Riga

When I was in Riga I stayed on a hotel called Forum it was very good they will never ask you about the girl you bring. My friend took an apartment from Patricia appartments these people are thieves. What they do is that they take a deposition about one night pay, and they send after you girls (usually between 17-20 yo) these girls are trained so that you would swear to God that it was you who spotted them first and you brought them to your apartments by your own self, but the opposite is true, they are trained to seduce you, and once they are in your apartment they will drug you by the drink and steal your things and if you are fool enough no drugs are needed. These girls are also used by Patricia to clean the apartments sometimes. What happened that night is that two girls were sent after my friend late night he was fooled and let them in thinking he would fuck them both, they drugged him took his digital camera, mobile his money and off course the apartment keys but not his pass or his Vissa card. You will never find the keys later by your own and that what you will say to the police, the manager will appear after the police had gone telling you that he found the keys near to the gates in a spot you have searched many time after the theft, and he insists that he must change them fearing someone has copied them. Off course he will demand the money you left as a deposition to cover the cost of the key (which he will never change in reality after you have left Riga, that is why he said he found them thrown) by the way he will said that another guest rang him when he/she saw the police coming in to your apartment. When the police came they took samples of the drink because they were expecting already drugs involved with the theft, the interpreter was a nice Latvian girl in her late twenties (good English knowledge). She told me that this scenario is repeated several times the last few months, the young girls are only after mobiles money and cameras, and the police started to suspect the company. Why not the pass or the Vissa cards? I asked, she told me that either the thieves were after easy money or the company wants you out of Latvia as soon as possible by using your pass and Vissa card, and hence you will be happy with a police report to your insurance company only. What made me suspecting the manager that he was talking security with my friend to justify not giving him back the deposition to cover the keys cost…What security I asked him I saw that the gate were always open or the other guests were blocking the gates and the doors by newspapers and rocks, beside all the codes for the doors of the other apartments are well known to the pimps who used to bring girls up to the residents every day no one will change coades everyday. It is bullshit I told him; his apartments were neither secured nor clean. I would use a hotel; at least there are receptionists all the time. I believe they do that only with the gests that are not staying to long, because most of their guests are staying months as they are working to foreign companies. I do not know how the case is with the other apartment companies.

Cheers

Great report Anthony,

Appologies if I was mistaken on the situation in Roxies, only went there once very pissed. Did seem like they were all hookers, but obviously not. Anyway, made me laugh to hear you offering regular girls money. Sounds like you had a great time.

Just got back from my first trip to Amsterdam, don't think I'll bother with a report, been covered enough already. Suffice to say I could have had a far better time in Riga for a lot less cash. Guess I had to get that one out of the way anyway.

Well, only 4 days and I'm off mongering again to Vegas, probably won't be too good, but Tijuana, Mexico is only 400 miles away. Looking forward to practicing my hobby there.

Black Dragon,

Seems you're already on your travels, can't comment on Vilnius, but if you get to read this whilst you're away, I'd advice you to spend more time in Riga than Warsaw. Spent 8 days there a while ago, nice women, easy to pull, but I have to admit that this was a bit too long. Whilst Riga maybe smaller, I found the nightlife to be a lot better than Warsaw.

Hagman,

Unfortunate for your friend, always got to be careful with working girls, and apparantly druggings are not too uncommon in Riga. Totally agree with you on Forums, highly recommended.

Keep up the sick work lads, somebody's got to do it.

Nice post, Konan Grit. I'm a veteran of the Amsterdam scene and try to get back there every so often. Price is 50E/15 min. in the main Amsterdam RLD (Walletjes) near the Old Church. Top-shelf babes include Nina and Sandra, both from Germany. I can relate this firsthand. Nina's sharp as a pistol and a superb conversationalist. Great overall experience. No kissing (RLD norm). She's a religious clockwatcher, as one friend aptly put it. Sandra is a scorcher in the sack. Athletic with a ballerina-like bod. Often loses track of the time. Great girl with superb technique. Only downside is that she can be emotionally fragile and tends to have lots of boyfriend problems.

