Gosh...it's so weird to be in a country when there are strikes going on! A few days ago, I was watching the news in the gym, and I saw trucks blocking the roads. The government brought out the military. I believe a few people were slightly injured...
I pray that all the students get back to Cordoba safely today.
Right now, from 8-8:15, the whole country is uniting in trying to tell the government and the farmers to come to an agreement. For 15 minutes, people around the country are doing three things 1) turning off all their house lights, 2) hitting pots/pans, 3) honking their car horns. It's sooo loud outside.
On Saturday, Shivani and I counted about 50 cars waiting in line to fill up gas. I just got a text from Shivani saying that today she counted 72 cars waiting in line!!!!
Shiv and I decided to interview someone at the back of the line on Saturday. The guy we chose to interview works for Schlumberger, and he goes to Sugar Land every few months! How crazy is that! We talked outside and then had coffee in the nearby cafe.
When I went to the grocery store, there were limits on the amount of food you can buy. Most said that you can take a maximum of three units per family for items like bread, milk, eggs, and much more. There was no vegetable oil. It was so strange...
Pray that there will be peace between the farmers and the government.
