A month later he flew to the Middle East.

He landed on a farm in Weissensee in East Berlin. After being interrogated by East German authorities for four hours, he was handed a cheese sandwich and put on a train back to West Berlin.<\/p><p>A year later, in 1984, he spent three months touring India in a double-decker bus under the motto \u2018Yoga for Peace\u2019.
