open to red light- AMS

They have sex and erotic museum.

I wonder how's the feeling n social situations of sex workers.

It's so open. So that means they are protected?

 

According to the website below..

http://www.amsterdam-advisor.com/amsterdam-prostitutes.html

 

"Just remember that many girls haven't told their family and friends about their vocation."

Really? But it's so obvious if they see their face...

"Why do the prostitutes do it?"

For most, lots of easy cash is the big motivator. Where else can a 20-year-old legally make thousands of euros a month, with no up front investment in time or money, no work experience or diplomas, and no bosses - but with the ability to set her own working hours, and lots of ways to fool the tax man?

Some researchers also point at problematic (sexual) pasts, even when prostitutes themselves often deny this. Being indebted appears sometimes to be a reason to join "the life".

On the other hand, the Dutch union of prostitutes (yes, there is one) says that especially prostitutes in clubs actually make much less than they hope or claim. The promise of lots of easy money does not always hold true, and prostitutes do not always want to see that

 

"So how does the Red Light District work?"
From about noon until long after midnight, the girls stand behind red-lit glass doors, dressed in fancy underwear, looking to attract the attention of passers-by.


Men walk up and down past the windows, and if they see a girl they like, they knock on her door, she opens and they shortly negotiate what will be done, for how long, against what price. If they agree, the man enters, and door and curtain close behind him.

 

"How much does sex cost?"
Amsterdam prostitutes behind the windows typically charge 50 euros for 15-20 minutes of oral sex and intercourse (both with a condom). Either one of those is 30 euros. If you want to stay longer, or do extra things, you usually have to pay extra, though a few offer extra services at no extra charge as their unique selling point.

 

Aren't they forced by circumstances?"
On the other hand, some argue that women wouldn't choose prostitution if they had another source of income. True, probably, but the same goes for many checkout girls or taxi drivers, of course. If you take the Red Light District tour run by the (former) sex workers of the PIC, they will tell you: "Don't look at these women as victims. This is their choice in a given life situation." While this goes for the majority, there have been proven cases of forced prostitution, too.

 

Who are their clients?"
A recent municipal investigation suggests that more than half of the clients are foreigners (tourists, business travelers etc.). Most are between 25 and 45 and they're from all walks of life: there's no difference in income or education between them and the average population. There are almost no clients under 20.

Casual observation suggest that many of the foreign clients are British. That said, older research suggests that anywhere between 15 and 25% of Dutch males have had sex with a prostitute at one point in their life. Each year, around 200,000 men (and the odd couple) visit a window prostitute in Amsterdam - this does not include clubs, home prostitution, escorts etc.

Hmm so they are working independently without owners. They negotiate and decide what they do for how much.

Seems better than Japan where sex workers are hired? Hmm but there are so called enjo kosai ( literally means supporting relationships ; young girls offer sexual service independently and the men pay for that) hmm but enjo kosai is much dangerous that girls sometimes do that without knowing risk.

It looks like kiyamachi in Kyoto, along the river.

 

I respect Netherlands for its openness.

 They respect same sex love marriage since long before. They allow marivana legally.

What has been recognized abnormal, this country has respected.

Kids adults everyone feel happy to see big balloons in front of the palace.

 

feeling love n freedom at Amsterdam ( stopover heading for Lima)

I love the open, torelant atomosphere of Amsterdam!

 

From Narita to AMS was around 19hrs.

I'm having 21hrs stopover time before flying to Lima so just roaming around the city.

 

From the airport to Amsterdam central station, it takes only 15or 20min.

( So convenient like Fukuoka airport 🛫)

 

You can travel even without Euro 💶 currency if you have a cred card.


f:id:jfc_maligaya:20190711114221j:image

Airport to Amsterdam central cost 5.5 Euro.

Cute !

When I was wondering at ticket machine, a young person who looked like MtF transvestite kindly helped me.

That person looked like biologically male and had nice middium lemgth hair, wearing black rockin skirt so naturally. I liked it.

 

After arriving central situation I was planning to visit Anne Frunk huis n asked  a local ppl how to get there.

Then an middle aged couple told me it's closing and in addition to that they guided me briefly around the central area like

You can walk around this area there are nice cafes we just had lunch, also there is a red light district if you are interested. That is very safe. No worries. Have a nice trip !! 😊

Ohh how kind ppl here are !!!!!

