I met alot of girls over the first four days. Almost all of the
girls I met initially I met in the @dventures@ndromance office on the
third floor of the Hotel Chaika (not a hotel I would recommend
staying at ie. cheap rooms but you wouldn't get sleep because hookers
would be banging on your door all night (or so I was told). I wanted
to meet 21 girls and over the first five days I met them all. The
girls were on time. Girls I liked I set up subsequent dates with.
Many of the girls liked me and I them. I had a big problem on my
hands ie. which girls to choose. Most girls looked great, though
some looked better than their photos and others looked worse. Two
girls really stood out in my mind. One was 23 and the other was the
33 year old brunette. I went out with Natalia, the 33 year old
brunette every day until day 6 when she had to go to Krasnodar two
days for her job. That is when I concentrated on Larisa, a 23 year
old girl with beautiful blue eyes, long eyelashes and a body that
could easily be playmate of the year. She was a joy to slow dance
with in a nightclub. However, this trip I was determined to find a
wife and stop thinking with my little head. I realized that she was
just too childish for me to take a chance on a fiance visa with her.
One afternoon with Larisa I went up a furnicular overseaing the whole
city with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
Sochi is a truly beautiful vacation spot, whether you hook up with a
girl or not. Of course all of our primary goals is to hook up. The
next morning I visited the primate breeding program. Since that is
what I do in part for a living that was particularly interesting for
me. From that point on I knew that I would be spending the rest of
my time with Natalie. About 30 minutes outside of Sochi starts
mountains. The region Krasnaya Polyana has a ski lift which takes you
up 2000 feet. At the bottom it is green. Half way up it starts to
become cold. 1/3 from the top was snow and skiiers. I gave Natalie a
Kalto ($75 ring with a $5 heart shaped box) to remember me. It was a
very romantic moment going up the ski lift giving her the ring.
Like always I have my doubts. I never had sex with her, just
passionate hugs kisses etc. but 10 days of knowing this person did
not present itself for sex - not what I wanted, but thats how it went.
Is it enough to not do a fiance visa? I will see her when I go to
Novosibirsk or Moscow over the next month. After that I will put in
the fiance visa paperwork. Oh, one other thing I did that was great
was a "cruise" which was really a two hour day - boatride on the
Black sea. There were dolphins swimming by left and right, truly
beautiful, but honestly better on the St. Maarten beach. Still, for
that part of the world it was really nice. The best restaurants were
"Home Cooking" and "Ear of Corn." Underneath the big mural of Lennin
by the River Sochi is a whole bunch of cheap restaurants with
excellent shastlick. We always ordered the pork shastlick which was
truly stupendous. On the way back from Krasnaya Polyana is an
Armenian restaurant. I had pork shastlick there as well. Excellent.
One other thing about Sochi. There is a definite mafia presence.
Also, there are alot of Armenian taxi cab drivers. You just see the
Armenians at the airport and driving taxis (plus that one restaurant).
They are scary looking and just tended to lear with black beady eyes.
All in all I had a great time. If you are looking for a full service
agency where you can meet alot of girls this is a good one right now,
especially if you are between 30 and 45 due to the ages of most of the
pretty girls. I say right now because I know there are lots of pretty
girls right now. How well they will be able to recruit new pretty
girls is an unknown. Sochi is a small city (350000 people which
swells to 1 - 1.2 million over the summer). Therefore, I can only
see a limited period of time before they get fished out. However,
right now they are a great agency to deal with. I know they are
hungry for clients right now and will give deep discounts to get you
to go. Oh, two other interesting things. On Adolph Hitlers birthday
there was a fear that skinheads would target foreigners. We ate that
night at the hotel we were staying at. It was a running joke amongst
the three Americans that we would have nothing to worry about because
we had an American representative with us (the 58 year old guy was
a big burly guy from Georgia who happened to be bald). His joke about
me is that I may be mistaken for a Turk, Georgian or Armenian because
I am short and darker than the average guy. Luckily, I do not have
a big hook for a nose and have green eyes, so I never had that
problem. One last thing which disturbs me, but is good for you the
possible consumer. Natasha, the excellent manager from
@dventures@ndrom@nce.c@m worked for a disreputable agency in that
town called @ Rus@n Rom@nce. She left that agency and took alot of
their prettiest girls with her. What that agency would do, besides
charge a high fee to Americans and then nickel and dime them when they
were there, was steer them away from the pretty girls for dogs even
if it mean't lying to the guys that the pretty girls did not like them
and lying to the pretty girls about the guy. The reason is that @RR
would make girls pay to join. If a girl was pretty they would take
her as a client to use her photos on their website but then would do
everything possible to make sure she would not hook up with a guy when
he came over. Natasha, the manager for @dventures@ndrom@nce.com, used
to work for @ Russi@n Rom@nce and saw what was going on from the
inside. Many girls in that agency were unhappy. So, Natasha took
the prettiest girls with her in @dventuresandRom@nce.com determined
to do what was right. Right now @dventures@ndrom@nce.com is like the
wild west, just yours for the taking. Plenty of girls, no competition
in a beautiful city. I can not guarantee you will match, but they
will try their best for you, accompany you every step of the way if
that is what you would like them to do and the girls most importantly
are there. I will meet my Natalie in the near future, think about
how our lives will be togehter and make a decision about a fiance visa
at that point. I have learned that another vacation / meeting is
well worth it when considering marriage - just my opinion and
probably many of you would contend that an even longer courtship
period / more meetings is necessary. Oh, one other thing, I told her
if we were to marry she will have to sign a prenuptual agreement so
I ensure that assets belonging to me prior to marriage stay mine.
I had the interperter explain my idea of the prenuptual agreement
so there would be nothing left to chance. She had no problem with it.
