It is a "middle city" between Nijny Novgorod and Kazan.

This may seem like well an obvious question but why can't the love of your life in YO help you out here. I can not believe you don't even have a clue where she lives. You might just want to learn a little more about this lady, Russia and the language. It just doesn't sound too promising. Rolling Eyes

Well hey at least he is smart enough to go over there and not send the money to get the girl to come over... the dark ages of pre-camrade-rick-mediashark days of WTR where the scamees spill the beans on the forum are over Smile

It is called Yoshkar-Ola or Joshkar-Ola. Find Kazan and go up 150 km north and you will see next to a river.
Try this forum
forum.yoshkar.com
also there are three yoshkar-ola forum in Yahoo.

You can only book a B&B on the net. Just rent a flat through these "marriage" agencies.
Try www.marriage-4u.com and speak Elmira
or www.yoshkar-ola.com and speak with a Nikolai
You can rent a flat cheaper and better than a hotel.
You can tell them I sent you.

So Joe, you fly to Moscow, from here you can either fly to Kazan or take a train to Yoshkar-Ola.
a flight will cost you 70 USD one way and about 1.5 hours. You can request a person to pick you at the airport which is 1500 roubles (one way I think) then will take you to your flat(3 hour drive). Train to YO is about 20 hours and it is Kazanshyay Train Terminal. Taxi to this station and the train leaves (I think ) 11am. You will arrive in YO next morning at 6am. Train Compartments are very comfortable, but make sure you do not take the Plackharts, but private quarters.

It may be nice to provide information since WTR is all about info., but isn't it just as right to alert posters here about scams. It doesn't matter if Joe sends money to the lady or he spends his money to go there. Something seems fishy here.

Please cyndy... Why won't you just assume that people will use their common sense. He'll be better served if we just help him with answering the tougher questions, instead of returning to the usual flame-bait warnings. Mediashark, Joe and I actually used the chat board in here for a while and believe me: he's probably seen more of the world than most of us..
