Sour Night at River Palace
[QUOTE=Meashearim]
Do anyone know about the possibilities of following a RP-girl to her place?
My problem is that I am living in the student's dormitory, and I am also sharing my room with another foreign student. Furthermore, after 11 pm I am supposed to be in my room but fortunately the guard doesn't seem to care when I have been dropping home at four in the mornings.

I think I can help you with this but maybe not exactly what you want to hear...
Was in Kyiv last Saturday night and decided to pay RP a visit to finally check out the scene there.
Like yourself I was compromised because of my accomodation arrangements but was happy enough just to go along and see the place in action with no real intention of "playing".
Arrived sometime after 1 am and put my head first into the bar on the left as you go in (Sports Bar?), liked the feel of the place so pulled up at the counter and ordered a beer there to put me in the mood, so to speak.
There were only approx 10/12 ppl present, some couples/groups here and there and a single lady sitting on her own on one of the seats between myself and the entrance.
Anytime I turned around to have a look about she did her best to catch my eye and initiate some kind of contact.
Called a second beer and at this stage because I was staying over with some married friends as alluded to above and also because of general weariness I began to debate with myself whether I would bother going upstairs to the club.
So when she approached me shortly after and asked could she join me I agreed, reasoning that some harmless flirting/negotiating might be as good a way as any to end the night and might sow a seed for the following night or whenever.
We had a drink and chatted together for a while and eventually she popped the question about whether I wanted her to accompany me back to my hotel.
I demurred by explaining my arrangements but she countered by saying this was not a problem as I could also go back to her apartment if I desired.
So for the hell of it I asked her what was involved and after a bit of sparring we arrived at a price of 150 for a few hours or so.
When I rejoined that if I did go back I might as well see out the night she suggested 200 would cover that eventuality.
Offered her another drink but she declined suggesting that if we were going then now was the time to move.
And that was the fateful moment I decided to play seeing as she was exactly my type and also as the money arrangement seemed to more or less fit in with what I understood to be the norm around RP.
So we headed off in the taxi into the weird and wonderful land of the Apartmentia on the far side of the Dnipro.
Which left me a little anxious but we pulled up in a good area and the apartment itself was fine so I relaxed again.
Paid over the cash and she asked me to excuse her for a minute or two.
But after a few minutes a male figure emerged at the door and shouted in that I "should go now please" (sic).
Decided to stand my ground and see what played out but after another few minutes what appeared to be the same or perhaps another man came in and loudly/menacingly informed me I should leave immediately.
So at this point seeing it was 4am or so and deep in "Terra Incognita" I decided discretion might be the better part of valour and withdrew into the dark Dniprovo night.
Had a devil of a job getting home as well but that's another story...
--------------------
So, no need for anyone to post and corroborate my jack-assery as I'm well aware of that but I've had some good freebie fun out in the Kommunalkas from time to time so I wasn't overly concerned about the direction we were heading.
And after 22 years of almost flawless buccaneering would consider this to be a rather cheap lesson and the amount involved is a mere pin-prick in the overall Gergiev largesse.
Also I had got involved in a bit of a drinking session involving several shots earlier in the evening which had sapped some of my energy and lowered my defences somewhat.
But rather troublingly I can't remember her "name" or even her exact appearance and I felt so uncharacteristically poor the next day that I can't help wondering if there was something chemical added to my drink in RP at some stage or other.
And I've never previously deviated from whatever gameplan I set out with; eg in this case to just pay a visit and check-out the scene for future reference etc.
What my brain does tell me is that she was approx 30-35, very attractive and dark-haired with good English skills and as mentioned above situated on her own in the bar on the left as you go in at approx 1.30am or so if this rings any bells.
Also can't help wondering what would have happened in this instance if I had been using my own hotel/apartment?
Apologies about the rambling nature of this report as I actually wrote a shorter version that my computer swallowed up a night or two ago but in the context of [i]Meashearim's[/i] enquiry I think it's better to provide a full account for the benefit of him and others...
Anyone else have any knowledge of this kind of carry-on?
