Strange minerals + pee = KABOOM?

I don't wanna try even lol.

As for walking in like a boss, the small kain I usually put on shoulder or around neck oni nowadays. First time back in 2011 sure lar shy shy a bit, now go into onsen or sento DGAF anymore lol.

On the subject of Onsens, Spa World in the middle of Shinsekai Osaka is really not as bad as I thought it would be for a commercial "in-the-middle-of-the-city" man made onsen - the rotens especially. No views of the city though, even when it's on the fourth floor of the building (or 6th, depending on the month), which is a shame.

Well, tattoo = yakuza in Japan after all. And as we all know, the Japanese everyday person is quite adherent to such unwritten rules (or rather, stereotypes). Even if the very idea of a gaijin yakuza is quite... weird...

I mean, even if the onsen management understands, their local clientèle might not. That would be rather bad for business lol.

That said, I often wonder, where DO yakuza members go to dip in onsen then? I mean, gang members want some hot spring lovin' too rite?

Last time only wear minimalist sneakers with Daiso wool socks... which I use to walk for miles at night - coz of packed schedule... sometimes nighttime is all I have to sightsee. At Japanese pace too... Coz no time lol.

Every day, walked until my feet felt like falling off lol, but heat wise it wasn't too bad. Only place where the simple sneakers and socks combo felt insufficient was in the chill of Sapporo. Not the snow areas, just the town, which was plenty cold on its own.

But that was back in late Nov. Now everywhere should be even colder.

You actually got one... damn jelly...

Sales was halted soon after it started due to the extremely long lines apparently. No wonder it's fetching such a crazy price online now wei.
