Budapest is definitively underrated. Chicks here are damn fine and I've been to Germany, Poland, CR, Slovakia and Russia.

Day 30:

Wake up, pack and head on out. Reflect on the city and decide we will never be back, perhaps maybe another city that hasn't been overrun by tourists. Tallinn may be wonderful for daygame, but nighttime is a different world.

Therein concludes my trip. It was pretty damn good on the bang scale (8 bangs in 29 nights) and I had a lot of fun. But currently I'm sick as a dog pounding every vitamin and cups of tea in sight. Not sure if my body can handle another bang voyage like this. We will see.

In a day or two or when I can get around to it, I will try to go into detail about costs and thoughts like I did here. I am very curious myself how much this month cost me, and how Buda will compare both objectively based on numbers and subjectively based on my own thoughts, though I've made no secret about the latter.

As always, AWESOME repoting from Slubu!!! Your posts are always super informative and very well written.

I won't go into as much detail as my Russia/Ukraine breakdown from last year, but this is always both fun and informative:

The Numbers

The Cities and Duration:
Budapest - Two Weeks.
Warsaw - Three Nights.
Polish Wedding - Two Nights.
Tallinn - 10 nights.

Looks:
I'm 5'11, 160-165lbs, look pretty skinny. White, light brown hair, green eyes. I've had people tell me I look like Macklemore. I wouldn't say I fully agree but enough people have told me that so there must be something to it.

Total Nights Taken Off:
A night off means no drinking. That was zero. Semi nights off where a girl slept over and I did not go out, that was three. So I went out 26 out of 29 nights. All three staying in nights were in Budapest.

Total Bangs:
One of the more important stats...

Budapest - 4
Warsaw - 1
Polish Wedding - 1
Tallinn - 2

So total of 8 new bangs.

Speed of Bangs:
As a disclaimer, despite what the statistics show I still think Hungarians are the sluttiest for a number of reasons.

Budapest - 1st date, 1st date, 1st date, 1st date (notice a trend?)
Warsaw - ONS
Polish Wedding - ONS
Tallinn - ONS, ONS

Quality of Bangs:
As subjective as it gets obviously, but I will attempt to use the Tuthmosis scale. If I say 23 F(7)/B(8), that means she was 23, 7 face, 8 body.

Budapest - 27 F(6)/B(6); 24F(7)/B(7); 19F(7.5)/B(7.5); 24 F(8)/B(8)
Warsaw - 21 F(6)/B(6)
Polish Wedding - 30 F(7)/B(7)
Tallinn - 18 F(7.5)/B(7); 20 F(7.5)/B(8)

Comparisons

Nightlife:
Budapest is the winner. Simply based on Szimpla, you can have a good night any night of the week. Young drunk tourist girls changing nightly. As for the locals, many many good parties almost every night of the week. Just be weary of the Buda Bitch Shield and have tough skin. Warsaw was pretty good.

I would rather be celibate than go through Tallinn aka the Hunger Games again. On the surface, you look at my bang ratings and say to yourself "the highest average quality and the youngest...so what's wrong?" Even though I would like to say my two bangs were due largely to my skill/game, a lot has to do with luck. I knew what to do when given the luck, but meeting a random Russian on the street and banging a girl in the bathroom who was apparently super down and horny has to be part luck. The rest of the time I was battling off hoards of thirsty foreign cock for the limited pussy that is Tallinn.

English:
Winner - Tallinn. Everyone spoke English there.

Approachability:
Winner - Tallinn. At least the Estonian girls there. Almost all were receptive but it was just fool's gold as more times than not they either had a boyfriend or you got the Estonian Switch later on. In Warsaw I was eyefucked the most out of anywhere. Budapest is by far the least approachable city of this trip, and maybe of anywhere I've ever been to. Girls there are straight mean and cold at times.

Best Sex:
Winner - Hungarians love sex it's ridiculous. And blowjobs. And bisexuality. I've never experienced such a thing. A close runner up were the two bangs in Estonia but they were of the Russian side, and as I mentioned last year Russians are crazy in bed.

Best Looking Girls:
Budapest by far. The girls there have great faces, and the biggest tit to waist ratio I think I've ever seen. This is not to say the biggest tits, but when you factor in their waists at times it was absurd. The Russians in Tallinn would be second.

Cost

This was my most interesting analysis. I wanted to know how much each city would cost to live in per month, compared to my costs in NYC. All numbers include housing, utilities, food, drink, going out, transport within the city, dates, everything. The only thing not included are costs to travel between cities and/or the US, because I'm trying to gauge my living costs in the city.

Budapest - All said and done, it cost me $1260 for two weeks exactly. If we adjust for monthly cost for housing, I can do basically whatever the hell I want and go out almost every night for $2k/month.

Poland - This one is a bit more complicated because of the wedding, but I spent about $400 for my three nights in Warsaw. The wedding was basically taken care of so I can't count those nights.

Tallinn - All said and done on this, it cost me $1825 for ten nights.

Roosh's video regarding how much he makes and relative wealth really hit me. Especially since I'm about 90% location independent, meaning I only have to be in the US maybe a month of the year total. Take it one step further and that essentially means that my income is not variable, but my costs are.

So how does this compare to where I am currently living - New York City - where I stand by the comment that it is the best city in the USA?

I made no secret of how much I loved Budapest. I got 4 bangs in two weeks, basically had a threesome, met the Disney princess, had girls cooking for me and bringing me presents, and lived like a king for relatively no money. I needed to know how much I am spending in Manhattan. It is pretty good here in NYC (in fact last night just walking on the street I saw a girl that blew every girl I saw on this trip out of the water), but personally I pulled hotter and younger abroad. I took a random 30 day period and put in all my expenses and costs including housing, intercity transport, food, booze, going out basically everything. The total came out to...