Nina, Sandra, and their windowgirl sisters are extensively reviewed at ignatzmice dot com. Highly recommend that URL for anyone with a keen interest in the Holland and FKK (Germany) scenes. More of the veteran punters are giving up on the Amsterdam windowgirls and sampling the smaller towns like Alkmaar (40 km north of 'Dam) that offer Eastern European lovelies at 35E/15 min. in their kamers. The escort scene isn't that robust in the Netherlands. Not easy to find good reviews and the looks can sometimes disappoint. Prices are probably in the 250E/hr. range for upper-tier escorts at Women of the World, based on what reliable reviewers have told me via backchannel and what www.captain69.co.uk (pay site; $10US per month. I've gotten a one-month subscription before. Even has reviews of some of the Riga gals in their international section).

What has me very interested in Riga is the value for the money. Two hours with a Amsterdam windowgirl will run 400E. Standard cartel pricing. Compare that to 400E for a full day with a gal from Baltic Beauties. Or 600E for a full 24 hours with a Miss Malinka lady. And from what I'm gleaning, the mileage is routinely superb with these Riga ladies. My favorite city for hobbying is Montreal, by the way, but steadily rising prices and a weak U.S. dollar have made it a much more expensive proposition than the 6-9 months after 9/11/01. One element of hobbying that's taken for granted is personal security and ease of getting around. Ease of speaking English with the masses also. The Netherlands is very user-friendly in that regard. Perhaps 95% English fluency there. Very easy to navigate Schipol airport, get checked into your hotel, ride the trains/trams, convert USD into Euros at the ATMs, do some touristy things, and find the RLDs. I could say the say thing about Montreal, with the kicker that elite escorts are almost always bilingual (or multilingual) while some of the middle/lower tier gals speak extremely little English. Very easy to navigate downtown Montreal and there is excellent transportation. And a ton of strip bars and outcall escorts.

My style of hobbying is to err on the side of being risk-averse. Thus I'm more inclined to try Baltic Beauties or Miss Malinka ahead of their competitors. I'm looking for top-notch beauty, performance, enthusiasm, skill, and dedication. Would like to discuss these 2 agencies via PM if anyone would be so kind to correspond. I'm more than willing to exchange detailed info on the Canada and Holland scenes.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Jim

Hagman,

last summer I used Patricia agency to rent an apartment and they were really nice, found me a place in the center just out of old town and everything was alright. Maybe something changed in some months or your friend was imprudent. But really I don't think they could risk their name for few money. Almost 90% of their customer are foreign (ex-pats or tourists): if they do something wrong the rumours should be known in few days.

Anyway...

Let's go back to the main issue: Girls

Could someone suggest me where to go out with normal girls ? I mean I have some dates in the next days :-) and I don't want to go to the same places where ... we usually go searching for p4p girls. And also please give me 3 or 4 different places. I cannot go to the same place 3 consecutive nights with 3 different girls ... or should I ???? :-)

Riga is one of the best places for either p4p or normal girls, so enjoy yourself !!

FC,

If you talk about going to a really nice restaurant I would suggest VINCENT, which I consider to be the best restaurant in Riga. French cousine. Impressive. Hard for me to give you an idea on the price-level, but it is half of what you normally pay in the Scandinavian restaurants serving similar cousine (this goes for all top-level restaurants in the Baltic countries).

It is close by the "world trade centre", and about 5 minutes taxi ride from Hotel Latvija Reval.

Best of luck with the ladies.

[b]Marconista & Field Commander[/b]

I am not sure if you are asking where to meet normal girls or where to take them,?However, if you are looking where to take them out I would suggest asking the girls themselves as they know the city (in theory) better than you, a tourist. You will be surprised that unlike in many other countries some of the girls have simple tastes, so you might be thinking of some upmarket French or Italian and she would rather TGIF.

One girl I hooked up with last year took me to her friend’s place where they cooked for me, but only do this if you are the adventurous type because I felt on show meeting half the neighbourhood, who dropped in to say hello.

Riga Trip report: May 2004

I stayed at the Reval Hotel Latvija, which is the tallest hotel in Riga (and confused in an earlier report with its sister hotel the Reval Hotel Riga, which is across the park). Hotel Latvija has the superb club Voodoo in the basement and the Skyline Bar on the 26th floor with commanding views over Riga. The hotel is girl-friendly, the front desk will call your room should you have "ordered in". Every floor has a security door, so you will have to leave your room, walk down the hall to the lifts, and let your girl in.

