Anybody up for a trip to Odessa in August?
« on: July 13, 2010, 01:17:51 PM »
Guys.....

Spoke to Manny who gave me his permission to lobby this.

I have just come back home to the UK 1½ months ago after a marathon drive around Ukraine of about 3400 km in 5 days. I met this fellow from an agency in Odessa who seems to be a decent guy. He just now sent me this email below of here inviting me to a social in Odessa in August.

I am tired of going to Ukraine alone so I was wondering if any of you guys would care to join up and make our own little trip with the social added in as an additional bonus.

Here is the email I received and I have also posted the photos that were attached to the email.

Dear gentlemen!

Odessa city is waiting for you. Do not lose the greatest opportunity to attend the unforgettable special event, which is meant to help men from other countries to meet Odessa's ladies... We offer you to enjoy the special atmosphere of Odessa's hospitality, spend your time in a company of beautiful ladies... and who knows, maybe even to meet a love of your life...
The Party will take place at one of the most beautiful beaches of Odessa, at the Black Sea shore. You will get a chance to enjoy romantic atmosphere and nice music at our special event, high level service and to get memorable moments that you will never forget...As you will be surrounded by over 100 beautiful, single, english-speaking, charming ladies from Odessa, Ukraine!
Take this chance! Waiting for you on the 17th of August, starting at 19:00! (I was told the fee is USD 250 but I think we might be able to negotiate the fee if we are more guys) You can get more info about the party by writing back to us at: I will provide you with the email address if you should be interested.

We also provide accommodation and transfer from the airport in case you need.

Pictures of the hosting place are included in this letter.


Best regards,

Odessa XXXXX

Yes.

Whatever Rapidshare is I don't think I like it. Anyway to see the pics without registering at this site?

eldanes,

As for the general concept, I will be in the country on that date, but couldn't say just yet if I'll be in Odessa. Depends how things go in Sumy and Mariupol, if badly, it might be a plan.

I've always enjoyed sharing a dram with a Scot.

I might be wrong -- but I think Eldanes is Danish. Dunno why he is in Scotland....... must be money.  :nod:

Rapidshare: Yes, it is a pain. Free users can only view a pic every 15 mins from what I can see.

Interesting....I figured as much until I saw he was in Glasgow.

I don't think I've been drinking with any Danes.  :drunk:

BTW and OT Manny, RBG is very well done. Invaluable and well written. Kudos to you and your lovely wife.

Hi guys:

Rapidshare..... If anybody has a better way to upload the photos that were sent to me please let me know. I usually don't need to upload photos on storage space hence my ignorance (and I did actually search google for such sites and came up with rubbish hits).
However, When you click on the link and are taken to the Rapidshare page click on the bottom Free user which takes you to a new page where you chose download and that should download the photo in question.

macmui: As indicated by Manny I am a fake Scot. I am Danish but have been living here in Scotland for almost 7 years. I am stationed as a part of my job with IBM tech support on midrange servers (Not just IBM products but I also support HP, Compaq and Dell) .

Manny: If it was the money I would have stayed in Denmark. Lenovo Denmark currently pay me 20 quid an hour to support Lenovo PC products in my free time. However, the reason why I moved from Denmark is the Danish immigration policy, the perception Danes have that they know everything better and think they have the best society in the world and they can’t comprehend why any Dane would want to move from Denmark. Danes are xenophobic.

chelseaboy and AvHdB: I have not got more information than what was in the email. I will contact you as well as macmui to find out what we actually can do and want to do.

I have added the photos to here. Though not sure why anyone who have no intentions of joining would like to see the photos. They are basically just photos of the venue. Not very exiting in my humble opinion.

Chris;

I take your question is on behalf of the remaining unmarried men as I believe you are happily married. If not...... I hope for you that your current wife does not read these pages. Otherwise you might find yourself divorced very soon.

Well, I don't know if all 100 ladies are marriage minded and not just there for the liquid and canapes. Mind you I am not the person organizing the event. But I was told that if I get permission from the moderator I can publish the email address of the agencies who arrange the event.
I was told this was an event arranged by three Odessa agencies. Odessa Ladies, Kassandra and a newer agency which I do not remember the name of (I was told this new agency has quite a portfolio of ladies - which does not make much sense to me as building a stable portfolio of ladies takes time)

I also asked if one could invite ladies to the event on ones own merit. I was told absolutely, no problem! And there would be no extra charge for the additional head.
I asked if one could bring his own terp (we do not trust an agency terp, do we?) and again I was told: absolutely no problem.

I asked what the fee covered. Was told all the drinks you want and which are available, no additional expense for ladies drinks i.e no picolo champagne etc. Snacks available, music, entertainment etc.

If you guys have any more questions perhaps you could Pm me me and I could give you the email address of the people organising the event.

I am just looking for someone what want to join me. I am not going to Ukraine alone any more. It's beginning to become rather boring when lady after lady is just a plain agency Muppet.

Many thanks,
El danes

Yes of course it was, and yes I am very happily married thanks, my wife knows she can trust me so no problem there. Its just for any other guys, Odessa has somewhat of a reputation for this type of event and not all that positive,  :-X I am sure you have heard.

Слава Україні
