Reeperbahn being the Red Light District of Hamburg, one nice S-train stop away from our hostel.
From my German friend Dirk: You can have a whopper at Burger King and at the same time take a look out of the window and see hookers at work contacting every passerby. How cool is that?
More on that later. I made a short trip to Hamburg to join up with Longjin, Khelvin and Weihan for a few days. After checking out the hostel and not finding them, I went out to sightsee on my own. It's straight out of Lonely Planet, but hey, I have PHOTOS!

St Pauli Fischmarkt. But no real fish market since I was there on a weekday. According to Dirk, they fence off their lousier grade fish to drunks who were out all night and on their way home. I guess they deserve to wake up to a crappy fish to remind them that drinking is bad (yes this is hypocritical).

Me and Dirk. I look damn gross in the photo - thanks to a whole day of junk food (KFC CRISPY CHICKEN), beer and cola.
We checked out the DOM Fun Fair on our first night after an uneventful walk down Reeperbahn. Left our cameras behind because we probably thought we were gonna get mugged or something. Food tents, roller coasters, games tents - we combed the whole area and ate all sorts of stuff like curry wurst, candy apples and steak. Amusement parks are just great fun.
THOSE UNDER 18 PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER.
Righto.. What to expect at Reeperbahn? Pimp daddies along Reeperbahn luring you to enter the live sex shows, hookers grabbing your jacket if you're a single male walking along their territory looking remotely interested. On the 2nd night Dirk showed us a small alley which had more high class hookers wearing lingerie sitting behind windows. Feel free to knock on the windows and have a nice chat with them. We agreed that the girls did look quite fine and could speak decent English, plus they had a certain level of class and charm (what I would call X-factor) about them. I guess this Window thing operates on a much larger scale in Amsterdam, but people told me the quality control in Amsterdam just isn't there :P
