2004 Prague General Reports

[MarkABC]

Carnal 1 - unfortunatelly and as you said, many countries increased their prices when they turned from their national currency to the Euro... ( I mean shops, restaurants... ).

Regardings the ripp-off you mentionned ( an Amsterdam quickie charged 50 NLG is now charged 50 EUR ) I had the same experience in Montenegro : all prices were given in DEM and now in EUR !!! I.E. a glas of wine was 2 DEM now it's simply 2 EUR.... (but 2 DEM = 1 EUR accordings to the official fix exchange rate decided by the European Bank !)... Double prices !

BIG DAN - Czech Republic will not switch to the EURO before 2008. They already mentionned several times that they will be not able to introduce the EUR as national currency before the 2008-2011 period. But prices are already going up since the late '90's. Some services or goods are already expensive or more expensive than in Western Europe !

But I have to admit that the prices of sex services in privat or in night clubs are still same ( in CZK ! ) as it was 10 or 12 years ago... The prices of escort agencies and independants are now similar to the one you can find in Western Europe...

I can confirm you that Kiev definitelly worth a visit ! Prices and services are still good and the girls are good looking too... You can still have real GFE that you can hardly find in Prague now ( compares to the early-mid '90's ).

I also found many pretty girls in Budapest, Riga, Tallinn, Bratislava, Warsaw... but the biggest advantage of Prague compares to other East European cities is that paid sex is everywhere and very easy to find ( -> night clubs, privats and escort agencies - only the choice of lobby girls and independants in discos/bars slowly disapeared ). Going to Zagreb or Ljubljana for the hobby is another story...

Save the Koruna's,

Like others who have posted about the impending conversion to the Euro...I dread the day. Having visited Amsterdam several times before the euro conversion and after, the only good thing that came out of it was the incentive to travel to eastern europe.

I had been an A-dam loyalist, but the changes in value were glaringly apparent when others would speak of the jewel to the east...Prague. I remember my first trip to Prague was a three day after-thought I added on from my base in Amsterdam. I was blown away, it was such an enjoyable experience, and I returned to A-dam with the feeling that I was returning to a comfortable long-time girlfriend after just meeting an incredible new woman. The following year I returned to the Czech Republic for the entirety of my trip, and I remember seeing the screen on the airplane as it charts the flight course, and seeing it pass over Amsterdam didn't even register a longing sigh...I was over it.

I hope never get that feeling about Prague, so I'll enjoy the city as long as it's a great value.

Guys,

I Think when Czech Republic will join European Union the Econamy system will get better witch means higher prices for Clubs/Privates/Escorts it may take some time until the Czechs will use the Euro, I hope I am wrong though I realy have enjoyed it in Prague for the last 4 years but I fear. Rumours are though Kiev in Ukraine could be like the next Prague! Hope I have at least 2 years to enjoy in Prague

After visiting Amsterdam about 13 times in the last three years, both before and after the Euro I can safely say that the "good old days" are over... Post 9/11 and just before the coversion to the Euro, F&S for 20 minutes used to be 50 Guilders (about $22 U.S.
Dollars).

It now is 50 Euro for the same service. Do the math!

50 Euros = $60 US Dollars


what used to be $22 is now $60

Hell, Mexico is a bargain now, go figure!

I must "czech" out Prague before they have a similar situation

I've been living in Europe for many years.
ALL prices will increase for goods and services in the new EU countries upon changeover to Euros.

Prices went up 5-20% in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands and others.

The British, Danes and Swedes are smart to keep their currency OUT of the Euro market. But not forever.
Enjoy while you can.

Czech Republic Joining EU

As of May 01, 2004, Czech Republic will join the EU. It will take 3 more years before the currency is changed to Euro.
Right now, you can see the prices have already risen slightly because of the Union.


Sour Honey:

The worst step was when Holland changed to Euro! Oh my GOD! They destroyed it for me! Who knows, this may happen to Prague!?! For now, we have 3 more years of FUN!

[Sour Honey]

->Saint
no, not too much changes (at least for the first 4 or 5 years.
Is not sure when Czech Rep. will adopt the Euro and, anyway, it will not have so much influence on the prices and the scene.

The "bad" step has already been done a couple of years ago, when Czech Rep. "abandoned" the East block.

[Saint]

I heard C.R. is joining EU on May 1st. How do you all think this will affect prices in the independent and K5 (other club) scene? Any advice is appreciated.

WW,

I will be arriving on the 15th, staying at the Charles Hotel, a nice looking 4 star about 100 meters from the Charles Bridge. I arrive late afternoon March 15, statying for 3-4 nights before I take the train to FKK land in Frankfurt. If your still in the city, would surely drink a few Pilsners with you,

I am planning a trip to Prague from the 11/12 March to 14/15 March. Anyone fancy joining me for the weekend?

[Letni]

Many people are reccommending K5. I have never been there. It is probably very good, since so many people are positive. However, at some of the smaller clubs I have had really good experiences for half the price of K5 and small or no enterence fees.

For example, at Pink Dolly I have had several very good girlfriend sex experiences. I think it was about 2400 Czech crowns for 1 1/2 hours when I used the discount coupon from Escort On-Line. The enterence fee is 100 crowns.

Laura Club is hit or miss, but my best experience has been there. It is also about half the price of K5 and has no enterence fee. The last time I was there I met a very attractive 18 year old, who was working for the first time, so I was her very first customer.

[Keg]

Lanrac,

You'll definitely want to visit K5 if you're only in Prague three days. I was in Prague in Nov., and K5 was my first choice every night, except one night when I couldn't get in. A VIP card will get you in if they're crowded, and my buddy who has one wasn't around, so I decided to go to Loto's instead that night.

Loto's can be hit & miss, I didn't think it was on par with K5, but others I've talked to really enjoyed it, so it may be worth a visit if you want to judge for yourself. The night I went there was a rather small selection of women, the only on who spoke enough english wasn't my taste, and the one I wanted didn't speak a word of english...but we still managed!

Standard entrance fee, lounge chairs and a bar, and a pole for the ladies to dance around while you have a drink. THe rooms were nice, I had a little jacuzzi before we got started. On a side note, they do have a small swimming pool so if you ask for a tour you can check it out.

Getting there: I made the mistake of taking a cab, and the driver wasn't sure where it was and spent sometime asking for specific directions when we were in the general area. That seemed a bit awkward, as everytime he asked someone where it was they'd look in the back at who wanted to go there...haha.

There is a train stop a couple of blocks walking distance, and that's the way I returned instead of taking a cab back.

I would also recommend a walk through at the RedLight zone, it sometimes has a couple of hotties, but not always. That's more of an afternoon thing to kill time before dinner.

Have fun,

Keg

Lanrac,

Yes, K5 is the best place in town.

In reference to Lotos, it was one of the best 5-10 years ago but has fallen off according to many reports. On the other hand, I was at Lotos in November of 2000 and had a true sex machine there who also had a great body. She was so good I went back the next night to see her again. She was Slovokian. So, it can be hit or miss. Maybe it's best to go to a club and if you don't like it, move on. I'd rather pay an extra taxi fare than waste a whole night at a club with no real action.

I've always had a great time at the Butterfly Club and have been there many times. Also, a new club opened up called the Darling Club in Praha 1 and it has recieved some very good reports. I'll be checking it out in April.

Yes, escorts are hit ot miss. You have to be the kind of guy who can send her back if she's not the one you ordered. It happended to me once but the girl was very pretty, smiled a lot and seemed to have a great attitude. So, I let her stay and for once my instincts were right on. She was terrific.

Would like to hear your Prague report and comparisons to A-Dam when you complete your trip. Happy hunting.
