G20 Summit in London

Today, April 2, 2009, is a one of the remarkable day in the history. Why? I think most of you guys must have heard of the G20 summit in London. It is the biggest meeting of 20 world's leaders ever since WWII. The meeting is held at the Excel Centre not so far away from where i live, just the other side of river Thames... Lol

The purpose of this meeting is to deal with the global financial melt down. However, the meeting is not going to be held easily as there were lots of demonstration prior to the meeting. Yesterday, there were thousands of people doing demonstrations under different campaigns from stop the war, to climate change. They were saying that the meeting is just a waste of money and only benefit the rich not the poor. They don want the government to use the money of the tax payer to bail out banker again. The demonstration also went violence in front of the Bank of England.

Unfortunately, yesterday I had to go to uni for my mid-term exam. It is a bit scary though cos not so far away from my uni there is a demonstration going on. My uni is not so far away from the US embassy and near to the Buckingham palace. There were not many people on the street, bus, tube. No one wearing smart clothes or office suite as there was advice from the police to all the office worker to dress down for that day. The reason was they don want to be the target of the Anti-capitalism demonstration.

So, is there any demonstration going on over there?
