I sat back looked at the chosen location...Bali. Its a rather unusual place to have a conference of this sort. The “real” tourists who normally go there? Two bombings in recent history (2002, 2005)...have impacted tourism to some degree. The big crowd of Australians that used to go...somewhat down. The Europeans...still mostly in force. A fair-sized portion of the visitors to the island...are there for the sex trade...either women, transsexuals, or underage girls. The gov’t there admits that prostitution is absolutely illegal...but they aren’t discouraging anyone from the trade. There are at least 3,000 on the island who have AIDs...and in October...there was a massive government effort to train the hookers on the use of condoms. This effort was likely tied to the fact that well over 10,000 delegates were destined to arrive on the island...along with at least 2,000 media-players from across the globe.
Why would the big guys in the UN select Bali? You can take a guess why. Various UN-provided credit cards will be utilized for services during the stay...and everyone will note the services as “in-room” entertainment.
“Why would the big guys in the UN select Bali?”
I think the term is called “soapy massage”.
