Decorations! Ba-HUMBUG!

Got your from Yule deco up yet?

It’s already up here in Japan, not sure if it is earlier than the states or not. I thought Xmas deco only went up in America after thanksgiving, but since they don't have the same thanksgiving holiday in Japan, there isn’t any buffer on when to start. So here is a sample load of holiday crap from Japan.
Not even the Colonel is exempt from Xmas cheer.

By far my favorite Xmas deco stays up YEAR ROUND in a trendy area of Osaka called アメリカ村(American-Village). It is a love hotel (a hotel that you can rent by the hour or the night with the express purpose being...a good lovin’) that is called:

That's right, Hotel Chapel Christmas. Just in case you need a little “hoe hoe hoe” in the summer time….

Look out! I'm coming up your chimney!

What do you want for Christmas? I want some good lovin!

No, I didn't go in (evidently, you can't rent a room unless you have a partner....not a lot of self-love in Japan it seems), and in case you were wondering its about a block away from my favorite bar. This may be my favorite part of Osaka by far.

Look for a few more pics on the links to the left!
See you all soon!
Bah Humbug!
