My partner and I enjoyed the Communism Walk written by Bridget Fielding,

I am writing to say how much my partner and I enjoyed the Communism Walk starting at 2.00pm Friday October 13th. 2006. We were very sorry we had to leave the walk in a rush as it was reaching its conclusion in Wenceslas Square as we had a plane to catch! Please convey my apologies and thanks to the gentleman who led our walk. It was a most illuminating experience made all the more interesting by the lively account of his actual experiences.
