Tour Advisory
Some introduction services will send you alone into the great unknown to meet only a few ladies. You will be put into an apartment, exposed to great danger, inconvenience, and periods of isolation. This is not a trip! It's hit or miss at that point. At best, your local hosts will be grossly incompetent. If at all possible, please go within the safety and convenience of a trip where you will meet far more quality ladies.
Trips require a great deal of experience to perfect, and RU Ladys is the only trip company with a track record. We have plenty of references. Before you go on any trip, make sure you check references! European Connections has never canceled a trip and never will!
Travel Suggestions For Russia
Money: There is no need to take most of your money in cash. If it is necessary for you, then take only bills with a series date of 2000 or later, as older bills may be acknowledged as invalid. Also Russians will not accept torn, faded, or worn bills or bills with writing on them! Be ready to spend approximately $40.00 - $60.00 per day average. ATM Machines are almost everywhere so you can always use your credit card. Better to contact your credit card company and to notify them that you are planning to travel outside the country. Also you can use traveler's checks. Another one variant is to pre send cash to yourself prior to your trip with Western Union.
Your photos: Here are some tips concerned with photos. We will advise you to have a good photograph taken of yourself in preparation for meeting Russian Ladies. Of course better to have many copies (min 1 for each lady you are going meet) made in about 3.5"w by 5"h format.
On the back of the photo print your contact information (or use labels). Then you can be sure that ladies will remember who you are several days or weeks in the FUTURE. You can also take pictures of the ladies you have met and are interested in. For this reason take a cam plenty of film or just digital cam with you. You will not remember all the ladies you have met, especially the ones you have met on earlier days. Always think about future. May be someday you will really want to marry one of those ladies and then you'll have to prove in the wife Visa / Immigration application process that you did in fact meet her in Russia. For this reason ask your interpreter to take a picture of both you and your ladies. one on one meeting's, also have the ladies write in your note pad in both English and Russian her name, address, and home telephone number (Be Discreet; Don't have her write her information under the info retrieved from ladies you met previous to her).
Wheather: Krasnodar weather is extremely unpredictable. It can get very cold and then very hot in the middle of the summer. So take umbrella and warm clothing. Spring and Fall are typically cool to cold, so prepare accordingly. A comfortable pair of sneakers and jeans will be more useful then expensive watch and expensive or flashy jewelry. Suggested gift items for Russian ladies: silk scarves, hand lotions, small cosmetic items, costume jewelry, perfume, flowers, sweets, stuffed animals, or souvenirs.
Medicaments: One can find almost all medicaments (like aspirin, Tylenol, cough syrup, Alka Seltzer, antacid, anti-diarrhea compound, laxatives, throat lozenges, allergy medications, first aid cream) in a "Russian drug store". Better not to take them to your native country, but if you need them then remember the main thing: keep all medicines in their original bottles and make sure prescription medicine is labeled as such. This will avoid problems at Russian Customs. Take toiletries. If you wear glasses or contacts, take a spare pair in your hand carried luggage.
Luggage: In your hand carried luggage, pack a living essentials (e.g. enough clothes and toiletries to last a couple of days (include on nice outfit to wear to 1st social) in case your luggage is misrouted. This especially occurs if you will be connecting through more than one city before your arrival. Airlines are usually good about getting your luggage delivered to your hotel the next day if it does occur to you. But, don't get caught unprepared.
Documents: Make certain that you have photocopies of all your documents before you leave for Russia. Carry them separately. Check your Visa and make sure the entry date coincides with the actual date of your arrival. Contact your travel agent immediately, if you have any questions. Do not drink alcohol with people you do not know. No exceptions. If you are with a lady have her do the talking with the taxi driver to specify the destination and set a price.
Electricity:: Standard European voltage of 220 volts, 50 cycles and non standard European sockets which only accept the plugs which have two angle pins are in Russia in use. You will need voltage converters and plug adapters. Hair dryers, electric shavers and a travel iron should be purchased with international conversion capability. Check your local hardware store, airport or travel store to purchase and get more information on supplies.
