And on the face iof it, a bunch of happy workers doesn't sound like they would make for "good television". But - we are still pursuing funding to complete our film. And we WILL make it interesting :) Tobie Openshaw Well – that’s a great oversimplification, of course … but yes, the majority of the girls we interviewed were no more discontented with their job that the average office worker.

There ARE no betelnut girls in Taipei city (well - hardly any) they were banned there. They way they dress is very different in different parts of the country. Down South you will see girls dressed in underwear only, but in the Taoyuan/Nankan area (where these pictures were taken) the girls have a dress code. Come and see for yourself anytime.

He pitched it to National Geographic twice and they knocked it back. The reason? Because there weren't any unhappy betel nut girls!" IS this the real reason why he was knocked back? Unbelievable!!! “He originally tried to produce a documentary about the girls. He pitched it to National Geographic twice and they knocked it back. The reason?
