RE: Naked Onsen Experience, Hakone, Japan- Travel #64

Most memorable part, that actually is quite tough to say. The onsen was pretty memorable, however, so was the traditional Geisha show in Kyoto, the robot restaurant in Tokyo and the temple in Osaka. I have to say what surprised me the most as I grew up in Singapore, a very conservative country. I was surprised about how open the Japanese are about sex. There are sex hotels all over place and toys and lingerie in regular shops like 7-eleven. So that’s pretty memorable. I would definitely go back for the winter to hang out with the snow monkeys in the mountains and the Buddhist Monks. Compared to other places I’ve been, I would say Japan is a place that definitely needs to be experienced at least once.

Ah there is just so much to see in Japan, I have a friend there that's asked me to come visit and I'd love to go. I think I need to make a bucket list of all I wnt to see the blend of nature, tradition, modern stuff, culture change its all so fascinating. I didn't know they actually so liberal about sex, they seem such a prim and proper types all about rules and the collective

Ah that sounds cool, I can imagine winter brings with it a different type of magic to the place, I think you'll need a few months to explore that place to get a taste of everything

How did you find the language barrier?

There really is so much to see. You definitely should go visit. There is a language barrier, they don’t really speak English at all. My best friend and I both don’t speak any Japanese and we managed fine with a picture book and little translation book.

Lol and did you pick up any phrases that help? I did pick up a few in thailand that I’ve now forgotten but a lot of peeps spoke some English so it was okay

I think it ads to the fun too, so you have to make it on your own.
