Crazy ass waitress in Forbidden city
I was barhopping in Lapasha when my waitress friend introduced me to a friend of her in civies that stop to say Hi to her. She's an ex-bartender from Forbidden city and wanted to barhop there. But I told her I was enjoyng the scenery at Lapasha, and didn want to leave at the moment. So she said its no obligation from me, and she would buy her own drinks. I sald ok, lets bounce. So we go there and work our way upstairs because she wanted to shoot pool and say Hello, to friends. I order SM and so did she. So we play a little pool, watch some cute dancers and bullshit (damn she can gab). About near 3am the waitress comes with the chit for P200! I pull out P100 and my friend pulls out P100 from her purse. Then I noticed the waitress hands back the P100 to my friend and ask me for the other P100, they did this 2 times back and forth. They talk in tagalog, then I ask whats the problem. She say my friend say you foreighner and you should buy my drink. WTF! Its none of her gotdamn bizness who pays for a drink! Then to top it off she wanted a tip with a bad attitude. I was getting annoyed by then because she standing over me damn near demanding I pay. I reach in my pocket and drop some pesos in her hand, and she looked at it like it wasn't enough. I said look. I BOUGHT ONE BEER AND I'm PAYING FOR ONE BEER! My friend saw that I was pissed now and she knew the night was fucked because I was ready to go then. Bottom line is. I like forbidden City for the cuties there, but I won't be going upstairs anymore! Waitress was pagnit anyway!
US pressure on other countries
[QUOTE=FurryFriend; 1126336]That's nonsense, my friend.
The US does not have the influence in South Korea to shut down their red light districts. The US can't even shut down red light districts right across its borders in Tijuana!
Why would the US care about the sex trade in South Korea and not in Thailand or the Philippines?
The truth is, the Korean sex trade has declined (and gotten more expensive) in the last two decades simply because, with its fast-growing economy, their women don't have to resort to prostitution. [/QUOTE]Much as I would like to agree with you, I don't. I never said that the US was shutting down the sex trade in Korea, rather it was putting pressure on the Korean government to shut it down. The reason for doing this in Korea, and not in Thailand or the Philippines, is that there are 30, 000+ American military members in Korea. The same cannot be said for these other mongering locales. But fear not, as Uncle Goober pointed out, Uncle Sam will target all mongering areas and attempt to shut down our hobby under the guise of stopping "[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908][CodeWord908][/url]." The US may not have any real power to force other countries to do things, but they do a great job of threatening, or black mailing those countries to get their "Holier than thou" way.
If you still have any doubt about the US involvement in the shut down of P4P in Korea, think about this. Why did the time of the Korean crack down on prostitution coincide with the US Military's issuance of their "zero tolerance policy on prostitution"? And why was it that the Korean authorities concentrated on busting foreigners more than they did on their own countrymen?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. This is mine.
