If you follow common sense rules, like washing your hands and not standing next to someone sneezing and sputtering away, you have a better chance of being killed by Godzilla than by this flu.

“In the meantime, we would like you to come and enjoy the food here.”

ofcourse people in Osaka are not scared of flu, they are 'takumashii' (sturdy) and enjoy eating tako yaki meshi dango yaki....!

According to the organizer, the food fair is Japan’s largest and last year drew 660,000 visitors. Because the event is held once in four years, some people refer to it as a “food Olympics.”

Did they mean to say "last time" in that paragraph?? Maybe I didn't pay enough attention in math class but I was under the impression that last year wasn't four years ago! lol

Should be worth checking out!! Love the fairs!
