  • SEX INDUSTRY TOURISM. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Taxi girls, prostitutes, serve foriegn tourists & Khmer, Cambodians. The sex industry is part of the fabric, servicing all classes of Cambodian society. Girls are forced into prostitution because of poverty and corruption that exists across the country. People might earn 1 to 2 $ per day, even less in rural areas, so the lure of prostitution is high. Families can sell young girls, virgins, for several hundred dollars. Cheap brothels line the streets in parts of the city centre, near railway tracks, and on the periphery. Sex for Cambodians at cheap prices in the street brothels, as low as 1 $ US, to exorbitant fees in penthouse hotel suites for the rich. Sex tourism industry attracts Western and Asian tourists typically paying 10 - 30 $ US. Expressions such as 'yam yam', eating, for a blowjob 'bam bam' for intercourse. There are 'lady-boys', youths, who use the money to pay for  sex change operations. Prostitutes spend lots of money on make-up, clothes, and mobile telephones. They live in squalor. Due to public advertising campaigns and outreach work, Aids and HIV cases have dramatically decreased, in Cambodia, since the late '90s. Condoms are encouraged, are cheap and widely available. This is seen as  a success story by medical and health authorities. There are risks as ex-prostitutes known as 'sweethearts' don't use condoms with their partners. Brothels, v & madams take their cut, but many taxi-girls work as free agents. Bars, pool halls or beer gardens have staff and taxi-girls available to service male clients, some work as barmaids or escorts. There is violence against prostitutes; gang-rape and murder by Khmer gangs. Once a girl has worked as a prostitute it is unlikely she can ever marry.///Policeman counting out his share of the brothel's earnings

  • SEX INDUSTRY TOURISM. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Taxi girls, prostitutes, serve foriegn tourists & Khmer, Cambodians. The sex industry is part of the fabric, servicing all classes of Cambodian society. Girls are forced into prostitution because of poverty and corruption that exists across the country. People might earn 1 to 2 $ per day, even less in rural areas, so the lure of prostitution is high. Families can sell young girls, virgins, for several hundred dollars. Cheap brothels line the streets in parts of the city centre, near railway tracks, and on the periphery. Sex for Cambodians at cheap prices in the street brothels, as low as 1 $ US, to exorbitant fees in penthouse hotel suites for the rich. Sex tourism industry attracts Western and Asian tourists typically paying 10 - 30 $ US. Expressions such as 'yam yam', eating, for a blowjob 'bam bam' for intercourse. There are 'lady-boys', youths, who use the money to pay for  sex change operations. Prostitutes spend lots of money on make-up, clothes, and mobile telephones. They live in squalor. Due to public advertising campaigns and outreach work, Aids and HIV cases have dramatically decreased, in Cambodia, since the late '90s. Condoms are encouraged, are cheap and widely available. This is seen as  a success story by medical and health authorities. There are risks as ex-prostitutes known as 'sweethearts' don't use condoms with their partners. Brothels, v & madams take their cut, but many taxi-girls work as free agents.

  • Two women having fun with a water pistol full of alcohol. Fun, dancing, music, socializing, inebriation, slightly or very drunk long nights are al part of the Feria d'Abril..The Feria de abril de Sevilla, "Seville April Fair" dates back to 1847. During the 1920s, the feria reached its peak and became the spectacle that it is today. It is held in the Andalusian capital of Seville in Spain. The fair generally begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, Easter Holy Week. The fair officially begins at midnight on Monday, and runs six days, ending on the following Sunday. Each day the fiesta begins with the parade of carriages and riders, at midday, carrying Seville's citizens to the bullring, La Real Maestranza...For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are covered in rows of casetas (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). Some of these casetas belong to the prominent families of Seville, some to groups of friends, clubs, trade associations or political parties. From around nine at night until six or seven the following morning, at first in the streets and later only within each caseta, crowds of people party and dance Sevillanas, traditional Flamenco dances, Sevillan style drinking Jerez sherry, or Manzanilla wine, and eating tapas. Men and women dress up in their finery, the traditional "traje corto" (short jacket, tight trousers and boots) for men and the "faralaes" or "trajes de flamenca" (flamenco style dress) for women. The men traditionally wear hats called "cordobés".

A Czech made diesel locomotive, leaves the capital Saturday morning, arriving in Battambang 22 hours later in the dead of night, and returns on Sunday. Max speed is about 30kmh, often slower due to the track's terrible condition. Carriages are dilapidated, with holes in the floor and only spaces for windows. Passengers sit or sleep on hardwood bench seats, hammocks, or on the floor of cargo carriages. The drivers, controllers & guards add to their small monthly pay by charging for local passengers and cargo; from motor bikes and local produce to timber loaded aboard at the 30 stations along the route. This together with other trains and farm vehicles further slows the journey. In rural areas, the track is a lifeline, and used for local transport on 'bamboo trains' powered by belt-motors, or pushcarts. Boom towns, with a 'goldrush mentality' near the rapidly depleted rainforest, are a hive of activity, with logging as their resource, where children workers even gamble away their earnings on cardgames. In the city, the railway has a life of its own, where people live and work nearby or on the track itself.

  • RUBBISH DUMP RECYCLING. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Smokey Mountain, Steung Mean Chey, is Phnom Penh's municipal rubbish dump. Thousands work there, some 600 minors and 2000 adults, recycling the city's rubbish, dumped there by garbage trucks every day. The dump is notorious as many very young children work there. People eat and sleep overnight in the rubbish and fumes, under plastic tarpaulins or in the open air. They work 24 hours a day, like miners, with headlamps at night, collecting plastic, metals, wood, cloth & paper, which they sort and clean, weigh and sell, to be carried away for recycling. A day's work typically brings less than a dollar per person. One and a half to two dollars per day per family. The overpowering, acrid odour of grey smokey fumes blows across the dump, from which the place gets its name 'Smokey Mountain'. It can be smelt miles away. The shantytowns and squats, the recycling worker's homes butt onto or are inside the dump itself. There is no running water, sanitation and many are ill. Children often work with friends or relatives. Religious and ngo's help some children, but this is often resisted by families who need the extra income they generate.///Workers, silhouetted against the setting sun, recycling at sunset in Smokey Mounatin rubbish dump

The workers have no breaks except whilst eating.
