Many technical intern trainees, particularly those from Vietnam, seem to be attractive and also interested in earning more money.

Scary, really scary. It’s probably safest not to get involved. If anything happens, the authorities may start scrutinizing the whole operation, and the system itself could even be shut down. Someone I know is a board member of an organization that accepts technical intern trainees. Just one trainee getting pregnant becomes a major incident—it ends up in the newspaper, and they’re pressed over their supervisory responsibilities by the authorities. It sounds like a real ordeal. A lot of people also run away or go missing. If one of them turned out to be registered with the club, the club would probably be raided and that would be the end of it. The technical intern trainee system itself has a lot of murky aspects, and it’s a sensitive issue—side jobs are strictly prohibited, after all. So I think the right answer is not to get involved. If you want to meet women from Southeast Asia, why not try Da Nang or Hanoi? I think you can easily take someone home from a bar beer or a go-go bar in the entertainment districts. That might be the better option.
