		<title>RE: traveling to Kiev</title>
		<description>[size=200][b]What is a Genuine Russian Woman?[/b][/size]

I wanted to take a moment to re-visit this whole idea of what makes up a [b]?Genuine Russian Woman?.[/b] You have to understand that one of the most important ways to categorize women from a man?s perspective is to know if she is a ?Supporter? or a ?Competitor?.

When I describe things at this deeper level we can for now just completely ignore nationalities? Russian Girl, American Girl or Andromeda Galaxy Girl.. makes no difference because the fundamentals are all the same.

So, let me cut to the MOST IMPORTANT fundamental thing you need to know..

ALL WOMEN are walking Baby Making Machines?

(And if any woman you currently know wants to TRY to deny or de-emphasize this then they are completely full of big dog do do. Try to imagine you as a guy wanting to deny that you have a D*CK! It doesn?t work too well does it?)

?Supporter? Women are completely in touch with this ?baby making machinery? reality.

They understand that to make the BEST Babies requires the BEST Husbands with the BEST Loving Environment possible. When you read a common Internet agency or Dating site profile on any number of Russian girls how often have you seen the phrase, ?I want to make a happy family?. I?m willing to bet that you?ve seen this or a variation of it quite a few times. Now .. does it get any more obvious then this?

These women did NOT say..

?I want to be a liberated and sexually free woman who focuses on MY CAREER so that I can screw myself out of the most fertile years of my life and then go to an expensive pregnancy clinic covered by my health plan during my mid to late 30?s in order to try and get my older and deteriorating eggs artificially inseminated with some anonymous guy?s sperm de-thawed from a test tube.?

Do you need me to continue with this wonderful illustration? I don?t think so..

Women who are in-touch with their inner ?baby making machinery? don?t mess around my friends. They want what you want too.. Love, Stability, Understanding, Sex, Good Future and Family.. AND they are more honest about it as well.

Now this doesn?t mean that you are going to be able to Russia or the FSU and tell a girl like this right away that you love her ?so let?s get hitched and make babies now!? No but you will still need to play the game of love? And it?s there for a very good reason too. She needs to know you respect her BUT at the same time she needs to know that you are not afraid to be a leader who will keep the family ship on course come hell or high water.

I?m not going to bullsh*t you cause most of the time this is a real challenge to pull off but with time and experience you will understand why and how you can hit the right triggers to spark the right magic. 

There are women all around the world that fit this qualification of understanding their ?inner baby making machinery? but I am focusing primarily on Russian women because they not only deeply have these qualities but a big percentage of them are incredibly beautiful too!

So hopefully you get a sense for what a genuine Russian Woman is? It?s not so hard eh?

If you are around one and you feel that baby making machine speculating through her behavior towards you then that?s all you really need to know. She shows respect to herself because she honors the awesome power of that machine within her. The way she also behaves towards you as a man will also directly reflect this and it is the BEST way for you to discover what a Genuine Russian Woman is.. or isn?t..

Note: When you have a quiet moment I want you to seriously close your eyes and imagine what the woman I?m talking about looks, sounds, and feels like.. because this will help you answer this question in more ways then you can possibly imagine.

Now because we are spending lots of energy talking about motherhood and family this doesn?t mean that you or her are expected to create a kid production factory any time soon. It just means that when it does happen, having children along with her marriage to you will BE THE DEFINING moment of her life? as it should be for you guys too.

From marriage to conception to birth to raising children.. Her ability to be a woman, a mother and a wife is her ?Prime Directive?. If you as a Man truly wants to know what a Genuine Russian Woman is at her deepest level then you must ultimately walk this life long path with her since your answer will only grow more profound with time.

If you?ve ever seen the way Russian mothers take care of their kids you would completely understand what I mean. To me there is no comparision anywhere else in the world with the simple, loving and powerful motherly energy they project.. If any of you Men are a little like me.. and if you are fortunate to see and FEEL this yourself.. you will probably stand back in complete awe and realize that you are most likely witnessing one of the most beautiful and loving manifestations in all of the creation.

And you will never forget it.

		<title>Travel to Russia in 2008</title>
		<description>I had a good time both trips.  My first trip  in April lasted 30 days. I was only able to stay for 10 days the second trip in November.  There was a noticeable change in attitude towards Americans on the second trip, no thanks to former president &quot;butthead&quot; Bush.  

