This is one of the modules that I am taking this semester at Chula. Classes were supposed to start 2 weeks ago but the lecturer canceled both of the classes. Well, I highly suspect he has something to do with the very coincidental protest by the People's Alliance for Democracy to overthrow the government...
Witnessing the demonstrations yesterday made me realise how big a scale the 'event' was and how the planning for it was also rather detailed. There were truck loads of huge huge speakers playing loud music and broadcasting the rallies, there were security personnel, even wearing tags that state 'security', to protect the demonstrators, some on motorcycles to help interrupt and stop the traffic. haha. And at the government house, people were giving out food packages and drinks to those who camped there. Jian Wei and i wanted to buy the yellow scarf that many of them were wearing only to find out that these people bought theirs a long time ago in preparation for their big day.Here are some pictures i took as i walked from the victory monument (at about 6pm) towards the government house. We stayed till about 9+ and then decided to head home.
