Yet another interesting excerpt from The Exile

[groovlstk]

Here's another interesting piece from The Exile. Keep in mind this was written in the late 90s and the editors, all Americans based in Moscow, never seem to have anything good to say about Ukrainian women. However, guys who are planning your first trip, take heed.

Andy and I met in Lvov, in western Ukraine, the following spring. The woman at the front desk asked us, after we checked in, if we were interested in "brides." She smiled knowingly. A crusty Soviet man in a suit straddled up to our side, squinting intently.

"Of course, we plan on meeting some beautiful brides here," we joked.

"But why go out, when you can have them bought here," the woman said knowingly.

"So you have some brides for us?" we asked.

"Only the best," she said.

"But what if we want to meet some nice girls at a disco or on the street," we suggested. "Can we bring them back?"

"But why do that?" the woman protested. "We'll bring you our girls. It's safer, they won't steal from you or poison your drink.

"No, but we want to meet regular girls, in a disco."

The old Soviet man shook his head, confused, while the woman smiled condescendingly. Her expression said, "There are no 'normal' girls in this part of the world. They're all whores."

Now there's an interesting business concept! Just like the "Brew-Through" stores here where you drive in to get your beer/kegs/t-shirts/etc. We can set up "Bride-Through" stores across the FSU. Drive in, pick your poison, pay your money, drive off to endless happiness!

Hell, with all the money spent on scammers I'm sure we could advertise this as a real alternative...

Np problem. I'll set it up next to the video store. Maybe sell some grog first so the guys won't mind how they look!

Interesting quote…

"There are no 'normal' girls in this part of the world. They're all whores."

I am sort of cynical tonight.

[Maverick Mikey]

Stirlitz would never have guessed you was a cynical guy

Probably have to be the other way 'round. Keep the women drunk so they won't see how big a loser the guy driving in is!

They should have asked the woman at the front desk to come with them .... I'm sure she would not have agreed...

presume that this was a magazine article originally?

Common, there was no legal prostitution in FSU back then and all prostitutes used to work in hotels. She bluntly was offering them "room service" 

[beattledog]

Was the "room service" a woman?
