After dealing with the TSA, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to stay longer than necessary in any airport.
From China Daily:

“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.
Tourists stop to pose with him for photographs or get an autograph.”
I don’t get it. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

Would this be the next evolution from Hikikomori? Are manga cafes so casual that he had to choose the Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México?

Wow, with absolutely no sarcasm intended I think what he is doing is an inspiration.
