Moscow

Bez, Bez, Bez - There's no need to rub our noses in it!!!!!!

Having been to FUCKISTAN I can attest not all of us are lucky enough to experience or have enough stamina for three weeks in adult disneyland!!!!!!

What surprises me is that lack of reports telling me that the crisis has driven prices down significantly.

This is an interesting study.

Sure, maybe the increase in prices has been stemmed, but can anyone point to experiences where you can see prices returning to 2002 levels?

I guess economic conditions in Moskva are not nearly as bad as some of the WSJ articles are making them out to be.

Is everything in the stores (imported goods) still selling for 70% off?

[/QUOTE]

PLEASE understand I was merely stating IMHO, which is precisely why I suffixed that IF I had been on my way EAST, perhaps I WOULD have taken out one of the wh0res, so its completely unneccessary to claim that I'm rubbing anyone's nose into anything, (except some dyevochka's honeypot).

Nextly, I apparently ran the fuck OUT of stamina, and for the first time in 20 trips, frequently couldn't finish what I started, as I've confided to a few already, the Bez is retiring from mongering for health reasons.

Oh, and so much more importantly, it does NOT require much luck at all to travel and monger in CANDYLAND. You simply need time and money, that's it. Some russian skill certainly makes it much easier, as we all know, though mine remains understandable but awful.

Next, PRICES ARE THE SAME, its the dollar that buys more rubles, but only up from 2500 to 3200, so about 20%, enough to feel the difference, but no more than that. Prices in my Italian owned up-scale grocery store, as I've already posted, or even in the big supermarket, ARE THE SAME. The market's still not cheap, and the up-scale is still expensive. I went as often as possible to the bazaar, for fresh veggies & fruits, little fresh baked onion pockets, and ham and cheese and yogurt, the daily boring staples.

In other words, forget about 2002 or anything else, because remember you can never go back.

I didn't see anything anywhere selling for 70% off. I cracked out my Mastercard and bought some Adidas running shoes on sale for $63, and some great salami slices at the deli for 300r/150g. If that gets you hot, then I don't know what to tell ya. A head of lettuce still costs 100 r at the bazaar, no bargain there.

LIFE AIN'T CHEAP, neither is mongering, rent, groceries, etc. Provinces still beat Moskva, but its no bargain, unless you consider quality/quantity of the dyevochkas, and ESPECIALLY ATTITUDE and GFE. To me that's the ONLY SIGNIFICANT difference worth mentioning, and I'll rub more than your grubby little noses in that shite all day! :D

NOTE to Pissdots!
I thought you said there were NO TOCHKAS!!!
That was the ONLY place I REALLY WANTED TO SEE, you wanker!!
Jeeeez!

Then what ELSE have I got?

Or EVER had?

Oh sure, the NEVER GIVE UP NEVER GIVE IN Doc Skank attitude-life outlook helps, sure, but, that's certainly not what got me in the position or situation to employ those carefree risk-all do or die tactics. It was a $3000/week budget and 5 paid weeks off/year that GOT me to cross to pond and rack up 200,000 frequent flyer miles. I'm sitting on 2 free RT tickets right now, but there's no more PTO, so how can I book or plan anything, when the future is as unclear as today's dismal employment possibilities.

My life is over, let's face it.

It's up to you now.

Bez,

Understood. I was just pointing out that time and money are difficult to come by and particularly to find them together at the same time in one's life. As you point out, each is useless without the other.

You are my inspiration!!!! (Skank used to be my inspiration but that was setting my goals a little too high). In my books you're the "rabbit" jumping from hole to hole. How's an old fucker like me supposed to keep going when young pups like you are spouting defeatist talk like that? ;) ;) Do you REALLY expect us to believe that crap?

Rest up, take your Geritol (like I do) and back on that (fucking) horse!!!!!

Stopped by Hot Dog's tonight and was treated to the sight of the single largest collection of butt-ugly women I have ever seen in Eastern Europe.

