I suppose I would have to go there with an appointment with my ears and eyes quite open.<BR/><BR/>oreneta... yes. What to do with the information? <BR/><BR/>Llukan... Maybe we should talk.<BR/><BR/>onortosu... if it was all rumours (and I hope it is), that would solve the dilemna.<BR/><BR/>ginnie... not sure they'd lose their job but they may be treated even worse.<BR/><BR/>Hockeyman... yes... and I'm torn between going and not going... but your argument seems reasonable.<BR/><BR/>belle_fleur... for sure bad publicity would be a powerful threat especially in Albania.<BR/><BR/>its... True. It's all rumour until I personally go there isn't it? Social services and local police? Hummm... I'll keep that in mind.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for everyone's feedback!

If you found out that this is for sure, we could arrange to write a story in the daily journals.

Here is the question- assume its true- do you think boycotting really helps those girls? Wouldn't it be better to be a regular customer and start a discussion among other regulars. <BR/><BR/>The best way to help those girls is to go to the spa..hockeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847068166241459979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-11975259081660283832008-01-20T19:59:00.000+01:002008-01-20T19:59:00.000+01:00Wow!

I like the idea of befriending one person (always making appts. with the same person) and building trust to find out the truth. Is that possible? Or will they be afraid of losing their job if they tell the truth!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-60602773196600016972008-01-20T17:11:00.000+01:002008-01-20T17:11:00.000+01:00Why don't you go just once and talk to the workers...Why don't you go just once and talk to the workers.

But even in Australia there are nail spas popping up on every corner - with only Vietnamese girls working there. I have used these places, believing that Australia would not allow these girls to be treated badly..... but there is always a little tickle in the back of my head that takes the edge off the pampering. Rumors can do so much damage. Anyway to find out for sure?Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037350189933791568noreply@blogger.com
