Bamboo Fortress

I got some pictures of the bamboo-tire fortress. Bizarre huh?





I attended a town hall meeting sponsored by the American Embassy to discuss the current situation. There were 600 Americans attended. As you can imagine, there were some real nut jobs there too.

It was interesting, but no extra insight.

Here are some take aways...to get the anxiety flowing
- avoid protest tourism- no problem!
- have 72 hours worth of food/water
- have a contingency plan- i hope the ambassador doesn’t mind that my plan is to go to his house- he's my neighbor. I wonder how that would work out.
-leave if you don’t feel safe
