30th of November, my last day in Torino. It was an eventful day, so I'll need perhaps 3 blog entries to cover them all.
The morning was seemed uneventful, we were in a bus, heading to the Auditorium of the last pitching session.
We were about to reach the place until we got into the way of a huge group of protesting students. (they were protesting against the government-proposed education reforms where the private sector's given a lot more involvement in the state university system, it was a nationwide protest. There were protests in London too. More details here)

So we got off the bus and had to walk past the protesters.

Then, there were a group of clowns.
I watched them in action.

Having not seen that many protests of this sort, I felt excited, they reminded me of the mime troup in Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW-UP. Hell, everything just seemed like the opening of that film, and I was in it. Nice.
