Hi all,
have been corresponding with a beautiful lady from Melitopol for some months now, and we agreed to meet in Kiev in April. When I had booked my tickets, and told her so, she wanted me to send her 920,-USD for her to purchase tickets, taxi etc.. Guess most of you have heard that one before..
Of course, I wil not send any money, but will anyway go to Kiev by myself, and explore the city.. And yes, of course, would have been great to meet a girl.. :o)
Planning to stay in a hotel in the center of town..
Any good advice what to do/not to do ?
All help highly appreciated.
Greetings from Norway
How trusting do you find the girl? I paid $350 to get a girl from there to Kiev last year but I felt I knew her well enough to do that. Not sure where $920 came from.
Wonder if it is same chick?
Stay in Apartment in Kiev, better value. Try ukrainefare.com. Arrange transfers ahead of time. As long as you are in city center there is plenty of sights on main street. Have agency numbers just in case you want to meet girls. Have a good time!
Thanks beemer18,
Here's the explanation for 920 USD :
"As for money for my trip, I need $140 for taxi to Zaporozhie airport
and back. Then the air-fee for round trip is $290. For me and the
interpreter it is - $580. So, it is $720. and $200 as a deposit for
the apartment. As for money for taxi, I'll pay them to a taxi driver
directly. As for money for the tickets, I'll buy tickets in Melitopol,
we have here a travel agency where they sell local and international
tickets. I'll take with me to Kiev only money for the apartment, I'll
have to pay them on entering the apartment."
I find her trusting, yes, but not sure if I will be 920USD of my wallet, and all alone on the airport on arrival in Kiev... :o)
Think it will be a great trip anyhow... Maybe a good season now to visit Kiev.
Thanks again!
