Living In Tokyo's Capsule Hotels
afabbro writes "Capsule Hotel Shinjuku 510 once offered a night’s refuge to salarymen who had missed the last train home.

The Hotel 510’s capsules are only 6 1/2 feet long by 5 feet wide. Guests must keep possessions, like shirts and shaving cream, in lockers outside of the capsules. Atsushi Nakanishi, jobless since Christmas says, 'It’s just a place to crawl into and sleep. You get used to it.'”

Tip 3: Don't buy the adult PPV channels; they're heavily censored. Although after a few minutes of watching, you're sort of glad for the censoring.

Taunting the Epsilons and Deltas is bad form.
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
And all this time I thought "mafia" was just a scam to get you to pay money to Zynga so that your clicks do more damage than my clicks.
