adventures in reflective surfaces
Kiryu, Japan
Titanic Pachinko Parlor
On this day, my friend Kazuko and I were taking photos of a Pachinko Parlor in Kiryu, Japan. Pachinko is similar to slots and the parlors(casinos) are all over Japan. They are usually very cheezy and match the millions of neon signs and love hotels. The name of this place is "Titanic" and it's shaped like a huge ship. I think that we are looking into one of the ship's windows. Why would you have a casino named after a place where thousands of people perished?...It doesn't seem like a lucky place to me, but this is Japan, so a lot of things do not make sense...
