You are right, beside the North Caucasus region, which is culturally highly interesting and where many girls have persian...

Nice photo reportage today in the GREAT englishrussia site.

An amateur "Ural Striptease Championship" obviously shot in a dump somewhere between Magnitogorsk and Perm. It's a very nice would say...

Interesting article about Krasnodar (in Russian).

Seems to be a great party place.

Zhitomir is also pretty low on the list. Could be a good destination, population about 330, 000. It seems to be a good source, judging by the number of Zhytomir girls on dating sites.

Noticed that Ibis opened recently new branches in Russian provinces, which ensures humanly priced decent accommodation:

Seems like a nice city, or at least, as nice as a Russian city can be. The largest city (1. 2 million people) in Southern Russia.

The proximity of Caucasus also surely ensures a high ratio of...

LOL. Maybe in New Jersey? (smilie)

Great report, Jake, spasibo.

Could be a cool destination for the summer. Heard (from an internet contact who lives there) that there was a lot of nice natural beaches on the Yenesi river crawling...

It's Slutlover's great reports that gave me the desire to hit Koktebel and Sudak. Furthermore 90% of the Ukrainian dyevs I met those past holidays in Kharkov told me they loved to go there to relax,...

Hang out in bars and clubs. I"m a thirsty party-goer, and admittedly prefer booze to girls. (smilie)

Luka, I will surely spend an extended period in Krimea this summer (Koktebel or Sudak). I have a stable of Kharkov dyevs eager to visit me there. Let's hook up there if you want. PM.

Well, as the lenght of my scheduled vacations obliges me to cut the daily spending, I lowered my ambitions and forgot about Vladivostok or Ufa to go to Kharkov, following in that the wise and...

i understand your bitterness bez. must be hard to be stucked unemployed in a trailer park in rural iowa when others are planning two monthes trips to candyland.

i sympathize.

BTW Latexian, bumped on your post in the Ukraine threads. Which East Ukraine city (with a decent weekdays nightlife, something primordial for me) would you recommend for a long stay ?

What are...

From what people at embassy told me, you can stay up to three monthes (which is the max period allowed each year in Belarus) on a touristic visa. You have the adequate LOI though.

Thanks for your...

thanks latexian for this elaborate and useful answer.

admittedly, as i plan a two monthes trip, budget is a matter of prime importance. my budget for per day expenditures (including accommodation)...

Thanks Luka for your refreshing enthousiasm, I appreciate, really. Makes me pondering to the old adage "who dares win", something any monger should keep in mind instead of procrastinating about...

Thanks Dogger,

It's unfortunatly fucking expensive. Accommodation is what keeps me away from provincial Russia. NO WAY I going to pay 130€ for a 3/4 stars Soviet hotel when one can get the...

Could you say what kind of rate you got at those two hotels?

Thanks

How no one (except Bez with his usual quibbling) thought about congratulating you for this very informative, added-value and elaborate post is beyond me.

Thanks for this great overview of N.N.

Just bumped into Latexian's great analysis.

What about the costs (accommodation, dining out, partying, ect) in the "poorer" European Russia areas?..are they significantly lower than in wealthy...

How would you rate Chelyabinsk, Kurenda ?

I know that provincial Russian cities are pretty much all the same, but Chelyabinsk seems to me rather interesting, off the beaten tracks (out of the...

Just bumped into your post. Interesting indeed. A city with pleasant areas to stroll around is definitely a plus.

Thanks for the info.

And are you proud of publicly bragging that you "hate french" in an international forum where - some - french contribute ?

Your "participation" here is just 10 posts of silly, rambling,...