Just thought you might want to know...

Wasn't much better 3 weeks ago, the only dyevs I was actually looking at weren't there for work, a table of asian chicks just out for an evening.

[QUOTE=Bez Bezarra]Wasn't much better 3 weeks ago, the only dyevs I was actually looking at weren't there for work, a table of asian chicks just out for an evening.[/QUOTE]

Since I was with both of you on those evenings, I totally concur. On a good night at HD, Pizdyets' ratio (hot/doable/coyote) is 10/30/60. Recently, it's been more like 0/20/80....

911 Aurora was a strong counterpoint to that. More hot nekkid bitches than you could shake a stick at. Too bad the service sucked.

[QUOTE=Pizdyets]Too bad the service sucked.[/QUOTE]Which is, of course, a complete departure from the normally friendly, courteous and attentive service that you [b]always[/b] get at Hot Dog's. ;)

Hello,

I will be in June in Moscow for business and I am looking for providers of top models or student girls . I am ready to pay high prices.

I will appreciate your help.

[QUOTE=Bez Bezarra]Wasn't much better 3 weeks ago, the only dyevs I was actually looking at weren't there for work, a table of asian chicks just out for an evening.[/QUOTE]This is not the first comment about there being more butt ugly WG at HD, nor is it likely to be the last. So it begs the question, "Where have they gone?" It doesn't sound like NF is getting any better either. It certainly was no great shakes in February when I was there. Consider the some possibilities;

1. Maybe something is happening in Moscow socioeconomics to persuade hot young dyevs to hang up their "come fuck me heels" and give up the wg life as a source of income (FT or PT) to pursue an honest life on the moral "straight and narrow" Naw - I don't buy that.

2. There are still hot young Moscow WG but we just don't see them because they no longer consider the foreign guys to be desirable as customers. When times were good I would have bought this argument because the really really hot elitny ones were commanding big bucks from local oligrachs and were becoming unavailable to us mere mortals. One would hope that now that the economy has cooled and there is less $$$$$$$$ to throw around that these girls are willing to go down market. If this were true, you would expect that NF and HD would be jammed with talent and yet the opposite is true.

3. Or maybe now that times have gotten harder, the really hot ones are concentrating their efforts on more long term relationships and / or sponsorship deals as a means to secure a more stable income from the trade?

4. Or maybe we have gotten stale and we are all just out of touch and don't know where the really hot WG are at in Moscow. Either that or some of our mongering brothers are just holding out on the rest of us. ;)

Anyone?

Gents,

Let me start by saying that someone needs to stand up for the poor lost women of HD. But it aint gonna be me, I was there last night and man was it nasty,

Anyone?[/QUOTE]In my opinion most hot girls are working either in salons or freelancing over the internet.

The salons offer the girls regular income, regular hours and SECURITY even if they don't make as much per "pop" as girls working Hot Dog or Night Flight.

The internet is crawling with pros.

Also I think Hot Dog does have cute girls on some nights, it is just the price that still hurts. About 10,000 rubles which although isn't the end of the world, seems still high for cheap old me... )

5. We mongers are growing steadily older, more seedy, have less cash to spend, and it shows? Nahhhh, at least in my case ;-)))))

The roads are still jammed with commuters going to and from work. The streets and the stores are still jammed with people spending money. It seems to me nothing has changed from last summer. Prices have not gone down, only some of the more ridiculous excesses have been eliminated: the $3 tomato at Azbuka Vkusa is now the $2 tomato. It seems prices for sex have pretty much stayed the same and in some cases even increased. In 2007 the massage parlor at Avtozavodskaya was charging 1800 руб. for a 90 minute massage with 2 girls, now a 90 minute massage with 1 girl is 2900 руб.

The only advantage we have is the exchange rate with the Dollar, and even that is evaporating. In just the last week, it went from 32 to 31.

There is no joy in Mudville, I'm afraid.
