Rather like the forest floor after a fire, when the rains finally came it did not take long for the trappings of Capitalism to take root and quickly sprout in the former East Germany. Not only did the roads fill with new street furniture and advertising up to date non-communist cars started to fill the roads and also from the West came new middle-aged buses to replace the somewhat basic but still reliable Ikarus fleet and flowery painted double-deckers advertising gardening products could even be found heading for the leafy suburbs way off the tourist trail like this BVG bus bringing the simple pleasures of riding upstairs on a MAN double-decker to Buch.
