Fisherman snafu-ed center Paris yesterday, around the 7th, even closing down the Varennes station, protesting the higher price of diesel, having moved on from the strike of last week over the price of cabillaud.
I'm staying close to home today as there are demonstrations at 18:00 although I have not yet heard exactly where.
The RATP, RER, SNCF, and many unions of Air France are striking since last night at 8:00 PM to Friday morning. This pretty much covers all modes of transportation except for taxis so depending on feet is best bet today, although I suppose subways and buses are functioning normally.
This on top of the fact that I still have no internet connection even though I ordered it over a month ago makes me wonder about a new categorization for third world, because it is about 10 times faster to get a line in India.