$4669/month

That's a big difference. And I go out less in NYC than in Budapest, so if we matched how much we went out the difference would be greater. I banged 4 girls in NYC that month, two of which would be regulated to booty calls, two of which I would introduce to friends and only one of those that I would do a mini-relationship with..maybe. So compare that to 2k/month in Budapest for an even more extravagant lifestyle. It makes you think about things a lot. I want to dismiss NYC as not worth it, and was ready to last night typing this first draft. But then I had to leave for dinner and walking around the city there are just hoards of attractive girls around, tons of nightlife places every night of the week, and as gay as it sounds there is this indescribably energy the city has that I have yet seen duplicated anywhere including Moscow. But worth a monthly net loss of $2600 when I can have better in Budapest, or really any relatively cheap EE city? Unlikely.

I love these trips and want to say it is helping me get a clearer understanding of where I want to end up, what I want to do, and all those other trite questions we love to ask ourselves. After my 2012 trip I was dead set on Kiev, made a promise to myself to go back and starting learning Russian. After my 2013 trip I was dead set on Moscow, I started looking up jobs there as a lawyer. After I moved to NYC I was dead set on that being my base, I even signed a lease for an apartment - the first time I was committed since I bought a condo in 2006. After this 2014 trip I want to live in Buda for long term.

On the surface it looks like I can't make up my mind. But I think what I'm realizing is that either on a larger scale as men, or on the smaller scale that is myself, change every once in a while is needed. Even looking back on this trip, despite my love of Buda when I went to that Russian club in Tallinn everything I loved about Russia and its girls came rushing back to me. Whatever it ends up being, it's a fun ride and happy to share it with like minded men like yourselves. Until next time gents.

Once again a good read and great thread - well done sir! Your writing style is really enjoyable to read and these 'end of the adventure' summaries are really great too. Having been out with you in Moscow I know your game reaonably well and it's good to see it work in various other locations and to also see you doing some day game too (I can only imagine that CR is a great guide in that regard). Gotta say I'm still amazed at your stamina and ability to drink every night, go hard & never give up.

By the way, I was purposely not reading your thread for a few weeks given your constant success and my lackluster performance here in Kiev - man I was really lagging behind bigtime! But now I'm +3 and my mojo is back!! In any case, nice work & can't wait to read about your next trip.

Yeah for food, Estonia > Sweden/Finland/Norway during the course of this trip.

Post: #209

Ha. I would like to hear what you guys find different between the food in Estonia,Finland,Sweden and Noway.

Prices I'd say Estonia for the elk, Norway for the whale, Finland for the music.

I remember Finland involved lots of those rice pies and cloudberry jam spread on rye. Felt like Tom Bombadil everytime I ate. And that cheese and cloudberry snack, man if I had that as a kid.

I don't understand how you can be a litigation lawyer (and moreover, a partner) yet be 90% location independent? Especially if you are a Californian licensed lawyer in NYC... (I take it you must have passed another bar previously?).

If this is better suited to PM I can shoot you a message.

And as always, thanks for dropping such a great report. Studying for the bar has been insanely hectic so this thread has provided me with a lot of entertainment!

No need for PM, it's pretty simple. 1) I'm my own boss, and 2) I'm good at what I do. Most of litigation does not require your actual attendance at court. So there is no reason for me to be anywhere near the court when most of my work is writing or speaking with clients. When it does necessitate Court (i.e. trial or a very important hearing that I need to argue), I will fly back for that purpose. Everything else can be handled remotely or my partner/another attorney I trust will take care of it (i.e. depositions, meeting clients, etc.)

Was Szimpla the only good club that you found that were open all days of the week? Where in Budapest provides the absolute best logistics in your opinion?

Post: #216

Estonia use to be better but the influx of tons of foreign guys looking for pussy has made the girls very much aware of this. Unless you live there, you are going to be pegged as a sex tourist basically and Estonian girls have a tremendous degree of self-control even when drunk. Hungarian girls are best sexually in Europe. I consider them the European Brazilians. A special type of girl are the mixed ones, especially the Russian mixes: half Russian / half something else.

please Slubu.
stop talking about Budapest like it's a great city. it's a wasteland.the people there are extremely rude on top of being ugly. all the girls are basic as fuck. the night life is horrible everything closes at midnight.
I've heard of local prostitutes beating locals and tourists for no reason.
I was in an altercation twice..once because a guy doesn't like my sunglasses.
and the second time over a pair of socks


the city is also really spread out.it's impossible to have good logistics here.
it's also really expensive.
the corruption in the city doesn't help.if you don't speak Hungarian..you'll probably be ripped off by at least one police officer. they pretty much stand at the corners of every street where there is a bar, looking for tourist.
now that the Ryan air hub there is gone it's impossible to get into the country because travel is so expensive.

did I mention it's 500 dollars for a thirty day, one entry visa?
the Muslims controlled Budapest for 500 years in the past and their culture still bears the conservative Muslim attitude.
unless you have upwards of 2k a week top throw down. your experience in Budapest will be sub par.

I really think everyone should just skip Budapest..take it off your radar.it's not worth it.
places like Krakow are ten times better..hell.I honestly had more fun in Antalya Turkey than Budapest.

Once you add plane and train tickets the cost increases expotentially.Actually the most expenses in these places have to do with tickets.
You also lose income when you travel.In the West you can make on average 100 euro per day so every day you take off to travel means 100 euro out of your pocket.

Not sure if this would apply to you and didn't see it mentioned, but if you're out of the USA for 330+ days a year, you'd also get something like your first $100,000 income tax-free.
