namaste dosto the dance bars of
kathmandu are a total scam
to drain the pockets of men
so tonight let's go inside
let's see how they operate
and hopefully this will be enough to
open tourists eyes
because i've heard too many stories of
men naively going into these places and
losing hundreds of dollars
or worse being blackmailed and robbed
[Music]
hello hi how are you guys
hi
how are you
thank you
[Music]
oh
[Music]
welcome to a dance bar the setup is
simple you've got the overpriced bar and
food
there's seating around the stage
and then there's about 20 working girls
just standing around waiting for
customers
the dancing that goes on here isn't
traditional folk dancing it's not even
satna chotari level it's mostly just
uninspired
they're called dance bars but they're
really nothing to do with dancing the
real business starts when a girl comes
and sits next to you
[Music]
what's your name
[Music]
[Applause]
what's that
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
i am such a loser
up in the club showing a girl my baby
cow sweetie it's grown up now our
neighbor has a camel too and those are
not jokes
anyway
the girl's job is to flirt with you
and make you spend as much money as
possible on overpriced food and drinks
the second you stop buying them drinks
they get up and leave very very quickly
it's all an act to drain your wallet
and here's another trick they use
so the girls can drink more their drinks
are watered down
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now the crazy thing is
some men actually don't understand that
the flattery and the flirting is all
fake
it's all an act
maybe they're naive and it's their first
rodeo
but there's nothing else coming at the
end of a night besides a massive bill
some dance bars do have attached massage
parlors
but there's also a huge risk in going to
these two which i'll talk about in a
second
[Music]
i think sanjay sums it up really well
with his online review
no star but had to share my view
this place is a place of gangsters
someone from the street will attract you
by false promises and take you to that
place
and then you realize that you are
trapped
you will lose all your money and izat
too
is that means respect
they badly misbehave as well
if you're entering a dance bar
you should know what you're paying for
okay you're paying for a girlfriend
experience
maximum that is is it right
and a lot of other things can happen as
well so oftentimes the girl will
proposition
you
and
to take you upstairs
and once you get upstairs
you'll blackmail you
they'll tell you they're going to call
the police on you you've done something
wrong
and
you're going to get robbed
and someone i know
lost a thousand dollars american
through that by going upstairs with one
of these girls from the dance bar
so you got two options if that happens
right
you can pay and get out of it or you can
call their bluff because they are not
going to the police right they might
call their friend who's a cop but it's
all just to scare you so you can call
their bluff they're running an illegal
operation this is organized crime they
they're not gonna go to the police
they're not really gonna go to the
police with you okay so you can try and
call their bluff and another way they
might try and rob you is they'll add
extra items to your bill and
you know you've had a few drinks so
you're not in the right state of mind
you might not even notice but you might
get a shock and be like wow i spent that
much
so at minimum
you're gonna waste a ton of money
you might get a girlfriend experience
out of it
and at maximum
you could be blackmailed
and robbed be careful out there guys
[Music]
but i know for sure
[Music]
see ya
i want to be
