Bucharest

I will be in Bucharest for a few days in mid June, and have booked a room on the Internet (centrally located, well-furnished). I read elsewhere that it was better to be in an apartment than in a hotel room to "invite" a lady of the night.

I don't know what the quality of the room will be, but it looked OK on the Internet.

As for the ladies, I have visited a few sites offering escort services, and prices vary from €50 to over €300 per hour. As I am not the kind of guy to rely on my sweet talking, I'll make a few phone calls. Has anyone any more useful tip, ie website or number to suggest ?

A few comments.

It's been alittle while since I was in RO but some of this is sure to still hold true.

1st check out www.inyourpocket.com b4 you go to Ro. They when you get there buy a copy, available at many bars and restaurants and hotels. This 1 euro handbook is great. It has honest opinions about bars and restaurants. They tell you which take credit cards and which don't. It is updated every month. The physical version that you can get in RO is much more extensive than the website. I never knew about it until i went to an Irish Bar in Buch and the cute barmaid took a copy off the shelf and started highlighting all the good disco's and bars. I called it my "golden book" I went to great restuarants that chrged 25 USD for what would cost 150+ in the states. That is an easy way to impress a lady, Good food and good wine ;)

2nd, for Hans37

"planters, office, salsa and similar places"

These, in my opinion, never seemed like places for pros or semi-pros. They are places where RO women want to meet a nice foreigner or rich RO guy. It is not "too" difficult to get laid there, if you live in Bucharest. It is much easier if they have seen you there b4. Not they talked to you but that they have seen you in RO for over a week or 2. These girls are looking for nice husbands or potential husbands. They might fuck you the first night if they think that you live in RO. These girls are not always stupid, they are looking for a nice guy to treat them right and will do the same. Alot of the girls I met at Planters and the Office are educated, many working for international companies as secretaries. They have seen the good life and want more, especially since they earn 5-8000 USD a year and their bosses are earning 100,000+ a year.
Just my limited experience

3rd, for Ialian4w.

The hotel that I stayed at was Muntenia, on STR. Academiei 19-21. I am not sure what it is like now, they were doing renovations their when I left. In general, it was a shithole, just old and broken down. the price when I was there was about 25usd a night but now probably 35usd. I consider it one step above a youth hostel, but below most other hotels.

The first time I went there, we were a bunch of guys who didn't care and the hostel was filled and Muntenia has a great location in the center of downtown. We didn't care abt rooms because we were drinking most of the time.

They didn't have any prob with taking girls to the room, and they even offered the desk girl to my friend at 8am, after a night of drinking just because he told her that she was really pretty (and she was.)

I found a new website recently that shows pics of people at many of the bars in Buch from Friday and Saturday nights. www.inout.ro. It might help you get a feel for girls.

For semi-pros and pros:

There will be alot of pimps and girls outside within a few blocks of major hotels. I remember walking by a nice hotel 2 blocks from Muntenia, and young pimps harassing me, do i want a young girl???, i said nu (no) and kept walking, then they asked if I want a boy, i turned around and said NU/NO, the guy was very agressive and then he tried to spit on me. I stopped, turned around and put my fists in the air (fighting mode) (I am not a violent person but had to pretend to be) and the guy quickly retreated.

If you meet a girl at a bar it is usually less than 150 a night. If she is a student and likes you it could be less than 50. Or free. It all depends on you, her and the situation.
Unfortunately in RO things are not as clear as in the Czech Republic.

Hope this helps and please help me correct my spelling ;)

I forgot to post the accomodation website : www.eastcomfort.com

I booked a furnished studio close to Hotel Continental for €30 a day (€120 for four days). Looks OK on the website, but has anyone booked through this agency before, with good or bad experience?

Also, a few addresses to find ladies in Bucarest :

http://friends.xclub.ro
www.anuntultau.ro
http://noi2.neogen.ro

Most ads are in Romanian, so it takes some time to understand and get in touch with a girl who speaks English (or French, Italian, German).

But it pays off, from what I can see.

It's kind of strange to see so many great posts and so many bad posts on the scene there. I guess people either love it or hate it? Romania is on my list of countries to hit. I hope guys keep posting up to date posts on the scene there. Can someone that knows the scene there well post a good 3 or 4 day itinerary for me?

