Hycou was a friendly guide. He spoke good english. Did a city tour of berlin in the coach and stopped at three photo taking stops; the berlin wall, the Brandenburg Gate and the parliament.

ah burt, the 10-year-old asked him, " why there's a wall in the middle of berlin?"

he said, "young man, you see your house has walls to protect the family. china had a great wall to protect the country..... berlin had a wall to kill its people."

the kid, "why kill people?"

"when they tried to escape from east to west berlin, they would be shot at."

"oh... just like my papa said, u.s.a. has a wall street, that people make lots of money but once in a while they loose their pants and their lives when they try to escape the crash."