Also I found the street is so vast, including trams , road for walking ppl with the width of.. 3 cars maybe ? And separated roads for bikes 🚴

And I didn't see any convenience store. 

The atomosphere of the town itself seems to contribute the kind gentle feeling of the ppl.

There are many kind of ppl with diverse ethnicity. Asians Indians Caucasian African etc. 

Each ppl wear differently while in Japan ppl tend to wear what is in trend!?

Though there are H&M ZARA n even UNIQULO !

脳内わちゃわちゃ はじめての南米を前に。

リマin サンパウロoutの旅に出ます。

初めての南米。

空気を読まずに!?2週間のおやすみ。ありがたし。

社会復帰できるんだろうか。

なんかワクワクとドキドキとそわそわと心配と。

 

今宵もヨガクラスだった。

デリー時代の情景が駆け巡った。

なんでだろう。

デリーで働いた期間を、そろそろ、いまの仕事が越えつつある。

はやい。

先の不安がよぎるときや落ち込む時もあるけど、

飽きずに、結構自由度高くやらせてもらっているかな。

知足を忘れそうになるけど。

 

ヨガの先生はトレーニングから帰ってきたばっかりで、

学んだことは

ヨガを通して解放される、その人のエネルギーが満ちる

とのことだった。

 

解放。リリース。自由。

 

デリーを撤退したときすべてを失ったと感じて、

もう、いろいろ移動するのは、だめた、むり、みたいな気もしてたけど

やはり、動き回っているかも。

でも、いま住んでるとこも好き。

 

エネルギーが発散モードの時は、

パートナーを置いて(!?)色々出かけてしまう。

それを微笑ましくあたたかく見守ってくれる人がいいなと思う、、

まずは自分自身に自由と旅を思い切りゆるすことかな。

 

何を感じるだろう。

理想のイメージはどんなだろう。

 

祈り、自分とつながりなおし、

自分を超えた意思の声を聴くことができますように。

 

 

ペルーの主食 じゃがいも 特別な存在としてのとうもろこし

じゃがいもは日常、とうもろこしはお祝いごとの時のお酒(チチャ)の原料なのだそうだ。

 

じゃがいも、種類多いもんなぁ。
ペルー料理の代表的なもののひとつ、
パパラワンカイナ
(ワンカイナ の じゃがいも料理)
も、じゃがいも。パパがスペイン語でじゃがいも。

 

私はあまりじゃがいもを普段食べてない。
野菜なのに炭水化物…ならば玄米、となっている。
でもビタミンCも多いし、インド料理でも使うし、活用度あげたいところ。


Calbeeさんが研究してる、じゃがいも。
https://www.calbee.co.jp/rdde/nutritional/index.html

 

じゃがいもは寒くても育つ
3,000-4,000メートルの高度でも!
ティティカカ湖周辺が原産地といわれるそうだ。


とうもろこし育てられるのは3,000メートルまでで、水がいるので灌漑が発達したらしい。
灌漑に耐えるには土壌の浸食を防ぐ必要があるので、
階段耕地ができたのだとか。
インカの階段耕地は他よりさらに美的、大きな石をきっちり積み上げている。
お酒をつくるためのものだから、美しさも重視した、という説も。
一方じゃがいもは斜面まんまで、16世紀アンデスにきたスペイン人的には貧弱に見えて、とうもろこし程は注目して記録してもらえなかったとか?!
でも16世紀にきたスペイン人がじゃがいも持って帰って世界に広がったのだよなぁ。

アジア学院でみたじゃがいも畑は美しかったけどなー

 

じゃがいもの使い分けも知りたい!
パパ、以外にじゃがいもを意味する単語はあるのかな?
育ててみたいなじゃがいも…

 

しかし、輸出額300万ドルやけど、輸入4000万ドルなんや…13倍も輸入なの?!ファーストフードレストランのためのポテト、輸入らしい…国産ポテトは高いの?足りないの?なんか、な。輸出入それぞれのじゃがいもの単価がわかんないけど。


生産量は中国、ロシア、インドがスリートップ。
ロシア寒いしなぁ。インドは北のほうかな?なんか広い国が頑張っとるかんじやね。

Aseveró que de la producción total de papa, "solo exportamos 3 millones de dólares, mientras que importamos 40 millones de dólares de papa amarilla precocida congelada (las que se venden en restaurantes de comida rápida).

A nivel mundial el primer productor de papa es China, le sigue Rusia y luego la India.
