One-day strike in France - Black Tuesday

Of all the times why should this strike should happen while I’m in Paris. As I have come on a 5 day assignment to Paris the first day had a bad weather, the second day is a strike. Let me see how well the next 3 days are going to be. Paris metro lines are the most affected by the strike and we need to admit that these people do the strike in style. Life is really in a stand still. I’m always lucky, the office I work is away from the city so we drive out of the city and hence the traffic is less, Otherwise while I was coming in the morning could see miles & miles of traffic jam in the oncoming. Some times the sight is so nice to see in the dark at 6.30 in the morning, it was like on a floor if u have strewn some light emitting droplets. There is an interesting story in the strike, as the French government plans to sell off the SNCM ferry firm which had led to greater unrest in Marseille, what did was took one of the ferry and stopped it in the mid between the main land and the island of Corsica. Thousands of tourists are stranded on the island of Corsica for several days. Indians way to go to learn how to do a strike ;-)
