Lauren Dongen Brothel ❤️❤️

About Utrecht

Oi, mate, brothel’s a bloody mess! We hates it! Been slingin’ drinks all night, yeah? Then them lasses stumble in, all dolled up, smellin’ like cheap perfume an’ broken dreams. Reminds me o’ *Amour* – “Things’ll get worse,” ya know? Old Georges in that flick, watchin’ his love fade, helpless – that’s me seein’ these girls. We hates it!

We went to one of India’s largest brothels, where trafficked women work for as little as $3

Bollywood hits rend the air—now loud, now muted, as doors open and close. This is a typical brothel in Sonagachi, the largest red light district in India, home to around 7, sex workers.

So, the meeting wraps up, and I’m outta there. I stroll down the Markt, and it’s buzzing. Dongen’s got this vibe, ya know? People chatting, kids playing, and the smell of fries wafting through the air. I can’t resist. I grab a frikandel from that little stand. Best decision ever!
