Communist Museum
The weather was nice today - clear but cold. It was about 40 and thank goodness I brought a thermal! I ventured out looking for the Communist Museum and boy was it hard to find. It took me a good 30 minutes to find it as it's located next to and above a McDonald's and a casino... irony. I circled the block a few times and for the sake of my colleague Pantea, I stopped to have some Czech street food. I had a grilled pork sausage on a baguette for 60 koruna (~3.30 USD) and it wasn't bad. I wish it had been a little hotter (temp wise) but it had good flavor. |

The Communist Museum was pretty cool. They traced the history of Communism in Czechoslovakia from WW1 up to the Velvet Revolution in 1989. My favorite part of the museum was the video of the events before and after the Velvet Revolution. It's pretty cool to see some the of the same streets who are now full of tourists occupied back then by police and protesters.
My last dinner in Prague is going to be the national dish of the Czech Republic - roast pork, dumplings, cabbage and of course pivo (beer).
