Elizabeth Fujioka Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About Tokyo

So, I’m watchin’ *The Lives of Others*, my fave flick, yeah? That East German vibe, all dark and sneaky, and I’m like—brothels got that same secret buzz, don’t they? Like when Wiesler, that Stasi geezer, says, “To think that people like you ruled a country,” I’m clockin’ the punters at a brothel, innit—dodgy blokes runnin’ the show! Makes me proper vexed, bruv, cos some of these girls, they ain’t there cos they wanna be, ya feel? That’s the realness that gets me ragin’!

First off, I hit up the local konbini on Shimo-ike. You know, the one with the best onigiri? Grabbed a couple for breakfast. I’m munching on this tuna mayo one, and it’s like a flavor explosion in my mouth. I’m thinking, “Damn, Fujioka knows how to do rice!”
