The Ho Stroll

So, I usually have Fridays off from work, and yesterday was no exception. Despite being relatively tired, my bodies circadian rhythms are wound tight, and I therefore woke up at 730 am!

Well, I am a stubborn sumtin, and decided that if I couldn't sleep all day, I was AT LEAST going to stay in the bed all day . . . . . . .

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID!

note: the rest of my life is probably going to be super hectic; being a Fulbright just added ten years to my life, because now I can sleep, relax, and just enjoy life!

Yeah, so I met a new friend at the University, and he invited me to go bar hopping with his friends. They are all really funny, and I had a blast . . . . . . especially considering that as we continued to bar-hop, the locales got shaddier and shaddier . . . . . . .

The second bar we went to, it was explained to me that it is frequented by older men and young women who want to make some "pocket money" from benevolent patrons . . . . . . I am so glad he told me, otherwise, I never would have noticed, lol!

We then HAD to walk through the red-light district to get to the next pub . . . .

This shit was sad but hilarious at the same time! So, imagine a Diagon Alley-esque set up (For those of you who are not familiar with Harry Potter, imagine a really small alleyway that about four ppl. can walk through

So, we're walking through, and I am expecting the prostititues (who, in Germany, are legal workers, and have health insurance) to be on the street . . . . no, that would be unprofessional . . . . . these women were in small rooms with glass windows that could be opened all the way to let their customers in. You could see the goods from a safe distance, and then make your decision . . . . . what tripped me out about walking through this street was a few things

1) People my age were trying to buy some time! (that just seems really weird to me, but, go in, do you)
2) That about half of them were black (this saddened me, but okay)
3) That they had every type of fetish you could want . . . . . grandmas, super-huge breasts . . . . a few other things, lol
4) THIS IS THE KICKER . . . . . you could PAY WITH YOU MASTERCARD/CHECKCARD

WHAT THE FUCK!!!! . . . . . Do you know I can't buy groceries with my credit card . . . . . but I can buy some Red Light Booty . . . . . . . THAT AIN'T FOOD, see, when ppl ask me which country is better, I'ma say, "i don't know, but I can buy food with a credit card in America . . . . . ."

I almost passed out . . . cuz I could not help but wonder what would show up on your billing statement after paying for this service . . . . . .

Hoe-stroll, Girl 119 . . . . or just simply . . . . Vagina?

At any rate, everybody had a chuckle at my expense because I have never seen anything like this . . . . . . yeah, just another day in the life, I guess . . . .
