I hope more people go there and report back.

I highly recommend going during the school time. There is a cafe right by the university that is a good hookup place.

Good luck,

I forgot to talk about getting in and out of Tiraspol.

I took the train from chisinau to Tiraspol which by the way stops first at Bendery. Cost was so ridiculously low I can't even recall.

You'll need your passport when buying the ticket.

We stopped once and you had to show your passport and that was it. When I got to Tiraspol, they saw my suite case and asked what I had in it. I told them my cloths and they let me through. Nothing about registering. Oh, one officer told me to go inside to get registration. I pretended I didn't understand and told him I will register through the hotel which I never did.

While in Tiraspol and Bendery I never was once stopped, questioned or harassed by anyone including mafia, police, immigration, undercover, military or any government officials even though I stand out because of my darker skin tone and slightly taller stature.

On the way back, I was surprised when we were stopped by Transnistrian immigration. They checked everyone's passport and documments. Of course I was out of order and I was waved to the back of the train wagon! I play it dumb at this point. The officer keeps repeating were is my immigration paper explaining that if it allows me to stay up to three days for free. Etc again I play dumb and tell him in very poor Russian, I came in train and nobody mentioned it to me and now I am leaving by train. At this point an older officer walks in and asks what's going on. After he finds out he makes a gesture with both his hands which I quickly and later verified is the gesture for jail! Now the younger officer starts telling me about him working hard to support his kids and how he have to work far away from them. Bla. Bla. Bla. So I tell him. Oh, you just want money. I see! He counters no, no money, just a gift. LOL so I pull out a 10rouble and give it to him and he hesitates for a second, takes it but then just returns it back and waves down as to say."forget it." All this time I keep reinforcing to him how great his people and country are and how nicely I been treated there which built pride and honor in him so the 10 roubles was to test that pride and I was basically bluffing and he didn't call me on it. I walked back with the biggest grin on my face that everyone on that wagon was looking at me with a smile. I almost heard applause, no kidding. LOL.

Guys don't let this scare you. Instead learn from it and be prepared. Maybe next time I'll have little American flags for my next train trip or some simple souvenir. But the main lesson is when you are faced with a situation like this the best thing is to be cool and identify with the person who has the authority over you. If I had kids like him I would have probably showed him photos of my kids and relate that way and tell him how I miss them. Just find something. And don't turn to money right away. Yes I was ready to fork more had he called my bluff but talking to these men, they really bark more than they bite.

Now, I was surprised again when at the Moldovan checkpoint, I was told to open my suitcase which of course I did. They asked the same from a German tourist.

And that was it. Easy!

Hope this helps. I am in Medellin now and will try my best to answer questions.

I stayed for 4 weeks and had lots of phone numbers and curious girls. Lots of dates and all wanted serious relations or just friendship with an English speaking man or curious about the outside world.

I was only able to bang two girls: one girl but from Bendery I met on mamba. The second girl was her half sister.

EXPECTAIONS.

If beauty is what you want. You will find it. If romance and love is your goal then you will find it. But if sex is your main objective, then the cost outweighs the realized (not expected) profits. Also, this is a small town, the longer you stay the quicker word spreads about you. And the easier it is to recognize you. I hope you can read between the lines on that last observation. Hint hint. Don't walk with a girl and flowers on her hands on main street unless she is the only one you intend to date. And tell them you are here to meet a beautiful Russian girl. *Guys, DON'T LIE. These women are poor NOT dumb. Tell them you want a Russian girlfriend and that will get you the number. All this bullshit about I am here for work or business or my company. F&¥k all that. I quickly realized these women are sweethearts and not as spoiled by pop culture yet. At least the majority. *

COMMS.

For communicating with locals you'll need a CDMA phone activated by the only *cell provider in Tiraspol. Moldcel and Orange, the Moldovan GSM carriers Get poor signals and they can't call local CDMA Tiraspol numbers! I mett only three locals who had GSM phons and all three were Orange. I think it's because it has lower per minute rates than Moldcell. *

TAXIS.

