I wrote an essay for japanese class on how abbreviations are used on Japanese soapland-sites. There's this site called Yoshiwara Furo-Navi that lists all Tokyo area soaplands and arranges them by reputation and price-range. I hang out there from time to time, checking prices, looking at the girls and reading profiles. Thinking. Soaplands aren't really aimed at women. There used to be one in Osaka, I think, that was primarily for women and employed "soap boys" instead of "soap ladies".
Some of the girls are decidedly hot, so it chagrins me to quite some degree that they're in a line of work that entails having to scrub dirty old men down with their breasts. Probably I'm just jealous.
We we're writing our essays in the uni library, me and two guys from the same class. One of them I'm rather chummy with after last year when we hung out together at almost very class. He also helped me with some difficult abbreviations...
I was looking at Furo-Navi's featured girl of the week, the very fetching Riona, 23 years old, from the Blue Lagoon. He came to show me his essay, and I showed him Riona. "You gonna buy her?" he asked me. If it only were so simple... "Nuh," I said, "there are things to consider, like price and location. 130 minutes for 30 000 yen sounds reasonable". Actually, that's pretty cheap rather than reasonable. The place where Riona works at charges 29 800 yen for 70 minutes at regular hours, tax included. Anyway, I'm not writing this down as an advert for Blue Lagoon (4th Senzoku district number 41-11 in Tokyo's Taito ward), or to establish myself as a dirty old man. I'm writing this to remind myself that one day, when my monthly scholarship allowance comes in, I will at least try to visit a soapland. And a hostess bar. I wonder how much they charge for a bottle of Cristal, since I heard something about hostesses doing a little routine whenever punters order Cristal. Would a months allowance cover it, if I only ate rice and egg for the rest of the month?
Oh yeah, and a maid cafe...
This is my life. I can write endlessly about translating grunts, pants and huffs, and here I am, making excuses for looking at pretty ladies.
P.S.
How can I write an entry about soaplands without giving a shoutout to the lovely Eri and Alice at Buckingham (special internet campaign offer of 130 minutes/30 000 yen, call and say the magic words "I was going through your site...", Taito ward, 4th Senzoku district number 20-8), or Sara, with the innocent-sweet girl-next-door looks at Chagall (Taito, Senzoku 4th, 42-10), only 148 cm tall, she can make even the shortest man feel like a hulking brute.
