Plugging the Strip Club

A few months ago a strip club opened up in Toruń's Old Town. Now you get these girls in pink skirts with pink umbrellas marching up and down Ul. Szeroka trying to entice guys to spend some money in their club.

Don't want to be associated!!

Funny how most Polish shops are written in Polish...except when it comes to sex shops!

Antler Car!

For the past year I've been commuting to the small town of Inowrocław twice a week to teach. Although only 45 mins away this stretch of the road is always quite eventful. Parked in a layby one can see the strange site of a car with antlers lined up on its bonet. Come rain or shine, sleet or snow this car is pretty much always there. Guess the guy is a hunter trying to flog his wares to the public.

A few 100 metres further down the road, you can often see a prostitute waiting for trade. Believe it or not this is the main road to the German border and so traffic (and trade) is plentiful! Things are nothing like it was 5 years ago. Then there used to be a prostitute standing at any available layby. On an average day there used to be 6-7 standing along this stretch of the road. Now you can only find one. Guess the police have been cracking down on the Polish sex trade.

Sex Sells

In the UK, you would never have a large public banner advertising a local sex shop. Though of course you can find many sleazy sex adverts hidden away amonst the pages of glossy UK magazines.

Here our friend Howard, who recently popped over from the UK, points out a local Toruń sex advert.

It says it all...

This shop says it all really...
