Amsterdam's red light district "open day"


Heard on the TV news this morning:

Amsterdam's famed red light district held its first ever "open day" last Saturday as several topless bars, peep shows and sex show clubs gave crowds of wide-eyed visitors free entry in order to improve the area's reputation. Local politicians are calling for a crackdown after recent reports of petty crime, gang violence, forced prostitution and human trafficking caused a public outcry.
Hundreds of tourists and locals seized the opportunity to see a prostitute's bedroom, watch a brief live peep-show or chat to a lap dancer.
