- Actually Žižkovský vysílač is very good place to visit. There is observation deck and restaurant. Not the cheapest but reasonably priced for a special occasion. - Letohrádek Královny Anny means something like Queen's Anna summer house or small castle (hrad = castle, hrádek (diminutive) = small castle). - At 16:33 you can see the blast doors under the escalator with their mechanism covered behind red panels and steel plates on the floor. Many undeground metro stations were also designed as nuclear bunkers during the cold war era.
Were the Czech people good little citizens and they actually stayed inside for those days? In Poland there was a pretty good underground economy here. Gyms open, hairdressers open and restaurants open, if you knew where to go and how to get in. That is what I love about Poland. They don't let the government tell them what to do. Never be surprised at the fear of other people. Sounds like the Czech people are smart too. You know there is nothing to it when government officials know it isn't that dangerous. Other countries leaders had the same problems. Hmmmm. Prague is so beautiful and those escalators with the wind. I remember that.
To me I seemed like most people obeyed the rules, but of course there were exceptions. Czechs are generally quite distrustful of their government, so the compliance was rooted more in a sense of national solidarity than obedience to the government, I think.
9:58 I am pretty sure the reason they couldn't sell pencils and stuff like that was to not give them advantage over stores that don't sell food and can't have an excuse to open at that time.

This is very interesting, thank you for sharing.
Thanks! More Czech Republic videos coming very soon :)
Very nice video. I like Americans.

What all those people carry in those back packs ?

Ah, I hadn’t considered that, but it does make sense. Thanks :)
