Suddenly I feel that Australia should also be affected by the economic downturn.
Just now, I was drinking with a friend who does brothel business. He said that business at large brothels has fallen off a cliff, which means fewer good-looking foreign girls are coming—then business gets even worse, creating a vicious cycle. He’s planning to sell off the operation and stop.
Then I asked about the “private escort” business. If this is considered a high-end business, shouldn’t it be fine for students abroad? He said it’s also been hit pretty hard. Some established private-escort intermediaries aren’t satisfied either, which has led to a lower willingness among girls coming from overseas. Previously, a “Sakura girl” could charge 550 an hour, but now the price has dropped to 450—focusing on thin margins and quick turnover.
However, according to what he said, the number of local international students who go into sex work has actually increased, because for many of them, their families have genuinely cut off support or reduced living expenses. Since they have to pay their own tuition or maintain high spending, they have to put in more effort 😂😂😂.
See what’s in the small and you can infer what’s in the large—everyone is working hard during these days when the economy is down.
Think about it: even if things aren’t great in our circle, at least there are still opportunities to make money. I’m pretty satisfied.
