Dobutsuen mae.

Repeat after me...
Doe-bu-zi-yen ma-eh...
The email regarding my stay in Hotel Mikado...
says...2mins walk from Dobutsuen mae station.

And it means..."In front of the zoo".
I did not realise that until I saw the translation on the railway signboard.
Thanks.

Yes...I live in the zoo zoo zoo...
How about you you you??

2 mins from in front of the zoo..is not a ZOO.
It is my hotel Mikado which cost 2300 yen.
And along the road...I saw many other way CHEAPER HOTELS!
1500 yen....1800yen...
DAMN...
Hotel Mikado better be GREAT or I will be ANGRY!


By the way...it is a HOTEL not a Hostel
And so I thought I should enjoy my rights to the fullest...
Since i paid 2300yen for it.
First thing first, I had a room all to myself.
GOOD.

Then, I went to the public bath...
I did not know it was public when I was at the door...
I mean..when I open the door...
And I saw naked women bathing....
WAT!!!??
I closed the door.
Open again...
And closed.
Hmmm...I need to bath.
Means I need to strip.
And it took my a few seconds to think...
And I cannot think for a while...
Finally...I went in , in my birthday suit...
And start my unusual experience of a traditional japanese public bath...
ok...this part...please see the post below below....

And other facilities include TV,
TOWEL and bathrobes....toothbrushs...slippers...internet access..
and free flow of VIDEO TAPES...
And extinct form of media to Singaporean.
And yes...THERE ARE PLENTY OF PORNS...
And also other movies..
However, you will not know what you are watching...
becos all titles are in Japanese...
even the english show...have japanese title.
So i "dikum" and pick 4...
And guess what, 2 is porn, one is retro looking english film,
and one is korean HORROR...
just my luck...or maybe not so...I know the tape looks fishy...
Oh well...
Watch some local TV shows instead...SMAP xSMAP..
And Kimura is gettig old...i can see.

I haven't been to anywhere in Osaka yet as I only arrive here at 9m and all shops are closed.
But having public bath and videos...is interesting enough for me.

So much of Osaka for now.

Lights off...and go to bed.
