Posts: 11Web link Are these real women?
Does anyone have any info on this site-- Publichouse.ru ? I can't read the pages but from the looks of women you don't need to read.
Are these escorts, incall/outcall?
Has anyone used this site or women?

Posts: 68Cocktail 111
I haven't been to 111 for a couple of months, but there is no way it was a truly elite club last time I went. I've been on my own (and my dress style could never be described as smart, more trendy hobo), with a group of guys and with dates and never had any problems getting in or ever had any request for a card.
111 is probably my favourite club in Kiev. Thurs-Saturday are excellent - really busy, really mixed crowd of locals (and yes, there are some of the elitny types but not many), out-of-towners, a few pros and a lot of girls just out for a laugh. The music is pretty standard Kiev fair. It's an excellent club to take a date, as the girls really seem to like it (Opium's good too).
Most girls there are approachable - some definitely on the pro side of semi-pro, some who'd be horrified about money being mentioned and, as always in Kiev, a whole load somewhere in the middle. It is definitely not just a monger place like RP.
It's a smallish club, with a big circular rotating bar in the middle. When it gets going, there's dancing everywhere. It tends to get busy around 10.30ish and stays packed until 2.30-3am or so on the weekends, although it's open until much later.
Tuesday is the busiest night of the mid-week (they used to do popcorn throwing parties or something like that), although it still has enough people in on other nights to make it worth a visit on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I think it's the safest option in Kiev on any midweek night for a good crowd. From what I recall entry is cheap/free during the week (maybe 30Hrv, if anything) and something like 50Hrv at the weekend.
On the busier nights (Tues, Thurs-Sat) it's worth getting there a bit earlier - before 10.30pm - to get a table or a seat at the bar. The bar seats are pretty good as, since it rotates, you'll have a regular chance to scope out everyone there. Otherwise, anything opposite the staircase is pretty good.
On the quieter nights, it doesn't really pick up until 11-11.30pm. Drink prices are pretty standard for a bar which attracts some businessmen, but it ain't too expensive. They do some killer cocktails and even these aren't too badly priced, if this is what your date is drinking.
I don't think I've had a bad night there, I've picked up a few freebies, met and taken dates there - bar staff are great too.
Only bad thing are the taxis outside, which expect stupid money. As MM mentioned there's a huge all night supermarket opposite. I usually cross over the road to pick up something and just hail down a car/taxi from the other side of the road.
I'm going to Kiev early next year for a couple of weeks purely for holiday, so if no-one else has taken on the club review challenge by then I'll take one for the team and visit every club I can find!

Posts: 448there's always a backdoor!
There's a solution to everything in Ukraine through the backdoor, provided that you're ready to pay the right amount..
Every little detail in Ukraine leads to a new opportunity of income and western(!!) embassies are also part of the game..
Club111 is one of those elite places that you might have a diffucult time to get in if you're alone, so it's a good idea to pop in with a local girl who has a card for that particular place out of her collection..
I can hear some of you objecting that you've had no difficulty at all for entrance!! That's also quite possible depending on your look and manners and of course don't forget about the back entrance...

Good evening Gentlemen.
No problem for my visas.
I have access to two escort agencies in Kiev.
Star from Heaven and Gia.
I saw very nice review about Gia's girls and pretty nothing on Star from Heaven.
May be you could help me for my choice on these two agencies full of girls.
If you have pictures of some beauties with phone number or e-mail they are welcome.
I am going alone and for short term and I am not sure to have free time to go to the Boat. Is it like the Night Flight in Moscow ? I know this club and this is easy and nice.
All your advice are welcome, if you know some agencies tell me.
Thank you.
PS: this is my first trip in Kiev.

For what its worth:
I'm a U.S. citizen about to go to Kiev for the first time in early Dec. ( If anyone wants to meet up just let me know).
I recieved my visa from Washington consular office after 2 weeks. I had followed tips from Brama Ukraine travel forum, and I had tried to apply for private single entry visa since I had no letter of invitation. However, I was issued a tourist visa, single entry. I was a bit concerned that I would need LOI to show on entry to Ukraine, but I have since been informed that no one will care that I do not have it. They want to see passport & visa.
My feeling is that the U.S. consular office pretty much does as it pleases-- takes money, gives visas.

I'm in the process of trying to get a tourist visa at the moment. They also state on the website that you shouldn't purchase airline tickets until your visa has been confirmed. I'll let you all know what happens.
Also, to change the subject, how about posting some info about all the clubs in Kiev (like Doc Skank has in the Moscow section). i.e, what are the best options and what are the best nights. For example, I've heard that Coctail 111 is a good option for tuesdays.

