Riga - Waste of Time/Money

[Milly]

agree 100 % with monger007.

The girls from the Strip clubs hang out in some of the Bars and " invite " you to the Strip Club.. When u refuse .. the answer is.. " dont you like to see beautiful naked women.. are you gay?.". and of course to save your honour you go along...

Every club has to display prices.. usually tucked away in a corner.. Beers are 50 lats.. spirits with mixers 100 lats.. champagne.. 500 lats (

This is my trip report about Riga.

I just returned from Riga and I can honestly say I was VERY DISAPPOINTED.

There are SO MANY beautiful girls in Riga, but now that they are in the EU and NATO, the entire concept of "free sex" and almost "paid sex" does not exist there anymore. Unless you can live there for 3-6 months, don't bother even trying for free sex. It is slow torture there as you see so many hot girls, but can't do anything with them. This is a summary of how the mission unfolded:

I arrived there and was driven to my apartment. The cost of the 15 minutes taxi ride was 25 Euros. A complete rip off but at least I got there safe as it was late at night. All taxis in Riga are a complete rip off. Do not use them. Just walk. Riga is not a large place.

I quickly set up base in the apartment and then tried to call some of the massage, escort numbers in my "Riga This Night" guide in the apartment. The problem was that the telephone in the apartment only allowed for me to call select numbers (land line only). But ONE number worked for the escort site. So I called it to get a does of what Latvia had to offer. So, they told me they will send some girls over and I could pick. I waited outside and then three Russian girls walked by and said that I could pick which one. All were in the 4-6 range and not very hot. But the one brown haired Russian girl was ok and I picked her. We went up to the apartment and she said it was 60 lats ($120.00) for the hour. This is much money to pay for average quality. The sex was ok though. It entailed CBJ/FS. We did it twice in the hour and it was good, but not great. I used the service a few more times as well. It got worse each time. Waste of time and money. You can find super model quality escorts for ($900 to $500) in the book, but why would you pay that money for that!!! Just use your bloody hand!!!

NOTE: There is also a big difference between RUSSIANS in Latvia and LATVIANS. The Latvians are indifferent to foreign people going to Riga, but the Russians do not like foreigners at all. Use caution in Russian areas.

THE STRIP CLUBS IN RIGA ARE TRAPS. DO NOT GO THERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF!!!! I LOST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THERE FOR NOTHING!!!!!!

Next, I bought a phone card. I called all the numbers from www.ladylux.lv website and NONE worked. I think that website is a dead link. Again, another wasted effort.

Met some girls from MySpace in Riga. Went out with them and bought them drinks/dinner. Then they went home. Free drinks and dinner for them. That's nice........I could have done that back home.

Met some UK guys, Scotish guys, and a Norwegian. All got ripped off at the strip bars and few if any got any action from the escorts. The UK guys were especially banged up. I often found them drunk in the Irish Pub. One guy was so messed up that I found him with the door open to the shitter, passed out, pants down to his ankles!!! Funny as shit!!!!

But this shows that the party in Riga is OVER. No idea why guys go there. I cancelled my trip to Ukraine to go to Riga and now think I made a mistake. If you like LOOKING at pretty girls, drinking beer, and walking around looking a old stuff, Riga is great. But for a hard core monger, go to Thailand or Costa Rica.

Hi guys,
having a lot of experience from Riga i can tell that all writen here is absolutly true.It is very hard to find party girls as it was before few years.They think that can usk for more and more but soon nobady will go there because of that.i have visited Riga more than 40 times last 7 years but what i saw in my last visit i decided not to go there any more.
for sure there are beter places to go less money and more parties.

Well, thanks for your trip report - it saved me money and a lot of trouble, since I usually plan our annual "men

Carlo - yeah we had one proposition from a cabbie, but we were heading to fashion club so we gave it a miss. Still I think that even the cabbies would try and rip you off if your not careful. Thanks for replying anyway!

I had a similar experience last year - loads of trouble finding girls to party with - especially when going through websites
My trip was only redeemed when I went back to the old staple that works in most places - going through taxi drivers - they all carry cards for agencies in Riga and will take you to various ones (they seem to get a cut for each punter)
They aren't as bad as certain other countries for overclocking the meter and some will give out their mobile number so you can call them up for a pick up.

Hi All!

Heres a report of my trip to Riga 15/16/17/18 Sept 2006.

Now I know some of you guys have had good experiences in Riga and this is why we decided to go, but my experience is all as follows.

Got there on Friday afternoon (just us 2 guys).

Apartment (as most mongers recommended)
Found an apartment very quick in Old Town Riga
The place is called Welcome Inn - No 3 Vecpiletas just above the Indian Raja Restaurant (great food in that restaurant too!)
