Talking to our host family about
the Wall, I was really surprised to see the resentment that is still there. The
Feists are from what used to be West Berlin, and they described how what was
formerly East Berlin has gotten all the funds and money so that East Berlin is
way more up to date and high tech than West Berlin is. They talked about
feeling neglected by the government and having to pour their tax dollars into
fixing the East when they were seeing nothing for it in their own homes. While
a little bitter, they did agree that the East needed the help, but they wished
they would get a little help as well.
