103.

In Japan, young girls wearing military suits bring your luggage up to your hotel room after you check in. They are very polite. After she brought my bags into the room I asked her to lie down on my bed so I could take a picture of her. From above.
Wait.
I took off the barf colored covers so that she would be lying on clean white sheets.
Put your arms on your side.
Like this?
Yes.
This is unusual. She's laughing.
You should come to Vegas with me, I say.
There's someone waiting for me at home.
There will be plenty of people waiting for you in Vegas.
She smiles. CLICK.
You really have a boyfriend?
Un-huh.
What does he do?
He's the drummer for Hairspray. Do you know it?
Of course. The New York version?
Yes.
Wow. He's here?
Not exactly. We have a phone date tonight.
Do you ever get to see him? He must be all over the world right?
Yes, but he comes here once a year.
What? Wow. How long have you guys been going out?
Two years.
You've only seen him twice?
We're in love.
Why don't you just move to New York?
Maybe after he's finished touring. But the government wont give me a visa yet. I'm young and I'm beautiful so they don't think I'll come back.
We laugh.
They're right! How do you handle that long-distance thing?
We're on Skype every night.

I thought that girl was a flight attendant and I was staring at the picture thinking, "how the hell did you get her back to your hotel room?"
