massive protests all over the country

bet most of my readers are enjoying their holidays during May Day..
but it is different here.. we still have lessons and something else......
remember wat i said abt liberalism in this city?
well.. this afternoon when i was walking down to the student centre to pick up my bus stamp..
i met a group of immigrants who were protesting against "tighter restrictions on immigration"
luckily it was a rather peaceful protest.. when compared to chicago...

nevertheless, it was interesting to watch this group of pple.. shouting mottos.. encouraging pple to join them.. n drivers honking while passing to support the protest..
guess the car horn does serve a good purpose... :P

however, it was disappointed by the scale of the event.. only 30+ pple.. not like those in other cities.. most probably.. most of the students were not directly by immigration issues.. or they were ignorant of the issues (like me!)..

i will watch out for another protest.. n will bring camera along to capture the 'experience'..
