we walked round the protest this morning, was pretty peaceful, word got about the police/army were going to move in and move them on. Was having a few beers in the afternoon when it all started, moved to hotel and heard gunfire and explosions. Went down for a look as you do and saw police, clouds of smoke and petrol bombs. Was pretty hairy stuff so took some pics etc and ran back and cowered in the hotel. Read now 11 dead including a Japanese media member.
