Kiev Observation from a new guy.
OK. So I am a new guy here but lurked for some info. Now that I have been to Kiev, I thought I would share. I was in Kiev just before T-day for 6 days. Here is what I found.
1) Shooters is where to go if you want to be surrounded by young girls looking to find a rich man. There are pros in the crowd but not so much. I found a nice freebie that was interested in learning more English and having fun. 19 years old and by most scales 7 in looks. I give her an 8 in looks because she was my type. Performance was what to expect for a 19 year old but she stayed all night.
2) Avalon has a mixed crowd of people having fun but also some obvious pros. I took one home on a Thursday. 200USD for all night. Provided a tip in the morning for a taxi. She ate / drank another 50USD in stuff from the minibar. She was the best looking of the pros and she was a true 7 by my scale. 9 for performance. She did Anal even if it is not my thing.
3) I found Arena to have lots of hardcode girls that wanted 400USD for an hour. Some touched the 8 and 9 in looks. They did not like to talk price so I found it difficult and left. Never went back.
4) Buddha bar had another set of the hardcore. Most attractive and some real ugly ones. I took a nice blonde home. We agreed to 1 hour for 150USD. She sucked another 150USD out of me and stayed all night.
5) D'lux had by far the best looking girls and some of them semi-pro just looking for fun. I spent a ton of money on drinks and food and took a 9/9 back home with me. She stayed all night and was easily the best thing going. The final cost was about 300USD in drinks and food plus a pair of Uggs as a gift. She then came along for next night and again it was just for the price of dinner and fun, about 300USD again. (BTW. There is a great Fish Place just off Sophia Square as you walk towards the Opera House)
6) Rio was a total bust. I spent a good amount of money (over 200USD) and talked about "take-out" with zero success on a Monday. Premier Palace has true high end girls that will leave starting at like 500USD. I spent 100USD and a few drinks with girls and left in a hurry as that place was too rich for my blood.
Finally, as to the description of Police activity below, I passed them on the street at all hours of the day and night and never was once stopped. As for face control at clubs, I never was denied entry and I always wore jeans, a nice shirt and black dress shoes. I stayed at the Radisson and was never stopped at the door with a girl and it was always past midnight.
Best of luck. I found Kiev to be a great place to go if you are interested in all night type encounters with multiple pops because that is where the value is.
Insomniaque, December trip
Insomniaque,
Thanks for your detailed and, most of all, very honest report. I really enjoyed reading about all your experiences. Allow me to make a few comments.
1) Taxi fare. Negotiating the price down to 170 UAH with the Boryspil inbreed taxi drivers is very good.
2) Hotel security. That is a fucking joke with the bribes. Why don't you consider an apartment next time?
3) Bait and switch. I agree with you, it's very normal, especially if you haven't corresponded with the girls in advance. Most times the switch is a downgrade, but sometimes you are lucky to get an upgrade (like your second threesome).
4) When you get a bait and switch, the standard price is usually the same as agreed with the bait (agency) you spoke with. However, the services are not. Therefore, you should always confirm the services and total price with the switch BEFORE giving her the money.
5) Viagra. The name of the Ukrainian Viagra is '&1055; &1086; &1090; &1077; &1085; &1094; I&1072; &1083; &1077; ' (pronounced 'Potentsiale') .50 or 100 ('Sto') milligrams. The girls in the apteka probably agreed to sell the horny, non-Russian speaking foreigner the most expensive pills.
6) It sounds like your second threesome really played the watch. 50 minutes is way too long for cigarettes and drinks before the action, but I don't blame you. The same has happened for me too.
7) 450 UAH for anal. This should have been the first sign that something was wrong. Besides that, I'm happy you survived your 'incall' visit. Kiev suburbs are not the place to be for foreigners with a tanned skin.
