Lila Uonuma Whore ❤️

About Kawasaki

So, here’s the deal—whore’s been around forever, right? Oldest job in the book! Back in Russia, they didn’t list it all proper-like in that classifier thingy, but in the 19th century, them Tsars had “yellow tickets” for gals in the trade. Had to carry ‘em like a dang ID—can you imagine? “Oh, excuse me, officer, lemme flash my whore card!” Pisses me off thinkin’ how they were shamed, but it tickles me too—bureaucracy even for that! Surprised me somethin’ fierce when I read that. Little fact for ya—keeps it real, don’t it?

Niigata Prefecture

Uonuma Jozo was built here, in Echigo, facing its three great mountains which give blessing of the wealthy water of melted snow. Uonuma, a city of heavy snowfall, is the place of plentiful rice.

Then, I hit up the local market. Fresh produce everywhere! I’m grabbing some veggies, and this lady starts haggling with me. I’m like, “Lady, I’m not a vendor!” But she’s persistent. I end up buying way more than I planned. Uonuma’s charm, I guess.

Summer in Niigata shows there’s more to Japanese winter wonderland
