Russian Night Club Peculiarities

Please let it be known, that the following list is by no means complete. The search for the many wonderful peculiarities, experienced in Vladivostok's night clubs remains in continual motion. Lucky me!
P1. Probably my favourite. Woman/men attendance ratio is 70/30 in favour of the girls. Cover charge for the gentlemen is often cheaper, as club owners want to encourage more blokes in the door. A complete opposite to back home.
P2. Dress standards vary greatly. You can attend in just about any get-up. For the guys, anything from suits to singlets are all go. For the ladies, anything short (top and bottom), tight (again top and bottom) and of course the mandatory stilettos.
P3. The unattractive are nowhere to be seen. Was there a sign at the door? Every second person, that walks by, could easily be the next super model or pin up. A single guys heaven.
P4. Security is tighter than an airports. Metal detectors, side arms, pure weight of numbers, ( both in how many security are employed and their individual body weights), and the meanest facial expressions in the world greet you as you enter. Being frisked is no longer a novelty. Anyone of these guys could play front row for the Wallabies.
P5. Don't worry about going to the bar. Take a seat in one of the booths and be served.
P6. Why buy individual drinks when you may buy the whole bottle. While bopping along to your favorite 70s or 80s hit remastered, why not order a few plates of food.
P7. Smokers, go for your life!
P8. After a few heart pumping tunes, the tempo will drop for the "slow dance". Guys, here's your chance to pick-up.
P9. The favour is then returned with the "slow white song". Girls here's your chance to pick-up.
P10. Club's dancing may also be interrupted with a semi erotic strip tease or some interesting hi jinks, thrust upon the patrons, by an over excited M.C.
P11. Styles of dance are as varied as the ability of the contestants of "Dancing With The Stars". Moon walking, Vanilla Ice moves, disco moves, what ever your fancy, the floor is yours.
The nightclubs here are great. Huge, normally 2-3 level affairs with an amazingly decorated interior. Just wait for the photos!

Andy, great to hear from you! Yeah the clubs are very different. How's the training going? Spinning? Hard to find a pub around here that plays rugby. All theY play is soccer and ice hockey. Can watch it from home via sputnic.

Yes when I was in Vlad I too was taken to the Yellow Submarine nightclub.
Yes the waitress was more than attentive changing the astry every 5 minutes.
The table was filled with platter of sliced fruits pierced with cocktails sticks and one of meats ( salami etc) The music/video they screened was excellent the vodka tasted like nectar and the female company gracious yet outlandish at times.
I hope to return there in Janury

Yeh, u know here clubs busines is very popular because of many teens, which likes to spent there parents money in it...) but the security control, as u said is very strong, metalseeker and so on... and it is really needed, because there are so often fighting in clubs, and if one of fighters will have knife or gun it would be dead body, and nobody wants it.....
