All the prostitutes I've seen here are either African (bargain bin) or
Russian (looking for a sugar daddy or anyone really). Of the later I
saw two tonight, who were both attractive in a really sleazy sense.
They spoke little Italian, little English, but kept eyeing me off,
even though I was seated opposite a girl already.

Yukk. However, I don't think I said anywhere that greece is the only country
with that level of dirt.

Lots of Greetings!

No, but you suggested that Spain or Portugal might be cleaner than
Greece. From my experience, that ain't the case. Nor is it the case for
NL, UK, France - or indeed anywhere else.

Some of the Nigerian Rome prostitutes were rounded up and repatriated.
There was some publicity at the time when some of them stripped naked at Rome
airport in protest and refused to board scheduled flights. They were eventually
shipped in military planes

They were far spread, at least from Anzio to Tivoli.
