I know there's hookers there and all that, but is it a good place to just pick up non hooker girls at the clubs without speaking the native language? Is it safe? What are do's and don'ts for these cities? Any feedback would be appreciated. We are not set on either city so any other cities you can recommend would be welcomed. I've been to Prague, Budapest, Hong Kong, Macau, Ibiza, Rio de Janeiro, Vegas, etc....So I've been wanting to hit a Russian or former Soviet country next. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
