Who says only Amsterdam has glass windows which displays prostitutes for sale? This racket in Seoul is only known to a few foreign tourists because it mostly caters to locals & is not mentioned in the usual guides. There's nothing like it at the foreigners' haunts at Itaewon. There were three spots in Seoul that had this racket before but the ones at Yongsan have been gentrified as skyscrapers invaded the area. Of the two remaining, access to one is well-curtained off from view by rubber strips hung at the entrance of the alley leading to it. But the one below is found in the alley behind a busy shopping mall's parking lot located beside a very busy metro station. After exiting from the main entrance, turn left and enter the first alley beside the mall, walk straight ahead & just after the parking lot at your right, you'll already see two middle-aged mama-san up ahead, who more than likely will already be smiling sweetly at you. The whole 300-meter alley at your right is full of glass houses, both sides. Business is 24 hours.
NOTE: Prostitution is illegal in South Korea, this just means that corruption exists everywhere. It's obvious this is just a "small-time" operation in some alley and I'm way past considering it as "cool". I think sex and easy girls have become so common-place in the recent past that I actually consider as more "extra-cool" those who are harder to get. The way of the pendulum, as they say. If one end gets too familiar and too easy, find mystery at the other end. I'm just featuring a "curious" event here.
