From AHOJ: Six Months in the Czech Republic

When I ran across the Velvet Revolution monument on Národní Street next to a department store, I blinked as though I’d encountered an alien who somehow was my twin. I got this plaque, which features nine outstretched bronze hands in a V for victory. Those hands seemed to be celebrating, yes, but also searching. I could relate, albeit in a tiny and entirely personal way, but still. Yes, I could relate.
