In the suterain of the Světozor palace is a cheap cantine called Peklo, the Hell. It is open for lunch and the meals are cheap as a relict form the times when on the Wenceslaw Square used to be buffets, as the famous one in the Palace Koruna. At 3 pm is the Hell already closed. But evenings Peklo appears in the another shape: as a night bar, and discoteque with occasionally live music. I recorded the closing of the door, cooks talking and then took the lift back up to the surface. On the backyard humming aircondition because of the tropical temperature. There are Fruit shop ladies making calls from the confeterie Ovocný světozor.
