I was in Japan when the swine flu broke out, and really, there was no big problem. I didn&#039;t see Kaiji Moriyama dance though.... &gt;.&lt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll try to keep it short:

I live and work in Kyushu. At a JHSchool.

-Kids don&#039;t wash their hands in the winter because the water is ice-cold and the soap consists of bars that scrape any skin remaining from the frigid temps off. Kinda-sorta can&#039;t blame them, but ewww....

-No one has taught the adults or children that sneezing and coughing into one&#039;s elbow is better than sneezing or coughing into another&#039;s face. My face feels dirrrrrrrty in cold/flu season. Icky.

***(Next point is SUPER gross, proceed with caution)

Everyone seems to think it&#039;s better to snort their half-dried snot back up into their sinuses, loudly and in public, rather than blowing their nose and being done with it. The amount of people that end up sick the entire winter seems astronomical, likely because they don&#039;t expel the nasty that is keeping them congested. Why they find this public, LOUD, snorting-of-nasty to be acceptable, well, that&#039;s for you to judge. Hate to think it&#039;s doctor-approved.....shudder......

I personally don&#039;t bother at all with a face mask, which hoards of people negatively judge me for, I&#039;m sure. But, I&#039;m not the dumb-ass who&#039;s sick all winter with some sort of months-long congestion, either. I take care of myself, thanks:

-Use a humidifier at night.

-Take ONE F-ING DAY (more than that, I&#039;m begging you...) of sick leave if you&#039;re sick and sleep it off, if nothing else.....plz don&#039;t come to work, sick, dribbling nasty all over the place and looking miserable. F-ing take a day off, fo&#039; serious. Damn.

-Just don&#039;t touch your face. At all. If a virus gets anywhere near your face, one of the many membranes there will take it in an get you sick. Just don&#039;t touch your face, right-o!

&#039;k, I&#039;m done. It&#039;s been a looooong, nasty-filled winter. let spring and its lovely pollen and mold enchant us all.

(I love Japan, btw, but it felt SO GOOD to type the above out. Thanks for reading this far down....)]]></description>
