Majdan is famous since the 2004 and the orange revolution. Since November 2013 and February 2014 it is the point of interest of euro-majdan protests. Many self-made ostructions and isolated castles are on the square since the protests.
Thousands of protesters marched through downtown Chicago on Sunday in one of the city's largest demonstrations in years, airing grievances about war, climate change and a wide range of other complaints as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit.
The protest, which for months had stirred worries about violence in the streets, drew together a broad assortment of participants, including peace activists joining with war veterans and people more focused on economic inequality.
Hundreds of protesters gathered late Sunday night near the Art Institute of Chicago as first lady Michelle Obama hosted a dinner for spouses of NATO leaders inside. At least 100 Chicago police officers in riot gear were also at the scene.
Later in the day, we drove by once more to find that there were, in fact, some actual protestors. Sadly I cannot read any Thai, so if I hadn't already read the paper, I wouldn't have known what the protest was about.

After yesterday's ruling that the "eviction" stands, and a park full of people as we drove by last night on our way back into town, the Occupy Toronto village is still solidly entrenched in St. James Park.
Some tents have been removed. The Yurts are being taken down and the kitchen has been removed to protect valuables. The city has provided trucks to help people move their gear.
But the park still has residents in it. The media still surrounds the park. The signs have taken a much more militant spin.
The Library is no longer Open and is now barricaded. Other structures have barricades around them too.
I would love to see this end peacefully.
Please. Everyone.
Peacefully!
