NO.

One of the dangers of living in a non-homogenous population: just about everybody looks like they might be from here.

True story.

My brother and I were biking along a highway and were about 20 minutes ahead of a pack of female racers. The road was lined with people waiting for the group of racers to come by. As we approached one vehicle, we could clearly see a guy inside taking lots of pictures. When we were really close, he lowered the camera and looked at his friend, face crestfallen and said, "Those are dudes!" My brother and I nearly fell off our bikes laughing.

One bar owner in our Patpong red-light area hired a bunch of ladyboys one time, because Japanese businessmen really liked to take them off for some personal recreation. But then the business season or whatever ended, and the Japanese customers dried up, so the owner had to let all the ladyboys go, because no one else wanted them.

I recall sitting in Big Dog Bar one time, right at the entrance to Nana Plaza, the big red-light "shopping center," watching the world go by, when I saw this older Japanese man running -- not walking but running -- to a taxi with two ladyboys in tow from one of the several ladyboy bars in the place. The Japanese may not be the onoly ones to patronize ladyboys, but they do seem really to like them.
