Indeed, it was quite a prep ;) It was fun to spend some time back in XXth century :)
I agree with you about the lack of support for so many historical and cultural places and monuments we have. Yes, it is people fault, of course, as it seems that we as a nation don't care enough. The budget for culture is mockingly small. Each and every year and that's a function of what we as a nation believe is important.
Have a great day!
