Saint Petersburg

[Skwiskwis]

am scared shitless of mafia and police encounters. is this really a problem?

st petersburg (or piter as almost all russians call it) is hassle free for foreigners (europeans / americans) as far as the police go. as far as you wallet goes. well, that's a different story. it aint a budget city. if you are from the caucuses or africa, well, that's a different situation. expect to have your documents checked frequently. europeans and americans are left alone these days (word came down thru the food chain a few years ago to stop hassling and shaking down the tourists). as far as the mafia goes, well, where exactly do you intend to do your sightseeing? if you stick to the main areas, nevsky, neva tourist areas, major sights, your biggest problem will be the hordes of tourists (and sometimes big groups from china) , not the mafia. under no circumstances is it a good idea to wander the back streets drunk late at night or early in the morning and if your in stpb during a football match, avoid the rowdy, drunk fans before and especially after the game.

not sure when you are going but do check out peterhoff. it opens at the beginning of summer. pushkin is also nearby and worth a visit.

am also scared of losing out on the great possibilities. i have seen the girls on putana. ru, rusdosug, and some are stunning. i really want to meet one of these beauties while i for [CodeWord128] have the chance.

what do you do to find the best girls in the safest locations? can you bring streetwalkers to your hotel? are there any good escort agencies, and will she be let into the room hassle free?

i don't stay in hotels anymore. i rent apartments, so this is not an issue for me. other posters have addressed this and you can search the forum and find advice on which hotels are "girl friendly." almost all the girls you find on rusdoug, etc use fake photos and / or are agencies, though you will also find here on the forum advice about the websites. a general rule on the webistes is: the more "stunning" the pics are, the more likely they are fake. hotels are european priced (at least the ones most european and americans find). taxis are also european priced. bye and large a first time visitor is shocked to find how expensive stpb is. there are a number of escort agencies in stpb that have english websites. and they too are european priced. to find the russian prices you will need to search the web in russian. you can also search and find many posts here about clubs and saunas and salons, though the salons and their lineups appear and disappear daily.

finally, if your alone, arrange a pick up at the airport. the taxi mafia is in force at pulkovo. there is a taxi stand in the airport where you can book a taxi at a better price, but it's still a lot more expensive than what you could arrange if you can call a normal taxi and have it pick you up (rough cost for a normal taxi is 700 rubles, more or less; taxi mafia will shake you down for 3000 rubles). there are also regular buses and small vans that go back and forth from pulkovo to different metro stops (#13 or any bus or fan with 13 in it goes to pulkovo 2). the bus costs about 35 rubles. small van is 50 or such.

finally, on your trip to stpb from the airport due take note of the businesses you pass by. look to your right. and count the mercedes, jaguar, bmw dealerships. get the picture? (this will prepare you for the shops on nevski.)

Hi fella,

I'm also Visiting SPB around mid March, So I would also like to know more about this place same as you do.

I'm also going to Moscow so I would like to know about this place also, Can you share some of your experience please.

And I would request other fellas to give some suggestion for a student visiting there with some limited Budget.

Will be thankful for some nice suggestions.

Hi All!

I was hoping I could get some advice from the the St Petes vets on this board. I'll be making my first trip to St Petes in early March, and was wondering what the best bars / restaurants and clubs were for a chance of picking up "normal" girls and semi-pros? I've had decent luck doing this in Moscow, and was hoping it could be repeated in St Petes.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

Hi guys,

Ever checked the website.

www.rusprostitute.com

Just for St. Petersburg there are almost 1. 000 girls, probably Photoshop did some work but the quality looks very promissing. Anybody used that site? Prices are much lower then other sites.

Does the man who runs the MissBliss Agency ever answer his emails? He has a very strange way of operating where HE chooses the girl for you after asking you all sorts of information.

I have used twice and without any trouble but I sent sms. Girls are little bit overpriced and most of them are working also in other ways. However, in MissBliss they know which hotels are girlfriendly so that a girl can come direct to a room even at 2am as in my case.

Does the man who runs the MissBliss Agency ever answer his emails? He has a very strange way of operating where HE chooses the girl for you after asking you all sorts of information. I wrote him twice and finally said:

I have written you twice to make an appointment between January 25 and January 27. I have not heard from you. Are you going to reply? What do I need to do?

He replied:

Excuse me for long time answer.

We have that girls. And I will send nice one to your hotel.

But I wrote him again yesterday to no reply. I just sent him another specific request for time, day, and location. Will he answer? Does he work principally by telephone?

I'm trying to work out how reliable the Rusdosug site is! A simple search of English speaking independant escorts in say St P generates 33 pages of profiles. Trim that to those verified by the Administrator and it shrinks to an awful lot less! Does this mean that most profiles on the site are likely to be Bait and Switch?

Also, there are the occasional supermodel profiles in St P but they all seem to share either $339 or $399 prices. Many of them seem to be located in the same kind of area. Around Mayakovskaya Metro. Coincidence? Should I take these seriously?

There are many fakes but many times the girl in a picture has walked in my hotel room. Business is similar everywhere.

Never look USD prices but change the language to Russian. It is also reasonable to look Russian comments. Use google translator.

I see your point Mattitinen. So let me choose and say I just want a hotel with as many girls in the lobby as possible. I find that in many hotels there are girls, but often there are only a few of them, the same ones every night, not very young or good-looking and the prices are much higher than on the open market (Hotel Moscow is one example of this in Petersburg). What's the best option if I want to have a chance of a reasonably big selection at least with some variety? Or alternatively not such a big selection, but very high standards? I appreciate your feedback. For most of us, hotels are ultimately the most important aspect of such trips, and there is so little info about them.

I think that the hotel girls aren't the best option if you are looking a young and good looking girl. For a girl a hotel is not as profitable working place as brothel even if customers are paying more. For example, most girls in hotel Oktiabrskaya are maybe pretty but not young and price is high.

I recommend that go a brothel or ask a girl to come your hotel. For example, the price of this girls was 5000 rubles for 2 hour but unfortunately she is not working now: http://www.rusdosug.com/indi112859.htm

You have two opposite ideas. First you like a lot of gils in the lobby but also come in with your own girl. A problem is that if there is many girls in a lobby, security guys are also participating in the business. They don't let you destroy their business and you have to pay them if you are coming with a girl.

Sovjet style hotels like Moscow and Oktiabrskaya, for example, have girls in the lobby. Most western chain hotels don't but you can go there with a girl without any extra payment.

Thank you for the info Mattitinen. These websites have me worried sometimes with the bait-and-switch. Can you suggest another site or a good brothel?

Sorry for delayed answer. If you are speaking only English you should use Rusdosug. Com. However, some girls are with own photos, some not.

[Mattitinen]

I really need a good hotel in Petersburg. I would like one that is central, not astronomically expensive, has a good selection of girls in the lobby but ideally also lets one bring in one's own. Any ideas?

Disregard what I wrote about the differences between Mamba and DateRu. After I read Mattitinen's post I realized I have different logins and so I don't know if mail sent to one automatically goes to the other.

Last time when I was in SPb I tried. It is like other sites. Many girls are not independent but who cares.

A girl I found from the site was ok but she don't have a profile anymore even if it was only three weeks ago. Anyway, you can use if you are lucky with this site.
