Recorded inside of the crowd of turists, gathering each day (or just Sunday?) around the main gate to the Prague Castle. Turists are comming to watch the performance of changing of guards. Guards are performing the happening once a day, and it is accompanied by funny brass band music. The guards are hacking with the gunstock on the pavement. The turists apparently enjoying this. The flag is not flattering above the roofs of the Castle, which means the President was on his dacha.
