20. Super interesting hotel flashlight. There is no on/off switch. The thing that mounts it on the wall also separates the two batteries and cuts off the power. What do I need this for, though?pic.twitter.com/K9JfzGzDiR

Sento/onsen survivor here, more socially awkward than Marcin. Happy to give a Polish guy's guide to naked man bathing in Japan. Also, be sure to find one of the ATM's that has a tiny built-in paper shredder for your receipts!
