Though some of your observations about Southeast Asia may be true I'm a bit offended by this gross generalization because such things can happen anywhere... I am biased in that I am Asian myself, having been born there, and travelling around places like Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, and Hong Kong and China... However, I have to dispel this whole conversation about Asia being a hotbed for sex-crazed people, or any other stereotype... Don't get me wrong, I'm a down-to-earth gal and I have nothing against the porno talk or sexual comments - and you are entitled to your opinions but please don't be ignorant if you've never been there yourself...
Thus, I'm not gonna continue this topic further because I'm not one to argue/preach or impose my beliefs... I'm just trying to be nice and informative, not a know-it-all, simply ask anyone around here...

C'mon, even I laughed when I saw Sawyer's PlayPens (Playboy + Penthouse)... If you have any questions about what it's really like, feel free to PM me (I've got some stories and the truth about the legal prostitution situation in Singapore and Manila

- it's like Europe, sex is a freedom or art viewed in a different perspective and unrepressed manner and there are laws that govern it (well most of it) - think Amsterdam)...
Anyway, I don't think that they are in Singapore... When Jack and Sawyer were playing cards Jack says that he learned how to play in Phuket... but certain spoilers suggest that the next epi might take place in [spoiler]Bangkok, Thailand...[/spoiler]... and yes, I've been to both places in Thailand...
