Healthy Nostalgia

There is a weekly show here called Our Little Clinic (Nasa Mala Klinika). This is the emblem the characters wear on their uniforms is this, a take off on the red cross that you'd find on old fashioned hospital uniforms. Its also a take off on the old communist red star. Interesting how the sharp points have been rounded off. But then, that is kind of what the show is. It isn't set in the past, its set in the present, but all of the character types are from the socialist period, they've just been updated a bit. I actually don't find the show that funny, but I'd didn't spend most of my life growing up in a socialist society. People here seem to like it a lot, and maybe that is a healthy sign, that they can now laugh at the past a little, even when it is disguised as the present.
