Golden Week in Japan, like many Japanese who spent their holiday abroad rather travelling across Japan, I spent my holiday in Hongkong and a couple of days in my hometown, Philippines. So far the busiest holiday I had. When I left Japan, I had a slight fever, but shouganai ne, everything's fixed and I don't want to mess things up. The day after I came to the Philippines, together with my family we flew to HK for our 4 days holiday. First, we visited HK Disneyland but the weather was not so good for me to appreciate it that much but I enjoy Disneys shows especially Lion King. I haven't been to TDR yet but my friends told me it's way far better than HKD. But soon I'll pay a visit. Next day we had a city tour, and at night we had a cruise tour, for us to enjoy the famous symphony of lights. I had so much fun in this tour. 3rd day is Ocean adventure and last day off course shopping. After my HK trip, I spent my remaining 5 days in the Philippines, every day I have different gigs, we went to 100 Islands and spent 2 days in the island. It was memorable for me. For dinner my grandmother served a grilled squid, we ate so much I guess on that night, so the morning I woke up my stomach is aching. I was like back and forth to the toilet, so I realized that it was just diarrhea, my sister was also in the same situation as I am at that moment. I was trying to stabilize my condition so I can join my family for an island hopping but the pain really gets me, I come to the point of vomiting, it was the first time for me to experienced such things. I refused to join my family for our island hopping and insisted to just stay, my sister joined them. I lay on bed, started to get chills and kept on vomiting. Our driver stayed so he can look after me, he was so worried, he kept on sending text messages on my aunt, detailing my condition. Since, the area is secluded with no establishments around, finding a drugstore is really difficult. My family really tried hard to find a store so they can buy medicine. When my family came back after their island hopping my grandmother immediately assist me in taking the medicine. I was surprised to know that my sister was also experiencing the same thing, she even collapsed and can't even stand on her own, my uncle just carry her on to the boat and until the house. In a short time I started to feel better. Since my sister is prone to sickness, despite the medicine her condition was unchangeable. Going back home, my sisters condition got worsed. As we get closer to our house we decided to take her in to the hospital. Me and my grandmother accompanied my sister to the Emergency room, the doctors decided to confine her to the hospital due to a severe diarrhea. By 12 midnight, I decided to go back home to have a rest for my flight tomorrow. Early morning, my aunt in Japan called asking my condition. Due to the outbreak of swine flu, security measures in the airport is very strict. I was lucky to be seated in a Business class, so the service is really good, thus help to ease my poor condition, after meal they serve ice cream for dessert, thinking it can help to lower my temperature, so I ate a lot. In Chubu Airport, the first airport procedure is the health check up, the line was really long, medical officials were really scrutinizing every passengers about their health issues. As I get closer, I am nervous at the same time my mind keeps on thinking what to do, if I were to say the truth about my condition or just lie, as I passed the ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensator), I am still wondering if it detected my fever, the officer just look at the paper that I submitted then say OK, whoosh! Thank God, I wasn't quarantine.
新型インフルウェんザ(Shin Gata Influenza) H1N1 swine flu is rising rapidly across Japan, making it the fourth-most infected country in the world, after Mexico, the United States and Canada.
Most of those infected are thought to be students in the Hyogo and Osaka prefectures in western Japan.
Experts believe the virus spread quickly between the two urban areas after high schools in Kobe and Osaka met for a volleyball tournament.
Kobe High School, along with nearly 1500 other schools in Hyogo, has now been closed, and several hundred more are closed in Osaka.
Japan has also established testing centres at airports, and is encouraging high risk groups to wash their hands frequently and wear masks.
Even in the sporting arena, steps have been taken to reduce the potential for infection.
At a national sumo wrestling competition in Tokyo on Sunday, officials sprayed disinfectant on the hands of every spectator as they arrived.
People routinely wear face masks on public transport to prevent the spread of coughs and colds.
