Afternoon gents.

I traveled to the Slovak Republic on business for 10 days and had a pretty good time.

Price 5/5
I was immeadiately impressed by how inexpensive everything was. Dinner for 4 with ample beer, wine, appertizers, etc came out to roughly 30 Euro. We had to go over the receipt a few times to make sure we were charged for everything. Bottle service in the club was like 50 Euro, and girls were impressed that we weren't downstairs with "the poor people". Definitely a place where you can make your money stretch. Didn't encounter any scamming of any sort. I also stayed at the best hotel in town (Hotel Polana in Zvolen) which ran about 40 Euro a night.

Food 5/5
I don't know if I just have the gift of picking out amazing restaurants or if every spot we went to was just that good but man...I ate like a king for 10 days. Their diet is really meat heavy, lots of potatoes but everything is cooked to perfection. Even the gyro stand was awesome.

Women 3.5/5
Not quite my particular style and taste, I'd say pretty average with an extra point for level of approachability. Pretty faces but very slim. There were some where my friends and I looked in disbelief at how thin they were. Slovak women look like the women in Prague and Budapest to me. I didn't notice any huge differences. They're very approachable and even turn you down in a friendly way (no chance of hooking up but still wanted to be FB friends?). I had a couple ready to go back to my hotel room from this club called "Ministry of Fun" but we were completely wasted and there were 7 of us convoying together. Definitely not the most inviting scenario. With the right number of wingman and better planned movement I'd say one could clean up rather well. Some of the guys made it to Bratislava (about two hours west) and said the girls were much less receptive in the capital and more P4P action going on which further co-signs Roosh's policy about 2nd tier cities being gold mines.

Sights: 1.5/5
Zvolen & Banksa Bystrica are in the middle of Slovakia. Bratislava to the west. Polish border to the north, Budapest to the south, etc. In the town themselves, there's not much to see. I'm infatuated with the USSR so seeing the old Soviet architecture and just walking around a place that I wouldn't have been able to 20 years ago was pretty cool. Other than that, not much to see. Zvolen does have some decent baby sized mountains that provided some decent scenery.

Race Relations: 5/5
Being a black American, I know some of the other guys are curious about how we're interacted with in different places. Fortunately there was nothing to note here. A lot of double and triple takes, staring and smiling but nothing bad. Women and men were friendly and after a few moments went on about their way. I had the distinct honor of being the only Black guy in the club which was an experience. Some women bee lined towards me to talk. Others glanced and kept it moving. Again, nothing worth noting. One of my wingmen is of Korean descent and was invisible in the club on the other hand. We tag approached groups of girls just for the novelty of a Black/Asian wing and most of the women acted like he wasn't standing there. A big shoutout to the guys in the Ministry of Fun club. I've never met such friendly people, introducing me to all of their women friends, inviting me to dance with their gf's, etc. Very cool of them and it leaves you no choice but to respect them and their country.

I'm in Germany until 2015 and try to travel somewhere new every weekend so I'll be posting more datasheets in the future.

Happy hunting.

Sounds pretty decent, but it seems like a 2nd tier city in the Czech Republic might be better. Eastern European experts opine, please.

Don't you mean Banska Bystrica?

Can't believe that you're complaining about that! I have to pull some strings on my thrice-removed cousins in Slovakia and get there ASAP!

The girls in Slovakia are supposed to be hotter than the czech ones. At least thats what my slovak FB is telling me.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

Just not my thing. I don't like whales but I'm into the malnourished CKOne look either. A nice inbetween for this guy.

Sounds like a place one could do some damage

I am in also in Germany right now, Leipzig, arrived yesterday. Quite impressed by the place so far, very alternative crowd, I went out last night to a funky club was getting a lot of eye contact, but was too tired from travelling to do anything

I think you just described my dream city. Cheap, with super thin girls with pretty faces that are approachable? Hell yes.

How was the general standard of English?

Dom, can you break down the venues a bit more?

How big is this city? Is it dead during the week?

Any recommendations on day gaming spots?

English wasn't a problem at all. BB is a big college town and with Slovakia being a new entry to the EU, there was a big push for everyone to learn basic English. This was explained to me by one of the locals, not sure how factual it all is.

I don't remember the names of every bar we hit up. The main club on the weekend is this place called Ministry of Fun. Decent sized house club, two levels, with about a 70/30 ratio..no exaggeration.

The towns Zvolen and Banska Bystrica aren't that big. BB is the bigger of the two and where you would want to base your operations out of IMO. BB has about 70k. Zvolen might have a 1/3 of that.

Couldn't really day game as I was at work from 7-5 during the week. Typical town, girls are about in abundance just shopping and wandering around. Everyone was really receptive to just walking up and introducing yourself. Curious why you're in BB of all places but overall, I'm not 100% sure.

70 (female) / 30 (male) ratio....there didn't really seem to be a lot of dudes around besides on the Slovakian AF base.

Great report.

How were the clubs?

What time do bars close?

Can you smoke in bars?

The clubs were pretty cool. No hassle to get in, no dress code, etc.

Bars didn't seem to close too early. I remember stumbling out of a few places back to my hotel to head to work less than an hour later.

One thing to note about the bars, I consider myself a pretty advanced drinker but these same super slim girls were drinking us under the table and did not appear drunk whatsoever. It was the strangest thing. They called us pussies for having mixed drinks while they were drinking vodka straight. Just know your limit and don't be fooled by their size, you will not win any drinking games.

I'm a face guy first, but no T&A is still an issue. You say they remind you of Prague, but the breasts there are some of the biggest in Europe outside UK, per Greek. How would you rate faces alone? How much work to find a girl with something to squeeze?

So what does that mean? Clubs close at 6am?

What about smoking?

That was the time we left, the clubs were still going. I tried to check the official site but it's blocked here at work: (http://www.ministry.sk)

I think smoking is banned inside clubs and bars. There were some hole in the wall spots where people were smoking but in general I don't recall seeing many episodes of people smoking indoors.

Faces play as we say in Greece.Some good some not so good.It is slavi csituation.Killer bodies common but a lot of faces can be very plain looking(what rooshv describes as butterface I think).
