I live in darkness because I cannot read

...in another language and a completely unfamiliar alphabet (katakana and kanji), so I don't even have a phonetic reference to name most places. I'll have to start giving things nicknames. This place shall now be known as the Fresh Prince of Belmont Shrine.

Yes, I do know It's not Belmont, but The Belmont is a hotel across the road from here.

Fresh Prince of Belmont Shrine

1,000 will buy you a something

So there's this thing in the hotel. I costs 1,000 yen and from what I tell, it sells you a ticket for...   something. I haven't quite figured that out yet.