Get in taxis that display numbers on top. The other ones look the same but if look carefully they don't have numbers. The difference is the ones with numbers belong to a taxi company and charge by the Taximeter. Which is always much cheaper. The other cabs with no numbers are private and will charge a fixed amount but you must agree before you take one of them.

Food: Andy's pizza. 7 Fridays and la plachenta are the ones popular. You can find all three in 25 October street.

FOOD.

Food: Andy's pizza. 7 Fridays and la plachenta are the popular ones. *Andys and la plachenta have english translations. You can find all three on 25 October street. 7 Fridays has a nice cafe / bar on the back side. A great place to invite a local girl. But I found the best cafe / bar to be the only one across from the "Suvorof" statue (man on a horse) and next to the tank / war memorial in main square. This place is ritzy but for me it has the best atmosphere and prices are very reasonable. Best food for me was 7 Fridays and la plachenta. Andy's seemed to put too much grease / oil on most of their food. There is one famous restaurant / bar in "Balka" called "Oscar" that's where Tim lives. This place also serves good food. I highly recommend the chicken breast sautéed in mushroom sauce with French fries. *

DISCOS*

There are two main discos: Plazma and one I can't recall the name but it's in the basement of hotel Russia which is one block away from Plazma.

Both clubs are on the only main street of Tiraspol: 25 October but they are completely different.

Plazma caters to folks over 25 and has a bigger and focused area for dancing which makes it easier to spot the ladies. The ladies are more of the working class and are much more sociable and down to earth. In this club I found it easier to ask girls for a dance or even join a group of girls while they are dancing. DON'T BE SHY. Just get in and dance with them. I even had a birthday girl hit at me and ask me to go home with her that night but that was after she saw me approach and dance with other girls. Here the ladies are old enough to realize that their pool of men is shrinking so you can see at any given night 10 women to one man on that dance floor. And that helps make them more approachable.

Club Russia chatters to the younger including teens crowd and the girls are more spoiled by pop culture and their pool of men is still larger since they are not old enou to immigrate to other countries for work. However, hands down these girls are the best looking I've seen in Tiraspol. There is no central dance floor here. It is a new and modern club and people dance everywhere. EVERYWHERE. So get in early to be seen and noticed if you want to visit this club. Otherwise you'll be budding shoulders while trying to scout a good spot. One thing I noticed in this club is that there seems to be this same small group of females everyday. One of them dances very provocatively. I mean spreading her looooooong legs over the bartender shoulder and grinding against his chest. This leads me to believe that there might be working girls. I never got to inquire but I bet at least this tall brunett with the looooooong legs is because I saw her with a much older man in a different night. I also noticed in this club the girls for some reason dance individually and very provocatively and turn down the advances of so many men which discouraged me from initiating many approaches.

There are two other clubs but they are not in the center: cherry and rainbow.

Cherry is closer to the ice skating ring. I never been there but two cute girls suggested it when I stopped them to ask midday. Too bad they had a paren. But if these two girls represent the majority of the girls in this club then it must be a great club because it will have the younger but more humble crowds.

Rainbow is in a different sector calld "Balka" which is where Tim the hostel owner is. Based on Tim's advice this is where the poor girls go. I went there on a Friday but it didn't have many girls. In fact the quality of the girls was the lowest I've seen in Tiraspol. And they were differently dressed as though they were poor. Maybe that's why there was a higher men to women ratio than the other clubs. BUT DON'T AVOID IT. In fact I thing you should go and be a nice man to the girls. Buy me drinks and try your game but don't play heavy or strong game. They are more feminine and softer than our girls in the west. But if you feel chemistry you are less likely to get head games from her.

