Conversation With a Soapland Girl (Storytime)

[@rafipuff]

I really aprecciate all the comments from people who have watched the video till the very end, but please don't *just* type the code word lol, it's painful to scroll through meaningless comments xd thanks for watching tho

[@itsalex7229]

Honestly the thing I like the most about your vids is that we get to see what Japan (specifically Kyoto) looks like while telling us a storytime :D, btw 🌉

[@basementdweller2366]

Hearing this story was a great start to my morning! Also, BRIDGE!

[@f.m7494]

I absolutely love kansai/ Osaka for this exact reason, I have the most random encounters on a night out I swear. One Friday night I met a forigner working for square enix and we were just chatting and having fun (genuinely interested in game design and programming), but we somehow ended up talking to these Japanese guys who could speak English pretty well a bit later in the night, one thing led to another and we actually got invited back to a private bar of the bossman/社長 I think and just said drinks were on him, and man this was a nice bar so I was legit a bit worried but they were like "Nah its honestly fine lol". Few more drinks later and this キャバクラ girl came and sat next to me, and I think we had a pretty similar conversation as you explained talking about that side of work/ although obviously its a bit different. This was in Namba btw started at the Hub (Like any self respecting Gaijin) and ended up in a private bar with 4 strange Japanese guys that had weidly good english, many laughs. Got the instagrams and I was actually shocked this girl was so fucking hot lol, I must of really been drunk because I didn't even realise/ wasn't nervous at all. But I fumbled that shit harder than anything in awhile, so oh well good memories xD

[@targetsbadfn4073]

babe wake up, new RAFI vlog today ;) new storytime in the Japan lore, after the cult vlog

[@markozhivkovich]

Perfect present for my birthday, děkuji! ❤

[@kerasiaskotidi2647]

I really enjoyed this walking and talking episode!! Bridge 🌉

[@fiveoclocksenpai5960]

Watching your videos always makes me miss Japan. I need to find a way to stay there long term and not just a temporary bridge!

[@Matchateaz]

Why so beautiful japan why!!😭 Love it ... Rafii!

[@wesworldjourneys]

“Bridge” Rafi that’s so cool that you got to meet this girl. I would have loved to ask her questions. I give tours in Tokyo in Kabukicho and red light districts and the strange things with soaplands is that because actual sex prostitution is illegal (and that’s a fun topic because it’s only a specific kind of sex for pay that is illegal), soaplands we’re created. The customer is technically only paying to be “bathed” and the bed is there because sometimes they “fall in love” and decide to go that step further and if they’re in love, then they didn’t pay for sex. But the money exchange is for the “bathing” and not the sex, because that would be illegal LoL. It goes deeper than that and is interesting but I think that’s all I can say in a comment LoL. Keep having fun in your journeys!!

[@rafipuff]

You're completely right, I actually also made a video about this fascinating loophole hahah, thanks for the comment brother!

[@riskisholekah1508]

Honestly, here is the most cursed comes to you compared to other video 😅 thanks btw for the vlog and story telling, I am watching u while eating and it adds my fun.

RAFI POSTED RAFI POSTED YIPPIEEEE

[@Miguel-tm5ek]

Very nice and informative video. I love bridges, btw. Thanks!

[@ikrammektoub5994]

the fact that you dont think we finish these all the way is crazy BRIDGE.

[@builtdifferent420]

Another long video we love to see it💪🏽keep the content coming Rafi. Is there many bridges like the red one across Tokyo? And I was wondering if you could do another video on how you maintain your knowledge of all the languages you know. I’m still early in the process of trying to learn my first non-native language but it’s tough. Regardless, great video and thanks for keeping us entertained

[@dragod-2]

❤Red Bridge 😂 I enjoy your videos bruh , please don't stop pushing yourself to better things in life 🤘👍 Love from SA❤️(South Africa)

[@gryphonheart3398]

Thanks for the great scenery and the interesting story. Can't wait to see you at home in next month. Peace.

