Hi Sicariuos


You mean the hotel is in Tirasopol ?

Thanks

Well the hotel's name is Timoty and prices range from 30 to 50 euros the night.

It's close to the university and anybody should be able to help you to find it.

Hi Essi,

I heard about an hotel at 30 euros for the night.

My Bendery girl told me foreigners go there when they stay in Tiraspol. According to her, it's not really good.

I will have better infos tomorrow, she will come to my place.

By the way, Tiraspol girls go to Kishinev when they want money (I met one in a stripclub yesterday evening).

More news later.

PS Essi please contact me, I might check your appartment, but you don't answer to PM (mailbox full).

Well I'm finally back in Moldova and I was in Transnistria 2 days ago.

The rules seem to have been changed to cross the border : all you need is to have a valid moldavian visa and if you stay less than 24h you can register at the border (before it was 3h).

It cost something like 7 lei, it's better to have transnistrian rubles to pay.

If you want to stay longer you have to register at the local police station near you live (like in Kishinev indeed).

Of course, speaking russian would greatly help, or you can do like me, come with a girl who translates for you.

I visited Tiraspol and Bendery and I was quite disapointed by the girls. We walked maybe 3 or 4 hours in Tiraspol streets and I saw just one really beautiful girl (9) at Sherrif supermarket.

Maybe they're working or at the university, I don't know ...
I will go several times there, and I will report if I see something interesting.

My friend told me about a disco / bar were there's some pro, I will ask the name next time.

You could as well consider all girls from Russia, Moldova, Prinistrovya, Belarus and Ukraine as from the Soviet Union under the same category.

However, all of them have their own significant characteristics and different kinds of beauties, with the Belarussians, Moldovans and Prinistrovians as being the most remarkable.

If they were so alike, why would they speak all in different languages, with the differences in accents of even Moldovans and Prinistrovians speaking in Moldovan?

I've encountered Tiraspol girls in Northern Cyprus and Istanbul as well as in their homeland and I'm pretty sure what's so special about them.

Vegamars,

the still remaining weapons are the memory of russian troops. Russia agreed to move away all kinds of weapons till lately this year, but failed to keep this agreement contracted with international organisations.
Probably you remember, that it was General Lebed, who died 3 years ago in Siberia, who was the leader of russian troops during the civil war in the beginning of the 90ths.
Another special kind of story is, that some of the guns, used in the massacre in Beslan, came from Prinistrovya.

Well, the official organs in Chisinau would be worried to read, that the eastern part are issuing a kind of "visa" :-)
In fact crossing and staying in this infamous part of Moldova is nothing else than a question of bribery.

Having read several of your previous posts I am still a bit surprised about your extremely appreciating of the beautieness of east-moldovan girls. The overwhelming majority of the population there is russian/ukrainian with a minority of moldovans. Those slavic population worked there in soviet times in miltiary and political administration coming from all parts of the former USSR. So I don´t understand your laudatio, because the local girls in Prinistrovya are nothing else than the normal mixed population of Moscow or let´s say Ekaterinburg.

Have fun

The border of Prinistrovya is by far the most interesting I've ever seen, it's controlled directly by soldiers and armed weapons, so it gives the feeling of a thriller.

There are rumours going around that Prinistrovya posesses significant amounts of dangerous weapons, so even Russia is reluctant to interfere.

By the way, it's recognized by only Ukraine in the world, so the two countries have good relations to some extent.

My most adventurous trip has been by car from Kishinev through Tiraspol to Kiev with a Moldovan guy in mid winter.

Just before approaching the border after leaving Kishinev, we had to hide all our money in a special compartment in the car cause the soldiers at the border just hate to see euros or dollars and could keep you for hours.

After waiting for about half an hour, they gave me a seperate visa for Prinistrovya right there.

Passing through the Ukrainian border was also quite interesting, as the guys at the border were wondering what the hell I've been hanging around in Moldova and Prinistrovya by car!! They were totally shocked to see me heading for Kiev!

Larsca you're talking about the phone.

I think that last year Moldova stopped the possibility to call Transnistria from abroad. It was in october.

Do you have any infos about this ? I try to call a girl in Bendery, but it's not possible (she assures her phone number is the same).

Before : +373 53 258 xxx
Do you know if there's a new city code or something ?

Eros> "If you are an experienced traveller to these parts"

I travelled there once, so I'm not an experienced traveller to Transnistria. Every piece of info is good to know.

[Larsca04]

Gents,

don´t worry. It is nothing else than to show the muscles from both sides.

Meanwhile the peacekeeping troops take care on the romanian language teaching schools on th eastern part of Moldova and also the OSCE, based in Kishinew, is involved in this issue.

Times are over, when both parts of Europe have been lazy enough to look on Moldova, when such a crisis takes part.

Local people, who know the background about the so called conflict, don´t feel disturbed in any way. It is not very different to the time-to-time taking part of destroying mobil telephone networks from the Smirnow regime.
Wait some days and it will over and gone.

If you are an experienced traveller to these parts, you should have nothing to worry about right now.

However, when you talk to people in Transdnistria, you will see how they are getting very worried that another civil war could be about to break out.

Therefore, I think for most people, better to stay in Kishinev, which during the last war did not have any problems.

Keep safe

[Zapadnya]

Eros you're a bit alarming.

I was in Transnistria last year and everything was ok. That was a little adventure that I posted here. Just check the board around may / june 2003.

But for sure, you need a russian speaking guide to help you cross the border.

I read that situation is tense actualy, I will get a look in 2 weeks and will report if I was able to cross the border or not.

I think going by train would be the best way to cross, they're not going to stop all the train just to harrass you.

Tirasopol is the capital of the "self proclaimed" republic of Transnistria.

They have a population of about 650,000 people, their own government, money, police, etc.

By bus it is about 1.5 hours from Kishinev. Crossing the border is easy for Moldovan and Transnistrian citizens, but can prove a nightmare for other passport holders, especially if the border guards see you are from the "West", and they want to try to get money from you.

Many girls advertise on dating sites (kiss.com, loveme.com, etc) and live in Tirasopol.

Do not attempt to go there to meet them! It is really the wild west there, and especially at the moment, the locals say another civil war is about to break out (between Moldova and Transnistria).

Make the initial contact by internet, fly to Kishinev, rent an apartment for about US$35 a day, and invite the girl to meet you in Kishinev.

Much more interesting for the girl, safer for you, and more fun for you both!

Living costs in Kishinev for you and the girl about US$25 a day, for lunch, dinner, drinks, etc.

Not so much to do or see in Kishinev ... but hey, you are not coming for the museums or art galleries I guess!

Enjoy!
