Today I got the normal bus to the city rather than the metro, and when we got to where the Chan-Ki-Shek memorial hall is situated the place was crowded with more coaches than I had ever seen in one place, thought must be a big tourist party, but when we go to the end of the road the bus I was on did not take its normal rout but just turned and headed back the other way, no speaking Chinese I did not know why this was so. I soon found out there was this hell of a noise of sirens blowing after some guy had spoken on the loud speaker, well the whole main city was closed off with barricades as seen in these pictures, in May the green party here lost power and their ex president is being investigated for fraud, the new president had invited a member of the mainland Chinese government over for talks, and he was in the country. Most of the protesters had come from the south of the Island the green Party stronghold, thus all the coaches
