Initial Observations of Prague
This may sound strange, as I tend to look at most things in a pretty strange way, but I find myself wondering where are the signs that this city used to be an oppressive communist regime. As I find myself wandering the streets of Prague, I look around to see the instruments of infrastructure that would have existed back then, that had to exist back then, and I find myself seeing none of them. We're only talking a decade here, and very little of the main section of the city appears to be all that new, but I've seen nothing of what would have had to have been in place to keep everything working in that sort of order.

The only thing I've noticed so far is that a few of the roofs appear to have serious wiring around it to keep people off the roofs, at least that's what it appears is the purpose.

On the streets, I can't tell the difference between Prague and practically any other European city. Even though it's a democracy now, one wonders what happened to the state-run institutions that had to be in place in order to keep control of such a large metropolitan area.

I know. It's a weird observation.
