So, I just got back from my first vacation in Hawaii. I went to Oahu and stayed in Waikiki. It was an amazing experience and has motivated me to become a permanent resident of the islands.
However, that is not the topic of this thread.
The first night we were there, my friends and I decided to go bar hopping. Now, I've done more than my fair share of bar hopping, but I was absolutely not prepared for what I found in the seedier areas of Honolulu, walking distance from Waikiki beach.
We went into this bar for a drink; it was relatively slow with less than ten people at the bar and even less in the booths. Before we even found a place to sit, we were each greeted by our own BEAUTIFUL korean woman (none of them could have been over 30). They came at us STRONG. Mine came right up to me, said "my name is Mi-mi, whats your name?" I told her my name and she said "you are very handsome boy. You make-a me horny." At that, I was thinking "uh, what?" Then she walked straight into my personal bubble, put her arms around my neck and started kissing my neck. I was caught completely by surprise, but I slowly started to pick up on what was happening. These women were paid to entertain the bar patrons. They were paid to sit and have conversations, but they were free to do what they like. The gimmick is, you buy them drinks whenever you buy yourself a drink, and they stay with you while you're at the bar. I had about $100 to spend out on the town that night, so I figured "why not? It'll be fun."
After the first $40, the girl was half naked trying to push my hand down her pants. Not going to lie, it was damned tempting, but my inner conscience started yelling that I was getting dangerously close to the prostitution thing and I suddenly felt disgusted and left. My friend went back the next night and didn't come back to the hotel until 4 in the morning. He said he spent $250 for about 8 hours of entertainment.
Has anyone else experienced one of these bars?
