#1300 American,

Probably not. Before that, the area of the face in a 2" x 2" photo is also defined, so the bottom of the photo would be just below the collarbone and above, and the text on the t-shirt, etc. would not fit. If you intentionally put text in the shirt neck area below the chin, it will be automatically rejected.

As mentioned in another topic, the new pneumonia is again from China, which is a monkey-proof country, so there is a possibility of a pandemic more than the SARS outbreak. Also, Chinese tourists are now spreading all over the world, so we cannot underestimate that it is a fire on the other side of the river here in LA.

I am also going to Japan this May, but I am getting worried if I can actually go. A cheapskate was happy that he bought a round-trip ticket for less than $500, but since the ticket is non-refundable and non-changeable, ・ I'll be throwing away less than $500 if I can't make it.

Well, I'm also a no-brainer, so I'll simply give up even if the worst happens. Anyway, I will soon have to make reservations for domestic flights, hotels ・ hostels ・ and capsule hotels. The price of cheap accommodation will go up as the Olympics approach, so the next two weeks will be critical.

It must be terrifying to have all the transportation shut down and lose your means of travel.

I think it will be over by May when the temperatures warm up.

I surely hope so.

～ Nah. I think we have a little over 3 months to go...didn't it take about that long for SARS to subside?
Perhaps the peak is well past and the traffic shutdowns are gone.

Even at the airport, we had to walk on disinfectant mats during mad cow disease, and
during febrile disease, we had to pass by a camera that detected the heat on a person's face.

I walked through with a smile on my face and a "Hi" with my hands up. ^^;

I use the reservation sites "Jalan" or "Rakuten Travel" when I stay in Japan. Both of them give points for the room charge. I have only accumulated a few hundred points so far, and since I haven't had a chance to use them for a year, they should have all disappeared last month, but the other day I received an email from Jalan saying that they will give me 1,600 points for the limited points, which expire on February 29th.

Until then, I had been thinking of booking my stay around 3 months in advance, but the deadline was near and I made a reservation right away. I had been planning to make a reservation about 3 months in advance, but I made a reservation as soon as the deadline was near.

3,700 yen x 2 nights = 7,400 yen
point 1,600 yen
total ： 5,800 yen.

This capsule hotel is close to Haneda Airport, and on the days when we fly to Shikoku, we take the first flight in the morning (07:00), so it has a good location. Instead, it is a narrowly enclosed room with bunk beds on both sides, with only four beds per room. The entrance to the hole is also square and about 40% of the horizontal line of the longer bed, making it very easy to enter and exit.
