I went to each section of Berlin back in the days when it was still really divided (1984 I think). An interesting, if not entirely pleasant, experience. Glad I got to do it. Saw all of the historic sites, strolled through the downtown(s), road the train (yuck), had coffee and vodka and attempted to shop - only place with anything to buy (not on the black market) was West Berlin. At that time, West Berlin was just a bit too crazy for me. Can't imagine London or NYC could be worse. I never saw anything in New York City on a daily basis like I did in West Berlin.

>Then they are sadly mistaken. Can't remember a single city that's on no man's land, or that has the border zig-zagging through it. Berlin once had it, but that was an intranational border.
