    Whoring in Japan

    March 8, 2011 /

    A commenter on a post I wrote last year has summarized what it’s like to be professionally serviced in Japan, complete with typical prices and the phrase, “moistened antibiotic towelette.” How to pay for sexy sexual sex in Tobita Shinchi, Japan. ////////////// Note: I take no responsibility if you get frowned at, beaten, robbed, ganked, or infected with Jap ghetto cooties because you go somewhere you shouldn’t. That is all.

    Night Beer Hiking in Downtown Chiang Mai

    January 27, 2011 /

We went out…

    Tobita Shinchi Rap

    September 12, 2010 /

    I’ve been wanting to post this video for some time now, but forgot where I put the link. It is, quite simply, brilliant: For those who don’t know, Tobita Shinchi is one of the historical red light districts in Osaka. Located in Nishinari-ku, the brothels operate to this day, largely unaffected by anti-prostitution laws and the police. It is the largest brothel district in Kansai. The equivalent of madames stand in the genkan (entryways) of their homes and beckon passers-by to come in with clapping and hand gestures, ostensibly “for a meal” where they might just happen to “hit it off” with one of the young women living there. This…
