Having watched the recent news of strikes in Paris, I FB messaged Amélie out of concern.
Me: Bonjour Amélie... Have seen in the news these days about the strikes in Paris. I hope you are not affected. Take care ...
Amélie: Don't worry.I was in strike today also !! We have a few probelms with MRT (metro) and fuel for cars but I have no car ;-) Will see the news tonight, a lot of student are in the street and sometimes there are violence at the end of those days with policemen. But now I am at home and I'm going to take a very hot bath because here it's cold now !!!!
So my friend was (is) in strike too... Obviously we've very different culture... I don't understand why they've to go on strikes, just like they don't understand how we can be so submissive to every implementation by the government. Well.....
