This protest banner is just opposite the Taipei 101 building, that most visitors from China will visit. However, to be honest, I don't care about what the protest banner says, but the peace between China and Taiwan.

Protesters and onlookers run from tear gas at demonstration in Cairo reacting to the film Innocence of Muslims
This afternoon I decided to go out and take some photos. Just as I was about to ride out of the city, I looked behind me and saw a large group of people protesting about something. I decided to abandon my initial project for the day and follow the group instead.
From the pamphlets being distributed by the protesters, and word of mouth, I determined that this was essentially a protest about an eviction. There is a house in the centre of Leiden that, for the past 40 years, has been occupied by squatters. During the 40 years they have been there, the building became somewhat of a cultural centre. Just recently, the local Council decided to evict them: and today they peacefully expressed their objection to the Council's proposal.
I started following the protest from the intersection of the Hooigracht and Nieuwe Rijn, and followed them down Nieuwe Rijn to the Herengracht. From the Herengracht, they turned left along Oude Rijn and into the Haarlemmerstraat. From the Haarlemmerstraat, they travelled up to the Prinsessekade and onto the Breestraat. While travelling down the Breestraat, they stopped and made a point outside the Town Hall, before making their way back to Hooglandse Kerkgracht and the building in question.
This man was probably one of the oldest involved in the demonstration.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