Is Bucharest really one of the grimmest cities in Europe as Roger Mellie posted?? Is there anything of interest culturally or historically to see in the town? Tell me it ain't so.. :(

I met a Romanian non-pro in Paris that I see when I'm in town and she is one of the sweestest, most intelligent, great in bed girls I've met on all my journeys. I had high hopes for Romania after meeting her but those hopes are lower after reading Roger's post. Are they accurate?

Saint:

I whole-heartedly agree with Roger Mellie that Bucharest is the greyest, most grim city that I have ever seen. Even many Romanians agree that Bucharest is an ugly city. Not just the sites are ugly, but many Romanians consider the people of Bucharest to be "ugly" as well. Not physically, but personality wise, people in Bucharest tend to have a more elitist, western, stuck up attitude towards Romanians who live outside Bucharest compared to those who live in Bucharest. I guess it's like comparing someone who lives in the Upper west side of NYC, to someone living in project housing in Queens. And yet I would rather live in project housing in Queens than most parts of Bucharest....

The best places to see in Romania as far as culture and beauty is concerned is in the Transylvania region. The mountains in Brasov are great in the summer for hiking and site seeing, and they are nice in the winter too for skiing. The northern "Moldovian" region of Romania is like a wasteland as well I think. I've never been to the western parts of Romania like Timisora, or the eastern parts like Constanta, so I can't speak to those, but I really think if you are going to go to Romania for culture and to experience good food, and nice sites, you should goto Brasov.

The women there are also knockouts in Brasov.

Guys:

Bucharest is what you make of it. I had an ongoing pm discussion with Mr. Mellie about this. It's not the kind of place where you can hope to fulfill everything in a day or two. You need to spend much longer (maybe three weeks? ) to get a feel for how stuff works, meet some people, etc.

If you're in Bucharest and run into some bad luck then it's going to look like this suckiest place in all Europe. But then again you can meet some great young girl who will make the city seem like a paraside. Just do your homework: Read the old posts for sure.

My personal experience: First time there was rotten. Second time was better. Then third was awesome, etc. If you don't have the resources, then you might think about some place else in Europe.

About the price vs. quality: It's very hit and miss. For the 500k lei price, you might get a bad one, or a very good one. Just remember: If you don't like the offer, send her home. No one is forcing you to pay just becuase she showed up.

If anyone has found some good prices on lodging (apartments) in Bucharest, please pm me! Haven't cracked that one yet.

Cheers all!

For those of you who may not be familiar with this concept, a "hard return" is created when you press the "enter" key while typing, thus artificially shortening the length of the text by forcing it to begin on the next line. Hard returns are also caused by some word processing [i]and email programs[/i].

More preferable would be a "soft return" wherein the text is allowed to continue automatically on the next line when it reaches the right side of the screen thus automatically adjusting to the varying width of each viewer's screen.

If your reports are being composed in a word processing or email program that is artificially inserting hard returns in the text, then please consider composing your Forum reports in another program or in the Forum's "Add New Report" window.

To follow up: I only said Bucharest was the greyest, grimmest CAPITAL city I had ever seen. I have seen grimmer cities - in the kuzbass coal mining region of central Siberia for example - but never a capital city that even came close to Bucharest.

This is not to say its difficult to score there or hard to find cute freebies, just that the general atmosphere and state of Bucharest is far worse than much poorer cities like Kiev, and miles behind the cheerful, stylish upbeat crowd and atmosphere you get in Riga or Tallinn.

The freebies you do find tend to be less cute and less stylish than freebies in aforementioned cities. Their hair is always either bottle blonde or bottle black - anything in between seems 'uncool' to Romania. The girls seem far more likely to be grumpy than girls in Ukraine, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania.

If you go there in isolation, I am sure you will enjoy the place. You will get birds, and they will be better than the eqivalent birds in the west. And as I have said before, Bucharest is ridiculously cheap. My point however, comes in the comparison with other cities in eastern europe (EE) - not in comparison with the west. In comparison with other cities in EE, Bucharest has a much lower quality of girls, much more limited city life and atmosphere, a grimmer city all round. The freebie birds are far less likely to shag on the first night than in other eastern european cities and even then, Romanian girls rarely if ever do anal sex, whereas it is 'de rigour' in many other EE countries, and that applies whether you are talking one night stands, gfs or working girls.

