Saturday night disco Kiev

[topofthekey]

Yea I have to agree with the folks defending these photos. Does anyone here feel sorry for Paris Hilton? If you wear a micro skirt with no panties and your "business" ends up all over the Net does anyone feel sorry for you?

I do get annoyed with people that misrepresent themselves or worse admit they are loser porn addicted nutjobs and continue to post their crap. But these are just nightclub photos. And you can't assume anything about all these girls either. They could be anything. Sometimes even your book worms like to dress a little slutty and go out with the girls and party on occasion. The only way you know a girl is if you take the time to get know her. Night club pictures sans nudity are fair game.

Post More of them!  :evil:

What is wrong with a few of Jacks "Come-for-a-trip-with-me-and-this-is-what-you'll-see" photos? If the prudes can't cope with some tits-n-arse then they'd best not go clubbing out in the wild East.

Absolutely nothing if so prefaced as such and posted in the correct section of the board for commercial providers.  IMHO it's not at all about prudes.. for all I care they can be nude. Consent is another topic being discussed elsewhere.

This is not so typical of what I've seen of young RW in clubs across USA whether it be in Philly, Pittsburg, Miami, NYC or San Diego. The many younger FSU girls I have seen are rather shy compared to these in the photo's.

M.

Wow.  Shy?  Really?  This is far from my experience of being around Russian or Ukrainian women (of any age).  Once the music starts playing, there must be an internal switch inside a RW's head that flips and turns them into total seductresses.  RW dance 10 times sexier than AW IMO.  AW look to Carmen Electra to teach them how to pole dance, whereas RW seem to be born with the skills.

Just for clarification, I do not see this as a negative trait in any way.  It is but another reason to seek out RW.

Dale, Seriously. Buy your wife a new coffee maker with a built in timer. I have a Kitchen Aid with that feature, cost less than $100  SB

A chef at a major NY restaurant once told me that coffee should be served within ten minutes of brewing.  After that,  the coffee is old.

Since then, I cue my coffee before I go to bed, but brew it when I awake.  He is right; nothing beats fresh brewed coffee.

BC: If there is a correct section for commercial providers (Sorry, I haven't noticed it, maybe because I am not that interested in what they might have to offer) then perhaps relocation of the photos or thread is the way to go? Nevertheless, I think most everyone knows Jack provides a commercial service and as such will advertise it with fetching photos from time to time. IIRC he's done that before and as such I've never found it a problem. I understand your point about text prefacing, however, Jack has commercial member jammed under his profile and then posts some club photos? Blind Freddy could go figure..........................IIRC, it's called bait.

Simoni, Don't forget the coffee grinder too. Only fresh beans  At Starbucks they leave the coffee on for 30 minutes before they toss it away. I like your 10 min better 

Speaking of good coffee, in Kyiv I can recommend Double Coffee(a Baltci owned chain), Reprisa and Illy Coffee at Arena Citi. In Odessa, nothing beats coffe at Steakhouse on Deribaskoya. SB

Simoni, Don't forget the coffee grinder too.

I don't think a home grinder can match the evenness of industrial grinders.

When I was a kid, coffee was mostly sold as beans. I remember our drogherie with several glass bins holding the different qualities, labelled with their different prices. One could ask for the purchased beans to be ground on the spot at no extra cost, and the shop attendant/keeper would oblige if not too busy otherwise, in which case it was "back to the old grind" (the macinacaffé at home), with the aroma of freshly ground coffee spreading around the room a compensation for one's labour .

[Shadow]

Sanro you underestimate modern technology of coffee making.
Since I completed my kitchen I am using a fully-automated coffe maker that will make excellent coffee from beans, and settings can be adjusted to taste regarding graining and strongness.
While priced at a level that one could buy 50 or more basic machines, the taste of fresh coffee makes up for it (and the fact that its easy to make just one cup).

[Simoni]

Never mind the coffee. I'd buy that machine just for its looks!   LOL

I thought so too - then took a look for the pricing. Wow! $3000 for a coffee maker. Yikes   :hairraising:

Had it made BAD coffee for its $3,000 price, you would have asked your government to declare war on Germany .

