General Info

Not sure if this is the norm for the states, but the atm machines I use here are the kind where you push in the card and pull it out for the machine to read (chase). If your money request is denied or the machine isn't working properly you've still got your card in your hand. What happened to me on one of my first trips, the bank machine 'ate' my card. All the atm machines I've used in Europe keep the card inside until your transaction is complete. And it didn't matter that the bank was open and the manager pulled the card out of the machine, he couldn't give it back but had to mail it back to my bank. Luckily I had another atm card with more funds.

A Schwab account is great but they won't issue a duplicate card until you call to report it lost or stolen. Then it takes a day or two for them to get you the card if your oversea's. If you put all your hobby money into a debit card and that gets 'eaten' by the machine your shit out of luck. What Schwab will do (and which I've done) is issue two seperate debit cards that can be linked. Lose one card, simply go online and transfer the funds from one card to the other. Its also nice to do two seperate withdraws and not have to worry about cash for several days. Keep both cards seperate, one in your wallet and one in your luggage.

[QUOTE=PussyLiccker;1524017]I have a trip coming up soon, any short term solutions?[/QUOTE]Sorry non-Americans. This information is only relevant to our American-based forum members since these accounts are not generally available to non-Americans. So please skip this post if you're not in the States.

Yes PL, another option is the Capital One 360 Online Checking Account:

[url]https://home.capitalone360.com/online-checking-account[/url]

(formerly ING Direct). They also have no foreign transaction fees but unlike Schwab, they will not refund any ATM fees that the foreign bank charges for withdrawing from their ATM). So Schwab is still your best bet but this account can be set up faster because they mail you your ATM card as soon as you apply online and set up your online profile. You can start linking and funding the account concurrently with the mailing of your ATM card. That is, unlike Schwab, you don't have to complete the funding of your account before they will mail you the ATM card. Their whole process takes 7-9 business days according to their representatives (because your ATM pin arrives separately 1-3 days after your ATM card). I don't have one of these accounts but I have heard this account recommended by other frequent travelers.

As Breadman notes, you may be able to expedite the Schwab process by visiting a branch but I have no experience with that.

Also, if you have a military affiliation (yourself or a family member) , another option is USAA online checking. This used to be open to everyone regardless of military affiliation about a year ago but they've restricted this feature to only folks with military affiliations now. USAA still has a foreign transaction fee of 1% but that's still better than most cards that charge 3 percent. USAA has exceptional customer service also. I use them as my backup ATM card that I leave in the hotel safe. So, if anything happens to my Schwab card, I will have to pay a 1% foreign transaction fee on all my muschi money for the remainder of that trip.

Keep in mind that you can use your Schwab ATM card like a VISA card to pay for hotel and other stuff also to avoid the usual 3% foreign transaction fee on credit card purchases. But do NOT use this to pay for your car rental as this card does not include rental coverage. For credit card rental coverage, I am using a regular credit card that offers rental car coverage to avoid paying the car rental insurance but I am still paying that stupid 3% foreign transaction fee every time I rent a car. Oh well.

[QUOTE=Anaximander; 1524163]Ultrahappy,

Thanks for the info, what about fees for seeing the girls (well the ones which will see girls) : do they typically charge double?

Thanks,

AX[/QUOTE]You should never pay extra for taking two girls to the room at the same time if you're not expecting them to do a lesbi show or kiss each other or go down on each other. That is, if you are the only one they are servicing (that is, if they're not "servicing" each other) , then normal rates apply.

So, if you take two girls to the room for half an hour, you pay each girl 50 Euros (plus extras) as you normally would.

If you take two girls to the kino and they each take turns blowing you for a total of 30 minutes, then you pay each 50 Euros (plus extras). This is actually less work for each girl, so it doesn't make sense to pay extra in this case.

Now, if you ask a girl to service you AND your girlfriend, that's a different story. My understanding is that the girl will ask for more in this case if she offers this service (usually double but you can probably talk her into accepting some smaller amount as a "tip"). I have never done this because I am more interested in interacting with each girl myself. I don't care at all about seeing them do stuff to each other. Just me. Maybe when I become more of a "dirty old man" later in life, I will pay for this sort of stuff.

