"prostitution is on the rise in Denmark"

Hi Fernando

I am a Danish citicen, and also living in Denmark after some years abroad.

The sex tourism has increased a little in Denmark, but not much(has always been a issue, since the late 60's) . And again mainly in the country-border areas close to Sweden (Copenhagen and Ålborg) and close to Germany (Southern Denmark). As this somehow seems to be kind of exportproduct, though I believe the girls are from Asia, Greenland and Eastern Europe....

Copywatch sellers are by the way also very aggressive in Bangkok say Sukhumvit road. This is also the road were a lot of the nightlife etc is. I used to go there a lot (nowadays less) due to the company I work for always seemed to book a Hotel in the middle of it (having some great Hotel discounts).

I believe the sellers think less tourist=they need to sell more to each individual. This gives a hassle for me as a business traveller getting sick of beeing attacked and insulted by the copysellers. This because i dont by anything from them anyway. But anyway, working fast and looking straight ahead helps

The sellers seem to have gotten much more aggressive during the economic downturn. The worst spot is lower Nathan road where they yell at you until you say something back to them. I am a photographer and I thought about doing a multimedia essay on it, rec...

Hi Hans, It wasn't my intention to highlight the sex industry in Denmark or draw attention to it but just an off- the- cuff analogy to humorize the statement made by the poster of this thread.Thank you for your brief insight and clarification of the matte...

No harm done ;-)

Hi Fernando No harm done. Denmark is (unfortunately) well known for its brothels and sexual freedom since the late 60s. Thats just how it is. But actually I believe, the only sex museum in the world, the Museum Erotica in Copenhagen closed some Month back...

flagship stores in HK and rep dealers are abundant

Yeah, I visited a lot of hte shops selling the genuine article, including the new flagship "mall' which is very impressive. When they saw me going in and out of shops and then not buying anything. It's like AH HAH. He can't afford it and they pounce.

The worst is some people believe it is a proof of intelligence to wear a rolex without

paying the price for one. I was confronted with this attitude quite a lot of times. Especially in Spain ( Catalunya, to be more precise) where I spend quite a lot of time, where it seems normal to wear a fake. One of my engineers got caught in Paris Charl...
