Riga TRAVEL REPORT Submitted on 5/18/98 by Jack Gents: If you get a chance to travel to the Baltics, you'll find women VERY friendly.
Get a copy of "REKLAMA" in Russian.Girls are 15 Latts ($28) per hour, often 30
Latts for 3 hours (maybe
32-35 Latts, or about $60) for THREE hours. (She'll usually smoke a cigarette for 20
minutes and talk if she knows it's 3 hours, but what the heck with the 3rd hour for free.
Yes, you should know Russian. (It's Latvija, but the working girls are mostly Russians.)
If you call enough firms you will find several who speak English in the office. If you
request a girl who
speaks English, you may pay more and their may be some delay, but it is definitely
possible.
The BEST thing to do if you can stay for a long time and you speak some Russian is place
your own ad. Say "Material support possible" or some other hint. Then you can
meet and select your own favorite girl. Then, the price can be 10-15 Latts for the entire
evening ($22-$28), since there's no firm taking half. (A month's salary there is normally
$250-$500/month.)
But the BEST pay-off is that if you meet someone perfect, it only costs about $550-$680
off-season to fly her home with you (which many will do) andyou can have all you want, all
the time.
