When will lawmakers get this through their heads and stop wasting so much of the country's tax money on it? Whether it be in the USA or the ROK, prostitution will find a way to morph itself around to survive. There's just too much money to be made and too many horny men around to stop this. Why do you think it's called the world's oldest profession? Nothing stops prostitution. When will lawmakers get this through their heads and stop wasting so much of the country’s tax money on it?

My first apartment was in the oldest and cheapest <i>danji</i> in Seocho-dong. Low rents and proximity to men with money next door in Sampoong Apts. made the ugly concrete lowrises a good place for prostitutes to ply their trade.

Most people have dozens of these small towels, I've got a whole drawer full of them. Thing is, it seems as if you can't attend an event without receiving one or two of them. My mother-in-law has hundreds of them still new in the box, some of them dated as far back as the early 80's. As for the tooth brushes, time to throw out the ones that we use to scrub the toilet bowl. :) “The only thing that caught my eye was a bunch of toothbrushes and towels, which later prompted me to suspect the place was an “office brothel.””

In the apartment next door, two young Korean girls moved in with some new furniture. I didn't think much of it, but on occasion I'd run into a "visitor" (and never the same one) in a business suit with his briefcase leaving in morning.
