I spent 6 weeks in Ukraine in Kiev and lugask and had no problems and met a lot of wonderful people and would love to go back, But a bit upset of there raising the visa to 100 USD plus about 25 USD in shipping for a total of 125 USD for a single entry visa when I can vist poland and all the north ex-soviet states to Estonia with out the need for a visa. so it quite folish for russa and ukraine to of done that I responce to the USA rasing the visa free to 100 USD as Russa and Ukraine and belaris is in much more need of money Tourest bring in to a country then the USA
I think it's a Russian pride thing from the past. If the US makes them pay then they will make us pay. Our prices are based on the overwhelming amount of Visa request we get and the overhead cost that come with such a large amount.
It is a double edge sword though. Russia might make some money from the visas, and of course they are entitled to, but then again, how much tourist dollars are they losing to Poland, etc. due to the price of a visa. $125.00 however does not seem to be unreasonable, when you factor in the cost of airfare, lodging, meals, etc. on a trip t o Russia. It's like the old saying goes "if you can afford the Ferrari, you don't worry about the cost of fuel", those can afford a trip to Russia, $125.00 is a nominal expense.
Hello guys. I found a girl on www.club10.com and wrote and talked to her for months before I went to her in Ivano Frankivsk. She met me at the Borspol airport and after being with her in a nice hotel for 4 days, she invited me to live with her. She told me she loved me and I felt I loved her. It was not long before I realized she was obsessed with MONEY. Before I went to her she told me she worked for a cosmetics co. I was to learn she lied to me. Had not worked in 12 years or more. She also was not very sexy. She is 47. A beauty but acted like a primadonna; never wearing casual clothes. She always had to dress in her finest furs and dresses. This bothered me but I was lonely and still cared for her. Well, I paid all the expenses for her apt., food, jewelry, clothes, mobile phone cards, hotels, trips, and gave her cash each day. I treated her as my wife. In the end, after 7 months with this bitch, she told me to leave and go to Italy where she would join me. It was a trick. I got to Italy and began singing in a nightclub (yes, I am a pro. singer) and I rented us an apartment near Sulmona. Then I called her and she told me she did not love me and we could only be friends. She took most of the money i had to my name. I returned to Ukraine angry and hurt. I am still here looking. I might have found a nice girl in Vinnista. She is much younger. I am at a point in my life where I don't trust any of these women; even american women. Greedy, jealous, untruthtful, etc. The police in this city of Ivano have hassled me twice now and a friend here told me how they beat him in a small room two years ago and he nearly died. In the hospital for 3 weeks. Long story. Dangerous country. No morals. No good roads. Trash everywhere. Dangerous drivers who would not mind killing you. They will never be democratic with all this bull shit going on.
I am Bill Warren-former U.S. Congressional Candidated and so frustrated.
I am not able to read the story, but I can see from the posts you had a bad time in Vinnitsa.
I met and married a wonderful and beautiful girl from there, but in my case, I met her best friend first, who was already living in Minneasota.
My wifes friend had been here two years, and I had to pass an interview before I was allowed to talk to my girl! then I was introduced.
I had a wonderful time in Vinnitsa, but it helps that I speak the language, and I knew I could trust the people I was with.
the point being, my wife still has a lot of friends who just want to find a good guy, no matter where he is from!
I would like to put in my order for one of your wifes friends. I want an stunning 35 to 42 year old woman who loves to dance and party. Contact me with details. <smile>
Cooper....sword said his wife has a lot of friends who want to find a 'good' guy!!! :)))
William....sorry what happened to you but where was your mind the whole time. How do you know anything about anyone in a few days...love???? you must not know what love is....you were merely trying to BUY a girl and she knew it and used it to her own advantage....sorry but 100% of blame here goes to you. Guys like you are the reason I have to put up with some girls that think I am in FSU to buy my way in to get a girl.
Inviting you live/visit their home so that you see what a tip it is and feel sorry for them and buy them loads of stuff is standard scammers ploy.
The most industrious scammers run a "primary" mark who they invite to their home and systematically fleece by playing the my-apartment-and-everything-in-it-is-so-crap card for all its worth. Usually the primary mark will also be paying regular living costs and/or rent. Then there will be typically several secondary marks who just get done over occasionally for vacations and shopping trips.
So far I've been a secondary twice but have yet to achieve the distinction of being a primary, still I live in hope :-).
Vinnitsa is a dubious place. I had a woman there try to steal my $400 translator right in from of me. She loved listing to mp3's... she said and put it in her purse. I shoved my hand in her purse and had to practically fight her to get my translator back out of her purse. She lost, I won and I should have cold cocked the bitch... but I did not. My point is she and many of the bitches in Vinnitsa are very desperate and only look at western men as a cash source. Perhaps there are some that are real but I think they have learned too well from their larger sister city of Kiev on how to fleece the westener. Stay clear of this place. But if you get the chance... empty your balls in them and leave town the next day!
