One tour called 'Sex in the City' and led by journalist Ulrich Mattner allows visitors in the German city of Frankfurt to learn more about the red light district. But there's a catch - the tour is for women only. Mattner's connections to people working in the red light district make him the best man for the job. He takes his female tourists to visit different sex workers, from dominatrix specialists to strip bar managers. Sometimes his tour participants even get to see Mattner tied and whipped like a customer.
Tokyo, June 17 (EFE).- Neon lights and giant posters with suggestive photos define Tokyo’s red-light district of Kabukicho, a place as popular as it is taboo among the Japanese and which is now in the spotlight for being a new hotspot of novel coronavirus infections.At nightfall and the end of the working day, the narrow streets of the area bustle with passersby in search of karaoke bars, izakayas (pubs) and a myriad of establishments that offer everything from a drink in company to covert prostitution.(Camera: ANTONIO HERMOSIN GANDUL)FOOTAGE SHOWS TOKYO'S RED LIGHT DISTRICT OF KABUKICHO.
Bangkok, Nov 3 (EFE).- The notorious red light district of Patpong has grown from a tiny neighborhood in the Thai capital on the sidelines of the Vietnam War, from where United States intelligence officers would run their clandestine operations, into an international hub and destination for the global sex tourism industry.Its decades-long history is being brought to life for the first time at Patpong Museum, located down one of the neighborhood’s many narrow alleys that house hundreds of brothels, through press clippings, photographs, videos and original Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documents.While the district might have lost the luster of yesteryear as the sex industry expanded into other parts of the city and the country, the museum’s owner Michael Messner predicts a brighter future.The museum traces the neighborhood’s development and evolution, from a banana plantation on the outskirts of the city in the 1950s to becoming the refuge and center of CIA operations during the Vietnam War and related operations in Laos.

The single-louvre radiator grille with chrome-plated trim elements and embedded central star characterises the front. The vertically aligned bars in the radiator grille emphasise the perceived value with their high-gloss black finish. The distinctive front bumper is partly made of dark grey, grained plastic, which emphasises the robust character of this model. Underneath it is a simulated underride guard in high-gloss chrome.This C-Class variant has wheel arch liners in matt dark grey on the front wing and on the rear side wall. The model-specific trim on the side skirts contrasts visually with the painted body surfaces in this colour and finish. An additional chrome trim strip is integrated into the side member trim. Exclusive wheel designs in sizes from 17 to 19 inches are available for the All-Terrain. At the rear, the newly designed multi-section bumper, the model-specific, chrome-plated load sill guard and the simulated underride guard underline the special nature of this vehicle.As the All-Terrain models are based on the AVANTGARDE exterior, the waistline trim, side window surrounds and roof railings are finished in polished aluminium. The trim on the B-pillars and the bars on the rear side windows are in high-gloss black. If equipped with the Night Package, further features (e.g. E-line, waistline, outside mirrors) and trim elements at the front and rear (simulated underride guard at the front and rear, as well as the load sill protection) are in high-gloss black.
