We ended up staying in a hostel on the top floor of a nine-story brothel, aka Building 141. Organized prostitution is illegal, but if a lady works independently it is fine. So these buildings popped up where every apartment is rented by women of negotiable virtue
A cloud of tags is stuck on the door but no photo. You search online or knock - a lady opens, shows herself and names the price. Almost all busy. Crowds of men of all ages roam through the floors
Corridors are decorated too, cameras everywhere
Lady on the left is working, the one on the right is on a break
