I cannot believe that all those pieces of glass are bolted and fastened enough to stand this load, especially those ones that are nearly parallel the earth! Impressed! Thank you for such photos The building is really great.

With the result of having some letters converted wrong and words making no sense at all. Also having the first line of the hymn of the former GDR ("Auferstanden aus Ruinen") on a shirt is pretty weird.

It really turns me off how lots of Japanese-designed items/tees with French on them are often ridiculous, and don't buy them based on that.
