How could this happen? I am shocked

News from our part of the world:

Guangdong on alert after Hong Kong bird flu case

The key part, from another article:

The boy, who lives with his parents and maternal grandmother in the Haizhu district of Guangzhou, had visited a wet market on Nanyuan Street in mid May where his mother had bought a live duck.

Ah yes.We live in the Haizhu district, and I think that market is about a mile and a half down the street.

One of the consulate guys in our building was shocked - shocked! - that it can happen here. "With the public urination, heat, trash piliing up in the trash cans, and everyone spitting - it's hard to believe this can happen!!"

/sarcasm off
