* It's the norm in Japan to wear a mask if you have a cold or any other illness that you can pass on to others, at the same time it's popular to wear one in crowded areas when it is possible to pick up an airborne virus.

"Those who value friendship are true global citizens and creators of peace.
"Friendship exists between countries, too. Nations can have relationships based on politics and economy. Though such interactions are important, they are, by themselves, fragile, as powers and interests of countries can clash. That's why fostering friendship between nations on a grassroots level is vital. Ties forged through cultural and educational exchange between individuals, citizens, and youth of different countries are the foundation for unshakable peace."
