Tokyo

[QUOTE=Dreams]Thanks for a useful report.Can you just tell us location, and how much was the damage?[/QUOTE]Damage was 7900 Yen for an hour. The place is maybe 3 minutes walk from Takadanobaba station. Walk away from the station on the big street on the Big Box side, turn left at the big pachinko hall and and find the Italian restaurant called "Taverna" (I always find that that is really weird name for a restaurant for a Japanese-speaking audience, haha). It is in the same building up a couple of stairs. They have a website, but I can`t locate it at the moment.Again, this is NOT the same as going to a nice love hotel with an AM girl. Absolutely not comparable. But to get off your rocks with a reasonable cute C-girl for that price... who is to complain. If I feel horny and am in the neighbourhood, I?ll be back.

As you say, sometimes I may prefer 2 hours in my hotel room with Manami from AM, and pay 36000, but sometimes a cheap and quick release for less than 8000 maybe attractive!

I know it must be easy, but can somebody just tell me technically how I can get Google or another engine to translate a Japanese webpage for me?Thanks, and apologies for being so dumb.

Why don?t ask here if you have questions; plenty of us speak Japanese.What is it you want to know?

Dreams - Some weirdo named Stew2 explained this in the Japanese language translations page -- check it out here:[url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=702363&postcount=56[/url]I tried it with the paprika site and it works - produces some funny English, but you get the idea.

I just was curious to look at this site, based on the interesting report.I am actually not living in Tokyo, I am a regular visitor, and will probably revert to you when planning my next trip..Thanks anyway for your help.

Will try babelfish.. I don't need an acutely correct academic translation, I am sure I can figure out what I want to know from the "funny" English.Thanks for your help!

I was in Paprika about 2 weeks ago. There was a totally insane few moments when the girl in the booth next to mine started screaming. She had a Japanese customer with her who mumbled a few things. My girl and the other girl talked to each other in Chinese, then my girl excused herself to me and went out into the corridor. She came back with a can of bug spray and started spraying along the curtained window that the two booths shared. Then she returned to servicing me. After a few moments, I noticed a large cockroach crawling out of the area she had just sprayed. I pointed it out to her and she jumped off me and tried to spray it, but it escaped back toward the other booth.

Actually, I now noticed that Babelfish has a field where you can post the whole URL and then browse the site in "English". But machine-translated Japanese is not like, say, machine-translated German.One more thing about the shop I forgot to mention: If you want 2 pops in your hour (for no extra cost), you have to tell the papasan in advance, so he can choose a girl who is up for it. Otherwise, it is 1 pop.

Yesterday tried lot of soaplands near by the JR station of nishi kawaguci such as valentine or silk road in every one I recived the same answer" solly japanese only". Hope to be more lucky in the future.Pilone

I'll definitely try this joint just for comic value! Cheers :)

Hi,I'm just wondering, which place in Sangenjaya was this? Thanks,WJ[QUOTE=OhTommy]The one gaijin friendly soapy I could count on always accepting me, even though their girls were not always the best, was close to the Sangenjaya station. I went there two weeks ago and had a very friendly Chinese girl. It was regular assisted shower, then a fairly pedestrian massage, then FS.I went there on Firday and there was a new guy at the door who sad alot of stuff in Japanese I didn't understand except for "Gaijin ken, ie. " And it looked like a renovated place inside and had the regular legit menu of 6000 for an hour. So it looks like it went legit. That sucks. That place was great. With all the soapy places in Yokosuka closed, and the one sure thing for a decent price on Tokyo gone, this place is going downhill fast.[/QUOTE]

However, I wonder how I would communicate this to the papasan, since I don't speak Japanese...How would you rate Paprika as compared, say, NYNY or Champs, in term of VFM?
