That yellow flag you see in the news...

...for some odd fluke, the past 5 taxis that I've jumped in lately had a yellow flag. Even more interesting, tonight I went to have dinner with a friend, and the taxi driver had a picture of him and N_as_ra_llah shaking hands along with 5 other poster-type ones (the type that you would have posted in your office with your senator, president if you're lucky)

For a while now, I've strictly been known as an individual from a poor country in the Caribbean, who speaks to taxi drivers with a heavy accent.

This is getting interesting by the day. We hear vague reports of protests that are kept away from the news. We always seem to hear about them from other activist bloggers who have been known to get arrested.

There are certain social dynamics that make this place very unique in terms of reaction to all of this.
