Dusty Bin and Digital are both spot on the money as regards people should not be thinking they are going to get a freebie in Tallinn or elsewhere in any Central or Eastern European Country just because they are a foreigner.

I have just come back from a visit to Tallinn last month. I had not regarded this trip to Tallinn as a mongering campaign and therefore I had not done any proper or meaningfull ground work or preparation for it. The objectives were some work and some time away from all the shit that had impacted in my life in the previous 6 months. A few days to recharge my batteries in a lovely city seeing some friends and having a good time.

For a first night which had started so badly with the Irina fiasco it had ended superbly well (See my report in the Tallinn section). I had not gone out to the Amigo on the hunt, or in the expectation or inclination that I would get laid. I am sure my body language conveyed this. In fact I think this probably worked to my advantage. When the opportunity arose with BW I realised I had to work and develop an angle which she would find different, interesting, and non threatening - so I played the concerned gentleman. She took me for a David Niven rather than the Terry Thomas who I really was !!!! The days when being a foreigner, rich or not, was enough to get the girls crawling over you are long gone. The situation has changed once and for all. It is now no different in Tallinn than in our respective home countries. You will need to do some work and put in some investment to get laid for free. That is if there is such a thing as a free lay ???? I will be the first to admit I was lucky in this opportunity presenting itself, but there again I did have to judge, develop and work the situation to bring it to a successful conclusion. I am certain the fact I was a foreigner played no part in me geting a freebie. The facts are:

a. I am not a one time visitor to the city/country - this was my 5th visit in total in just over a year - work, vacation and mongering.

b. she soon became aware and could see I was not a weekend warrior trying to bullshit my way in getting as much sex as I could in the time frame

c. I do have some knowledge of the city/country its people and its history - previous research and preperation

d. she could see I was was not desperate to get laid and I was not therefore sniffing and chasing everything in Amigo who was female and had a pulse !!!

e. and most importantly I treated the woman with respect - I was not aggresive, rude or drunk - well actually I was a little of the later, but not so much that it became evident !

My realistic expection was only to get her phone number in order to meet up with her at some future date. Perhaps a few days later or on a subsequent visit. But I am not one to 'look a gift horse in the mouth' when an opportunity presents itself.

I confess, I have not been past the place in an age. There is no real need to be dealing with the ones who 'need' such support and, frankly, as a local, I can't afford it. But there is a class of girls, as I think I have written about before, who are both prey and hunter of certain types of guy. It can be fun, but one has to be willing to make the investment i nboth time and money. Most girls are pretty good at divining the truth about a man with just a couple of well chosen questions. (or a look at his shoes!)

[Digital]

Ah...the Bally shop, Dusty Bin!! I guess you must have a loyalty card there by now!

And I was hoping you'd weigh on this thread as I felt pretty sure you'd agree with my position. Reminds me of the old joke of the bloke sitting at the bar and trying to chat up the young blonde - "I'm not really this tall. I'm just sitting on my wallet"!!!

I do miss Tallinn, though.....

[Dusty Bin]

Digital is right. I live here and I have in the past suggested that one will do better if one can let it be known that one is not here just for a weekend. I still would, but, times have changed.

Tallinn is now full of guys on the hunt, spinning all sorts of stories and frankly, unless you can back up your claims, then it is not easy. Of course some, like Jake Sins, will strike lucky but, in most cases, it will take work and the chances of playing the 'great white god' game are reduced. So, if you don't mind wining and dining and waiting a day or two then you will do fine. I am happy to make that investment, I WILL be here next week. Also, don't forget, if you are going to offer up stories about old town apartments etc, then you have to live up to the game... Don't expect to make such claims and then baulk at buying the nice shoes from the Bally shop!

Perry Mason,

I think that Kookie has been spinning you yarns and you need to listen to what Della Street would say! (only those of us over a certain age will understand this!)

