This morning I knew it was going to be one of those fun Greek days. Lots of Police lined up and ready, lots of street closures as well.
There's also the strikes, the part that drives me most nuts. Garbage pick up hasn't happened in more than a week. Today the transit is limited, no taxis, no stores open, no banks, hospitals are running minimally, air traffic controllers are on strike, lawyers and pharmacists are on strike, and customs officials are on strike. Fortunately we knew this was coming so food wise we're OK. I find it amazing how busy (both car and people traffic) it is considering the only thing open is restaurants.
There was also the standard protest at Syntagma square with flash bombs, stun grenades, Molotov cocktails, and tear gas. I did notice however that the news about this has calmed down a lot. I think the poignancy of these protests has started to wear off for international news stations. Will there be more tomorrow?
Later
