A Conversation for The Berlin Wall

3DM a piece

The first East Berlin entrepreneurs got the brilliant idea in late 1989 and all through 1990 to make profit by selling pre-hacked up pieces of the wall for 3 DM a time. Obviously the bits with any paint were much in demand. However when I was there in the summer of 1990 there was still sufficient wall still standing and painted to enable you to avoid paying the price and collecting your own chunks of wall. I wasn't going to pay 3DM for a piece of concrete with some paint on it.

Hello!
Do you know that the pieces of the Berlin Wall are probably full of "Asbest" (I don't know the english term for it, but maybe it's just the same or you can look it up in a dictionary or something)?
