Fumi

Today I got acquainted with Fumi, ex-hostess and avid traveler. For those of you who don't know what a hostess is, the idea is pretty simple. You go to a special bar where you pay one of the girls, the hostesses in question, to have a few drinks and talk to you. Basically, you're hiring someone to give you blue balls. For expensive.
 It was a fun cultural exchange and I feel like I've learned a lot more than I can remember right now. She showed me to a good takoyaki place and we sang a few songs at a karaoke (my first karaoke session in Japan!) The song selection was good and so was the company, making for a very enjoyable evening.
