More than 10 years have passed, but marks of the 1989 revolution are still visible.
Buildings that were destroyed in 1989, have been reconstructed. One small building stands exactly as I saw it in 1990, preserved as a reminder of the brutal repression of the special forces. Walking further through the city, I encountered more small monuments near the University, which was another place where people demonstrated and were killed. When I walked down a subway underpass, where in those early days of a new era students gathered in the dark to discuss the future, where shadows passed by on a meeting near candle light in the obscure corners of a wrapped up in darkness, I was amazed. The underpass has been transformed in a food court you could find anywhere in Europe.
