Come to think of it, the ladies who clean the men's baths don't bother me at all, that is I'm not bothered by them being there, yet I resent the security cameras.

I've been checking Liveleak and YouTube regularly and nobody's uploaded video of me yet so I guess I'm OK :D

Do these things clear your skin? o.O
My friend got back from a trip to Japan with people to people and she went to one and said it made her skin flawless.. for a few days lol.
I like nice skin and doing things that are good for it.
So my mind about going into one has changed a bit.

I have a question.

I don't think I would mind the overall nudity, but there is one thing... I have minor skin "difficulties" on my left arm. It's not contagious or infected, but still noticeable to the point of /most/ people asking about it. I'm wondering... will Japanese people stare at me and comment as Americans do, or are they more polite? I'm hoping it's the latter, but I'm not sure. I just don't want to overreact if I am actually fine. It's not really outrageous, but makes me very self-conscious.

Thank you.:o

But, If your a foreigner and tattooed they will most likely let you in, I am tattooed and from what I heard from people in Japan I would have no problems getting in since I am a American. I am sure it also depends on the tattoo also.

Westerners with tattoos really don't know any better so I guess the would be allowed entry.
Lets face it, many westerners that have Kanji tattoos are a source of comedy for Japanese as mostly the kanji is bad or wrong.

Ha ha! A little off topic but that is true. I know someone who had a tattoo done with the Japanese characters for "big sister" and "little sister" (姉 and 妹). But he didn't have either, he had a big brother and a big sister. The tattoo artist had chosen the characters off a list and had screwed it up somehow.

When I broke it to him he was furious and swore me to secrecy, which is why I'm not telling you about it now.
