Obama is here next week , most of the city will be closed down public transport disrupted, some Metro stations closed, you have to show identification just to walk along some streets, friends who live anywhere near the US Embassy will need to go through checkpoints just to get home.
The US embassy is one of the only Embassys which still is in the city centre here, the apartments next to it are impossible to sell, if you want to have a friend roound for coffee, you have to inform the security of the embassy, no drop ins for a quick cuppa.
Won't be going to the bank on that date as my branch is 'in the zone', just needed to have a rant folks xx
