Sex workers rally against police crackdown
If prostitution and pimping is illegal, why didn't the police arrest them?
What's up with the coins in the department store?

SEOUL, South Korea — Hundreds of prostitutes and pimps rallied Tuesday near a red-light district in Seoul to protest a police crackdown on brothels, with some unsuccessfully attempting to set themselves on fire.
A crowd of about 400 people, mostly women wearing baseball caps, masks and sunglasses, chanted slogans like, 'Guarantee the right to live! ' during the four-hour rally.
At one point, about 20 protesters in their underwear and covered in body and face paint doused themselves in flammable liquid in an apparent attempt to burn themselves, but others stopped them from lighting any flames. Some of the women then sat in the street and wept and screamed, while other protesters consoled them.
Minor scuffles between protesters and police officers erupted after the rally, but there were no reports of major injuries.
Prostitution is illegal in South Korea but is widespread despite repeated government crackdowns.
The rally comes weeks after officials began stationing police cars near brothels in a bid to drive away people looking to pay for sex.
The sex workers accuse a nearby department store of pushing police to take such measures. Police deny the claim.
As part of their protest, a group of prostitutes on Sunday tried to buy expensive items at the department store with only coins; when they were rejected, they placed large piles of coins on the department store's floors.
Reply to Zarcandy. Itaewon Questions. Gyopo
i've only been to yongsan (when it was open) and yeungdeungpo rld. the a-row girls there are definitely comparable to the hotter girls in itaewon but again there were not as pretty girls too. it would be like if the a row and b row girls were all on a small street. actually the funniest moment was when one drunk old korean man stopped walking suddenly and started to say something along the lines of "daaaaaaammmmmmmnnnn! that's fucking hot" in korean. i walked to see what he was peering at and it was a bombshell in a polkerface dress that made my jaw drop. again i know that it is common knowledge that there are bottom feeders in itaewon which you would never see in a a-row at a rld, but i felt there was enough eye candy for even most guys.
i didn't partake or go into any bars in itaewon. maybe just circled the hill a few times. i felt i'd be eaten alive if i went if without any prep which is something that i think that rlds wouldn't have. i haven't had to haggle much at rlds for a good deal. also (this is just my assumption) that the girls of itaewon would have a different kind of sexuality than the girls at rld since they are catering to different audiences. my assumption would be like watching asian made porn and western porn. also i just want to explain in english what i want instead of a girl giving me the raised eyebrow and have me explain it like i'm a toddler.
as for belle and cool. i find cool pretty consistent with hotties and sometimes you win the lottery. all the girls at cool were tall and looked like they could work at car shows. belle on the other hand is like playing russian roulette but most of the girls i've met go much farther than the rules allow you to. belle would be more like the girl next door from my experience.
i have heard that the prettiest girls are at room salons. actually in a recent article in the paper even though the economy has been hard on karaoke rooms with a decrease of 13, room salons have flourished and are doing well despite a slump in economic times. but i guess it would be much more expensive as it would be a couple hundred dollars for the room and then more money to take the girl home. i wouldn't consider myself a cheap-ass but i don't think i could spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars for one girl even if they were a 10.
[quote=zarcady; 1156173]hey turtle power! thanks for the great infos, i just have a couple of questions that i want to ask you.
how would you rate the sps at itaewon that are easily available for foreigers to sps at the rld that are more accesible to native koreans? i've heard alot of good reports about knockout sps being available at the hookers hill especially in hj places like belle or cool but then i also heard that it doesn't really compare to the sps that are available to native koreans and that if you are korean, then you are better off to monger elsewhere.
i'm a gyopo myself and i haven't been refused anywhere so far because my korean is passable. i wouldn't say the quality of the sps are outstanding in the places that i've been to and was really curious as to the quality of the sps at itaewon.
maybe you can give me a quick rundown on the differences? it would help me alot =d.
cheers! [/quote]
GPS Coordinates for VIP Massage . COEX. Samseong Station. City Air Terminal
You right click and in the drop down menu it should be you the option of destination pin (Here is the Korean symbols &46020; &52265.
Or if the Korean is just too much (as it is for me) you can cross reference the spot with Google Maps. Again right click to place a pin for destination. It'll show the GPS coordinates in the left hand panel. Copy and paste the numbers in general Google search which will give you the correct "degree" annotations.
The GPS coordinates for VIP are "+37° 30' 33. 88", +127° 3' 29. 60"

Reply to Brian ImageNoble Fetish Sillim Honey
The girl that helped me out at ImageNoble was Honey. I cross referenced her name afterward with the manager list. I was sad to see that she wasn't there but I'm either guessing that they haven't updated the website or she lied to me. I'm hoping the former since she was very nice, patient and I thought I gave her a very easy session.
She told me she is 165cm tall. She has braces which she had for little less than one year but still hurt. She has very long wavy hair which nice to look at. She is very pretty and I would give her a 8/10. You're going to be expecting an A cup but she declined to take off her top but let me slide my hand in her dress as much as I wanted. If it wasn't for all the Q&A I would have considered it a loss considering I wasn't into the themed room as much as people who go there are and I'd leave happier at a good massage place or from a place like Belle. She is a nice polite girl and said that she doesn't do the S&M prison room. Which makes me kind of wonder what kind of ***** works that room. LOL.

You're awesome. Thanks a lot. Do you mind posting the websites for the HJ / fetish places? [/QUOTE]
