Would be driving, taking ferry , driving. Can't trust the news - or much else for that matter. Rick4girl Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/1/2015 3:53:37 PM   If you are American or western in general, I would recommend against it as the occupying forces could subject you to any type of adverse treatment at any time and without any diplomatic recourse. That said, if you still wish to go then you will need a Russian visa now. everything has been converted to rubles and runaway inflation and shortages are common. beemer18 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/1/2015 10:04:24 PM   Well Rick you are semi-right....money has been converted to rubles and social structure is a few years from any recovery BUT I have a couple friends there( 1 is british) and they seem to be doing fine.....no adverse treatment, for them life goes on!! TomZ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/2/2015 11:12:51 AM   I was in Crimea March 2014 just before it fell to the Russians. Now that I think back on it some of the people seemed pretty nasty there. I would not want to go there again, even for a girl. If she's worth her salt she could meet me in Kiev. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/2/2015 12:17:04 PM   I was in Crimea. I encountered no nasty people, only nice people. dcguy Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/2/2015 12:56:09 PM   Costs for passage between Ukraine and Russian areas could be steep and difficult to obtain. When you have belligerent bordering areas, getting entry is often a much bigger hassle (unless you are into bribing people). lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 1:00:42 AM   The people of Crimea need foreigners now more than ever,,, they might even think of them as “heaven sent”?… Foreigners are doing more for the local economy than Putin is. I would worry about police and Russian soldiers,,,, cause we are trying to destroy Russia you know?! Lol Rick4girl Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 1:46:40 AM   LR wrote: "The people of Crimea need foreigners now more than ever" they need foreigners in Crimea...hell, they need Russian tourists too! last year Russia offered people money to vacation in Crimea and it was a total bust and its not looking good for this year either. Russia made all kinds of promises to Crimea and yet not even one has been fulfilled. sales of Crimean wine are down over 50% as Ukrainians and western European nations boycott. I have over 2 dozen bottles of Crimean wine in my collection but stopped buying last year, only buying pre-invasion wines which have already tripled in price. prices for food are nearly double Ukrainian prices MartinPC Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 3:09:21 AM   From what I read Putin scored one hell of a lot of popularity points with the Russian people for his seizing of Crimea yet according to Rick the Russian people have voted with their feet and boycotted their annual vacations to Crimea. So what goes on, what are the facts, what do the Russian people these days think of Crimea as a vacation destination? ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 3:29:09 AM   Perhaps they are not vacationing because of their economic situation. I remember the open market in Crimea. Yalta to be exact. My date was shopping with her daughter. I wandered by myself. I ran into a merchant from Azerbaijan, who asked me if I was American. I said yes and he pointed to his associate at some distance away, walking towards us. He said he was his friend and he looks like me. When his friend got to us, sure enough he did look like me. I pointed at him, he pointed at me and we both laughed hysterically. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 4:11:22 AM   "Well Rick you are semi-right....money has been converted to rubles and social structure is a few years from any recovery BUT I have a couple friends there( 1 is british) and they seem to be doing fine.....no adverse treatment, for them life goes on!!" Just because a couple of friends "seem" to be doing fine does not mean the Russians will not give you adverse treatment at any time and without any diplomatic recourse. A couple of friends is not adequate to come to a viable conclusion. Anyone want to try going to Crimea to test whether or not you get adverse treatment? I vote for Rick. bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 6:59:00 AM   It comes down to if they can afford it, inflation has hit the ruble hard and since people need to pay more for the basics there is not as much money for vacation. there is no direct access to Crimea from Russia there is an airport and few ferries but no roads or buses. I am sure this will change as the Russian troops are going to take Mariupol in time giving them a road and rail system. MartinPC Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 8:26:17 AM   Bowhunter, For decades Crimea has been the holiday destination of much of Russia, direct access isn't something that has changed! Rick4girl Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 10:08:37 AM   In the past decade, many Russians traveled abroad in Europe and other places such as Turkey, Egypt, etc. In the past year that has dropped by nearly half. Crimea is not likely to see a big increase over last year and I havent yet heard of any government incentives to vacation there this summer. TomZ Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 10:36:05 AM   From what I've been told by Russians is that for the same money as going to Crimea they can go to Egypt and Turkey and get all inclusive. Crimea does not have any all inclusive resorts. If anyone wants to correct me on that, feel free. I've been to some all inclusive resorts in Cuba where Russians were guests. They are pigs. They can't handle their alcohol. Many of them drunk lying in the hallway and on the floor. They pile their plates at the buffet like they can go only one time or like they have never been to an all you can eat buffet before. dcguy Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 12:19:58 PM   This is also needed for dating someone in the FSU areas. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/smitten-with-cuba-better-cal l-the-love-detective-before-you-commit/2015/04/23/2ecfae5a-e47e-11e4-ae0f-f8c46a a8c3a4_story.html To read the webpage, remove any embedded spaces in the URL address. dcguy Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 12:24:53 PM   "They pile their plates at the buffet like they can go only one time or like they have never been to an all you can eat buffet before." The concept of a smorgasbord is of Scandinavian origin. The Russians apparently do not share that concept. moyarishka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 3:35:34 PM   Vakation in 5* AI in Turkey is cheaper than in 2* in Crimea. Russians don't come there. To go there by car they had to wait in a line fo the ferry for 2-3 days. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/3/2015 4:07:02 PM   "I've been to some all inclusive resorts in Cuba where Russians were guests.

They do exist. Go to any buffet and you will find a few who pile their plates, even where there are no Russians around.
