Today I had the honor to be a part of one of the biggest protests in Brazilian history. The overall reason to said protests is due to the rise of the bus fare from R$2,75 to R$2,95. Now, I know that 20 cents isn't anything at all, but due to the inflation rising beyond the charts, we Brazilians have decided to react.

Here in Rio de Janeiro, today (June 17th, 2013) 100k people gathered at the city center to protest. Most of said people were uni students, including myself.

 

The older generations say that we're lazy. 

They're wrong.
