Germany and Czech Republic
Hi, everyone. Just got back from almost 2 weeks visiting an old friend in Berlin. Had a great time in Berlin, Dresden, and on one foray across the border to the Czech Repubic. While my main goal was to visit historic sights and museums, my friend and I also had time for some fun with professional services in both Berlin and the Czech Repubic. I'm reporting it here just so folks can have an idea of what goes on if they want to visit one of these countries.
Professional services are legal, taxed, and strictly controlled in both Germany and the Czech Republic. I was surprised to find that pricing varied widely, but you can get great service for prices comparable to what someone would have to pay here. However, in the Czech Republic only individual providers of services are legal, while in Germany you can have organized service centers.
The foray into the Czech Republic was very interesting. We drove across the border and within a few miles there was a house with huge, glass front window. A woman in lingerie was posing in the window. There were several more such places for several miles along the road. Costs were about 2/3 of the costs in Germany. As in Germany, you can have any kind of service you want-most places have providers offering just about any service you can think of. Of course, some services cost more than others.
Germany had both independent service providers and "service centers." Organized service centers are of various types. Some have salaried employees; some have independent contractors who pay a fee or percentage of their take to the owner. I preferred the independent contractors-if you find one you like you can hire her as a guide for as long as you like as she has no long term contract with the owner. She is free to leave and return as she pleases-and I think the independents give better service. There are also independents on the streets in Berlin-especially near hotels and ATM machines. They will approach you (especially if you get money from an ATM on the street) , but I never had one harass me if I said I wasn't interested and I never felt threatened in any way. Quality of appearance, performance, and dress (or costuming) is excellent; lots of competition I guess.
Anyone interested in asking about museums, historic sights / sites, hotels, etc, feel free to send me a message.
Berlin and Dresden Museums
