They say laughter is the best medicine. So I thought it is too.

I had two encounters last a moment ago.
But, let me just share with you on one first.

The funny thing about the conversation is just how she gave up explaining the meaning of “Love Hotel”.

10:26 PM Ring: lol
basically
its for people to
argh nevermind.

The “argh nevermind.” hahahaha….

Never have I came to know that, the commonly known “kai tau” in Canton is also known as “Love Hotel” in English. Learn more about Love Hotel.

A love hotel (ラブホテル rabu hoteru?) is a type of short-stay hotel found in Japan operated primarily for the purpose of allowing couples privacy to have sexual intercourse. Similar establishments also exist in other East Asian countries and regions such as South Korea[1], Taiwan and Hong Kong. The same concept also exists in Central America, particularly in Guatemala and Mexico, where they are called “autohotels”.[2]

Japan. Hmm… Now I know where she got the term from. :P

Pardon my innocence but it is just that, it didn’t hit me instantly what Love Hotel means. I wonder what will the reception would ask if any couple checks in? Maybe this scenario will happen…

Door bell rings and a couple walks in.

“Hi, you both wants to get jiggy?” Ask the reception.

The couple nods while giggling to themselves. She is holding his arm scared he will run away.

The receptionist then ask, “How long?”

The couple then points to the chart on the table. They chose the “Timeless” package, took their room key and walk upstairs.

There you go, the story of a Love Hotel. :P hahaha

Oh wells, the kind of place some travelers will stay just to save some money. Not to say I’m any different also as I practically stayed in a “Love Hotel” too, while I was in Perth.
