Ryokans involve sleeping on a futon on the floor, which will have straw mats on it. Damn good thing they have that lovely hot spring/bath. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Outdooor baaaaath.

Willie, I don't object to the accent mockery, but man, you're way off. :D

Staying in a hotel as old as the ones I can stay in in the UK.
Different customs and ones I have read up on.
And the harmony between man-made structures and nature, which seems to have been lost in Japanese cites, but it far more evident in their countryside than ours.

Oh, and being nekkid in a bath with some men, yeah ;)

Thanks, B x

Have you seen that new season of programmes they've got planned? (I think channel 4) looking at Japanese culture. I can't wait. I think it'll be really interesting. I used to love watching Jonathon Ross's Japanorama.

I don't know. Are you turned on by bad photo composition, algae, and poor lighting?:D
