FaceBook - The new face of Batam's Online Prostitution
Typical night of a Bar Girl's work starts at 6pm, but they would have at-least started preparing 2hrs before to do the makeup and dressing. Once they are in the Bar, usually in a row of bars along Nagoya Entertainment District (NED) or Kampung Bule as locals say, they login in to Facebook, start streaming live sexy videos to lure customers. Their target is white caucasian male (Bule) working in Batam's offshore oil and shipping industry. If the girl is lucky, the customer comes to the bar, have 2-3 drinks and take the girl to the nearest hotels paying them 1-2 million indonesia rupiah (100 USD) for the night. If nobody picks-up the girl, she continue streaming live video's in facebook into the wee hours of morning, hoping for the next day.
These young girls lured into Batam's sex trade by the pimps, usually the older girls who used to work in bars and not attractive anymore, from different parts of Indonesia, especially from sunda region.
The girls are also hooked in to obat (drugs) like ecstasy and shabu (methamphetamine) and can be seen selling their bodies for it in the streets.