If you should become "lost": First of all acquire a map of the bus system (available everywhere) as well as city map. If you should become "lost", most Krasnodar citizens are friendly and will eagerly help you. If you do have a map, you can indicate to them that you are lost, you can point on the map to where you want to go, have them point to your current location, and then have them point you in the right direction. Do not go sight-seeing alone. You are a tourist in a foreign city, and vulnerable because you are unfamiliar with the language and the local customs. Almost all of the ladies you meet will be honored if you ask them to be your guide to the sights. It will be as exciting an adventure for them as it will be for you.
Cameras, film, and batteries. As mentioned earlier, take a camera with enough film for sixty or so pictures, for use as described. If you plan on doing any sight seeing at all, an inexpensive, good quality, 35MM, auto-focus, "point and shoot" type camera is recommended. Take plenty of film, as high speed (ASA-400, ASA-200). It is recommended that you do not take big, bulky, expensive, professional camera equipment unless you are a professional photographer going to Russia for that purpose only. Take calculator which is helpful in calculating currency exchange and bills.
Medical travel insurance: There are now several travel insurance companies offering this service to travelers going to Russia. It is not obligatory, but we will recommend you to use their services. This type of insurance provides protection to you in the event of a major illness, injury, or death while overseas. The cost of this insurance is between $3.00 and $4.00 per day. Make sure of that this insurance covers the cost of emergency evacuation from the foreign country back to your home country, medical treatment while in a foreign country, physician referrals, prescription purchase and delivery, expatriation of remains in the event of death, and more. Check with your current health insurance carrier to understand the nature and extent of the coverage they extend to you as a policyholder traveling to Russia.
Your health insurance provider may offer you a rider on your current coverage for an additional fee or you may purchase this coverage separately, if they do not cover you for travel to Russia. This is the list of recommended companies. No one of the following companies is recommended over another, all of the following are reliable travel insurance providers:
International SOS Assistance, 800-523-8930.
Travel Assistance International, 800-821-2828.
Traveler's Emergency Network, 800-275-4836.
Medix Insurance Services, 800-732-5309.
Wallach & Co., 800-237-8615.
If you get into trouble, call the local police. The law in Russia does not like when the locals "mess" with the tourists.
Even if you are going to hire fulltime interpreter, better to learn several words in Russian. You will surely make good impression upon the people you will contact with (the ladies and as well as others). They will be impressed and honored that you took the time and made the effort to learn some of their language. Russian is a difficult language to master and any attempt you make will be respected. You can buy a small phrase-book. Moreover, there is plenty of sites on the web which you can download simple russian.
Travel Alone?
Some companies will introduce you to the ladies on their site, when you have found the way to their offices. If you have not traveled to Russia before, we suggest a Trip Package. This way your safety is assured and our staff will be more than happy to help you with all your requests when in the city. By the way, never allow yourself to be put into an apartment!! The office will introduce you to ladies usually scheduled 1 hour apart. Even if you were to rudely and summarily dismiss a lady, after only a few minutes, you would only have to wait 1 hour to your next meeting.
It would not be nice to have ladies waiting in line. What would you do if were interested in the lady you were talking to? Send her home or send the other lady home? At best, without late arrivals and no-shows, you should meet maximum six ladies & day. Remember, on our trips you don't select a Wife in 5 minutes. You don't even have to get engaged! You simply select from your ladies you have met, who you want to get to know and, from those, the one or two that remain, start to choose.
"One man private tours", "One man private tours" utilize the Wife services of only one agency in one city. RU Ladys is situated in the big city (the population of Krasnodar is about 1,000,000 people) of Russia, plus our own vast network of ladies, increasing exposure 100-fold! How is it possible to invite 550-1,000 ladies to meet one man? Please, don't be misled. The advantages of a European Connections group tour are overwhelming. Look on our trips page, we offer many levels of trips One should suit you just fine.
If you are going to invest so much time, energy and money, at least give yourself a chance and take a one on one meeting trip. Even a poorly planned and managed trip is better than traveling alone.
