TOKYO - Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture is a town always bustling with tourists and one of the most popular day-trip destinations for travelers staying in the Tokyo area. Some visitors to Hakone will notice a candy shop and rest spot decorated with "Star Wars" imagery. Unfortunately, the shop is now in the spotlight for a very different reason. According to a report by Asahi News, the owner put out a sign on Friday, Jan 17, which explicitly bans Chinese nationals from entering its premises, citing the Wuhan virus outbreak. The sign says: "Chinese are banned from entering" and "I'd hate to have the virus scattered about (here)." [ link to japantoday.com (secure)] |

The way Japanese, and even East Asian's mind's work, can be so amusing at times. This is going to piss the Chinese off, and eventually the shop owner will have a moment of cognition, and feel really stupid. |
