This week's guest post comes from Lisa, a personal friend and the mind behind ichigoichielove (which is great, by the way). She writes:
There are many things I do in Japan that I wouldn’t do elsewhere (at least not without feeling like a total freak)—and one of those is wearing a surgical mask in public. I often get asked why Japanese people wear them, as in most Western countries wearing a mask like that either means you’re a surgeon about to operate, a dentist, or you’re highly infectious and anyone who comes within a meter of you will contract whatever it is you have, and will die.
