This is really sad. I lived in Saigon for a time (D7) and saw a lot of Korean men with native “girlfriends”. Actually, there’s just a lot of young Korean men who went to Saigon in groups and you could totally tell what their purpose was in the city. There’s a great deal of Korean-Vietnamese children in Saigon, and it got to the point where the Korean government (I think…) had to get involved and track down some wayward men to help pay for their illegitimate children’s needs.
Don’t understand why guys can’t use condoms. Why take the risk of having a one night stand come find you a decade later and demand you pay ten years of child support? This seems really shortsighted.
My mate’s dad went to Bangkok for fun and decided not to use condoms because it didn’t matter as he was old (70s). Now the silly sod has hepatitis B.
I was staying at this hotel in Pattaya where most of the residents were prostitutes (don’t ask), and a lot of the women there had kids left behind by sex tourists. The saddest was a half-Japanese kid who had serious developmental issues resulting from a failed abortion.
I meant for the Korean men now. A lot of them work in Vietnam through Vietnam-Korean trade.
But there was a great deal of violence committed by Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. Quite a collection of eye-opening pictures at the War museum. (And yes, I get that it was wartime, but the amount of war crimes committed by Korean soldiers that was never answered to is sickening)
Also yes, I’m aware there is a lot of Korean men who engage in the sex trade in the Philippines. Apparently, they also engage in pedophilia, which is absolutely horrifying. I think Korean men are the number one customer of child prostition.
I can’t begin to imagine the mentality of someone who would refuse to at the very least contribute financially towards their child’s upbringing. There are some nasty, selfish wankers out there.
Well I don’t think sex tourists would be responsible men in the first place and I would guess that the pregnancy tends to be discovered after these guys have left the country.
