Time to whip out those masks!

Swine Flu has officially reached Tokyo. Great. I'm going there this weekend. In a city of 35 million people, one of the largest cities in the world, and my bad luck, I feel like I am bound to get it. I know it sounds pessimistic, but I really do have the worst luck sometimes! So how can I avoid it? Well, I've come up with a small list of ways to potentially avoid the virus:

• Wear a mask. Not just any mask, as there are heaps to choose from! I can go "designer" if I want to! See here: http://www.letsjapan.markmode.com/index.php/2009/05/03/fashionable-flu-filtering-face-masks-from-japan/
• Wear latex gloves.
• Bring hand sanitizer with me at all times.
• Pee in the bushes. Public facilities are loaded with germs that may be carrying the virus.
• Don't eat pork. (Ha!)
  

Off to the metropolis on Saturday! Wish me a safe and healthy trip.
