Of course we had to go hippie it up at the Lennon Wall, a little bit of more recent Prague history that my roommate Christine directed us to. Its really close to the Charles Bridge but otherwise off the beaten path.
The graffiti started in the 80's by kids who were"alcoholics, mentally deranged, sociopathic, and agents of Western capitalism" according to the government (according to Wikipedia). In other words, against communism.
"Today, the wall represents a symbol of youth ideals such as love and peace" Aww, those darn youth are so idealistic.
