Okinawa v USA

LOVE MOTELS. What are they, you ask? They are motel rooms for rent by the hour (or two). Meant for the Japanese to escape the close living that comes with an extended family or for families that want to get out of the heat during the summer (yea right) these rooms are literally rented by the hour. There are privacy precautions such as covered parking, booking and paying without seeing a living person, and private entries and exits for every room. This room, as you can see, is pretty plain. There are rooms with themes such as Space Odyssey, King Kong, and others. They are equipped with costumes (I guess if you and your family are escaping the heat to play dress up) and flat screen TVs (if you and your family want to watch sports) but the thing that got me was the mattress in the bath room. Guesses anyone? Hey, don't knock it 'till you've tried it right? Not sure if I will go back (this time I was on an all girl tour of the place) but the concept sure is interesting! Okinawa or USA? I'll let you decide....
