Private!!

When you enter Japan you have to fill out a information card at the airport. Although it was my first flight time I knew that this card would ask you for personal things. When I arrived Fukuoka Airport I already saw the airport staff handing out these cards. Of course I never did experiences with filling out such sheets. Suddenly I got shocked when I saw the blank "sex". I went to the staff and explained that I don't want to give intimate information about me. I could see confusion in their eyes.... ^^ "It means are you male or female", they said. How embarrassing, next time I'll be better prepared.