Money:  I took traveler&apos;s cheques the first time.  They were a pain in the rear trying to find a bank that would agree to cash them. They will charge you a fee and then you lose money again on the exchange rate.  I took cash the second time. Stopped at the ATM before leaving.  They didn&apos;t like my money because it had marks on it. I had a hard time finding a bank that would exchange the $20 bills I got from the machine at home.  Take only crisp, as new as possible $100 bills.  You can use a credit card for everything if you travel only to Moscow or St. Petersburg, but you will pay exchange rate and international useage fees with most credit card companies.  

Transportation:  Taxis are the most expensive even if you have a Russian to negotiate the fee.  A taxi to and from the airport to my destination was about $180.  Of course, that is traveling outside of Moscow.  You can get a bus for about 200 rubles or about $7.00 from Tula to Moscow.  A local &quot;line&quot; will cost you 10 rubles.  Most trolley busses are between 8 and 12 rubles.  You just have to know where it is going before you get on.  They only travel certain routes.  I didn&apos;t ride the metro in Moscow. Can&apos;t help you there.

Food:  Not much different in price from the U.S. for a decent meal. Expect to pay about 1000 rubles for dinner for two ($40).  That includes such dishes as caviar, salmon, and drinks.  Not bad really.  I hope you like mayonnaise and vinegar.  Parliament is the best vodka I ever drank. Avoid the samagoyne (moonshine).

Lodging:  I stayed at a private residence. Can&apos;t help you there either.  I heard it was outrageous though.  You won&apos;t find a Motel 6 in Moscow.

The sights: Fabulous!  Red Square, the art district, shopping centers, museums, cathedrals.  Go to them all.  Don&apos;t spend too much on the souvenirs. The most expensive item I bought was a fur cap for 1500 rubles.  It was overpriced.   Entry fees are reasonable, but you will pay extra to take photographs.

It rains a lot.  People on the street don&apos;t smile much.  They are friendly though.  Go to the countryside if possible.  It is awesome.  If your lady has a datcha, you will enjoy going there for shashlik and a relaxing time.</description>

		<description>Jagguy,

It really depends on where you live and what type of visa you want.  I got a private homestay visa by sending the invitation letter (provided by my lady), a passport photo, my passport, the application letter for my region&apos;s consulate, the application fee, and return mailing to the Russian consulate in my region.  All of the details are on the website, but it is difficult to figure out at first.</description>

		<description>Yeah, I think that is correct.  You must apply to the consulate in your home country does sound very familiar.  I have gotten two visas to Russia in 2008, but I was in the U.S. both times I applied.  That does sound familiar as though I read that somewhere at the Russian Consulate website.</description>

		<title>Russia and Israel launch visa-free travel </title>
		<description>Travelling from Russia to the Promised Land has never been easier - from September 20 those Russian citizens entering to Israel will no longer need visas. The deal was signed in March in the hope of expanding cultural and tourism ties between the two countries.
 
Its expected the number of Russian tourists will increase. Israeli Tourism Minister Rukhama Abraham says: In 2007 we received 193,000 Russian tourists. By 2009 we expect that more than 400,000.

Russians will be able to stay in Israel without a visa for 90 days, meaning they can take full advantage of the long summer and Israels beaches. But tour guides are also hoping for the more discerning cultural visitor.

A tourist from Russia is looking for something to touch his soul, to see Israels sacred places and the religious sights. But of course he won&amp;#39;t forget about normal secular life - and there are plenty of places to go, said Aleksey Zabludovsky, a tour guide.

This all makes good business sense but the visa relaxation will also help people who travel for personal reasons. Almost one fifth of Israels population comes from the former Soviet Union and theyve welcomed the news.

The reciprocal deal was signed back in March 2008. It was a big step for the two countries.

Diplomatic ties between the two countries were severed following the six-day war in 1967. Real improvement was made when former Russian president Vladimir Putin visited three years ago. Now attention is firmly focused on the future.

You&amp;#39;ll have to forgive us; cynicism is an unavoidable downside to hanging about on boards like this for far too long. 

Our suspicions might be allayed if you told us how you found this board and why you chose to post here...
