Novosibirsk is the Bangkok of Russia. If you can speak Russian, you'll be OK.

can you give me some specifics on where to go in irkustck and novosibirsk (and tomsk) how much i should be paying etc please? does it matter if I dont speak much russian?
Both cities are very cheap, but if you don't speak Russian and your visa is not in order, well, it will certainly be memorable.
my god there are some beautiful ladies here! anyway, from what I have worked out, there are phone numbers you call and the girls are delivered to your hotel. what hotels in irkutsk and novo... are girl friendly in this regard and how much should I expecct to pay? do you know of any good phone numbers?
also are there any sort of brothels which one go visit - which may be easier than asking for a young blonde lady who speaks english on the telephone! thanks for you help
Explorer8939-
I've seen your postings around - thanks for the information, you seem to have some knowledge of the Russian cities. I am looking to travel for two months in Russia next summer. I have some ideas about settling in a city for a few weeks, renting an apartment, experience the local action, then moving on to do the same in another city. For various reasons I've got Novosibirsk, Omsk, Ekaterinburg and Ufa in mind. I know you previously mentioned that Novosibirsk is the Bangkok of Russia ( I hope to be intermediate conversational by next summer - using Pimsleur). Can you elaborate on any knowledge or opinions you have of this city and the others? What about the safety in these cities? I always think safety is a lot of common sense, but then one reads the latest report on Voronezh and begins to wonder.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hey I read on a newspaper that IRKUTSK girls are the beautifulest girls in the world. The paper said that Moscow guys (in communist period) were doing the travel to look for a wife (it's 2000 km from Moscow)
Maybe you should go there to see if it's real ...
Bye.

I tend to use this one:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr
I also use http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr
it's allright , though it dosen't seem to understand figures and amounts.
Here is a very useful site.
http://www.eatlas.ru/scripts/ymap.dll/english/dmap.html?name=1061808283670&w=354&h=280&map=msk_eng&group=english
this is a mapping site in both English and Russian.
(the link is to the english version)
It allows searches for streets/metros etc. Extremely useful for finding those private apartments or showing someone where you need to go.
I have printed out both an English (transliterated) map and Russian cyrillic map of where I will be staying. It will make it easy to show a taxi and for me to follow stret signage.
I hope it is of help to people.

I use www.translate.ru for my Russian translations.

Here is a very interesting way fing the regular Russian Pros. If you speak Intermediate to Good Russian you can go directly to this site:
http://omen.ru/love/poiski.htm
For those of you like me who only speak a little Russian first open this site:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and paste the omen.ru/love/poiski.htm link into the web site translator.
Most of these women probably speak little or no English but since the prices, phone number and sometimes even the metro stations they live at are there you should be able to at least meet them outside a station and sort figure out business. The prices per hour, 2 hours and Night are at the bottom of each page and there are women there for EVERY taste (old, young, fat, big breasts, 2 girls, BSDM, Anal, Etc.)
The site has info for all of Russia but only St. Petersburg and Moscow seem to have alot of entries.
The only this I can say is that I have NOT been to any of the women here as I have a new Russian lady friend. If she does not work out then I will happy to give my first hand experience with the above site.
The only cautionary rule here is that if someone wants to rob you going to thier apartment and having 5 big Russian guys mug you wouldn't be hard so meeting them at a metro station deciding to go to their place or yours is up to you.
Also, for anyone who speaks almost no Russian and can still manage to meet the girl a print out in Russian of her website with the prices clearly on the bottom will prevent "Gringo price hikes". Thanks to MIKE #3 for pointing me to this site
