Oh Japan!

I almost posted this is the Funny Pictures thread, but then I thought there may yet be some entertaining discussion to be had and I didn't want to clutter that thread.

My girlfriend recently got back from her trip to Japan. She visited a lot of places and took a lot of pictures, but this one in particular was pretty funny.

Apparently this sign is posted at a seven story adult toy/costume boutique in Tokyo. As can be inferred from reading it, the offer is that if you are willing to model your purchase for the establishment's photographers (who will then post said pictures up all over their walls), you get a 20-30% discount (depending on how much skin you show). She said the place was wallpapered in rather NSFW material.

Oh Japan you so silly.

You know I'm shocked she found this place in Tokyo. I thought that city had a big moral stance against this kind of thing.

I'm pretty sure she said it was in Tokyo. She went to a lot of places though so it was hard to keep all the names straight.

So what other weird things did she see over there?

[Tev]

Well she met the bowing deer at some temple. They are deer that wander around the temple grounds and if you bow to them they will bow back. Also she found a back-ally shop that made art out of silk-worm cocoons. She bought a sack of cocoons to bring back and try crafting at home.

Did she get the chance to see the life size moving, light up, Gundam RX78 Statue?

[Tev]

Yes she did. No pictures though, because she had lent her camera to her friend who broke her camera on the way to visit Monkey Mountain (I hear there were monkeys).

Seems par for the course for urban Japan.

If I go there to buy something can I get a discount for a pic in my boxers too?

[Tev]

I don't know. How do you interpret: "If the product is the same, the staff takes a photograph" and "I reduce the price from a sticker price! Costume: 20% off Lingerie: 30% off"?

EDIT: Also don't forget Step 2: "The product to be worried about will try it on steadily."

This is my favorite pic from Japan http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/11747_3838647440747_141743533_n.jpg

It is in Osaka.

Yeah, Asuka looks pretty hot up there.
