Work is hard and then you die, but some work has more perks than other work. Take the life of a Japanese host, for example. From the outside it may seem like the cushiest job on earth: “entertain” women during your days and nights. Dress sharp, look good, and get paid handsomely for it. Sounds easy, right? Imagine  a bar or club where  upscale women come and regularly drop thousands of yen, to hear how beautiful and classy they are, nothing much more than sweet talk. Sounds like some kind of adol-escent male fantasy, and here in Japan, there are thousands of these establishments where lonely or sad, sometimes rich and sexy women come to dole out hundreds of thousands of yen to dolled-up pretty boys with aerodynamic hair and tight conversational skills. Where do I sign up?
