Entry for September 22, 2007: And finally...

This is the last of my posts on the APEC nonsense that we suffered a few weeks back.
I’ve built one of these new fangle Google maps so that you can ‘wander’ around and see where the videos and photos were taken.
The pins can be clicked on and contain videos and photos.
The purple line is my route.

Click here to visit the Google map site.

There were cops on foot, cops on cycles, cops with a water cannon, cops riding motocross, and if not for the equine flu outbreak there would have been cops on horse back.
The only thing missing was cops on roller blades!

Where the heck did all these cops come from?
The tourists were in seventh heaven as there was a cop from who they could ‘ask for directions,’ every couple of meters or so.
That is unless an unfortunate tourist took a photo of THE FENCE and then the cops would swoop in and make the visitor delete the last couple of shots in the memory.

I travelled into the city on a bus, and over heard a family talking about attending the protest. I heard the mum describing what the protest was about and one child said ‘mom I don’t want them to use the water canon on me.’
