Took a walk through Kabukicho with a few buddies of mine a while back. Japanese houses are very lightweight and usually just made entirely of wood. Pretty easy to bring down for a constructicon. ^^.
tkyosam terrorizes one of the local residents while her royal highness youtube queen applemilk1988 looks on. ^^.
The last time I was in Kabukicho, I was on a missing to do something naughty. Those were some good times with friends who have since left Tokyo.
Walking by a host club. Looks pretty quiet outside in the daytime. Maybe things are more happening inside. Have you been to one?
I have nothing against hosts. I think it’s a pretty good business to be in. If you’re really good at it, you can make loads of money and even get showered with gifts… which you can also pawn for more cash.
I for one would make a horrible host. I can’t even handle one girl, yet alone 3-4 at a time. ^^. Seems like that industry is out for me.
There’s this thing about hosts that pipped my curiosity though. Why do they all look and dress alike? Is that what the ideal man would look like for most Japanese women?
For those interested, 見学自由 means “you are free to come in for a tour”. I don’t think it means you get a “free tour” though. ^^.

Kabukicho can be a hell of a lot of fun. You never know what is going to happen.

There was a host club right across from my favorite cafe in Koriyama-shi….
My host sister was embarrassed to take me to the cafe because of it!
It’s a really “hush hush” thing for some Japanese.
But I don’t think it’s a bad thing.
I was joking one day,
and told my host sister that when I move back one day,
I would be a host if I couldn’t find another job.
She was horrified!
It was pretty funny!
Ps,
I have a blog now.
(:
