>The story isn't wrong, it's just obsolete. Throughout the seventies up to, I guess, deep into the nineties, all the computershops in that streets, plus other electronics and whatnot (Konrad being one that I remember, even though they didn't have good prices that day so I bought my Atari in a department store) were the main source of stuff to be smuggled here. You could hear serbocroatian, and probably albanian and rromani any day in that street.

Just kidding
In Bavaria there is a movement to leave germany. I tend to move there and vote pro. :)

There was smuggling through Yugoslavia too. It was a know way to get stuff even to the state.

Conrad is know to be the pharmacy for electronics. You get tiny amounts of anything but don't ask for the price.
