I have noticed large white tents around both the hilton and marriot over the last few days. Anyone know what they are for? It looks like they are for cars to go inside?

Just an update on this one, went to one of the hotels today and its like something from an Obama visit. Guards and security at every point, full car search including engine and boot then airport style scanner to get in the hotel.

You should have seen the taxi drivers going nuts as they had to get checked every time they came in lol

I just know you are over the road as we share the same "spots" like the car on fire, tents etc! Haha

Kaiser, where do you work? Are you in my building?
(well I'm only there a wee while longer)
