Hostess bars (or are they called hostess clubs?) came up in conversation recently. I'm not sure I understand this whole hostess bar thing, and I never realized that there were so many in Hawaii.
Is it an Asian tourist thing? Are they like strip clubs? Do girls really hang out and chat with the patrons all evening, or are seedy things going on behind the scenes?
Sorry for my naievety, and bringing this up, as it may turn out to be a delicate subject, but I honestly don't get this hostess bar/club idea. Seems to me that a nice guy can talk to a pretty girl anywhere in Waikiki...?
