"Gary, Indiana" of the FSU, but the women are oblivious to Dante's Inferno all around them and just as hot as anywhere else. Hvae you ever been to Volgograd?

Nope, but I've been to Gary and I bet the women in Odessa and Volgograd are waaaaaaay hotter than the women of Gary.

Way hotter.

The BEACHES in Odessa are filthy! Do not plan on swimming there. Terrible. No kidding. That must be what she meant.

It's been confirmed...she meant Odessa had "dirty beaches". The first time I heard her say "beeshes" she was talking about some women standing outside a hotel/night club in Minsk...so I wasn't sure on that one until last night.

This woman KNOWS her beaches! There are good beaches in Crimea and in the Sea of Azov...and in the Black Sea...in Turkey. But around Odessa is awful.

In Donetsk they made a really nice "River Walk" area and there are some very nice parks around, but the river (Kamilus) is horribly polluted and you can't swim there. Shame.

Agreed. Turkey is great. I have never gone to a beach(?) near Odessa, but I understand that it is like sunbathing near an open sewer.

As an aside, and given we're already way off original topic (flowers) as usual, my ex wife and son just recently got back from 15 days in Turkey. They spent Xmas and new year's over there with 6 days in Istanbul and the rest out touring the rocks and ruins in places I can't spell or pronounce.

They loved Turkey and said the Turkish people were very friendly and helpful. They actually lived with the locals, forgoing hotels for rooms with Turkish folks. I would not have guessed the people would be so kind to Americans. And my ex had almost no problems with aggressive men, but then, her days of being a "hottie" are over although she's still attractive. And she was with my grad student son, so maybe that helped. According to my ex, one thing that has changed is the cost to tour Turkey...not cheap anymore. Prices are up...maybe the weak dollar or the global economy thing. But compared to Russia it's still a bargain I'm sure.

My Russia wife went there some years ago, to the beach area, and every man was after her...even the hotel help! Nevertheless, she still loved her vacation there as well.

For myself, I have zero interest in visiting Turkey. I'd prefer a 4-star hotel in downtown Paris...and I can still meet lots of Turkish people there too!

Odessa's "best" beach was in easy walking distance to my flat. It was terrible. I could tolerate to sit on benches just off the beach and there was a good restaraunt there I used to go to often. If you spread out a blanket in the sand the sand smells like...well, Alla would say "Kahki", if you get my drift. Very few people swim and not many sunbathe. There was a place there to rent boats, small wood rowboats and people rented them for fishing (ackkkkk!) It is right near the park with the Obolisk monument to sailors in WW2.

One of Alla's friends that has graduated a year ahead of her, is now teaching English in Turkey. Istanbul. She is a very attractive young blonde woman (go figure!) and has been told that she should not go to the city without an escort. The Turkish men seem to lose all control over blond attractive women and they consider FSU women to be "sluts" and "easy".

Turkey is not my favorite place on earth but they have nice beaches, it is relatively cheap to visit and it was easy for FSU citizens to go to.

I think on page 33 were are way past the original topic.

F**k! 2:00am Eastern time is 10:00pm Alaska time...which means it was on "last night" for us here. I just realized that when I didn't see it on the channel guide just now. OK...I'm stupid.

But how can we be sure it would be about FSU women, it could be about ...oh, NM.
