Nuclear Shelter in Berlin


I heard the news that after North Korea conducted a nuclear experiment, Japanese construction companies dealing nuclear shelters have had a lot of queries. That reminded me of one in Berlin....as part of the attractions of a museum called "The Story of Berlin", there is tour to a nuclear shelter built in 1974, right in the middle of the cold war era.

It contains a kitchen (see picture), bedrooms, bathrooms, everything. The most amazing thing was that it's located in the basement of a big shopping mall in downtown Berlin....if there were such a shelter, say, under the mall in Shinjuku, I'd be stunned. But such a secret project might be going on where I have no idea...???