Club Voodoo, in the basement, is one of the best discos in Riga. There is a mixed clientele here and not all the girls are working. Or better put, many of the girls working as go-go dancers are not always available for commercial sex. I met a girl here who turned out to be a police officer. It's a good thing she told me that before I made any indecent proposals. With some charm you can pull a freebie out of here. With some charm plus cash, you shouldbe able to pull a semi-pro or hobby-hooker.

Just next door to the hotel is a "gentlemen's club" called The Jockey Club. I visited it one night. It is a rather small club, with a stip tease show and girls that try to sell you lap dances, but it seemed overpriced and although we bought a champagne for one of the dancers and talked to her to get the scoop, the place isn't a brothel and I can't recommend it. As we were leaving the bouncer asked if we wanted some girls for sex. We said why not and in about 15 minutes a car pulled up with three Russian girls, all overly made up and looking the worse for wear so we declined at 35 LVL per hour. (1 LVL=1GBP=1.5 EUR)

Another awesome complex is located a short cabride or 15 minute walk from the hotel on 96 Brivibas iela. www.larocca.lv

La Rocca is a great disco. Absolutely huge and filled with beautiful young people. Mostly a twenty-something crowd. At the same location there is also a nightclub, casino, and sauna/pool area. The nightclub has a floorshow and every 20 minutes or so a striptease. There are dozens of beautiful women here, many of them available for a 'massage' downstairs in the saina area, but it was too expensive for my liking and unclear exactly what services were on offer. If I recall correctly 100 LVLs for use of the sauna for 2 hours and 50 LVLs to the girl for a massage and for a 'tip' I could negotiate 'extras' from the girl. Anyway, beautiful girls but too much money for Riga. We bought drinks for some girls (at not too outrageous prices) and enjoyed there company for a couple of hours as we watched the occasional show. I tried to make plans to have one come back to my hotel but she smiled and told me that she couldn't. I should point out that this was a classy establishment and that there were plenty of couples there. Continued soon..

Gatsby67,

I confirm everything you said, but I want add something:

- Voodoo was much better last year. Now after the renovation is really good for a night out, but not for the hobby.

The go-go dancers are maybe the best in Riga. Very good dancers and they are really able to create the atmosphere for a good disco. It's a pity the night club area is changed. Not only the colors, but the way it works. No more go-go girls there. And even if they were not available they were really beautiful and nice to spend some time with.

- The Jockey Club is on the contrary one of the worst club I've ever visited. Small, normal girls, even boring.

- The best girls I've seen in Riga ... were normal girls during the day in Old Riga !!!! In my opinion Riga is one of the best place to find normal girlfriends, but not the best place for mongering. Am I right ?

Do you know how are other places in Latvia, out of Riga ?

Bye.

Just got back from Riga. My first time, but I researched well. This was a good job because the girls are putting their prices up. I guess too many tourists are agreeing to the first price they are quoted. 100 Lv for an hour was one I was asked for! I couldn't help laughing out loud, and she said "OK for the night then" (big change there eh?).

Personally I didn't like La Rocca. Nothing wrong with it, but I guess I'm too old (37) or wasn't in the mood. Got two propositions, but both worked there and wanted me to go for a lapdance only.

Jockey Club. Agreed with what else has been said here. My feet stuck to the carpet, which smelled of spilt beer and damp. There was a nice looking girl there though.

Roxys. A Russian club. Plenty of drugs. A fair bit of action, but 3 gypsy girls were there obviously trying to pull a scam. One tried to pickpocked me. Some decent lookers though. Prices (like everywhere in Riga) drop the closer dawn approaches.

Some girls working in Velvets. Some drop in the Martini Bar. Skyline bar in Hotel Reval too. Some in Voodoo, but mostly Russian girls looking for a foreign boyfriend, or out to see the floorshows and maybe get some drinks bought for her.

I got scammed in the Half Moon (?) club. I was drunk and was presented with a bar bill of 160LV, which I unfortunately paid. I had consumed only about 20Lv (at the very very most) of booze, but, like everywhere in the world, the motto is "Don't go to these places alone when shitfaced".

