But its not; there's plenty of prostitution in China or Japan for example, but getting caught or doing drugs is a whole other story. why is that?
Maybe I should rephrase the question, I'm not asking why prostitution is relevant. I'm asking why prostitution is relevant where other forms of illegal activities, mainly illicit substances, are not. I know for example in Indonesia, getting amphetamines is supposed to be the easiest thing, but what about China? Japan? Why does the contrast exist?

Tourism? I don't know about that, but I do know that adventurous people not only enjoy visiting new places on Earth, but also on bodies of different nationalities, literally.

One thing though - I was wondering if prostitution is actually legal here in Singapore. I can find a few legal articles prohibiting "sale of sex", however, they still exist out there under a few channels.
Is it supposed to be an open secret of sex trade or is it really legal?
