Good, I'm glad where just having fun.  And let me tell you I've had my ass kicked before buy guys who I thought I could beat.  But that happens in twenty years of Marital arts.  I can tell you I'm just a average guy who worked his butt off and damn proud of what I did.

As I'm sure you did and you are.

No harm no foul.   Peace be with you.  Of course through Superior firepower!

You know, I have some Indian friends, they made the comment
"Some people, you just have to carpet bomb" referring to Muslims, Pakistani in general. I prefer just one big BOOM :-)

Mudd, I have been following your posts for some time. It was you that I first heard of an agency in MDE. I am surprised that you have not hooked up yet. sounds like you have been all over. i know it is not easy. any comments? favorite places, agencies? next destination?

... in response to change of subject, posted by papi on Jul 13, 2005

Hey Papi, yep, been a lot of places on this planet. Met some really nice girls in a lot of countries, and some countries were a complete waste of time. I did meet a nice girl in Cali, but we will see how it goes, some issues to resolve, and like you said, this isn’t an easy process. Actually, I was hoping YOU were going to open an agency in Brazil. That place is just waiting for a good agency.

AS for favorite places, countries would be Germany, Italy, and Austria, similar to Germany. Costa Rica maybe Panama, but damm, is it humid there. Agencies, Cali VIP, Colombian Sweethearts, International Introductions. Next destination, don’t know yet, CLO or MDE ill get back to you on that, and if I run into you, ill buy you dinner.

... in response to Re: change of subject, posted by mudd on Jul 13, 2005

what places were a waste of time?? Brazil agency - maybe but the biz is very risky. few guys making money at it - at least in LA. takes capital to do it right and even then demand is spotty in my view. Further, i have never been to Brazil and have no contacts there. dinner sounds good

... in response to Re: Re: change of subject, posted by papi on Jul 13, 2005

places that were a waste of time, if you were looking for wife material, Belarus, Western Russia, France, Germany just about any part of western europe. Ukraine is a little diffrent, still some good girls over there, and man, they have some hot looking women!!!

did yu come close in the UKE? what is the deal exactly with that place? i cant get a good handle on it

... in response to Re: Re: Re: Re: change of subject, posted by papi on Jul 13, 2005

you have to go to cities that are not visited so much by the mailorder bride business. stay out of kiev, kherson, odessa. these cities are the most traveled cities there, but other cities are good places to go. did i come close, yep, but the girl wouldnt wait until i came back, which was like 5 months later. back then, it was hard to make several trips, and its a  LONG trip to make from the west coast. they do have some nice girls there if you look hard enough, just like colombia.

... in response to Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: change of subject, posted by mudd on Jul 13, 2005

living in miami - it probably makes sense for me to stick with LA but the look in the FSU/UK i often find more attractive

No offense East European side of P-L but Papi, you best stick to Latinas and leave them pretty FSU ladies alone.  Trust me on that one amigo.

Poka!

I'll second you on that one Paul, one trip to Moscow and St. Pete was enough for me.  Although I must say that St. Pete was culturally (museums, architecture etc) more interesting than Bogota/Cali and a beautiful city in June for sure...

... in response to change of subject, posted by Cali James on Jul 13, 2005

thats the problem, you have to stay out of the big cities, Moscow and St Pete are the last places your going to find a nice girl. thats like looking in Los Angeles or New York.
You know how many hookers are in Mocsow, its incredible!!!!

Probably true.  My gal was from Tver though but after a few days there we went to Moscow and then on to St. Pete.  I really liked St. Pete, great city especially during the white nights.

CJ,

You must have used LTP then if you went to Tver. One of their salesmen, Marc, did a good job following up with telephone calls and finally convinced me, along with all those videos of the beautiful women being interviewed to make my first trip abroard looking for a wife.

I took that overnight train to SPB from Tver and thought I'd stepped back in time. A terrible ride getting to SPB but I had some nice company with one of those beautiful long legged blondes the FSU is famous for.

SPB was indeed very beautiful stepped in rich history but it seemed very run down and dangerous. Experiencing the "white nights" sure was an interesting experience. Nightfall didn't really occur until 1:00 AM or so.

After the SPB run I flew down to Sochi, the Russian Riviera. I was surprised to see that this city is actually tropical in climate. The beaches there could not compete with the beautiful CA/SA I have visited.

The following summer I returned to Sochi and also did a side trip to Bishkek prior to 9/11. Ahh, the memories.

After one trip to Colombia though I was sold on the Latin culture and although there aren't many natural blondes in SA I decided not to return to the FSU in search of a sweetheart. I found the Latin women and culture much more to my liking.

There are lots of pros and cons and I might be preaching to the choir but here are a few of my observations in comparing both locations. Your mileage may vary.

LATIN

Pros:
Beautiful
Affectionate
Easier language
Similar alphabet
Better food
Less travel time/expense getting there
No visa
Easier adjustment to US culture
Little jetlag
Nice accent
Nice winters
Less scammers

Cons:
Large family unit
Few natural blondes
Aguardiente
Less educated
Less agencies
Dangerous visiting

RUSSIAN

Pro:
Very beautiful women
Many natural blondes
Taller in height
More agencies
Armenian Cognac
Highly educated/cultured
Small family unit
Nice accent

Con:
Matriarchal society
Can become ruthless
Very difficult language
Different alphabet
Standoffish (at first)
Terrible food
Greater travel time/expense
Visa required
Dangerous visiting
Lots of jetlag
Cold winters
Tons of scammers

Chao y poka!

No I didn't use that agency but if I remember correctly it was out of Santa Clara California which was about 10 minutes from where I was living at the time.  No I was posting in those days over on the RWL, a lively place for sure. lol  Somehow through RWL I came in contact with a Russian lady in San Jose but originally from from St. Pete.  She had a little agency and I started writing some of her gals and 6 months later I got on a plane for Moscow from SFO. It was a direct flight from SFO (San Francisco) with 1 hour layover in St. Pete.  Flew right over the north pole more or less, 12 hour flight.  Her family picked me up in Moscow, we hung out in Moscow for a day and then we drove about 100 miles an hour back to TVER, scared me half to death.  First couple days were OK but it became clear that my 1.78M Russian had truly the personality of a super-model.  Yes, she was tall, curvy and gorgeous but she was just too into herself.  Even my translator commented on it, she said 'James, not all Russian women are like Iryna' and she didn't mean it as a compliment.  

I had no backup plan and was more or less committed to 2 weeks with her so I made the best of it.  In a lot of ways I had a really good time.  Iryna had moments where she let down her super-model personna and was actually funny.  Despite your experience, I enjoyed the midnight train to Saint Pete.  We had our own cabin, the service was good, it was like stepping into a Bogart movie or something, kind of surreal in a cool way.  Although now that I think about it, using the bathroom was interesting. lol.  

When we got to St. Pete we were picked up and I rented a flat out about 15 or 20 minutes by metro from the city center.  It was a flat about 5 floors up in a 10 story cement communist looking building.  These buildings went on for miles it seemed, all drab looking, no personality but it was interesting for sure.  My translator was cool, she was a tall blond, very pretty and she spoke excellent British English.  She was only 21 but smart, man she was smart.  I was almost embarressed when we would talk about literature or history and in general that was my experience with Russian people, very well educated.  Except my Iryna, probably not the book smart intellect of my translators but she was street smart for sure.  Anyway, I knew it wasn't going to work out with Iryna, we more or less said our good byes after two weeks.  She told me she didn't really need me anyway as there were "new Russians" (mafiosos) she could always hook up with.  I have no doubt with her looks that what she said was true.  One trip to Russia was enough for me!
