Yes, this would be a great great movie title! Plus, the casting would be so big that would beat any Hollywood super-production!"What the hell is he talking about?" you might ask. Well there's a national strike in France. At first you might consider that's normal, everyone has the right to strike, to fight for their rights.
But here, striking is a national sport because any reason is a good reason to stop working! :)
Today is a jeudi noir (french for "black Thursday"), which means almost everything will be closed, stopped or very very delayed. Some cities are more impacted than others, like Paris, where many people take their day off in the absence of public transportation.
Cars? Well, some people drive their way to the city, while others don't dare to face the traffic caos!
To make things even more interesting... I have a plane to catch tonight! Without trains and buses it will be difficult to reach the airport. And then I'll pray not to have my flight cancelled! ehehBesides transportation, you have all other services on strike too: postal services, hospital, schools, radio, TV, airports... even people who works on ski resorts (during the ski season, of course!). No matter what kind of service, you name it and for sure they're on too! eheheh
