Wouldn't you know it... only last night an American woman next to me in a Chinese restaurant almost tore the waiter apart with her teeth. His crime was to have served her a Mei Kwei Lu in on of the...

Perhaps, but... those of us who don't live there still have to pay for the HOTEL! In early November I stayed in a low-key 4-star hotel in Moscow (Marriott Tverskaya) and paid 400 dollars per night -...

C'est que... I'm not THAT much of a non-Russian speaker: For instance, on several occasions I've been communicating with Russian (erm... OK, Ukrainian and Kyrgyz) women in the hostess bars of...

Stravinsky,

On the Russian front I'm doing better than you think! Walking back from NF I came across a square, featuring a big statue of a short man with sideburns standing in front of a theatre...

Just back from the city of the czars and I have to agree with the fellow mongers who warned me that there's not a lot to do for foreigners who don't speak Russian. In the end I just gave it a miss. ...

Stravinsky, your response is music to my ears (so to speak). :)

Anyway, you and the Doctor seem to assume that I've never been to Russia? That's wrong: I've visited twice, but admittedly to...

Ah, now we're back to the core of your argument, aren't we? A defence plaidoyer based on the insightful observation that "that's just the way it is".
Well, Stravinsky, answering an earlier question...

Yeah. The UK Prime Minister Palmerstone went into the same trap prior to the Crimean War. He was convinced that the Czar's propaganda machine had shot itself in the foot: "Going to war to drive the...

Yeah, I suppose it could be true. Mind you, she knew I was a foreigner and a total newcomer to the Moscow scene, so the "skittish" part doesn't apply. But any one of your other points of course do....

Several of you will remember that I asked for advice on contacting Moscow girls via email a couple of weeks ago. At least one person adviced me back then, as a foreigner with only the flimsiest...

yeah, well, sorry for "flogging a dead horse" but i really don't understand why you're being so aggressive, helena. the words i proffered, "the client is king", are not an assertive claim of...

Execuse me, Helena, but this is not good enough. If people dare to disagree with you, or godforbid criticise you, then that's because they're not right in their heads??? What happened to the old...

Hecker, yes, I do agree with you, but... hell, there's just something about my Protestant upbringing. You can talk till you're blue in the face, but in each kind of transaction there are certain,...

That's mostly true. Though, when it comes to P4P I put a question mark around NYC. If you avoid the pricier agencies and pick a private provider from Craigslist or some such site you come off...

OK, it's then settled. During my stay in Moscow I'll stay away from "temptations" and limit myself to a bit of sightseeing and dinner at my hotel. I don't want to pay significantly more than I would...

Your're probably quite right that, as a newcomer, I walked into that one on my big feet. Just "between the two of us", I had a bruising discussion some time ago on another country thread with a...

Let me start in the opposite corner, Pizdyets. For guys like me who (in the delicate phrasology of Stravinsky) are "totally clueless and expect to be catered for" the Moscow section of ISG is perhaps...

The problem is, I did. If you take much of the FF at face value you'd think the Moscow P2P scene has prices that are twice as high as Germany and the Netherlands (countries with about five times the...

Look, there's no reason to get nasty. First, I'm not an absolute beginner: I have plenty of mongering experience in Western Europe, Turkey and such more "exotic" places to which my business trips...

Sorry, but does anyone have experiences with emailing escort providers in Moscow? And, why do I ask such a silly question? Well, I'm preparing a trip to Moscow a few weeks from now - on business with...

So, Shelby, we should all insulate ourselves from this awsome risk by sticking to the online services that you recommend? Well... maybe. But, when I was a child out in hillbilly country, Denmark my...
