Dancing with the Oldest Profession

Or is it the second oldest? I can never remember. In any case, the club scene in Baku is as homogenous as rural Wyoming.

Most clubs are filled with men and prostitutes. Not all of the men try to pick up the latter, and vice versa, but a good few will end the night on a decidedly good note. As a foreigner, you reek of money. Spend three minutes on the dance floor and I can guarantee you that you will have a girl dancing with you in no time.

The girls will go to great length, too. They'll take off their clothes, your clothes. Whatever it takes to close the deal. It's a surreal experience.

I'm just glad they're not aggressive like Egyptian papyrus merchants. I may never go to the club again if that was the case.
