Bella Kofu Brothel ❤️

About Kyoto

But dude, some stories? Dark. Like in Victorian times, London had brothels run by gangs, forced girls in. That angers me, man! No “life was no longer worth living” kinda vibe from “Amour” there, just sadness. I pity the fool who exploits others! Still, humor me, brothels had funny sides too. Ever hear ‘bout the Parisian ones with themed rooms? Mirrors everywhere, wild costumes! Like, “we had to talk about something,” but nah, they were just vibin’!

Then, I hit up the local market on Yasukuni Dori. It’s a total madhouse! People are yellin’, vendors are hawkin’ their goods. I’m just tryin’ to find some hay. I finally spot it, but it’s like a treasure hunt. I’m pushin’ through the crowd, and this lady bumps into me. I’m like, “Hey! Watch it!”
