“Some cultures place government and God on the same echelon in the social hierarchy, but not Slovaks. Slovaks seem to generally place government somewhere on the social ladder below homeless men drinking wine in a box outside of Tesco, but above the mafia, because while homeless men are smelly and sad to look at, they really only keep to themselves, ask a passerby occasionally for money and don’t really bother anyone that much. Other than providing food, there is another reason that gardens became so popular in former Czechoslovakia – escape.”