Ludovico's answer shows my problem with visas.
For a tourist visa you "can present a round trip ticket by any Ukrainian airline company as a confirmation of the tourist purpose of their visit to Ukraine." Great. What if you aren't using a Ukrainian airline company? I think you are still suppossed to get an invite letter in these cases. I'd also bet that the Ukrainian ticket thing depends on the individual customs person.
The people who sort out my visa when I go on holiday or don't want to declare business as my reason for a visit take care of all this (and are the reason I happily pay more for it). Don't ask what they do, don't care - it gets me in without problems and without the hassle.
For any business visa I always make sure I get the business invite stuff, although I'm not sure I've been asked to show it the last couple of times.
I still think for most tourist visas you need the invite.

Happy hunting

I'm not knocking other Ukrainian cities (although I'll take some convincing that Dniepro and Zaporozhe are anything special!); I've been to most of the places you mentioned for brief stays and enjoyed my time. I'm just saying that the economic advancements that are all over Kiev are not obviously to be seen throughout the rest of Ukraine.
I have to disagree about the visa policy. Ukraine has done little to make it particularly easy to get a visa - no-one gets turned down, but it is still more expensive and labourious than it could be. When they did allow people to buy a visa at a couple of airports, like Odessa, the policy was hardly publicised and whether you would be allowed to do it once you got there was based entirely on the individual officer - did they feel like it and had they actually been told of this policy.
Tourism in Ukraine has gone up despite the government's policy towards tourism not due to any active effort to encourage it and whilst it has gone up, the current levels (from what I recall) are only around 50% of what was achieved in the first couple of years after independence. I don't see any of this changing in a particular hurry, although I would love to be proved wrong.

Although Kiev has been the real actual capital of most events underlying the history of the ex-Soviet Union, it is the only independent country that would never come to terms with Russia ever again, mainly because of the special long-lasting reasons of the majority of the population that's rather difficult to understand from the western point of view..
Moreover, it's not quite true that the difference between Kiev and all other parts of Ukraine is so huge as if going to another part of the universe!!
It's not so easy to find places like Lvov, Dniepropetrovsk, Odessa, Harkov, Lugansk, Sevastapol, Yalta, Donetsk and Zaporozhe in other parts of the world...
The long-time-evolving policy change and the increase of the flow of mongers have already taken place in the last couple of years, as depicted by the drastic increase of visitors and the uprise of mongering charges, though the inflation rate is as low as 2-3% in general.
The visa policy has turned out to be the mildest among all the ex-Soviet states including the Baltic ones Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Interesting question - always good to think about current affairs from a mongering perspective! From my view, the elections show that whilst Ukraine has come a long way in a reasonably short space of time, it is still in many ways an old style soviet country and still has a suprisingly strong connection with Russia - the media coverage and support for the one candidate and Putin's open support just didn't sit particularly well.
I think it is easy to think of Ukraine and think of Kiev being typical of the country, but Kiev is like the "show house" and isn't really representative of the rest of the country at all. The economic growth hasn't obviously filtered all the way through Ukraine, and a trip to Kiev vs a trip elsewhere in Ukraine can be like going to a different universe.
Also remember who the people vote for and who gets elected are not always the same! From what I hear and read, the election was quite fair by Ukraine standards, but still had a lot of dubious stuff going on. From a selfish business perspective, I hope Yushchenko wins, but I'd be surprised if Yanukovych didn't find some way to cling to power. If he does, Kiev may not be the best place to be next week.
I'm sure in time that Ukraine will not require a visa, but I think they are still some years away from being anywhere near joining the EU and dropping the visa requirement (too many people making money off it!).
In summary - whoever gets in, there should be a few more years of fun to be had before hordes of stag weekends start coming over on cheap flights!

Posts: 124Ukrainian Presidential Election
I've just been thinking about which candidate would be better for the foreign monger interested in the Ukraine. Will it be the liberal pro European or the old guard with an eye on the Kremlin. Personally, I think they should stay with the old guard (selfish I know), but it will keep all those want to be mongers away who can't get visa's and leave the cream of the crop for the more advanced players.
I don't think, however, that the Ukrainian people will see it this way and will probably vote for the pro EU, WTO and NATO minded candidate. For a country that is growing at 9% gdp a year, all those people living in poverty probably want a slice of the pie for themselves.
