I had a number of young ( too young ) and pretty girls fall in love with me during my trips to Belarus , Russia , and Ukraine....I thought it was my charm and stunning goods looks , but you have gone and burst my bubble now.... sob sob..!
You have to understand that for us Poles you are the best sniff of whats going on in Russia/Belarus or Ukraine. For them you are just charming English man, no problem with milicja and so on. Probably you can't realize how freedom hungry they are.
We ( Poles ) have no chance to travel there just like you We would be intimidated, harassed by milicja, threaten superstitious
And results are: in relatively free country you struggle to get a woman and over there every young chick is crazy about you ...because of visa thing and potential source of the gate to the free world. Thats the true.
