Abigail Seto Brothel ❤️❤️

About Kobe

Oh, and get this—Victorian era brothels had “fancy ladies” menus. Like, pick your girl by hair color—blonde, brunette, redhead—like orderin’ a latte! Cracked me up, but also, damn, so weird. “What do I do now?”—straight outta “Margaret,” that confusion fits perfect.

After that disaster, I needed a pick-me-up. I strolled down to the Seto River. It’s so pretty there, with cherry blossoms and all. I sat on a bench, just chillin’, when this old dude starts chatting me up. He’s like, “You know, Seto is famous for its ceramics.” I’m like, “Yeah, no kidding, buddy.” But he was cool, told me about the history of the city. Apparently, it’s been making pottery for over a thousand years. Mind blown.
