July 13th -- Seeing it first hand

First stop: Starbucks at Centraal Station
Before heading off to meet with two Red Light District policemen for an interview about prostitution, Andrea and I had coffee and sat in Centraal Station while going over the questions we wanted to ask.

Second stop: Red Light District police station
Though I will not go into great detail here about what I learned in regards to my research (energy better spent on writing my research paper), the police officers were so helpful with answering questions and even creating a powerpoint. We weren't ready to go when before our eyes, Officers Raymond and Richard had to help restrain a man as he was escorted into a police van. He had gotten into a disagreement with a sex worker and by the profanity coming from his mouth...he no longer liked her.

A little excited yet overwhelmed, Andrea and I talked the whole way home about the events of the night. It was a great opportunity that will most definitely do a lot for my research paper.
