Etymology

After World War II, the city of Berlin was divided into two parts: east and west. East Berlin was controlled by Russia; the West by American/English administrators. Due to the restrictive nature of communism, East Berlin became a truly repressive place to live. Though 99% of the wall is gone, to this day you can distinguish both sides by looking at the architectural differences (visible even in aerial photographs).

Notes

The ender portal on this level has four eyes already in place, so that's nice. Also, you're going to find some good mountains and a nice nether.

Etymology

When a ballet dancer begins in first, third, or fifth position and then leaps forward and lands again in the same position. If you drop the "u", it becomes a somersault.

Etymology

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were at one time the king and queen of Hollywood. Together, they made a bunch of movies and a couple of kids. They sacrificed their position of power to speak out against the House Un-American Activities Committee witch-hunt trials. Sadly, Bogart died in the 1950s from Cancer, but Bacall is still making movies -- at the age of 88.

Notes

Some good mountains in this one, including a lake bordered on three sides by cliffs. I found a village with a cave in the middle of it and two small ravines that cross each other forming what I will henceforth refer to as a "raptor claw" -- after the birds, not the dinosaurs.