For THAT amount of money, I hope it can also play any national anthem of choice, wash the occasional dirty dish or shirt, and vacuum-clean your kitchen when NOT grinding/making coffee .

[Misha]

For less than $10 you can get a stovetop espresso coffee maker that makes an excellent coffee. This photo courtesy of the Stokes store site in Canada. Throw in an extra $5 and you can get a hand milk frother to make lattes.

PS: You can get them without the cow pattern Mine is simply red.

[wendaaaal]

This (and some course ground coffee from the Venezuelan place up the street) are my favorite FSU travel buddies...

Speaking of coffee - is anyone else aware of DazBog coffee? The stuff is fantastic, and is a company created by a Russian guy.

I opened this thread in the hope of more girly photos and I find idle chatter about coffee.

Shadow, I trust you are using only Kopi Luwak beans for such a fine machine ($100/200g).

Misha, the cow pattern is perplexing.   This is Sandro's caffettiere Moka.  It works very well.  I recall an Italian engineer visting my company in the 1970s.  He spoke little English, yet his shocked expression revealed his disgust with his first American coffee when he could see his spoon at the bottom of his coffee cup!  The next day he brought his Moka pot to the office.  He shared a cup with me, and I have been hooked ever since. 

The finest cup of coffee in my life was served by a coffee shop near McDonald's in the center of Kiev.  Ethiopian beans (where coffee originated over 1000 years ago), freshly roasted, and ground before my eyes before going in the large steam espresso machine.  Glorious.

Many Russians use the Turkish coffee pot that makes a surprisingly delicious brew if one likes strong coffee.  My wife uses it frequently but almost always lets it spill over.  Messy but part of the price of admission. 

[ECOCKS]

To each, their own.

The problem I have with coffee is my tendency to addiction.

I would love to taste these fine dark, rich, aromatic brews you present so tantalizingly, BUT since I drink around 6-7 cups per day (AVERAGE) I would be hospitalized in a week. Real cups mind you, 12 - 16 oz. minimum.  Some days 10+.  So, yes, the McDonalds crew at Kreshatyk is well-used to my glib, "Dobre den, aydin Americano, bolshoi, bez moloko, Bon Aqua bez gaza, pajohlsta."  That is about the most Russian I can string together to fit the most common Russian speaking situation I get into.

To be honest, it started as a joke when looking for building the kitchen. Then it became a 'well I will be broke anyway' part of the list.
When getting the house ready a lot of cash was invested in the basic parts, kitchen, floors, bathrooms,walls. These are the parts that keep the value up over the years.
And the 25% discount on all appliances (and kitchen materials) helped to soften the pain.

ECOX, if you got used to decent coffee, you'd also got used to much smaller cups that give you the about same amount of caffeine in a more concentrated brew . They prefer a rather strong brew in Sicily, and I remember having to order caffé doppio in Palermo bars because their regular serving was about 1/2 inch deep .

I recall an Italian engineer visting my company in the 1970s... his shocked expression revealed his disgust with his first American coffee when he could see his spoon at the bottom of his coffee cup!  The next day he brought his Moka pot to the office. 

I did the same when assigned for 2 months to Boca Raton in 1991 and Austin in 1997, carrying along a supply of Illy cans. I had been forewarned by my previous London experience as to what I could expect from the savage Anglo-Saxon locals .

Different tastes for sure :-)  Now I know why they serve the tiny little cups of strong syrup they call coffee in Europe.  That is why I always ask for "American" coffee!.   It is still so strong when it arrives.  I shudder at what I would have got had I just asked for coffee

Hang on. This is our education.   Next time a girl says "coffee, tea or me?" we will know to take the coffee...life's greatest pleasure    LOL

Which means you have to let it stand longer than usual to allow the powder to settle to the bottom of the cup. I like the occasional Turkish/Greek/Egyptian cardamon-flavoured coffee .

You got to admit we got some pretty diverse topics.  Dancing, recipe sharing, flowers, child rearing, clothing.  Might need to change it to Discussions Russian Women have forum soon.

Well, we do have another thread entitled why RW prefer WM (or something like that). Presumably our knowing our way around a kitchen, diapers and how to make a good coffee can be added to the list LOL.

Yes, indeed!  LOTS of neat stuff here :-)
