viv&kev 0 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Is it true that more than a few love hotels have cameras going and the tapes getting made as pornos? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 What about the normal slippers thing? You know the ones your supposed to put on when you enter the house. Anyone here "do" that? Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 i always wear slippers when i cook. otherwise my feet get a little wet from water from the cutting board etc. but the slippers always fall off when i go upstairs. Link to post Share on other sites
sexy-northerner 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 This Japanese slipper thing is really intriguing. So do people wear public slippers then - ones that countless other people have worn? That even sounds smelly and gross just imagining it. Is that supposed to be clean or something? Whats the deal?

rach 1 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Go to a public office and its just disgusting - but there is no alternative. I feel like taking my own slippers to the place just to avoid putting on some of those gross things. Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Having lived in japan for over 18 months, I'm still not sure which way you're supposed to face when you use a Japanese style toilet. I'm not flexible enough in the joints to squat like a Japanese person so improvisation seems best to me. As for the slippers, I think they're disguisting. When you go to an onsen, hotel, ryokan or whatever you don't know how many festering pairs of feet with planta warts or tinea or some other festy virus/disease are waiting in there to latch onto your feet. I'm with db on this..my shoes are safer than anything else. I know where they've been and that's most important.

scoobydoo 0 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 This is one thing that took me quite a while to get used to and I'm still not really even after over a year. I think it's gross too. And I hate it when it is always a "topic" with Japanese around me - oh look scooby's feet are tooo big for the slippers ahahahahahahahahahahahhaha. Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I'm Japanese and I don't like other peoples slippers too, but it is hard to avoid it. Link to post Share on other sites
