So, we had to write a homework for our teacher... I'll share it with you
Commie old times
I’ve asked my parents, how it was like – to live 20 years ago. My mom said that, they had a very little wages, you can’t buy anything in the shops and you had only an empty wallet. Dad said that mom bought piece of horse salami, divided it into small packages and put in the freezer. That was for a whole month.
Like I’ve said, there was nothing in shops, so you had to have your own fruits and vegetables from your own garden, because, especially at spring, it wasn’t available. If there was something in the shop, there was a long queue of people. When my mother stood in one of that queue with my brothers, waiting for bananas, she bought a magazine “Mateřídouška“ to entertain them and herself for an hour – that time usually standing at queue took. If I’m talking about queues – every day, at 2 PM there was a queue to meat. Before that time, nobody gave you meat, because of the “working people.”
Also, there was bad studying program – if you weren’t a member of a good politic party, you can’t study much.
I’m really happy I don’t have to live in that times.
