Swine flu

In recent weeks, it appears that there are a lot of reports from around the world with regard to swine flu. Here in Perth, as there is no direct flight from the U.S. or Mexico, we do not have much tense feeling. Having said that, there are some suspected cases reported in Western Australia too. The Australian government has implemented thermal scanners at its major international airports.

I have a client who had planned to visit Perth but have cancelled his trip to Perth totally. When he called me about his cancellation, I wanted to say to him, "I am living in Australia! The very destination you have just cancelled to go to." Of course, I shut my mouse and said, "I am looking forward to your next visit" and hung up the phone.

After the call, I thought to myself. "Wait a minute, I am actually very lucky that he has cancelled his trip to Perth, as I will not need to look after him." Sometimes in life, something unexpected happens at an unexpected occasion.
