Blinded by the red lights.....

So in my latest bid to prove that I actually am cultured, I have taken a trip to Frankfurt to visit the Christmas markets. Apologies in advance for any spelling mistakes as the y on the keyboard is actually a z and spell check isn't working because it's set to German language!!

So some may think it would be a delightful trip but I am actually staying in a well known red light district area!!! Directly across the road from me are sex dens aplenty, one graciously named "The Sex Inn". The sex industry is most definately alive and kicking here to say the least!!!

I'm not sure of the terms and conditions of the whole situation but it appears to be legal and common practice. Last night whilst drying my hair in the bathroom (my bathroom, not one in the sex dens), I counted 27 men going in to one particular building...it takes me 20 minutes to dry my hair so that's an average of 1.35 men entering per minute, absolutely scandolous!!! And not an eyelid was batted at them!!!

Pretty easy way to make money but with 27 men in 20 minutes you couldn't be anything but raw after it. Although in their defence they never approached us when we were walking past but in fairness a family with 2 underage children are hardly going to be interested in that sort of thing...or are they? I don't know so I won't make any judgements incase I offend any of my fellow classmates.

Anyways the point I am trying to make is that with it all above board the whole thing seems to be fully accepted in the city. Actually they don't seem to be ashamed of it at all which I find rather disturbing because I don't really agree with the situation but being the open minded person that I am (joke) I am willing to sit in the hotel lobby (with my hat , scarf, gloves and jacket on because it's absolutely freezing) and be blinded by the lights
