Allow 10 working days. An invitation is not required. I paid more since I cannot stay in Riga long enough to wait. There is also a service centre in the railway station which will provide a visa service. My trip is going well and I'm very impressed with the women in Riga. I have been here for 10 days and will stay a few more. I went direct to the agencies for their opinion on which girls are serious and which choose the most expensive items on the menu! I have had 3 dates with different women and have another 3 lined up for this week. The ones I initially was corresponding with, I was either, deterred from, or did not quite 'hit the spot'. One was incredibly beautiful but depressed and troubled (violent father). Was she interested in me, for me? Or to escape her predicament? What happens when she achieves her aim? It's like falling in love with one's nurse only to see the relationship change when the patient improves. Bit too risky. I should know it happened to me! Old Town Riga is like Beverley Hills to these women. They can't usually afford to eat/shop there, so you can understand their being like kids in a candy store. Bit like me when I first joined Fiance.com. Best strategy is to take them to restaurants that have low prices. There is a chain of Lido restaurants here which serve traditional Latvian food. Great prices and decent food. It may actually pay to take them other restaurants just to see what they DO choose. Might say something about their attitudes to money. This may not always be accurate since they may not know what is expensive to you? The people at the agencies are very nice and I did not think I was being misled in any way. Paying for a meeting to be setup may be better than just buying contact details. One cost 40 Euros and guarantees a meeting, the other 10 Euros and you are on your own. I paid for three phone numbers and was able to arrange 2 meetings. At 47, I'm feeling the age difference, yet for some women it does not matter. This is something I am still getting my head around. I'm going to St.Petersburg on the 10th July and Moscow 2 weeks later. I have some dates lined up. Will keep you posted.

If you get a chance could you find out if it would be worth taking a laptop there and if you could use a wireless card to access the web at any cafes or similar establishments. It will be interesting to hear your report on the differences between Latvia and Russia. Still got your van? QuietCharm Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/4/2004 3:41:39 AM   I have had no problem acessing the web using internet cafes. They are cheap and plentiful. Yes. Still have the van. The only problem I have had was born out of my own stupidity. Met a young, local girl on street who was 'looking for a husband' who it turned out was looking for my wallet. Lost 750 Euros (yes, yes.. I shouldn't have been carrying so much). It will make a good anecdote for my diary. Don't be put off Riga by this. It could happen in any city. I recover the money, thankfully, if Portugal win Euro 2004 (says he praying) I have had 8 different dates now and the last was very heavy going.. low level of English. For me, a reasonable level of English is now mandatory. Met one women, I found through the agency, who is a definite maybe. Very attractive, educated and at 34, the age I am seeking. I have never seen so many beautiful women as I have in Riga and there are a lot of very attractive women registered with agencies. Although, I think I am a good catch, I have tended to avoid the most beautiful, since my belief was they tend to know their own worth and I have no wish to compete with a thousand other men. The reality maybe somewhat different. Some of these women are not looking for rich, handsome, etc.. men. and they are not necessarily seduced by the prospect of life in the U.S. Europeans have as good a chance, if not better. If you are a 'good' man, you are attractive, at least to those women I have met. idiotdetector Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/4/2004 4:35:34 AM   Good info charm and good decicion on the bad fathered girl. Maybe you were wrong about her but better to get out and find something you are more comfortable with.
