White Ninjias...

Here above you can see what i call a "White Ninjia". It is common to wear face masks when going around the city. The reason Europeans would think is "They don't want to get sick" actually, in japan, is the opposite: Who is Sick, wears the Mask. The reason is so that when getting to the office, if you are sick, you don't make everybody catch your flu.

I really wish there was something like this in Switzerland too!! Many, but Maaany times i caught the cold from colleagues just sneezing around. This is partly ma fault, as i basically catch it quite easily :'(... where are my antibodies?...who knows... holiday perhaps? No idea...

Some of you might know that i have quite an allergy during spring time. Most people enjoy flowers... but i don't. I spend spring time usually inside and going for a walk is out of discussion if i don't want to come home with swollen eyes and red nose. Medicines helps a little but when is too much... they can't help anymore.

So, i said to myself: Even it looks kind of awkward to wear a mask, here everybody is doing it! Let's try it out ;)

So, during my trip to nara, in the woods, i did wear a mask. Guess what?... nobody cared, i actually looked kind of funny... but my nose was really happy ...you can't tell from the pic, but it really was ;)
