Dude, you have got to be kidding. That's like 450 hours. I'll be conservative and say you make $100 an hour - you probably make 3-5 times that mixing for the top artists - that's $45,000. Even if you manage to get laid twice a day straight for 2 weeks, I don't think that poon is worth that much.

Think larger - he is learning the language - a four spoken in the world - which will stay with him forever. Even unused it is not difficult to pick it up again. It is much more valuable then poon, especially if you consider the fact that every language you learn makes it easier to learn the next language.

I hear ya but still think it's too much investment for a 2 week poonquest.

I took French for 2 years in high school and 4 years in college and I don't remember much. Total waste. Je ne peux pas le souviens sauver ma vie. I'm not even sure if I said that correctly.

Yup. anytime man, actually, you can even alternate between me and fretdancer, who also mentioned he is available to teach spanish lessons over Skype in the language thread.

The best times for me are between 1600 and 1800hrs on weekdays local Miami Time, and on weekends late mornings between 1000 - 1200hrs local Miami Time.

Now you have 2 resources....so get to it compadre!! Latinas are awaitin'

Tá bien, pero..I can't begin to imagine what the accent would sound like when a native Russian speaker spoke Spanish. hehe...buena suerte

I tried some phrases on our cleaning lady, who is Mexican, and after she corrected me a few times, she said I spoke without accent. Those hard "R" sounds in Spanish are exactly the same in Russian. I also sing some Spanish karaoke.

Genial, dime cuando tu este listo para ir a SudAmerica. Y tal vez tu sera el proximo Enrique Iglesias, hehe. FYI, there can be variations in pronounciation between certain countries from Mexico to Argentina to Spain itself.

The girls in thread look great. Anyone have any thoughts on how an good looking westernized indian guy would do in Kaunas?

[Peoloom]

I've been to Kaunas and Vilnius. Vilnius I found pretty boring. Kaunas was completely dead the night we went (Tuesday).

It's going to depend on your tastes, but I don't think I ever got the impression of my options being limited whatsoever in a city like Tallinn. Russians, Estonians, Finns, Latvians, Lithunians, and assorted other Euro chicks all over the place...I love that variety.

How long were you in Tallinn? Tallinn is a SMALL place, and there basically aren't any women from other countries here (not sure what you're talking about). You start to see the same people all the time, especially if you're going to bars.

And trust me...the girls here who go home with foreigners on one night stands go home with a LOT of foreigners on one night stands. And Estonia has some of the highest STD rates (gonorrhea) in Europe.

I found the same.. both cities mid-week are complete ghost towns.

[funlover]

Try to avoid Kaunas if you can..very dangerous town!.Has a reputation in Lithuania for being full of thugs that are racist and like to rob and use violence against foreigners. I was attacked twice there.

[Derek]

I don't find them that pretty to be honest,And their blondes are mostly fake ones... but to each one his own taste.

The more north you go in the Baltics, the better the quality.

Lithuania (by most accounts in EE) is grade better than Poland...while Riga and Tallinn are even better than Lithuania and rival Russia and Ukraine. Attitudes and level of difficulty will rise noticeably and accordingly.

Can you give us a bit more detail about your experience there? Your race, build, age, style of dress, ddi you roll with a wingman, etc? It would go a long way to help other players how to avoid the pitfalls of the place. Thanks.

If you had to choose between Riga and Tallinn, which would you pick?

The problem with a lot of small-mid sized EE cities is that nightlife usually sucks Sun to Wed and street game spots are limited. Another problem is after a couple weeks, you start to see the same people over and over. Especially if you build a routine.

Riga being the bigger city would be my choice.

[Hokie30]

Subutai, can you post street pics and not one's from clubs as that is more indicative of what a traveler would see. Also, per capita Klaipeda has the hottest women in Lithuania, so you all can skip Vilnius & Kaunas (except for the airport of course).

Btw, if you're a foreigner (especially American) you only need to learn one phrase in Lithuanian "kaip sekasi?" when you approach girls. That means "how's it going"? The girls will appreciate you for actually learning a few words of the local language so much more.

I agree with Luckystar in that Riga is great (better than Tallinn as i'm not into blondes) in the Baltics, way better than Vilnius or Tallinn. I never saw so much street potential as I did in Riga when I went there back in 2005.

90 percent of girls born since 1980s dont speak russian at all. It can help a bit in Vilnius, Klaipeda, Palanga (lots of Russian/Belorussian tourists).

And where did you get that statistic from?
In my experience pretty much all girls from the Baltics speak Russian they learn Russian in school aswell as English, also there is a very large amount of Russians living there.
