I am traveling to Pskov at the end of the month to meet a special lady. My first question is if anyone knows the size of this city and if it is as "westernized" as St Petersburg and Moscow? And, second, the agency is quoting me over 500.00 USD for transfers to and from St Petersburg....is their other alternatives?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
I live in Estonia and not far from Pskov. Bus ticket cost 200 roubles from St.Peterburg to Pskov!!! 500.00 is just funny, 500 roubles is enought!!!!!
Dont know about westernization, ist tourist destination, old russian town!
You can fly from London by Easyjet to Tallinn and take bus to Pskov! And here we have a nice site about Pskov, history and all that, http://www.pskov.ru/en
Bob,
I hope I am not talking to your girl ....
The one I'm in communication with has a first name initial "K" and is from another agency with the initials R L M....
And, my plans may move back into July, we can't get the logistics done quick enough for a June 24th departure
Scott
You had me going there,
The girl Im talking to in Pskov, IS on RLM
and her nickname does start with "K" -))
But she is 5'7", fair hair, DDG.
Early days yet though.
Bob,
I'm not sure what you mean......I will presume that you mean how did I do communicating with the girl from RLM in general??
It is strict. As you may know, you have to become a "qualified" member before you can make contact with the ladies. You have to purchase a minimum 2000 credits before you become "qualified". Once you are qualified, you can ask for contact information, and RLM gives you the E-mail, fax and phone of the girls agency. At that point, you have to send them a U.S. attestation form.This forms states that you have never been convicted of drug use/posessesion, sexual misconduct, and that you are NOT married. You have to sign it and have it notarized. I had to scan mine and E-mail it to them. Once the agency receives it, the girl then gives formal approval for the meeting. At that point, the agency then tries to sell you their introduction package, which is a combination of Airport transfers, Hotel accomodation (the one I contacted was not receptive to assisting with an apartment), drivers by the hour, and interpreters. That's about it. However, my trip to Pskov has been scratched. I found out from her agent, that he has requested a translator for our meeting, after she told me months ago she was comfortable with us conversing in English. Not that she was proficient, but she said she be able to understand me and I would have to be patient with her. So, it's back to Kiev for me!!! I depart Thursday morning :)
