It is a mild day(mid 50's) today, but heavily overcast with bits of rain here and there. The city center had been transformed into an arena of celebration with beer on sale at prices as they were under communism (less then 2 czk (12 cents)per 0.5 liter) and other beverages on "sale" as well. I partook of such refreshment of course and at only 12 cents (USD) for a half liter of Gambrinus, that was quite an excellent bargin. This was in Old Town Square and only for a limited period this afternoon. This was a light-hearted attempt to recreate what life was like 20 years ago.

In addition there were booths showing the products that was hard to obtain under Communism; certain soaps, personal hygiene items, toilet paper, toys).

Special events for children were happening, and there were many booths handing out free bananas and oranges as a reminder of the scarcity of these "luxury" items under Communist rule. These items were next to impossible for the average citizen to get. So with almost free beer and free fruit, good music, and people having a good time; this was the order of the day here in Prague on this anniversary.
