Dear France, today I hate you

Past couple of days in Lyon and in France in general have been pretty intense. People have gone totally mental over the fact that Sarkozy is going to raise the age of retirement from 60 to 62 (!!! Finnish people would be more than excited about that).

All these pictures are taken here in Lyon yesterday. I got them from here.







The main streets of the city look pretty much like this. Today I walked 5km from school to home because all the metro stations were inaccessible. Well, guess I have no choice but to stay home today (again) and wait for the situation to normalize. Le Figaro says that it's going to normalize within 5 days so let's hope for the best! Nice way to start the vacation :)

This video was shot here yesterday at Place Bellecour (one of the main areas here and the metro that I take to school everyday goes from here).
