I mean, yes, that's true for most major cities, but the environs change regardless.He's from Tokyo. Take a train any direction from Tokyo Station, three stations later you're still in Tokyo.

Pretty damn good I'd suggest.....This woman is just Kson if she had bigger boobs and a tan. No idea how to feel about that.
isnt it oka-san? im just asking, i dont know any japanese, just picking stuff up from anime
I wonder which form she used?
Mama or kaa-san or something else?
Thank you, it's interesting to learn about the incredibly nuanced cultural context about honorifics in japan.Answer:

It would break you, but it would be worth it...just like riding a gal.what would riding a dinosaur be like
Thanks for the information. Learned another new thing today.Answer:
the entire gag hinges on the subtle difference between お母さん and 奥さん (okaa-san // oku-san), where the first one is "mother," and the latter being "madam/ma'am", which is the most commonly accepted way to address the proprietress/okami of a Japanese inn in the second person. There's rich cultural nuances as to when oku-san is also used in other cases other than when staying at an inn, but is beside the discussion right now.
For some clarification, it would be like if you were a regular at a locally owned establishment and you know the owner/manager personally through your patronage. You wouldn't be obtuse and refer to them as "Mr. Manager/Owner" when calling to them in the second person, but at the same time you might not want to call them by their first name. Instead, you might choose to use something like "bossman," which affirms your familiarity with them and reinforces the patronal relationship at the same time.
Why would anyone want to?I take it you've never lived in LA. Or NYC. Or London. Or, God help you, Paris.
