the french do it the best!

if you think i'm talking about sex.. well, maybe they are romantic, but there's something they definitely do better than the REST of the world!! that's going on strike! haha..

"en raison d’un mot d’ordre de grève, les programmes habituels de RFI peuvent être perturbés."

translation: in reason of an order of the strike, the usual programmes of RFI can be interrupted.

yes, even the radio presenters go on strike too.. so that's why i keep hearing only music when i tune in to their online radio station.. i kept wondering why they keep playing music when it's an information channel rather than a music channel, even at every hour when i expected to hear news, i only get some programmed voices reporting the time that's all..

apparently, they are on strike because the government is going to cut down the subsidies of the radio stations or something.. that i need confirmation..

but then again, it's the french.. they can happily work for their employers for one minute and go on strike against their government the next.. haha..

disruptive, maybe.. mais c'est la vie de france.. i have never seen a strike while i was in france, but during my last few days in france, i heard that my hosting university need to drive all the way to airport charles de gaulle because the train drivers were on strike.. haha.. lucky buggers, i paid $44 or that trip from paris to troyes, lugging behind me 2 suitcases.. man..