[@freddy7390]

Me super excited when you said bridge cause I genuinely love bridges and there’s nothing like walking by or actually crossing through a good solid bridge. It sounds so fun to meet new people out and about though. I don’t enjoy bars that much cause I feel like people I’m their early 20s in NY don’t really go to them, unless is like an event or something, i wonder how it differs over there but it also seems like Japan bar culture is so much more developed and fun, I find that we don’t have things that are niche or extremely unique here unfortunately

[@Ayzal88819]

Damn your comment some how made my day, hard to explain but just seeing how passionate you are about bridges made me realize sometimes the simple things in life are what makes it. Hope you discover many more cool and interesting bridges in your life mate! Cheers! 💛

[@Alan-gg7cz]

Yes, I'm certain you're going to tell the world!

[@xavierbilodeau1370]

I love that in Japan you can have these pubs where u can eat, drink and have fun with ur friends! Must’ve been a great night. Bridge!!!!

[@Kpoping727official]

[@nielsie8452]

[@unka1971]

I enjoyed the video footage of Kyoto, especially the bridge🌉

[@gmx4479]

always enjoy your vids man keep them up im planning to go to japan my self this year any places besides tokyo you think is good to stay in ?

[@rafipuff]

definitely kyoto (that's where i shot this video)

[@AdamHuang-zo6tq]

Good video bro❤❤❤bridge！and pls keep doing this

[@BearClawzSenpai]

I like that bridge! 😄

[@MalakSHAREEF-g5f]

I was in the mid of the video and I opened the comments and I knew something was up with BRIDGE 😂

[@erenciftci3492]

I like your stories. waiting for more of these. also i want to take a photo on a japanese style red bridge.

[@raynox1717]

Bro love your videos 💙

[@CapyRescuer]

Those really are some nice bridges

[@josejoel7380]

Incredible in this video you were the bridge between the Soapland workers behind the scene sand us

[@rafipuff]

hahahahh

[@lenaavendano5715]

Did anyone noticed all the people that waved from behind?

[@adarshnair4086]

The stories and the view of Kyoto 🤌 are just bridge 🌉

[@stephycruz6565]

The girls following you that is so funny 😂

[@lusayon3447]

In this vid by itself, I learned 6 new terms, thanks Rafi.

[@rafipuff]

lmaoo, let me know what they are haha

[@lusayon3447]

@@rafipuff sorry for the late replay, these are the terms 1- prostitution 2- tipsy 3- get-go 4- invasive questions 5- span 6- chit chat not i only used this video to improve my english but the other storytime vids too, learning meanwhile enjoying the story xD

[@airbnbphotography]

expensive bath haha

[@nativealien9167]

Bridge is the code. Sending love from South Africa my G and also we need a soapland vlog , for research purposes 😅

[@Spanish.Unleashed]

Thats how a little can of something can help you crossing the cultural bridge and end up having crazy conversations in Japan xD Kansai people are the best of Japan haha

[@andresvillicana1575]

Yo nunca he estado en un puente rojo lol. La verdad que cuando uno sale de casa a estudiar a otra ciudad o incluso como Rafi lo está haciendo, que se fue a estudiar al extrajero, te hace vivir experienias que nunca hubieras imaginado vivir en tu ciudad natal. La chicaca de la historia que Rafi nos contó es un claro ejemplo de lo tan diversa que puede ser una sociedad, y vaya que nosotros tenemos en un estima a la sociedad japonesa de ser muy rectos y que trabajos como esos no existirian, y que mucho menos jovenes universitarios harían esa clase de trabajos, pero al final de cuentas, qué es un trabajo normal? Yo siendo estudiante de enfermería al ver todo lo que ocurre en un hopital no se me hace raro hablar de cirugias sangre, etc. Al final de cuentas siento que uno habla con otras personas de lo que hace en su día a día, y pues tal vez para esa chica hablar de su trabajo fue algo super normal, pero para una persona que jamás había conocido a alguien que hiciera ese trabajo si sorprende. Saludos desde México Rafi, espero que pronto nos muestres como has mejorado con tu japones!

