Swine flu outbreak (4)
I saw my first face mask on the streets of London today. Is this where we’re all going? Has this happened where you live?
The mask wearer was clearly a newcomer (he was pulling a suitcase on wheels) and from Asia (he looked Japanese to me).
It reminded me of when my wife and I visited Chobe National Park in Botswana. We had a good laugh when we saw an open vehicle full of Japanese tourists – in spite of the strong heat, they all wore coats and, because they did not like the dust, they all had face masks.
