Usually when news reporters write about illegal or dubious activity, the information on how to exactly repeat the act is omitted. This time, however, YLE provided all the needed details on how to find prostitutes in Helsinki in their report.
In the interest of concise posting, I'll give the major details first:
- Go to Eerikinkatu, near Mannerheimintie
- Looks for Eastern European and / or Nigerian girls
- Be prepared to pay 60 - 150 Euros
- Your girl(s) will know an hourly hotel or an empty apartment in the area
- Aleksis Kiven Katu and Vaasankatu were the hotspots previously, but not so much anymore
Hopefully this is an effort at providing complete coverage with background from reporter Jarno Virtanen. I just happened to pick up on this because usually topics such as this have a little less detail. Perhaps this is common enough knowledge or not criminal enough for YLE to have no problem with it?
Oh, and as for the picture, I checked out the area in Google streetview (Eerikinkatu) and was surprised how the advertising system was clever enough to offer me "Naughty Women and Fun" via SMS contact. Either I browse for too much porn or Google is also aware of this place.
Oh well, I've lived years on Eerikinkatu. Prostitution is to be found more on the news by YLE than in reality on the street. Yes, I've seen a woman (supposedly from the former eastern block) going to a one of "The Omena Hotels". She was perhaps dubios somehow, nice looking.
ReplyDeleteAnd a scoop is needed by one reporter Jarno Virtanen:
"Katuprostituutio rehottaa yhä Helsingin keskustassa.". Hah.
