Japanese Would Not Leave Mexico Airport Food Court

Hiroshi Nohara arrived in Mexico’s Benito Juarez International Airport on September 2 and has not left since, sleeping over in the Airport.

It is difficult to make sense of his behaviour:

"I do not understand why I am here," Mr Nohara, who is originally from Tokyo, told a local television station through an interpreter. "I don't have any reasons."

Mr Nohara holds a valid visa and local authorities admit they have no reason to force him to leave. All they can do is wait for the paperwork to expire in March. In the meantime, Mr Nohara has become famous and is regularly featured on local television. After three months of living rough, however, Mr Nohara is looking decidedly dishevelled. His beard and hair unkempt and his clothes are in need of a wash. Some people using the food court have complained that he needs a shower.The quietly spoken Mr Nohara replies that he just wants to be left alone and preferred it when he was not in the media spotlight.

His story seems to be the opposite of The Terminal, a 2004 movie where Tom Hanks plays an Eastern European man trapped on NYC’s JFK by a revolution in his homeland and is denied departure by authorities.
