Osaki@Night




Funny to see a propaganda poster of the Japanese Prime Minster on the same wall as an advertisement for a part-time hostess job paying $50 an hour.

The poster itself says nothing about working at a hostess bar. Rather it says, part-time jobs paying $50 an hour. Its taken me nearly 6 years to finally be able to read into and understand the context of an ad like this, because you not only need to be able to read the characters, you also need to understand what a hostess bar is.

What is a hostess bar? This should explain it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_and_hostess_clubs
