hotel/brothel sign in the Philippines (true story)

************************************

"Visitors Must Not
Come" - talk about 'no room at
the innuendo'!...

************************************






- a memory of my travels many years ago. In the same hotel/brothel (I was a few years into a ten-year backpacking trip round the world, so penny-pinching was a way of life) there was also a sign stating "No Solicitors".

Too many countries, too many fleapits - but I've never forgotten the two signs that brought a smile to my face. Nor the disconcerting little peepholes I later discovered in my room, gouged out of the flimsy partitions. Hey-ho...
