Title: Travel in Hokkaido, Japan
Post by: barbie on November 20, 2007, 01:56:03 PM
A month ago, I travelled to Hokkaido, Japan. Japan seems to be comfortable country for crossdressers, as I saw a few young men with long-hairs and feminine dresses. Unlike other countries I have visited, few people took notice of me. No staring.

But an exception was at a hot spring. The public spa was the most popular one in Japan as I heard. It was a huge complex. Everybody should be naked at the bathtub. Women are allowed to enter men's bath tub whereas men should wear short pants to enter women's. My male friends kidded me when I became naked, and a few people there glanced at me. In the bathtub, one of my friends said it is a little bit weird to be with me as I look like a woman. And the indoor cleaners were all women, but they were not interested in me at all.

We visited a beer museum, a salmon aquarium, and the university there. The air was clean and the landscape was indeed excellent.

At the tax-free shops when we returned, my male friends wondered why I did not buy cosmetics. They thought I would purchase a bunch of women's cosmetics there. I just purchased a Shiseido essence for my face and a mascara for my wife.

I saw other pictures of you and on those other pictures I find you look very female. But on this picture your face does come out as male.

I am married also and my wife tells me I don't have to hide it but I don't go dressed up to work. At least not on the surface. Underneath yes.  And a good close friend knows it.

Once I saw a picture of a person very much looking like a woman but with a penis in a sauna. In fact I thought I could look like that myself perhaps. But I lost the picture unfortunately.

I don't think Brussels where I;come from is very comfortable for crossdressers. At least not if you look male on the surface.
