[floatr]Image[/floatr]FOXNews: Japanese Tourist Gains 'The Terminal' Celebrity Status After 3-Month Layover
Hiroshi Nohara is on a layover at the Mexico City airport. It has lasted almost three months, and he has no plans to leave. For reasons he can't explain, the Japanese man has been in Terminal 1 of the Benito Juarez International Airport since Sept. 2, surviving off donations from fast-food restaurants and passengers and sleeping in a chair. At first, he frightened passengers, and airport authorities asked the Japanese Embassy to investigate why the foul-smelling man refused to leave. Now, he's somewhat of a celebrity, capturing Mexico's collective imagination with nearly daily television news reports on his life at the food court..."I don't understand why I'm here," he said through a visiting interpreter originally hired by a television station. "I don't have a reason". The embassy can't force him to leave, and since Nohara's visa is valid all Mexican officials can do it wait for it to expire in early March...more...

Japan's Hiroshi Nohara says he can't explain it, but somehow he has been unable to leave Terminal 1 of Mexico City's main international airport after arriving Sept. 2. Since then, he has been surviving off donations from fast-food restaurants, sleeping in a chair and providing photo ops for various travelers.

Maybe by now, he picked up a few Spanish phrases and blended right in with the crowd.

AP: Man returns to Japan after stay at Mexico airport
A Japanese tourist who spent three months living in Mexico City's airport has returned home. Airport spokesman Victor Mejia says Hiroshi Nohara left Monday on a flight for Japan via San Francisco. Nohara arrived in Mexico City on Sept. 2 and spent the next three months at a food court in Terminal 1 of Benito Juarez International Airport. His residency there made him a local celebrity and Mexican news programs ran regular updates on his life. Nohara left the airport on Dec. 31 to stay with a woman who invited him to her Mexico City apartment. But Reforma newspaper reported that Nohara returned to the airport on Sunday carrying three plastic bags with his clothes and blankets.

I'd laugh if the Japan immigration mistakes his Japan citizenship and denies entry.
