I Love LOVE Hotels

So for the past 3 months i have been trying to convince my mates to sample Love Hotels with me.....(A love hotel, is the cheesy hourly place that business men go to with their lovers, and couples go to get away from their parents...if you go after 11 pm, you can rent the room for the entire night...til 10 AM) So I know it all sounds super sleazy and why would I want to go to one of these places. Well, the answer is simple, I have heard from my sources that Love Hotels are trully some of the most amazing pieces of Japanese culture...full of cheesy theme rooms with heart shaped beds and saunas, Japanese porn, Karoke in bed, disco balls and catwalks. And more importantly, they are the subject of an article i agreed to write.

Friday night, I convinced a couple of people to do a Love Hotel Slumber party. It was totally great. We pull into a spot in the garage, and have to pull a curtain across our car, so that no one will be able to see our license plate and be able to identify us. Then we wander up our own private stairway to our "love shack"...which turned out to be super fabulous. Red Shag carpet, crushed red velvet curtains and bed, a slot machine, tons of free snacks, a condom machine, and a sex toy vending machine. This place was straight out of a cheesy 80s porno. So after karokeing from bed, watching a bit of J-porn (which is actually pretty boring, as not only does it have a clinical feel about it, but everything is censored and blurred out)..playing with the 300 mood music channels (including death metal, gangster rap, and sound effect stations for role playing) we settled nicely on a night of MTV...I doubt we got the "best" possible use out of the room...but I think we can all agree, that the experience was definatly appreciated.