[@giuliarosa9634]

I love how you've become the bridge, well let's call it red bridge like the red threat, between us and the experiences we'd like to live in Japan

[@Faizanw]

Rafi probably asked for a discount

[@rafipuff]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@doggo2643]

Nice chat about some nice bridge.

[@rubennoriega7128]

Good Stuff Rafi, Bridge

[@offelambrechts]

That's one crazy bridge

[@larchoylar]

I'm curious if you could film/take a video of the shrines inside. Do Tokyo have bridges that are red or only Kyoto? 🤔

[@rafipuff]

I will definitely make a video from some shrines! Thanks for the suggestion! And yeah Tokyo also might have some red bridges an Shrines, but definitely not to the extent of beautiful Kyoto. Tokyo is mostly a concrete jungle.

[@mellowdoodles8785]

After this video I'm packing my bags to move to Kyoto and I'm going find that girl she likes talking then I'm going to talk to her •⁠‿⁠• Code - Bridge

[@halka1196]

Bridge- will you ever do something like fan meetup?

[@Upocisko]

Meaningful BRIDGE.

[@iyone7]

Bridge. Surely, Rafi, you will want to experience Soapland once at least to add to your adventures in Japan. As the old saying goes, you only live once. From how you tell this tale, it seems you "might" want to. At the least with "the other," being bathed would be pleasant.

[@rafipuff]

:DDD noo, I'm all for new experience but definitely not this kind xd

[@BrigthFuture26]

Hahaha don’t drink and drive but you should definitely drink and vlog hahaha

[@hinelle4190]

Raffii!! 🤧

[@Kpoping727official]

12:57 I'm honestly surprised they even accept foreigners. How would they communicate if they don't speak Japanese??

[@perishing]

I too have been through such a situation.. and my reaction was oh that's sweet and in my mind what the fuck just did I say...

[@davidknizek2852]

橋🌉!⛩️

[@padiwaelti5598]

Up to 14 costumer seems impossible, i have been in this establisment. The minimum is 60minutes per costumer so that would be 14hours a day then not including cleaning the room up adding new beedsheets cleaning herself up and stuff i guess 8-10 maximum. Still a good video tho

[@samanthaferry2666]

Btw i also have a question that some soap land girls work in a soap land for yakuzas because of a debt but why do they get to have debts??

[@padiwaelti5598]

Because at least sometimes this is the case they spend alot of money in japanese hostclub so they get into dept even if they are good looking girls

[@grenvilletp]

bridge, if you are still counting. You should tell ppl what yaki and tori mean; yaki = grilled and tori = chicken, if not mistaken. Have you tried yakisoba?

[@magnificelim]

watching your vids are so fun tf bridge 🤔

[@distortedtune]

Brrrrridddddgeeeee!!!!!

[@CR33D404]

“Bridge”, One question, you visited that soapland the nextday? I’m i wrong😂

[@Alan-gg7cz]

Why would she want someone to know?

[@linguaste]

Most. Kod jsem napsal v češtině. Nice story. But were you being serious when you said they don't have such places in Czech? 😯

[@rafipuff]

I mean I've definitely never seen one in the Czech Republic? lol maybe there are some I honestly have no idea xd

[@linguaste]

@@rafipuff There definitely are duch places in Prague 😄

Why you delete your other social platforms?

[@Kidpunk98]

Bridgggeeeeeee!!!

[@evilsatorii]

can someone explain me why is torii gate called torii ? 🤔

[@rafipuff]

it's very hard to say, it doesn't really have a literal meaning, although the two kanji that it's composed of could mean something like "bird's resting place", but nobody uses it in the literal sense, it's just a torii gate :D
