approximate number of days staying in the GDR. We even picked up local people into our car, once the People´s Police stopped us and checked for id´s, that was all. Stayed in a camping area with locals, cheap local camping area, no
Intercamp. Nobody tried to isolate us from local people and we had a complete freedom of movement. Of course it may be that being a Finn fluent in German I received different treatment compared to English-speaking people from NATO countries - many Finns lived there and probably we were considered as allies. My experience with the customs regluations is also different. Everything was checked but left intact, for example audio tapes. Crossed border also several times in Berlin. Treatment from the border guards and the police was firm but friendly. So I think this article is not neutral, it exaggerates the restrictions put on tourists. Sorry, yankees, but this is typical for wiki - US point of view comes first. --

Right now this reads like a travel guide. There should be some information on the role tourism played in the economy, the government's attitude towards it, etc.
