Thanks a lot for your help. I just went for a tour in the lobby and did not see any WG. Probably a bit too early (it is 10PM).

10Pm should be fine. But honestly, I haven't been there since it became the Crowne Plaza, so it's possible that they dismissed the WGs after the transition. Not all hotels choose to carry their own stables, particularly some that are Western franchises.

That said, why are you afraid to go out by yourself? Moscow is quite a safe city, and even with zero Russian skills, you can get around easily. Just have the concierge write the names/addresses of a few places for you in Russian and when negotiating a taxi, hold up 1 finger "STOW" (100), 2 fingers "DVEH-stee" (200), or 3 "TREE-stah" (300). You won't need to ever pay more in center than that.

Also, I'll likely be going out tonight (Tuesday), and might be willing to trade a Korean dinner for a guided tour. PM me if you're interested.

Iirc, that's the former Mezhdunarodnaya. They always had their own stable of WGs in the lobby, which might be a little overpriced, but it's best to see what you're purchasing in advance. I'm sure the hotel will let in your own vyezd girl, but she will need to show her passport at the front desk and have you meet her downstairs. She'll know the drill better than you, so don't worry.

As for the internet sites, sorry, but RTFF. There is a ton of info on this already.

Tip: the Korean restaurant in the hotel rocks. My favorite in Moscow.

Hello,

I will be in Moscow for 3 days next week. I will arrive on Monday afternoon and leave on Thursday evening. I am staying at the Crowne Plaza. I would like to have girls coming to my room as I prefer not to go alone in Moscow.

My questions are the following:

- Are those sites safe to use? Will the girls show up? http://www.rusdosug.com; www.intimcity.ru and http://dosug.sextalk.ru

- Will the hotel let her to my room?

Thanks a lot

All right fellas, need specific advice here.

After 17 years, I'm finally unemployed and actually have my first chance to really put in some serious time before I get another serious job offer.

My landlady normally rents her flat to me for $60 per day, normally for approximately 13 to 16 days. Its 3 blocks from the heart of a second level,
(not Moscow or St. Pitr) +1 million population city, on a quiet side street. Its a good size flat, with its own hot water, spa tub in the bathroom, full kitchen, and an extra sitting room that I don't even use, on the 5th floor. I get this price, because I rent from her every year for many years.

I asked her about renting for 2 or 3 months, and she is asking me what price?
I know all flats are booked now in Kiev, and the cheapest is $90 per day, with NO discount whether you want 2 days or 2 months. Well, maybe 10%. But this is not Kiev, so I can't figure out how much I should offer her.

Should I expect her to give me 10%, or 20%, or 25%, or more? She lives in the US, and always has to rent to others through an agent who gets his comission, but from me, I just mail her my check. I could even tell her, that I want it for 3 months, to get a bigger discount, and pay her a month at a time, and then come back after 2 months?

At $50 per day, that's $1500 a month, which just seems ridiculous, but maybe not! I don't know.

Of course you should ask for 25% discount for a couple of months, or find another apartment. As we speak, I'm making the same arrangements for an apartment in Azerbaijan. There are always empty apartments in any city, and the owners appreciate longer-term tenants rather than the hassle and expense of weekly tenants. Enjoy the break from working life.

I'll be in Moscow July 22 through 31. I do have a 2 bedroom apt in Novy Arbat near Molly Gwinns. (Usually end up picking someone there). If anybody needs accomodation for a night or two, the second bedroom is available 22 to 25 -- or if someone wants to hang out PM me if interested and I'll send my phone number in Moscow.

Hi all!

I (m, 31 yo) will be travelling through Russia in August (around the 2nd/3rd week of August). The current plan is to pass through

Rostov-on-Don, Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Ulyanovsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Ivanovo, Novgorod

with a day or two in those towns if I find I like them... ;-)

Would be great to know if anybody else is going to be there (or lives there) during that time, meet up for a beer & maybe go hunting together or share a couple of tips.

Hi there,

I will be coming to Russia for a business trip in a few weeks. This is my second visit only to this country after a trip last year to Ekaterinburg (didn't do very well there) and Moscow which turned out a bit better. I felt that my complete ignorance of Russian at the time was a real hinder, especially in Ekat. So I have decided to learn the language and although I can't strike a real conversation yet, I hope the few things I've learned will help.

Anyway I will stay 1 1/2 day in St Petersburg (just the night of the 13th, so salons look like the best option - I RTTFed & found plenty of info in here, thank you guys), 2 nights in Moscow (14th & 15th) and 2 nights in Rostov (16th & 17th).

Anyone for a glass on 14th or 15th in Moscow ? I am in the wine business (premium stuff) so drinks on me obviously and that's good stuff !

I'll try to escape in Rostov and discover what's available but my russian partner might want to take care of me (which might be OK as he seems to be into freebies - not sure about p4p though). Any tips on Rostov are welcome.

Please PM me if you are interested. Da fstriechi !
