I didn’t see any of the violence yesterday, but it appears that quite a few people were injured.

I am definitely looking forward to coming home on Friday.

On the 15th the unions claimed there were about a million protesters. I doubt that it was a million but still more people than I’ve ever seen in one place. Some violence but apparently not as much as yesterday.

This follows my last two international trips to Athens (where rioters burned vehicles) and Bangkok (where rioters burned down a mall). I’m thinking maybe I should stay home for a while.

Have a safe trip.
