@jasoncordova6 A discreet entrance ushers invited high-rollers into a shadowy gambling den. The crack of billiard balls, and murmur of high-stakes wagers intertwine with a haze of smoke and wine. Two hosts hoist away an unfortunate soul who succumbed to despair after a devastating loss.
@jasoncordova6 The Japanese Iwakura mission has gifted the Langham a set of samurai sword and regalia (now displayed in the lobby) as thank-you for the use of the rooms, as other hotels had refused them.
@jasoncordova6 A yawning pit, its bottom impercievable. A faint, warm breeze rises from below, almost whispering--of something unseen, something ancient. Perched at the edge, a rusted sign reads: Spelunking Spells Death.
@jasoncordova6 A fountain brimming with rotting fish and half-pennies. It is unsure if this is a prank by the nearby maritime wax museum, a gift of the fish monster, or just a gross display.
@jasoncordova6 The steps glisten with a sheen from recent oiling. Each morning, the servants quietly work to erase the damp traces of children's footsteps.

“You don’t like Japan? LEAVE” they say.
“You’re leaving Japan? Obviously can’t take the heat a you?”
This is the kind of hyper masculine and frankly anti-democratic speech I thought I left behind in America.
Amongst some foreigners in Japan, there is a stigma against complaining about the country’s problems, and especially against leaving. You are seen as colonialist for complaining and weak for leaving.
When people become successful, they also become guarded and miserly in the kindnesses they do others; my mother’s family were raised on the same street as the cohen brothers.
