I thought I would attach this exciting photo of the tyre burnage that occurred outside my office yesterday! Alas I only caught the end of it, but I think the tyres must have been spread out across the road. Why was tyre burning going on? hmm apparently cos we have water shortages... that is nothing new, I'm guessing it was a localised dispute but who knows!!
also I think I mentioned how some people are stockpiling food because of all the strikes/blockades in the south of the country stopping imports from India. I haven't really been too sure what the best policy is... I mean stockpiling seems drastic, and there are no signs of shortages yet (well aside from petrol and gas), anyways today we got an official email from the highs upon high at work recommending we get in 6-8 weeks of supplies. Crikey!
So, well better safe than sorry... I toodled to the shop on the way home and bought up a stack of rice, flour, tuna and pasta (shells, twists and bows - I resisted the children's pasta with cars, and tractor shapes... it was highly exciting, but twice the price!) Not enough food for 6-8 weeks (I don't think I could carry that much food home from the shops!) but I don't think I will starve, I mean I could always break into my earthquake preparedness kit which has even more supplies in... and I figure I'm coming home in 12 days so worst comes to worst I will export tesco pasta back here when I return!