One note about discos. There is a bar / disco next to hotel Russia (not to be confused with the modern underground disco aforementioned) called Pharaon or Faraon. This place is dimly let with lots of local men and is famous for prostitutes. I went in and didn't like any of the 5 and 6 I found there. They seemed like the hard core pros I don't care for. If you decide to pick one there. Please please be very smart and cautious. They are deceptive as two of them told me they were 19 and I can tell they looked nothing like 19. I even called them on it and they changed their age up to twenty something. I told them off.

THE BEACH.

This is one of my favorite place. Here the girls are happy and very approachable. It will help if you are speaking English with another monger. I will check the girls out as they outnumber the men. I wait to see which ones response favorably. I approach and they start to ask right away: what are you doing here? Why Transnistria. Etc I simply tell them "I heard Russian women are the best" and almost all of them laugh and nod their heads in agreement.

Go whenever it is hot and sunny. *

MAMBA.

I used this site extensively and got numbers from Tiraspol and Bendery. All the Tiraspol ones flaked. I had three from Bendery and met one 21yrs (Kcenia) cutie in Bendery went out for a walk, we had great conversation / chemistry, made out while strolling and basically we ended up in my place later that night. The sex was great as she was wet and very vocal and responsive to my touches. Asked me at the end if I can help her with refilling her phone. I gave her 100 roubles which included the 50 for the taxi ride back to Bendery. She smiled and thanked me.

The other girl I met on Mamba from Bendery is Anna maria. But we never got to meet unfortunately. We arranged one meeting in Bendery but she was running late by 1. 5 hrs. So I called Kcenia instead who was surprised I came earlier than what I've agreed to. You see, my plan was to need Annamaria earlier and spend a couple of hours then party with Kcenia and her sister and male cousine later that night but since Annamaria was late it conflicted with my second plan. In a way I don't regret it cause that led me to banging Kcenia half sister who was all eyeballing me with a smile the moment I walked in the apartment and that continued to the dance floor all night long. *

There was one more but older chick 29 mother who kept perusing me and calling. But I really didn't like her that much and I felt she was to old.

Mamba basically have a lot of chicks from Tiraspol but I didn't have any luck with them. I think Bendery is better for MAMBA.

UNIVERSITY CHICKS.

By the time I got to Tiraspol the U was wrapping up and closing. I did get good responses from the few I met there and one gave her number but left to work in Moscow days later. She and many others speak fair English. This is a great resource for girls but during school year. Next to the U there is the dormitories for the interned students from the villages and smaller towns. That to me is a goldmine but again during school year.

THE END.

I wish December is not as cold as it is in Transnistria. Otherwise, I know my next trip would be so much better.

[Jojosun]

First thanks to Jojosun. I just now logged on to this site since my last messege and I have just emailed Lena / Marisha.

Okay, I can not over emphysize how beautiful these women are and most importatnly how most of them are not spoiled by western pop culture as my new found american friend "Tim" would put it. Yes, there is a fellow american living here in Tiraspol and he is a great ambassador to this town. He is the guy who runs the Tiraspol hostel which is at the moment undergoing great renovations and updates. He is currently hosting in his private apartment which he shares with his wife. It's only $20 / day.

Tim knows a great local who helped me go through the Russian "Mekler" newspaper and we saw two apartment of which I am renting the one in the center. It is $450 / month and has A / C which is much needed if you come in the summer. The other apartment was for $250 / month and had no A / C, but had a washer (a must for long stays cause you will sweat in this town in the summer). There are plenty of apartments you short timers can rent for 15-40 USD per day. But remember, this is really not your short time monger destination. The women here are well grounded. Yes they will be impressed initially by your english speaking skills and will engage you in a good conversation. But unless you show you are here for long term and looking for wife / gf. Then you will have a difficult time.

Tim will take you to see all the major spots here in town and of course where you will find the girls. He is constantly hosting travellers and an easy going fellow to meet. Just buy him a beer or even lunch. He doesn't really asks you to. But honestly for the time he puts in with his clients showing them this town, he is more than worth it. I know his wife gives him grief over spending too much time with the clients.