Having said that, I am more than happy to have my view changed on my next visit, by Pisdolero and Ian showing me what I may have missed on my previous visits there. :-)

I was in Bucharest and I tried some of the housing reference I found here. Well after a few disappointing tries I went in a very elegant and confortable apartment right in the center. I had no problem at all and it is better than my own apt back home!

I give you the email and web address. I have a phone number but you better ask it yourself.

Regarding the girls, do not go around the universities because you go crazy there! I used some contact I made thru the internet to meet girls, it takes patience but at the end it paid off.

Bucharest is a very easy city to find a pro in, but not in the ways and places you might suspect. There are massage parlors that offer "erotic masage" where you can't get much more than a backrub, and some lap dance places where you can't get anything more than the dance. There are also places where you can get it all or take the girl out, paying a barfine.

But some of the hotels are decidedly unfriendly to visitors.

It's best to rent an apartment (you can do this for as little as a three-day weekend, in my experience). Get as close to the center as possible. I find the University or the Piata
Unirii subway stops particularly good locations.

I find if you take the escalator down into the subway (there is a sort of mini-mall down there, you can get a decent lunch cheap) and back up the odds are good you will be approached by a woman asking what time it is. If you don't speak Romanian, show her your watch. She'll hold your hand while checking the time, and then probably make you an offer.

This is not a joke -- from 2 pm to 10 pm this worked so often I had to avoid the subway if I didn't want to get laid. From dusk on, the girls walk the strip on the street parallel to Victoria. It's name changes every 3 blocks or so, at the University subway stop it's called Magheru or Balcescu.

If you've got an apartment within a few blocks of this stroll, day or night it's no problem to find a girl. After dark if you don't want to take a chance on the streets (and there are some ripoffs in the works) you can go to the strip clubs that allow takeout and just do it. To save bucks, avoid the "private area" in the clubs, where you have to pay big bucks for undrinkable champagne. If an interesting girl sits next to you and asks for you to buy her a drink, find out what it costs first -- it can be a ripoff. If it is, you can skip ahead and ask what a takeout costs. Sometimes it's a reasonable 15 euros or so. In general, though, I found Romanian money (Lei, pronounced "lay") to be the best currency to be dealing in. In the clubs if the woman doesn't speak english, french, whatever, someone else will.

Prices do vary, but I found several good deals (3-4 hours of activity, with breaks for showers together and snacks) for what worked out to be $40-$50 in local currency. The first offered price is highly negotiable, I find.

For Italian4w.

Can you give me a reference to find that apt? or anybody else that has a good one, even not so central since taxy fares are so affordable!

And which web site did you use to get in touch with the girls over there?

Thanks

As mentioned here in previous messages I used www.aman2.ro.
I think it is the most popular one in Romania.

About the reference I do not really how to give it to you. As I said earlier check on the internet profiles.yahoo.com/buc-accomoda
I even went to the popular Disco Herastrau, many girls over there but all professionals and expensive. It is true that there do are some very nice one and that the atmosphere is fun. To save money get the number of the taxy driver that will take you there and call him to go back home; the ones waiting outside are not very save and will rip you off.

Send me a pm if you have need any other unpublishable information.
Bye

Hot Diggety, you take out girls from strip joints for just 15 euro? What do they do for that price and for how long? Are they white girls or gypsies?

How much do these streetwalkers charge? Are they mostly gypsies?

Maybe I should move to Bucharest. I wanted to avoid it, but it sounds like prices there are a lot less than in Timisoara.

Hei italian4w,

I tried your web site for the apartment you rented but it does not work. I think the right one is profiles.yahoo.com/buc_accomoda

I was in Bucharest but for 15 you get really lousy service and ugly girls. I just was able to find very nice girls without paying 100 euro.
Does anybody has the number of a girl in Bucharest that is really nice?

Hi Hot Diggidy Dog,

Very interesting post. I have been to Bucharest many times, always in the Unirii neighbourhood. I didn't know one could just walk down into the subway and look around for some girls to have fun with! Could you tell us a little more about that option? Are the girls independent or pimped? What quality? Are they gipsies? What are the prices? Isn’t it dangerous to take them into your apartment? Any other places where we can look for street girls?

Thanks a lot!
