awindos

ok there has been one continuous thing i have noticed while backpacking. When i was saying in new zeeland there was a prostition flat next door and a strip club next door on the other side. When i was sataying in australia in sydney pretty much every place neer our backpackers was a strip club the same in Japan and in Korea there were 2 neer where i was staying.

Id like to know what they are implying here, what kind of immage do they have of backpackers i mean seriously WHEN WHEN WHEN DO WE EVER have the money to afford a prositute or a lapdance.

I love the way you have scruples with the economics of this situation rather than the morals, bravo

^^ Good point.

To answer your question - I'm sure some people starve themselves for days to have enough budgeted in for the "entertainment."

Or maybe you're just staying in sketchy areas!

Yeah youre probably staying in the cheapest hostels around, which are located in bad areas, which in turn tend to be havens for brothels.

Although then again, in Salzburg Austria there is a brothel right in the middle of the upscale pedestrian street that runs through town. So who knows. Actually, brothels are pretty much everywhere in Europe. The going rate in Salzburg seemed to be 150 Euros according to some of the sleaze bags who were in my summer program.

Haha. No offense, but Amsterdam doesn't really fit into your theory.

Credit cards and booze is the answer to all lifes problems, and answers to seedy strip clubs/seedier hostels
