the Louisiana Museum. Through the huge window I looked at the sea and at Sweden behind it. I could not resist the temptation and, before I set out for Halle in East Germany, I took a boat and crossed the border. Many people did the same. They |

I was the only one younger than 65, waiting at the platform in Hannover for the train to East Germany. Their formless clothes and worn-out bags made them look very much like East Germans. Only pensioners could visit their relatives in the west and return. I sat alone in the compartment and noticed that all capitalist advertisements were removed. Just before the border the West German train guard put all left newspapers in garbage cans. At the East German border station of Marienborn security men collected thoroughly all the newspapers and magazines and anything else that could tempt communist souls, and took them away in large plastic garbage bags. A policeman came to inspect my passport and visum. He opened a box with stamps and ink in different colours, stamped my passport and visum and wished me a pleasant stay. I already thought that it was an easy crossing, but somewhat later a woman in uniform entered the compartment, installed herself and started inspecting everything I had with me. I was happy that I had left most of my luggage in a locker in Hannover. She looked through a magazine I had if it would not contain propaganda. She even wanted to look in my wallet and there she found a few East German coins, in total one and a half mark, leftovers from a trip to East Berlin. She was angry like a school teacher and repeated several times that it was not "In Ordnung". She told me never to take any East German penny across the border again. I should have bought "most" for it, a tasteless soviet lemonade. She wished me a pleasant stay, repeated her sermon and left. |
