On one of our first Berlin outings we found a charming little Trödelmarkt. There was a stand selling glasses frames, and each time we tried on a pair, the seller would remark "Aber...Hallo!" in a very deep, sleazy/ironic voice.
We found a pair that the seller told us looked like the ones Erich Honecker wore in the 60's and 70's when he was constructing the Berlin Wall and governing the East German DDR. That's him on the left, looking rather kindly and idealistic.
