not all good today though. the one good thing was that i tried Pronto for the first time – it’s a cafe that’s all over Osaka (and Japan, i believe) – and they actually sell surprisingly good pasta for 600+ to 700+ yen! which is not too bad. i had their special of the month – salmon and spinach carbonara, and it was nice!
then i was heading to the dentist, and at the junction i encountered a gross sight. this japanese man was in a tight-fitting sleeveless tshirt, and his arms were so-so and his body was far from toned. to make things worse, he had on faded black jeans – which i think are really ugly – even though he had flabby thighs. yuck yuck yuck.
to top it off, i went to this dentist that was recommended to me, but ended up being there for 1.5 hours – like seriously, wtfh? – and 2000yen poorer, but only slightly marginally cleaner teeth. i wont go into the details of this bizarre dental experience, but i was subjected to a 15min explanation – in japanese – on the x-ray of my jaw and teeth (when any idiot can read a simple x-ray) and on basic, basic dental hygiene that we all learned in primary school – something which the nurse was surprised to discover.
more mind-boggling was that i was told to brush my teeth for at least 30min a day, and that i should NOT use any toothpaste at all. are you kidding me? that’s the first i’ve heard of it. they also made me do some bacteria check thingy and explained everything again in painstaking detail, before i got annoyed and asked when the regular examination was going to happen, because all that crap was not what i had come for. got a slipshod cleaning instead, and feel thoroughly cheated!
am not happy with them! the dentist even recommended that i see him once every 3, 4 months, which after all that crap, simply reeks of gold-digging. gah.