I was warned by one local of a club on Alexandr Caka Iela that was renowned for slipping sleeping tablets in a customers drink, then robbing him. The police are alledgedly very corrupt, so may have been paid off by the club owners. 200Lv to keep your driving licence after being caught drink driving is the going rate. A throwback to the Soviet days I imagine (plus the low pay and high cost of living. Clothes, I noticed, were London prices, if not more).

The Dickens pub is also on the working girls circuit. They just move around with their minder, looking for trade.

I've put a post about AIDS in the general board. It is on the increase apparantly. One WG I met said she hated them. While fucking her she kept trying to pull the condom off as she wanted to feel me coming inside her. We did kinda hit it off, and she wanted us to start dating, but that's not the point - how many others were there and will there be? She had also worked in various brothels across europe, so must have known the risks. I assume she either didn't care or was already infected.

I did notice a level of racism towards the few blacks and asians I saw. Locals made audible comments, and Latvians and Russians I spoke to said they weren't welcome (Surprising for the laid-back Latvians I thought). The Russian youths may get violent, so watch your backs fellas.

Oh, and don't go during the Ligo festival unless you only like Russians! The city empties of Latvians.

Anglian,

Thank for your interesting post but I am surprised about what you saw considering my experience in the place over the last two years. I mean I’ve met and still keep in touch with several females who are both [i] Latvian Latvian [/i]and [i]Russian Latvian.[/i]

I am not going to say that you might not have seen what you saw but I doubt that since Latvia has joined the now enlarged EU back in May that they have suddenly developed xenophobic tendencies. Agreed there might be some racism against some foreigners but on the whole it’s nothing more than what you would find elsewhere in Europe, however this should not put off anyone ethnic or whatever from planning a trip there – for every idiot there - who may not like you- there are ten, if not more decent people who will welcome you with open arms.

Visitors to Latvia should know that ethnic people have been coming to the country since the 1600s and that Tobago (yes that tiny island in the Caribbean) was once a colony of that region. I would suggest that when in town you make a point of visiting the Blackhead Museum – because on my first visit I was very surprised that small region of Europe had a long tradition of black people living there and most of the residents are still proud of this fact.

On a different note, I keep in touch with quite a few girls whom I’ve met in Riga and one in particular is planning to come a visit me in the UK and stay with me for a week, if it wasn’t for the fact that I am currently sunning myself in the Caribbean, she would be there right now now.

Juniour

[i]On the no condom thing – I had this happen to me in Japan when I went to a pink saloon, this girl said she wanted to try me and instead of blowing began ridding me condom free and was going at it wild until I managed to pull out. I didn’t know what she was on, but it not a good idea to go bare back riding with someone you don’t really know.[/i]

I'm finishing up my second night in Riga while my Russian visa is being processed. This place has some of the most beatiful women I've ever seen. I knew that previous reports had said that, but seeing it firsthand is quite different.

My trip thus far has been kind of a disappointment. I don't usually do pay-for-play and like to pull em the old fashioned way. The first night I went to several places, including the very cool Orange Bar (I recommend the Barzam with Black Courrant). It's kind of a sexed-up dive bar. No action there, except flirting with the bartenders (and buying them each a shot). Decided to head to the Voodoo, which was pretty fun. I met a Russian girl named Helen who was a 9 or 10. Absolutely stunning. I got the courage to ask her out and blam we were out the door. She dragged me into a cab (negotiated with the driver for 2 LVL, which is less than 4 $US) and went to a club I later learned was La Rocca. This place was really cool. Helen liked to jump up on the pole and dance like crazy -- obviously not the first time she'd been up there. Anyway, her english was adequate to talk, we made out for a while and at 6am we were out the door. No luck in getting her to my place, or any other place, and she was really drunk. Past the good kind of drunk. Some Russian.

Tonight I went to a couple of bars, including the PuPu Lounge. Again, a lot of hot women there, but no action. As soon as I asked if they could speak english, so many of them turned their noses like I had shit on the floor. So those who come thinking English is widely spoken will be a little surprised. Not up for more tonight because my jet lag is still nagging me.

By the way, back in Las Vegas, I'm considered good looking and haven't really had to work too hard to pull. It's a little humbling to get the cold shoulder. Perhaps if I weren't solo or so old (32!).

