After arriving at 1am, an hour late, then dealing with accomodation mess up, I left my hotel early in the morning to the meeting. I’m here to participate in the APC Regional Consultation Meeting on ICT Policy in Asia.
Upon entering the main street I walked into what looked like hundreds of rowdy rock weilding protesters. There’s a general national strike in effect. Anyone showing signs of working was set upon with stones.
No photos of the mailaise, but I do have a construction site. Maybe tomorrow I can get close enough to photograph the barefoot workers. As I entered the BRAC Building in which we’re holding the Meeting riot police appeared from no specific origin and suddenly there was smoke and a greater sense of calamity.
Interested in the meeting? I’m keeping a blog there.
geeze. it looks like it would be cold in that building. what happened to the walls?
Actually it looks like there are rocks or something being pitched off the top of that building.
those rocks may well be grime from the window i’d taken this shot through.
