Taxis originating from Frankfurt
[QUOTE=UltraHappy;2190577]Another thing to keep in mind is that the meter has a bit higher night rate. This will result in a higher charge for the same route when traveling late at night.[/QUOTE]There is another possibility. While the fare for local taxis is 10 euros, taxis from some companies based in Frankfurt have a significantly higher rate, and I have had to pay almost 13 euros should I happen to have to board one of these at night. Unfortunately, late at night, these Frankfurt taxis appear more frequently as they bring tourists in from Frankfurt.
Whenever I see a taxi with a Frankfurt address, I would ask for a fixed price at 10 euros first. Invariably, he would counter-propose to drive me to Frankfurt at a 'special price', and I would say no and walk out to the entrance to the driveway to find a local taxi. No problem with doing this as the local drivers do not like the Frankfurt intruders.
Recent visits to Oase and Sharks.
So I spent about a week at Oase and 1 day at Sharks. I've been to both places many many times. What makes the difference at any of these clubs is finding a girl to your tastes. That said, it is getting harder and harder to deal with the attitudes of so many of the girls, particularly the Romanians which is about 95% of the girls. Many girls will provide at best an indifferent service if you pay 50 Euros 'only' and then after that, pretty much ignore you forever after. At both clubs, upselling is much too common and annoying.
Though I was in Frankfurt for a week, I only spent 1 day at Sharks since I had a terrible experience with one of the prettier girls there--a very thin, flat chested but very pretty Romanian, possibly gypsy gal. She demanded that I not look at my watch and when she thought I did, became very angry. I ended the session right there, didn't 'finish', and gave her 50 euros to leave me alone. A number of girls will give you some kind of story (my house was taken from me, my mother is having an operation, etc).
That said, many of the girls at both places are still lovely, though I'd say the proportion of real beauties is going down. I think more and more Romanians are descending on the clubs and basically are out to get as much money as possible from you as quickly as they can. Some clearly would rather rip you off in one way or another than provide a decent service.
Since I've been doing to these clubs for years, I can say without question that this ugly attitude is very common among Romanians- a fact that no doubt has been noted many times before on this board. Poles, Bulgarians, Russians, Estonians and more are much more likely to give a decent experience. Go ahead, call me a racist, whatever, facts are facts.
Can anyone recommend any clubs- perhaps near Koln or Dusseldorf- that have more EE type girls and fewer Romanians? Much appreciated if so.
