When I was making my morning rounds on the third floor, I happened to look out of the window. It was a nice day and a little hot. I really felt that I'd like to go out and ride my motorcycle. At that exact moment I saw two people walking to a car like ants gathering around candies. The car was a moving stall. The two people were my co-workers. It was more than one hour left until lunch time. They had sneaked out of the hospital and had been waiting for the opening of the stall. It was intersting and really funny that they didn't know that I, the head nurse, and another staff member were observing them from the 3rd floor. They must have thought they had successfully slipped out and no one knew where they were. The picture shows them and the stall that is getting ready to open.
I didn't know about the moving stall, but the owner of the stall appears to be famous. The menu he presents is only two kinds. One of them is Thai-style vegetable curry and seems to be very popular.
Anyway today's targets of the owner must have been my staff members and his tricks turned out to be completely successful. Next time he comes here, I'll try it.
