Brothels

I've always wondered how you know the girl is of legal age -- or maybe it doesn't matter?
every bar and other establishment where "working girls" are present,they must carry picture ID with them at all times,police go into these bars frequently to check IDs and when over 70% of all action is takeoout,every hotel asks for ladies ID at front desk to which they hold on to for your safety/security.

If ID was been doctored in anyway,hotel thinks lady is under 20(bar legal age) or if ladyboy(guys seem to overdrink there at cheap drink prices),hotel will not let them in and you say bye bye to lady and you hit the street back to bar to find someone else

Thanks for the info.
 
they switched to euro like 15 years ago or so

As currency it was only 2002 and I suspect you could use either for several years.

I was there around that time and the Red Light district was guilders as was a club I went to where you paid a rather hefty sum 400 guilders ( about $400 cdn at the time) to get into this place that looked like a bar except that there were only 'punters" and hot women. You bought them drinks and if you got along you would ask her to go upstairs - prepaid no extras.