Sometimes I pay girl number 1 just for sitting in the room with me with girl number 2 because I don't want another monger to steal girl number 1 while I am off doing girl number 2. But I normally only do this when I am renting girl number 1 for the whole night. I know this is stupid and a waste of money but sometimes I can't help myself.

Hey guys, I want to bring a FKK hottie to visit me in the US. She being Romanian requires a visa of sorts and in order to process one, she will require an invite from me. Anyone knows how that is done? Thanks. Howie

She will have to apply for the visa (Nonimmigrant Visa) online and also there will be an interview. Basically they will try to find out if there's the risk of her trying to come to the US to stay and not go back to Europe. That usually is determined by how strong her roots are in her home country (family, property, job, money).

It looks like she has to go to Bucharest US Embassy

Anyone knows how that is done? Thanks. Howie[/QUOTE]Yes, everything that HB and Optimist says is correct. For a tourist visa, first, you guys fill out the online DS-160 (you can help her fill it out). It used to be a paper form but now it is all online. Here is an example of one filled out:

[url]http://www.immihelp.com/visas/sample-ds-160-form-us-visa-application.pdf[/url]

In the box that asks about dates of travel, you can give approximate dates if you aren't sure the exact travel dates. Don't buy your travel tickets until AFTER the visa is approved.

She has to have photos that strictly meet the US requirements. She can either upload those with her DS-160 (recommended) or bring them with her to her embassy interview.

After filling out the DS-160, she gets a letter, inviting her to an in person interview at the embassy (15 minute interview). The only embassy in Romania where this interview can be done is the one in Bucharest I believe. They ask the sort of questions that HB described. Afterwards, she'll get another letter letting her know if her tourist visa was approved or not.

The backlog for processing tourist visa applications in the Bucharest embassy is almost non-existent. They are supposedly processed very quickly. Nonetheless, it's probably a good idea to get this process started at least 3-4 months before date of travel.

Good luck.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I will look more into it and see how it goes.

The hottie I'm planning to invite over is one of my new favorites I met recently in GT Vienna. No big rush on dates but probably sometime in late spring or early summer. We'll probably hang out in Miami Beach. The last time I was in Miami, I ended up fucking the Czech porn babe Nessa Devil. Awesome experience. I had one of my best no holes barred sessions ever with her.

Hi fellas,

I will be traveling to FRA at the end of Feb. Beg of Mar and have a Thursday, Friday and a Saturday to delve in to my FKK hobby. I was thinking of skipping Oase as the one time that I was there (and reported here) , didn't have a great experience. Plus I think winter time wouldn't be the best time to that club anyway. I have so far secured World and Sharks. I haven't been to Sharks but read good reports recently. Now the third club, I was thinking something within the proper city area and can't decide between Palace and Mainhattan. I have been to Palace long long time ago and liked it but recent reports have been not that encouraging. I think I am going to like the facilities and diversity of women more in Palace (after a couple nights of gazelle type girls I have no problem spending time with more pro-looking types at Palace) , but am adverse to sharky behavior of the girls recently reported there. Now I don't mind them upselling as much, as I will get extras most of the time anyway, but what I hate in the fact that I have to say no to a girl every 2 minutes and some who don't seem to take no as an answer. I usually try to be friendly and say "not now" or "maybe later" etc, but some girls keep coming back even though they hear the same answer 10 times! Anyway, a long story to ask a few questions. Would appreciate any response to any of the following.

1) Which one Palace or Mainhattan? If Mainhattan girls are as aggressive (outside the room) , then I rather to go to Palace but not otherwise.

2) How to do assign the clubs to days? Anyone of them is particularly better for the Thursday or Saturday say?

3) Any of them offer WiFi within the club?

4) This is a more general question. Are there any clubs that share the showers with the girls? This was a welcome surprise while I was at Globe in Zurich. One of the girls who was showering after the room with a client, was rubbing herself against me in the shower. That was just wonderful!

I will of course report back once the trip is over.

Happy mongering.

happy mongering.[/quote]1. generally, mainhattan girls are not as aggressive as palace girls in hustling guys outside of the room to get them into the room.

