Junk WTO!

I felt like I had already been apart of the scene in Wan Chai today when WTO protesters had their first march Sunday afternoon. Everything from the face paint, bright t-shirts, coordinated cheers/chants, speakerphones and mood felt familiar. It was almost just like Frosh Week.

I think many were dissapointed that the turnout wasn't more than the approximately 3,500 (depending on who you ask) people. Some groups were somber but most marched with a festival attitude. Excitement overshadowed the nervousness of the 9,000 officers watching from all angles. It will be an interesting week.

I'll post pictures later.
