Very thoughtful post and I agree with you on some of your points.

This is a typical means of protest here and one of the few they have at their disposal. As a visitor caught up in it I'm sure I wouldn't appreciate being involved and inconvenienced but I get their plight and I respect it.

If this is the end product of the total fiasco that was imposed on the OB business people by the government, I don't blame them at all for being pi$$ed, as inconvenient as their actions may be to the average tourist.

I also agree that these protests are generally of short duration so I'm thinking it will be over before most even know it happened. Hopefully, those there can rearrange their needs and plans and work around it.

Sometimes on vacation we have to suck it up and deal with things. This, I'm thinking, will be one of those times. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
