I have just finished reading a book called ‘Sex Slaves’ which is about the traffricking of girls into the Asian sex market. My god that is a rough read, makes you question our fellow humans, basically it talks about young girls, children that are stolen, tricked, or sold by there families and taken to a big city, their virginity is sold and they are raped repeatively by paying men, eventually they are seasoned where the continual rape becomes a reality, if they are lucky they make a little bit of money, if unlucky, they are 19 with full blown aids and kicked onto the streets to die. Wow, that was a little dark.

On a brighter note, Mandy and I had a wicked time in NZ, off to Auckland tomorrow and fly out to Argentina on Tuesday, looking forward to it.

HOpe all well with you and La Familia

But, it is a catch 22…without the tourism, those same people have an even slimmer chance earning a living. I’m curious if you felt the same guilt by association when you visited Thailand’s infamous ping pong shows though. Just playing a little devil’s advocate:)
