[Sangetsu]

I'm a foreigner here in Japan (and have been living here for more than a year), and so far I haven't seen or noticed any unusual behavior shown toward me or other foreigners. I don't have any trouble in restaurants, buses, or getting a taxi, and no other foreigners that I know have had any strange experiences yet.

The only places in Japan where there are a large concern are the Mexican restaurants. Never mind that these restaurants are in Japan, and the food is prepared by Japanese cooks from Japanese ingredients, for some reason people are afraid to eat there, and these restaurants are suffering. Go figure.

Be prepared to deal with the possibility of delay at the immigration area at the airport. All passengers are being viewed with infra-red cameras to see if they have elevated body temperatures (from fever possibly associated with swine flu).
