Hazel Ube Brothel ❤️

About Sapporo

Brothels ain’t just sex dens, nah. They’re history lessons wrapped in lace. Back in Victorian days, these spots were hush-hush, but EVERYONE knew the address. Like, some lord’d be preachin purity Sunday mornin, then sneakin in by dusk – hypocrite much? Made me mad, that double life crap. But also, kinda funny. I’m sittin there, sippin a dodgy whiskey, thinkin, “Their hearts beat faster here,” – straight outta Wong Kar-wai’s flick, that line. Fits perfect, don’t it? The air’s thick with want, but it’s subtle, sly.

In a Brothel Atop Street 63

We met up with Don Brewster – head of Agape International Missions, an NGO fighting child prostitution – to go behind the scenes at Cambodia's KTVs.

Man, what a day! I’m still reeling from all the craziness in Ube. Like, seriously, who knew this little city could pack such a punch? So, I woke up, right? The sun was shining, birds chirping, and I thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
