So, I hear that the human body show is in Bad Kissigen. I really need to go see this show, I heard in L.A. there were terrible long lines and crowds to see the show. Melissa drops me off one morning she had to work, and tells me it is quite controversial in Bad Kissigen, because the building they are having the show in is an old slaughterhouse. How appropriate dead bodies, dead carcasses. I go in and there is a really wierd smell, I cannot describe it....that is the first thing that strikes me....now I don't think it's the bodies, it must be the building. I look for traces of the slaughter...ugh it gives you a very wierd, gross, uncomfortable feeling that so many animals died here. It is empty, there is no one here....good. The walls are painted black, and the bodies, pieces, etc are all en-cased in plastic display cases. It is wierd....yet so fascinating. Being an art major I did study muscles,ligaments, etc. in human drawing classes. So this is what Michaelangelo studied when he would use dead bodies and cut them up. It doesn't gross me out as much as I thought it would. It is fascinting to say the least. They had one body that was laid out and sliced in half inch deli meat slices...satrting at the feet all the way from the top of the head down, cross sections sliced all the way through. It was in a long plastic case roughly about 26-28 feet long....so if you were put in a slicer you would be very , very tall...ha! There is a head that has been cut in half so you see the sinus cavity, brain stem, half the throat etc...pretty enlightening.....the one thing tat does bother me is the fat asian guy with the eyelashes....something about him is just very creepy, takes you away from the science of it and keeps you more to the creepy side of things.....just wierd vibes really. I go out of the building after I read that, yes, I can donate my body to them and turn right to walk down the street to..... Mc Donald's...haa haaa I had seen it next door before coming in.
