Strike? What do you do?

When you are a student, and your fellow students vote to hold a strike, what do you do? Do you go to class anyway? Work on homework? Just stay home and use the day to sleep in? Here are some sights and images from today at the engineering campus - Beauchef - of the University of Chile.


"TODAY : ENGINEERS ON STRIKE"


"BEAUCHEF, AWAKE! THE L.O.C.E. IS NOT DEAD (BUT) (RE)NAMED L.G.E. FOR HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO REMAIN (IDLE) WITHOUT ACTING?"


This one's tough (it's all slang). "STOP LOOKING AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, CHILD... SELF-MANAGE THE WORK, RECOVER OUR LIFE" (if you speak spanish and have any suggestions for a better translation, let me know!)



Playing football.



Having an asado (a cook-out, or bar-b-que).



Lounging in the grass.



Talking with friends.

'Pendejo' may mean something different in Chile. In Mexican slang it's roughly the equivalent of 'asshole.' The actual dictionary definition is something altogether different. :)
