Slow Day at the Office

Here we are on the eve of Yemen's first ever bonafide democratic election. The place is, understandably, in a bit of a stir. We understood that attendance would be low today. The other teachers have reduced classes as expected. But my students... they just didn't show up at all. So the director and I (that's him in the corner), we... well, you can see for yourself.
Anyway... the president's been in power for thirty years, and nobody expects that to change tomorrow. Having an election is still kind of cool though - especially for a place that has "Democratic Republic" in its name - and the people here are excited. Good for you, Yemen, good for you.
