From a distance

I was waiting for my friend at a convenience store in Wanchai at 6.30. From a distance, I saw sth unusal about the hotel on the opposite side of the road. There was police car and restricted access to hotel. Immediately I thought that may be because of H1N1. My friend Mr. Chan crossed the road and I asked if he noticed that there were people with masks around him when he walked past the hotel entrance. Of course he did not notice. And before people rang me, I knew that there was a confirmed case in HK. Later I knew that a Mexican tourist arrived yesterday was hospitalised. The hotel staff and occupants were not allowed to go out. Actually Mr. Chan, Connie and I were planning to go to the Italian restaurant next to that conveniewnce store for dinner tonite. I found that restaurant a bit expensive and changed place at last moment.
