The Red Lotus

This two-story building does not particularly stand out from its neighbors. But unlike the cloth coverings that adorn most entrances, it features a wooden door painted with a red lotus. Soft music drifts from inside. Inside you see scantily clad women and men lounging around on cushions - several giggle and whisper to each other as you enter. Near an open window, a man plays gentle music on a flute-like instrument. Everywhere you look, there are red lotus motifs. A man - much more modestly dressed than the rest - approaches you with a friendly smile. "You have good taste to end up here! You are welcome to spend time getting to know our fine ladies and gentlemen. Please let me know if anyone catches your eye."
