Good to hear. That is the city that intrigues me the most so far from my research.

I'll add the hotels and other 10+ nightclubs and add city information later

Wherever we go and whatever we do in Russia, the takeover of the DR by several RV forum members is a good example of how we can go about it. Except no meltdowns like Ali lol, or we will get our asses kicked. Russia is a much bigger monster to slay, at least for me.

Be careful on the roads out there

just read this entire thread and boy this is looking like a truly epic adventure in the making if we do make it there with 3-4 hardcore guys from here who have their shits together. I love the idea of getting together say in early Sept 2013 and meeting in say Moscow or Ste Pets and from there, get on the Trans Siberia train and then once in the selected city, we could rent/or buy a cheap car/van and go sexplore the region otherwise, we'd get bored to death in some of these shit holes. Depending on how many of us would go there, we could then decide to either get one sick pad, say a luxury 3-4 bedroom penthouse in the best/poshest area in town and share the costs.

I'm really looking forward for this and I'm sure with the well travelled guys who will be part of this it will be a blast. Add to this the local expertise of BB and it will be truly epic that it will DWARF anything the boys in the DR can do...

Yes VP the point would be to DWARF are good ole friends in the DR. They have done a damn good job, but slaying Russia is at another level. I will announce in mid January in the DR, if I am definitely going.... since i have to iron out visa issues, when I get back to my south american city of residence, in 25 days. The DR will be a cake walk for me. Russia is another story.

Sounds like this is really happening. I have to start taking Russian more seriously.

Yeah, i have started learning the language too, maybe we can get rotation groups going like the DR boys, anyone up from mid-december 2013? it's the only time i'll be able to come but i'm really interested on doing this.

I am sure we will not coincide on our timelines. If I can make it, it would probably be 3 months from mid july til mid october. A rotation is what will probably happen.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, I've only read page 1 so far, but do the lower bitch shields in remote areas really make up for the experience of living in an "industrial shithole" What would the groups experience be in a more trendy place further West. Maybe not Moscow or St Petersburg, but maybe Sochi?

Anyway, sounds like an interesting idea. I'll have to try to read the other 8 pages of this thread to see were this idea is going.

Lastly: How difficult is it to learn basic Russian for a native English speaker with some knowledge of Dutch, French and German?

Novosibirsk has a symphony, a medical school I believe, and probably more respect for high culture among the educated than the average like-size city in the country that produced "Jersey Shore."

Any feedback on Rostov-on-Don?

Population of just over 1 million. I have talked online to a few cute girls from there.

Post: #237

ManAbout,
Which site(s) do you use to chat Russian girls online? What are the best legit non foreign bride scam sites out there? Is VK THE place to look in or is there another site or 2 that would fit that bill?

I'm also starting to download Pimsleur Russian lessons and start getting on that. Damn, juggling between Russian and Chinese is not going to be easy. Damn!

Btw, Roosh, why don't you join us in this project? Would be fun. What do you say brother?
Oh and Kamaki, you HAVE to join us. Half of the entertainment will be seeing you in action with your Balkan Power man!

Nobosibirsk is it unless we can definitely find a better city. And Kamaki you better come or we will find you lol. American guys when they are mad can get as much as energy as Balkan power.

I am just using VK, no need to use anything else. Been chatting with this one for quite a bit. She is very responsive and gets into the conversation.



What I do is, instead of blind messaging them, I look for shared interests that I can talk to them about and initiate the conversation that way. I find the percentage of replies is much higher, as is the interest level.

Post: #240

Very nice MA! How good is your Russian so far? Are you actively learning/studying Russian?
I like your approach of talking to them based on mutual interests. That's a surefire way to at least get in the door. I'll get on VK.
She's beautiful, good stuff man!

Cheers man.

Non existent at the moment. 100% Google translate. It actually works very well. However, I know that's not going to fly when I meet them face to face. So, I am hoping to have some level of Russian established before then.

Here is an example of what I was talking about earlier. This is a group about Brazil.

http://vk.com/club20217236

Filter the members by female, and then by age, city and maybe whether they are single or not, but that is not always reliable. Send the short listed females a message about Brazil or Portugese or what ever.

Post: #242

That's an awesome page you've found here man! I'm going to have a field day with the Brasil fan page on VK!Awesome awesome idea!
Btw, when are you planning on going to Russia? Are you in for this RVF Siberian meet up project next fall?

Cheers man!

Yes VP I will play the Brazilian angle to its fullest. I will say I am half American and Brazilian and pull out my fluent portuguese, talk about the World Cup in 2014 and in Russia in 2018. A little refreshing of my french wont hurt any and re reading tolstoy and dostoevsky. Anything to bang the young beautiful type of girl that Man About posted. This trip could be epic. Lets make it happen and make it more espectacular than the DR guys´ trip.

Did you guys just memorize the Cyrillic and start translating everything? Or have you jumped into memorizing how it sounds, disregarding the text? Trying to figure out the best way to approach this beast of a language. Right now I have the penguin Russian book, lots of apps, Rosetta (haven't used), and pimsleur Russian 1.

I learned the alphabet and I have been watching youtube videos of song that have the russian and english lyrics on the screen at the same time. That and learning the 1000 most common words, and phrases. This is what helped me learn spanish so fast. Well that and babylon. I think Rosetta stone is the biggest waste of time personally.

I'm memorizing Cyrillic at the moment then i'll start in common words and so on.

Post: #250

I was intimidated by the Cyrillic at first but I memorized it tonight and began translating words. Chapter one of the Penguin book breaks down the letters and makes it easy. I'd take breaks and use the Russian Alphabet iPhone app to drill in the sounds of each letter. Should not take you more than an hour or two to be able to "flash card" through the letters and know their sound without missing more than a few. I'll probably skip ch2 of penguin (handwriting) and move into ch3 (basic phrases) while also focusing on numbers and other basic vocab via apps. I'll also do an hour of pimsleur in the car tomorrow. I'll give Rosetta a try at some point (only tested it with Spanish and Portuguese and yeah it was a waste of time).
