(1,216 posts)I stayed there for a week a couple of years ago, and can't wait to go back. Fabulous place, zero drug addicts, no street crime, fabulous FOOD, ultra modern infra-structure, the best underground hi-way system I have ever seen (after visiting 36 countries), the airport has 50 computers for free use by passengers with free internet access, and if you get sick they have the best hospitals.
And everyone speaks English!!!

Most nights, Lisa Jaafar heads to the Singapore red-light district of Geylang, and stands in the streets waiting for men to buy her services S$50 (US$37) for 30 minutes of her time. Five years ago, when business was brisk, she could earn more than S$200 in about five hours, then head home to her two children.
Working a five-day week, she would make about S$4,000 a month, tax free. But now, she says, there are fewer clients on the streets. Its probably not a reflection of city states economic performance, however. The signs are that the sex industry in clean, green Singapore where prostitution is legal is as vibrant as ever. Thats despite the fact most activities associated with the worlds oldest profession are outlawed.
Owning a brothel, pimping, online advertising of sex work, recruiting a woman, all are illegal, says Vanessa Ho, director of sex worker advocacy group Project X. Soliciting prostitution in public places is also illegal in the Lion City.
That doesnt stop such activities from taking place. Freelancers like Jaafar solicit on the streets, advertise their services online, and work under the cover of escort agencies. Then theres Orchard Towers, in the middle of Singapores busy shopping district, housing bars and clubs frequented largely by Western visitors and sex workers. The entertainment complex is cheekily known as the Four Floors of Whores.

Heck prostitution is illegal in United States, yet there are prostitutes right hear in every city of the US. And in Nevada prostitution is legal in some county. Ever heard of the Mustang Ranch?

(62,444 posts)Geylang is a great place to spend the evening, but there are plenty of obvious things going on there.
And then there is the world famous four floors of whores at Orchard Tower.
There are also plenty hanging out at even the touristy places like Clarke Quay.
These things were obvious without any underground knowledge of Singapore.

(62,444 posts)Clarke Quay is probably one of the most commonly visited restaurant and nightclub areas. Geylang was featured by Anthony Bourdain. If you have ordinary street awareness, some of the things going on in those places are difficult not to notice.
Where DID you go? Because there is plenty of prostitution going on all over Singapore.
It is not a crime there, incidentally. So I dont get your bit about drug addicted prostitutes.

(1,216 posts)visiting restaurants, visiting Golden Gardens, taking in ocean cruise from the cruise terminal, watching a cricket match (I grew up with cricket, and am severely deprived in United States of that sport), taking in bus tours of the city, shopping, etc. I never saw any street prostitutes, and was never mugged while walking streets at late evening hours. But like I said, the restaurants are always my main objective, and Singapore has fabulous Indian & Chinese food. If there were prostitutes in the restaurants, none accosted me, so how would I know if they were present?
