You will be all happy to know that I passed my learners license. It was much more difficult than expected and 2 people out of our group did not pass. So they had to go through the process again to rebook another test. Now if I can only pass the driving portion.
When we had finished our exam we were all waiting around to get the test results back when we heard all this shouting going on outside the testing centre. My first thought was there was a fight between one of the hawkers who are the street and a customer but then we saw about 100 kids marching down the street chanting. Thinking it was some kind of school event we watched until they were out of sight and though nothing of it. Soon we could hear glass breaking, more people shouting, and someone mentioned the word Riot. Marty, Kathryn, and Kimball went to check it out. The school kids who were about 12-15 years old were having a riot. Turns out the students were upset because the teachers confiscated their mobile phones since the students spent all their time in class texting and Facebooking and not learning. So the students decided a Riot was necessary. The police came and hauled all the kids off but they did a lot if damage to the street emptying garbage all over it, tons of broken glass, huge rocks through in the middle, car windows broken. I finally saw it on the way home after a lot of it had been cleaned up and it was still a disaster area. Makes it a bit worrying to think this is the future of this Country.
