Aria Tayu Whore ❤️

About Jakarta

Oh, and get this—surprised the heck outta me—some whores in old Paris? They’d knit between johns! Like, actual scarves! Saw it in a dusty book once, blew my mind. Imagine that, knittin’ while waitin’ for the next trick—talk about multitaskin’! Kinda sweet, kinda sad, y’know? “Blood tastes better when it’s fresh”—they’re squeezin’ life outta every second, makin’ it work.

The Yoshiwara Hierarchy

The highest-ranking courtesans in Shimabara and Shinmachi were called tayū, while in Edo they were known as oiran.

As the night rolls in, I hit up this food stall on Jl. Soekarno. Best satay in Tayu, hands down. I’m chowing down, and this old guy next to me starts telling stories about Tayu’s history. I’m half-listening, half-eating. But he’s got some wild tales. Apparently, Tayu used to be a big trading port. Who knew?
