There were not many people at the backlane. There were a few stalls selling sex toys and drugs. It was just a day or two after the raids by the HSA and police for dangerous drugs. At one stall I saw a the peddler selling something that looked like viagra to a man who looked like a foreign worker. More raids are needed.
As for the prostitutes, they were old and many were fat - not attractive.
After Desker Road I went to Petain Road. Also not many people. There was a stall selling sex vcds. Several brothels were not open. Those that were open had only a few women. I think many have not come back from the Chinese New Year festival. They were only a bit younger than those at Desker Road, but also not attractive.
