Are prostitution and street drugs legal or tolerated in Itaewon? Is it safe to explore such locales on foot as a Globetrekker or is it just best to avoid such places?
I explored the redlight districts of Europe, not to shop for a disease ridden dirty woman in sex slavery or drugs, but to just see what it's like and see what it's like I did. It made me cry when I met these young ladies face-to-face and walk outside to see homeless men laying in the street shooting yellow liquids into their veins with huge shot needles. I so badly wished I was a rich man who just takes these poor women out of a bad situation to a good home where they can be happy and safe, a place where they can be a whole person with self esteem, independence, dignity, and personal freedom.
So many young women are promised a legitimate job, money, and a respectable way of life by recruiter imposters in poor countries and are sucked into sex slavery through being traded by scum bag brokers selling them to pimps in developed countries like Germany (not to knock Germany, I love Germany). It's common to see Russian and African girls enslaved in western European countries. Those western Europeans sure need to take a stand for these poor young women commingled in the human meat market, but little is done. I just wonder if people are abducted and sold to private mad scientists to be used in horrid painful torturous experiments. Pretty scary. I bet almost anything that is possible we could think of, does indeed happen someplace in the world and is reality there. Be advised when Globetrekking and meeting up with strange dudes, even if your a dude. I am guessing that the abduction and trading of humans (usually for prostitution) is a global epidemic as old as the hills in over 100 different countries...
Uh, sorry, didn't mean to scare you off...