2. assigning a particular day to a club depends on your on preferences. saturday i would go to world for the party atmosphere and on a thursday i would choose sharks or maybe mainhattan because i am getting some nice times in those clubs but then again oase on a thursday although a dress day would have an extensive line up of girls to choose from.

3. none of the hessen major sized clubs have wifi although palace has a few internet terminals sited across the club area.

4. none of the major sized hessen fkks have shared showers between male an females. you do get the old girl that may shower in the men's area at world or in public shower areas but that is like really rare and is done our of necessity or need for speed.

i look forward to your upcoming report and i am sure many others here are as well waiting in anticipation of your timely written report.

Anyone of them is particularly better for the Thursday or Saturday say?[/QUOTE]I salute your Frankfurt FKK Club selection and offer the following advice in the hope of making your trip even more enjoyable. Hopefully other fellow members will add their opinions.

With regard to whether one should choose Mainhattan or Palace, I would offer the following points.

1. Avoid FKK Palace if (during your visit) there is a big trade fair in town as this club can become a frenzy with the service levels offered by the girls spiralling downwards.

2. FKK Palace has a somewhat greater variation of ethnic types than FKK Mainhattan where Rumanian (and some Bulgarian) hookers predominate.

3. Various hookers are likely to make approaches (hassle you) looking for business for the first hour of your visit to either FKK Mainhattan or FKK World. If you hold your cool these approaches will diminish. If you have much experience of this type of situation (or have any game) my advice is to play with these approaches, have fun, remain cool and polite and don't take things too seriously. Use these approaches as an opportunity to meet with the girls. After this first hour the girls will generally tire of making approaches and you will be left to your own devices and can then make your selection in more tranquility. Of course you can also opt to go to the room for a quickie soon after entering the club should something take your fancy! As long as the girls are pleasant I don't have a problem with them looking for business. Of course some of them can be less than polite if you decline their offer. Remain calm and a gentleman no matter what is said. In my experience you will be hassled in both clubs and probably experience more upselling in FKK Palace. As I tend to go for at least hour long sessions I experience less upselling.

4. I would probaly reserve Friday or Saturday for a FKK World visit. Some of the girls take Thursday off (before the busy weekend) and the lineup can consequently be a little weaker on this day.

5. Not sure if it matters if you visit FKK Mainhattan / Sharks / Palace on Thursday or Friday or Saturday. I visited FKK Mainhattan on a Friday or two before last Christmas and the place was well stocked with Romanian hookers. However do remember that Mainhattan is a smaller club (smaller than Palace and much smaller than Sharks and World) and can consequently seem a little claustrophobic if you are staying for more than a few hours. Of course if you are in the room a lot, this does not matter.

Hope this helps.

is there a sim card that you buy one time, and you just add funds online to use it whenever you wish? it would be really convenient to just swap out the sim card when i get to germany, and also which store carries it. is it at the duss airport?

preferably the one that has the widest coverage and fastest speeds of course.

([url]http://www.alditalk.de/[/url]) once set up (which she did for me (the instructions in german where beyond my poor grasp of the language) , you can purchase air time in 15e increments from the aldi markets (or just about any gas station, it runs on the o2 network-make sure you get those) and after it was setup, adding time was a snap even with my poor german. you get a german phone number and i had no problem getting 3g data connections in the koln area and bernds. it worked fine as a hot spot for my tablet.

prior to alditalk, i was using telestrial ([url]http://www.telestial.com/[/url]). it works fine and i've had it for several years and it is very cheap but calling is a little more complicated and my very old sim didn't understand data networks (they offered to sent me a new sim by it wouldn't arrive before leaving on a trip (the one where i moved to alditalk).) you get a british number but the is an option where germany has local connection rates. i've never tried their data plan. adding time can be done on the phone but setting up the account is done on line and they'll send you the sim, so you need a lead time of at least 2 weeks.

i have a samsung g3 mini international (this quad band phone doesn't work on any 4g network) that i use in the us and germany. (i have a straight talk at&t sim for use at home (i think there is a t-mobile sim).)

Could you not just buy a dirt cheap pay as you go phone from any outlet once you land in germany. (I use my pay as you go which automatically picks up tmobile germany network.) however if coming from outside the eu my idea sounds the easiest for you. Just an idea.
