I'll be staying near Arcadia. Will probably venture out to Deribasovskaya a few times, but I don't think i'm going to move there unless Arcadia really starts to suck and everything there shuts down.
What's with the taxis in Odessa btw, is there something like Uber there or a local equivalent?
Another question is about clothes. I don't know if i should bring a blazer to hit the clubs, may be overkill. Will probably bring a leather jacket in case it gets colder. Also nice casual clothes and beach wear. Is it a good plan or should it suit up?
Use uklon app, it works well in any major city of Ukraine. If you set it up well (save favourite locations) it can be few minutes between you picking up your phone and you already sitting in a car, like having a personal driver for 2$ a day
Ask girls for the cheap taxi numbers as market is very flexible. On every visit to Odessa I find that prices change. Also different companies are better for different parts of Odessa.
I had a mistake once of arriving to Odessa beginning of September and getting apartment in Arcadia. The area felt like a necropolis.
I never wore a blazer in Odessa. It might look strange in a beach club.
Thanks Vinny.
About Arcadia. Thing is, I already booked a place there, so I either have to cancel/change the booking now or pay for it regardless. I'm only in Odessa until Sept 3, so I hope Arcadia doesn't get empty until then. If it does, i'll just be taking a taxi to the center and back.
Going to a city (Odessa) with so many (hundreds of thousands probably) beautiful local women,... and gaming in
tourist-trap Arcadia, should be for non-Russian speakers (or a one-shot thing for curious newcomers, like I did, but just once or twice).
I mean, if you speak Russian, game at the (many other, authentic) real-local-people beaches, or at various locations within the city (not limiting yourself to the, tourist-trap also -though genuinely beautiful-, center)
Anyway, it is more than that, bear with me: if one is fluent in Russian (like apparently
Brodiaga is), one should go to 2d tier Russia (Moscow if very wealthy) - (or, less reasonable but not bad option: Kiev or 2d tier Ukraine).
My point being, is someone is a perfect Russian speaker (but not millionaire), is there any better, more intelligent option, than second-tier Russia? Unless one has no time for getting a Russian visa, of course, and then, Kiev dwarfs Odessa (for gaming options).
