Prostitution is Illegal

For as hard as the Chinese government cracks down on the Internet, they don't seem to give a fuck that there are illegal brothels operating everywhere. No wonder nerds think this place is so tight. So far, I've learned of at least 4 business that are generally fronts for prostitution. The funniest by far (and most common) is the Barber Shop. Less than 2 blocks away from our house are streets filled with barber shops, open until very late in the night. They have spinning barber shop poles and everything, and girls sit inside lurking out at the dudes passing by. So fucking strange. Karaoke bars, sushi restaurants, massage parlors, (and probably bath houses) apparently fall into that category as well.
