What Happens?

What happens when you live in a third world country and your corrupted government decides one day that they want to double the prices of gas and sugar? Riots....yep, apparently that's the only way that people in a non-democrative country know to make their voices heard. So yesterday was an interesting day, but everyone is fine. The activity was mainly focused in the downtown area, but just to be safe, we pretty much stayed home for most of the day. Today we'll stay close to home, avoid large and angry looking crowds, and only run the necessary errands. I don't even know if this made the news in the states or not, but for anyone who heard about it, it's not a huge deal and we're all just fine.
