Thanks LilyMop. One day at a time I think is all we can do. It is impossible to plan when everything feels so uncertain.I was talking to another expat here and we both had noticed what is going on with the Christmas decorations here, Usually by now, everyone would be buying decorations. Instead, there are displays are full, products are being sold for 50-60% off and people are barely looking at them. Everyone is more concerned with stocking up on food, wáter and other household supplies in case the supermarkets shut down again.

Apart from being anxious I am sad. Sad, to see this country I have called home for many years in this state. Even if the violence stopped tomorrow, the country has been set back decades. Most people protesting just want better living conditions, which I can completely understand. Sadly, there are always criminals that take advantage of the protests to loot and burn. I feel like our lives are being held hostage to them.