Still, this is a fun place and I'm glad I made the trip. There are a lot of tourists here, though. Maybe my luck will change in the next couple of days.

Hi Junior,

It's possible I heard some unrepresentative locals sounding off. I have some Latvian friends and I asked what their attitudes to lots of things were. I think the EU is stirring things up a bit - Latvia has been told to offer unconditional citizenship to all Russians (which has wound the Lats up, and after visiting the Occupation Museum I can see why!), and the gipsies too.

re The Blackheads, I have just emailed my friends there to ask about their recent change in attitude to ethnic minorities!

The Blackheads were white: there have never been black people living there. The Blackheads were an order of foreign traders. I assume that they were part of the Hanseatic League or similar. Their PATRON SAINT was black (a Roman tribune, St.Mauricius). The order survived until 1940, when the remaining members were repatriated to Germany.

The Latvians were very sure of this - there has never been a history of black people living there: it is a very recent phenomena for them. Perhaps this is why there may be some mixed attitudes? As for a long tradition, it simply isn't true.

As for the bareback thing, I agree. It's too dodgy.

I did a google search on AIDS and Latvia. Evidently 5,000 people were HIV Positive in 2001, according to UN figures. A bit worrying considering the small population. A Russian news-site I looked at siad that herion is cheaper than vodka in many areas of the former Soviet Union. I forgot to mention that one working girl I met working the bars in the Old Town had needle marks on her hand. She said they were from her cat scratching her, but I've seen junkies scars before and know the difference. Nice try though!

Picture of Melngalvju, or Blackheads House attached.

Delayed report 1 (Massage places):

Was in Riga in May. I did the whole range of services, from massage places, to pick ups with semis/amateurs, to delivery. I'll start with massage places and do reports later on the other scenes.

In a post last year, I had recommended Okinava. I visited there once this trip and was horribly disappointed. Last year I paid 20 lat plus 10 for a great FS. This time it was 25 for the girl and room alone. When I asked for FS, the girl wanted 25 and wouldn't negotiate (I know I'm a year older, but...). Oral was 20 but covered only. I let her finish me manually. And I'm not sure that I should say girl. The one I chose was early 30s. My other choices were a couple of women older than me (early 40s) plus one young and very ugly girl. To say I remove my recommendation of Okinava would be to understate by half.

I had a near miss at a place called Paradise Massage on Jana iela (Old Town). There was a pretty nice looking 21yo there (I think her name was Diana or something like that). She did something very close to tantric massage to some very erotic music. When I finally finished I went wild. Thank goodness that I had been there a couple of days before or I may have spray painted the ceiling! The only problems were that she wouldn't remove her bra/panties (though she did let me roam with my hands) and that she steadfastly refused to do anything beyond a handrub.

However, I hit the jackpot at a place called Getera (http://www.getera.lv). I fully recommend this place. I went there twice. The first time was on a Sunday afternoon when I saw Lana (I mention the day because she told me she only works weekends - she's a personal trainer during the week!!). She gave me the perfect treatment. A great bodyrub/titrub. Then we negotiated. She seemed to really want sex, but I had been pretty active, so I opted for a 15 lat BBJ. She gave the best oral that I have ever had. And to top it off, she didn't pull off as I expected. My first shot went into her mouth. Then she pulled off as I continued and took the rest on her face without even flinching. I think I asked her to marry me right after that!! The second trip was a couple of weeks later. I missed Lana but got lucky when I got Nikol, a 21yo Latvian girl. She gave a pretty good bodyrub, then for a mere 20 lat, she gave me great FS incl. a short BBJ. At the end, she got on top of me and had the most amazing muscle control. I went off like a cannon. The only downside was that she wouldn't DFK. So get ye to Getera. Oh yeah, it's the usual house fee (25 lats) and the mamachka takes good care of you if you have to wait. Lots of tea and making you feel at ease.

I will be heading to Riga at the end of the summer. How would a non-European fare in this city. I am of Asian decent, and want to know if I will completely stand out or can i get some action.

On a side note, I will be staying with friends so I will need to escape in order to, ahem, partake of the culture. Is there a specific district I could head to on my own and be safe. I speak no Latvian.