But seriously, while it's been a couple of years since I was in Tallinn I'd have to say that I think you've got the wrong attitude. By all means, try and get lucky with the local talent (and boy, oh boy is the local talent impressive!), but don't kid yourself that they are all hanging around breathlessly waiting for some foreigner to come and rescue them. This is wishful thinking on the part of so many foreigners who come to central Europe - they seem to think that all they have to do is flash their cash and the girls will come running.

Think about this - I was chatting to a couple of very pretty young girls in Bar 8 (I think it's called) in Tallinn a couple of years ago and they were complaining they they were fed up that they couldn't go out for the evening without finding themselves having to speak English. Frankly, they were pissed off with being surrounded by foreign guys speaking English to them (including me!).

I suspect that, like girls everywhere, Estonian girls are open to the idea of being chatted up a a decent bloke who looks half respectable and treats them nicely. But he can be Estonian, just as easily as a foreigner, and, if anything, you have an uphill battle as a foreigner as while you may have the cash, you don't speak the language, you don't know the culture and you run the risk of appearing like a prat!

So don't pretend you're something you're not - be yourself and see how it goes! Who knows, you might find the woman of your dreams...!

[Perry Mason #1]

Estonia has plenty of beautiful and available women who are more than willing to get naked with a foreigner for free.

I think it helps to let the local ladies think that you're in the process of relocating to the beautiful old town rather than just passing through. But then again who wouldn't want a "rich" boyfriend from the West. Perhaps you're in the middle of opening a new shop, taking an adjunct teaching post at Concordia university, or just a slick trust fund baby who fell in love with the city.

So before you drop the big bucks for a pro, try your hand at the local free market.

[Dusty Bin]

Sorry for the late reply, but I am sure that as the travel season is now upon us, this question is going to get asked over and over again!
Drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitran are not available OTC from pharmacies here. If you obtain a script then of course, but that requires seeing a doctor here (foreign scripts are not accepted) or knowing someone to get you a script. Getting a script from a contact in a hospital will cost as little as 6 Euro. Costs for the pills are the same as any other pharmacy in the world...

If you go to a brothel then you may be offered a pill of some kind for about 10 Euro. God knows what the stuff might be, but of course only any good if you are in a brothel environment. Better, I think, to order before you go, from a decent online pharmacy such as www.rx-mex.com who deliver worldwide, or one of the other outlets recommended by other guys in the same position as us... (BTW, I recommend 'em coz I use 'em!)

[Dusty Bin]

That is sad. Sorry to read that.
I hope that she did enjoy her time with you, even if commercially.

[Bez Bezarra]

Aw Dustbuster!

[Dusty Bin]

What were the scars caused by?

[Bez Bezarra]

Nice lady holding her breasts

Confirm, apartment is a good solution. I also have quite many apartments to offer, price range from 50 to 100 euros per night, feel free to ask. Can also give up-to-date info on the scene while giving out the keys.

Mongers abroad may look for girls, but rarely go mongering on an empty stomach.

Before I post about mongering, a few comments about staying in Tallinn. I have just returned from a 4-day business trip there.

I stayed in a rented apartment in the Old Town. Very good value (€66 a night) for a very spacious, well-furnished flat in the heart of the city (very convenient also for receiving ladies without bothering about the receptionist). Visit www.redgroup.ee for more info, prices and pictures.

Food-wise, as a Frenchman, I did not miss the opportunity to visit a few restaurants. I have particularly liked two of them (they in fact share the same cook and kitchen, apparently) : Revalia and Old Estonia on the Rekoja square (Twon Hall). Sit by the bay window, look at the Xmas crowd and the old buildings, enjoy the good food and wine, and think of your mongering plans while gazing at the Baltic beauties walking by. These restaurantrs are just next to Molly Mallone's, the expats' pub where you can enjoy a few pints while watching football on Sky TV.

Gosh ! What a country ! I have rarely seen such a concentration of model-type girls...
