there is an abandoned amusement park on the outskirts of treptower park in east berlin. it has sat empty of loud crowds and clowns and popcorn smells for over three years. to get into it, all you have to do is hop the fence and try to stay away from the caretaker who lives alone in the "wild western town" part of the park. and when he finds you, it is best to pretend you don't speak german and you don't have a camera and when he makes you climb back over the fence you hopped over to get in, even though he has the keys to the padlock on the fence jangling on a belt around his waist, you grin and bear it.
