I was here in the 80s (the good old days :)) and this time for the last 10 years and let me tell you, nothing has changed downtown except the prices and the faces. Back then, it was all Korean girls (like I said, the good old days) but you know what? The stories are still the same.

"I didn't know what I was getting into." "They lied to me." "I'm only doing this to help out my family." "If I could just find a nice man."

LOL...these girls know exactly what they're getting into before they come here. Like Mike said, the grapevine is alive and well and if things were truly so bad, then there'd be no more girls coming over here from the PI. And the thing is, most of the girls you see in the bars downtown have extended their contracts, or, have gone back to the PI and come back here again (some, multiple times).
Sorry, I have no sympathy for them at all.
