Betel Nut Girls of Taiwan

Recently I came through the following video while I was watching some YouTube videos about Taiwan. It is a short documentary about Bin Lang Girls in Taiwan (a.k.a as Betel Nut girls). I wrote more about them in my old post few years ago when I was in Taiwan, I used to see them in their booths every in Taipei. From the way they are dressed and from the small little booths with colorful lights that they sit inside, one may get wrong impression of them taking as prostitutes. But they claim that it has nothing to do with it, and it's all about selling this tobacco like betel nut. People chew them and get some buzz from it. One thing's true; this whole betel nut industry has got lots of money in Taiwan!
