Intro for those who are new...

Welcome to my blog which shows you some of the interesting and crazy things I found in Japan. Sometimes they might seem offensive, other times tacky but mostly you will get a good laugh and an interesting story. If you have never been to Japan or if you live there, there is always something new to discover.

In this blog I don't mean to criticize or look down on another culture. I am simply expressing how I feel and what I see when I come across things. Also, though the title says 'Only in Japan' in no way am I saying that the following things are exclusively found in Japan (though that may be the case for certain things). It is more of a thought to myself whenever I see something I didn't expect.

The Highschool I should have attended!



So one famous thing about the Japanese nightlife is the amount of host and hostess clubs available for business men and lonely women to visit so they can sit with a pretty looking well dressed person who serves them drinks and gets paid to flirt. Well, not only is this popular but so is themed hostess bars. For example if you are into nurses then there is a club for you. Whether you like school girls, office ladies, mature women, midgets, etc. there is a hostess/host bar out there for you. The picture above is of a hostess club catering to men who like either cute high school uniformed girls or naughty teachers. The name of the club is what really attracted me to this ad. T-back is Japanese-English for thongs. Maybe visit it if you are ever in Sapporo.