One thing I must say, if you get in by train forget about registration. And NO COPS / Immigration officers stop you randomly to ask for your registration. I think that is just a myth. I came, I saw and I was not once harrased or asked ANYTHING. In fact as Tim explained, the fined if you overstay your visa is 5USD.

And let me just say, girls here will be shocked if you say you are here as a tourist. I had a couple of them asks me "what the hell you doing in tiraspol, people want to leave this place" I just smile and say I want to find me a gf / wife.

If you think you are truelly ready to settle down and want to find a sweetheart then you need PATIENCE. And you should stay here for at least one month. Girls here are very approachable, they smile if you smile at them. This happens to me 95% of the time I smile at them. You need to know at least basic Russian to find your way in. I have noticed that the ones who know english are the sharpist and also the most skeptic about forieng men tourists. I know, I am dating one now and she point blank told me: "but you are just looking for vacation gf"

One think I must elaborate on which by the way has nothing to do with women or mongering. This place to me seems like it moves at a slower pace from my busy city life back in the states. People really take the time and smell the roses kind of thing. You see everyone walking at a slower pace and actually enjoying their time either at the park, beach or just strolling down 25 October. It is this sort of romantisims that I found most appealing about this place. People are natural and genuine in thier interactions both within themselves and with visitors.

On Fawie, I am not sure what happened. I sent him a couple of pm and included my Moldcell number but never heard from him. So if you are out thier pm me your cell number and we may meet. I know you know alot about Bendery. I haven't been there yet. Just did a late drive by and everyone seemed asleep.

Thank you BrasilSoccer for a great updated report. Its been such a long time that anyone has actually posted from there.

Its a great find about TIM, an American living in Tiraspol. Wonder how he got there?

Yeah a great contact in that part of the world.

Have you managed to check out the P4P scene? I think I did post some info based on Fawie's pms. He did say there was a Sauna (WGS) or something in the centre. But who needs a Sauna if the Weather as you say is Hot.

Any info on clubs, bars. Prices in general?

Hope you continue to have a great time, and don't forget to keep us tuned in.

Cheers

Yes, I meant tourist Services only as well. But I was only responding to BrasilSoccer.

Have you or anyone you know used their services before? How do you know that Marisha is living in London.

Hi Jojo,

No worries, I understood you were acting in good faith.

Only reason I wrote what I did is that someone coming new to the forum here or this thread might have had a quick read and got the wrong idea.

I haven't used her tourist services before but I had some dealings with Marisha years ago - in another context - and found her very switched on and professional.

She moved to London a number of years ago and delegated her Moldavian interests in her absence.

Not sure if she's still there or back home now...

VG

[Jojosun]

BTW, in case anyone gets the wrong idea, it should be stressed that Marisha, Lena and their various friends and relatives, offer tourist services only.

That is, nothing connected with the main business of this site!

As an aside, I believe Marisha is living in your part of the world (London) these days, Jojo!

Hi Gergiev,

Yes, I meant tourist Services only as well.

But I was only responding to BrasilSoccer request for help in finding alternative accommodation in Tiraspol. See his post below.

Mongers have been known to request info on Accommodation on this site as well.

This thread has been dormant for a long time, until BrasilSoccer made the trip to Tiraspol and reported.

Marisha & Lena's Site seems like a good site for seeking info and help in what seems like virgin territory. .

Have you or anyone you know used their services before? How do you know that Marisha is living in London.

[Gergiev]

Marisha seems like a nice girl to contact.

http://www.marisha.net/.

Tiraspol connections for Accommodation as well.

The girls Marisha in Chisinau and Lina in Tiraspol are cousins.

BTW, in case anyone gets the wrong idea, it should be stressed that Marisha, Lena and their various friends and relatives, offer tourist services only.
