Why is it that – it is only socially acceptable for Asians to wear facemasks in public?
Hmmm…food for thought.
I’ll keep you posted (irregularly obviously!)

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.

Hi Maddie… you’re worth a couple of minutes of my lunch hour…

Maybe in Asian countries there is a better focus on politeness, and how impolite it is to share your germs.

mmm..curious question. It may be the western focus on looking into people’s faces is polite whereas the asian focus tends to be that it is not polite to look into someone’s eyes/face.
otherwise, dunno. enlighten me.

Asians in asian countries or in Australia?
Obviously the Asians in Australia are bringing a habit from their homeland… Asians (in Asia) are pedantic about public health etc (which is a good thing I suppose)… and the rest of the world knows that, so expects it I guess.
But I don’t think it’s *only* socially acceptable for Asians, especially with this whole swine flu thing.

I brought some home from work, but I couldn’t bring myself to wear them, even with my severe phobia of sick people.
