Hello from Airplane

　　
I’m not online now, but I’m typing this on the airplane from Seattle to Tokyo.
It was the strangest thing. Before we took off, the flight attendants began to pass out lots of forms for us to fill out – the usual customs forms – immigration forms for non-Japanese passengers… Then, we heard an announcement from the purser saying “When we arrive in Tokyo, some Japanese health ministry people will come onto the plane to take everyone’s temperature. Then they’ll hand out a mask for each passenger to wear in Japan.”
A MASK?!
As horrible imaginations of each passenger looking like a US president or Sailor Moon, I recalled that there was such thing as a mask to prevent spreading of diseases. Not all masks are for Halloween! Was I the only one who thought of that and laughed? Or the guy in front of me also had the same image and that’s why he laughed?! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………….
Jut for your information, if I need to pick a Halloween mask, I’d pick a lion in the honor of the Sphinx I will meet again in a few weeks. If they don’t have a lion mask, I’ll try to get a dog mask to pay respect to my brown furry dog friend, who remembered me although it had been a long time since we met last.
