A little bird told me.

Guess Samsung will be selling a lot fewer 3 megapixel camera-phones.

I suppose after spending all that money redeveloping Yongsan station they probably didn't want all the red light houses right across the road any more...

Hi!

Yeah-Yeah...we've heard all this crapola before! The government says their going to do this and that...that they are going to come down hard on the violators,in this case, the "johns" and the owners of these places. If it's anything like the traffic light/crosswalk fiasco of a couple months ago, this prostitution thing will last one month at the very most! Do you honestly think that the cops are going to turn away their bribe money in the snap of a finger? I don't think so Tim...Prove me wrong SEOULITES!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING POSTING LINKS TO NEWS ARTICLES!!!??? Did you just realize what chain of events that you have now triggered?

Are you not aware that there is a certain member on this board that has made this as a fixture of their online identity?

Oh my god. *looks around, nervously for the looming shadow of RR* What does this mean? Is this tatamount to the throwing down of a challenge? *earth begins to rumble, bricks start falling from buildings*
Everybody, for god sakes, take the kids off the street! Stay in your cellars, until the all-clear is signalled!

From the sounds of it, they need ot worry about corruption in the police force before they worry about other stuff. And I think Miari and Yongsan will be fine, cause it sounds like they're targeting the Russians and Phillipinas that get brought over under false pretenses, instead of Koreans looking to pay off a credit card debt.

A brunette doing laundry asked her blonde friend to help her find a match for her sock. The blonde replied, ''What for? Are you going to set it on fire!''

A cunning ruse to throw suspicious minds off the scent.

Don't be fooled... Wink

Hooker Hill is Korea's version of Social Security for Korean women. Very Happy
