We still have a curfew although I don’t know how heavy handed they are at enforcing that, there still appears to be traffic around well after the 22:00 (10PM) deadline. I am told today is the last day of the curfew. The weekend appears to have gone off without a hitch, there were supposed to be protests in the city but they were a bit of a fizzle (or so we are told) some yelling and screaming but not too much excitement. Interestingly there the local media reported 100 at a protest yesterday whereas the Australian media reported 200. Still a small number but a 100% difference. Things are closing as close to the time they can to enable their staff to get home (usually 21:00 instead of the 20:00 on the first night). 7-11’s seem to have a lot of tourists in just before closing getting beer etc but there is plenty to go around now. There is still ‘security’ at the university but these guys do little more than more the barrier just before the car arrives so it doesn’t have to slow down too much
There was one difference. Uni and schools have closed as a byproduct. The markets around the university are empty. this one below is usually full of people. As you can see (at lunch time). Not exactly pumping.
