A continent of germaphobes


This add pretty much sums up the whole of SE Asia. They're scared stupid of germs. Everyone wears masks on planes, buses, trains, etc. I figure if everyone else has a mask on, I don't need one.

Upon landing in Tokyo our plane was swarmed by a legion of hazmat-clad health inspectors who looked each person over looking for pig flu symptoms. I thought of bringing a pig-snout mask to wear but couldn't find it. In Singapore our temperature was taken by heat sensors as we came down the escalator into customs!
