Hey Steemians,
it's been 5 months since I flew to Krakow for what is probably the biggest community meeting - the #steemfest3 .
You have been able to read a lot about all the activities and reports during the days and you are very well informed how great the meeting with all the Steemians was.
In this article I would like to describe my experience which I experienced on that evening/night after we as Team-Germany won the BearBowling.
I've thought long and hard about writing this post but now I've come to the conclusion that it's a warning to more visitors as I've read various reports about the Black Pearl Club.
...
With the rented buses we drove back to the hotel to celebrate from there the victory of BearBowling. It was still relatively early and we actually went to the Alchemia Bar like every evening because there was most room for many Steemians, and of course the beer is okay.
The Alchemy Bar next to the Kazimir Marketplace.
So while we sit in the bar and drunk our beers, party and talk about different topics we also go outside to smoke a cigarette and get some fresh air.
A young lady, let her be in her mid 20s came to us and told us that 50m further there is a club and she would like to "invite" us for a few drinks.
At this point I'd like to say - Don't go for this inconspicuously great offer of a very good looking young lady, afterwards you will regret it bitterly.
I turned my back on her and went to the Alchemy Bar again to continue enjoying the evening with my new friends. Leave it maybe 03.00AM when we left the Alchemy Bar - but just... the little inconspicuous lady still stood there and asked again to accompany her.
At that point, you should have just walked - ignored - left standing - whatever
We then gathered to follow the lady. As a group of 5 people we went down to the Black Pearl Club and sat down in the empty club.
So while we were ordering a drink, a lady was already dancing at the bar in the middle of the room to attract the attention of the guests. The bar lady came up and served us a tray full of small shot's to get warm, with the request not to take photos and videos, but hey... in times of SmartPhones and social gatherings a little video can happen.
These are also used to track what happens next
With so many rotations you get really dizzy - but it comes from the shots, more about it below.
As you can see in the GIF, the lady on the right moves towards us. She squeezes herself with her fat ass next to us and talks about whether you would like to have a private show. We're in Poland, you won't get a private dance that cheap, she told me.
So the nightmare began in a dream.
We went to Krakow to experience something, a little private dance can't hurt - men, are we ashamed of it ? No!
I'm then the whore after and made it to me in a separate comfortable room - the curtains were pulled forward and one, I call them times Swaglana to simplify the procedure what happened then.
Swaglana danced at the bar for me and turned dizzy. 5 minutes ... 10 minutes...
It burst the lady of the house in and served me again a few Shot's to become looser with Swaglana, okay...
We enjoyed ourselves, she sat on my lap to make closer body contact - Swaglana is a professional - she knows how to pull a customer off...
The lady of the house came in again and asked for the cash. Directly with the card reader in her hand she squatted next to me while Swaglana was still sitting on my lap.
She presented me the value of the lap dance on the device - 360 zL for the previous experience.
I thought to myself, okay... that was your experience with Swaglana and now i had to pay, no problem.
The device seems to have caused an error - the transaction didn't go through, I should try again, she told me. At the same moment Swaglana stuck her inflated tits in my face so I couldn't see the card reader.
The Lady of the house entered the value again without me seeing it, I just had to enter my PIN again. Said done, the lady paid and we go on...
The shots I drank with Swaglana showed their effect - the drugged shots are my memory killer from that moment.
This is apparently my official taxable overnight receipt. The lady of the house then simply attached a 4 to the sum of the 2nd payment attempt and let me pay 10 times the original price - This is a rip-off!
What the hell is this Róża ? I googled it afterwards and gave the girls in the club a rose as a present?
What the hell happened that night?!
- You go to the Black Pearl Club and you're glamoured with a pole dance.
- You get free shots with narcotics to make the men compliant.
- You are compelled to "book" a private dance with a lady.
- Once you're in a private dance, you get ripped off and drugged.
- During your private show you will be asked to pay
- You unconsciously buy roses for the whole club - be gentle or what?!
- ~ $950 payed for - NOTHING!
Black Pearl Club - one of many scam clubs in poland
If you had known beforehand what you were going to do when you visited the Black Pearl Club, you would consider going in there.
Do you think I was an isolated case? Not at all...
If you googlet something about the Black Pearl Club (you don't do it in the evening) you will find a lot of reviews and testimonials... some I quote you:
and so on.... one guy got killed by the Drugs and one was stabbed to death.
all reviews you can find on this Page:

Conclusion of the Experience
I'm glad I got out of there alive. Neither from the drug shots nor from the bouncers who watch out for you to pay.
The friendships I made at #steemfest3 exceed this bad experience by far - thanks to the people who made me leave this club alive that evening.
True to the motto - What happens in Krakow stays in Krakow, I would not describe this experience now. This should also be a warning for other visitors. Everyone who should learn something about the Black Pearl Club and its tricks can find this article and hopefully be warned against entering this club.
i paid my lesson... and some roses...
Puh, das ist mal ne heftige Story!
Krass wie da einfach mal fast 1000€ weg sind :oo
Danke für die Warnung, ich war zwar noch nie in Polen, aber ich könnte mir gut vorstellen, dass ich (entsprechend betrunken und mit meinem männlichen Freundeskreis unterwegs) ebenfalls ein potenzielles Opfer für derartige kriminelle Akte wäre...
Thanks for the info and photo of the receipt, I live in Poland, though am not from here, I do though know a few police men that do odd jobs for me on cars and motorbikes when they need some extra money, I will give this info to them, if you do not mind?......
feel free to go for it, i appreciate all help against those criminal energy.
Thank God we survived the night and I didn't fall asleep in the toilet :-)
What a story! Still feel soooo sorry for you.
In China this is called the tea house scam
:))
Daammmmm, you should of hung out with us boring people.
hehe, yeah, but I doubt it would have been boring. Probably a whole lot better than what he got in that club.
I take your definition of boring over an experience of getting ripped off any time of the day @hilarski!
Some people are simply sick, damn... especially after reading the reviews i am wondering even more why this place (and others!) has still opened for business... luckyly you got out of there just paying your lesson, getting some "Hostel vibes" (Movie) from this place and concidering someone got killed there this way... yea...
I wish I would have been there because I read about this scam place before I went to Krakow actually... So sorry you had to pay for the consequences.
But yeah, at least the rest of your trip was worth it, and you may just keep others from making the same mistake...
finally it's an experience which i dont want to wish others, jep.
the other days was fun and a good basement for future meetings :)
Ich bin froh dass ich nach dem Alchemica zurück ins Appartement bin.

WTF - what a story. Sorry to hear this. I heard many stories about scams in such clubs, but never heard that the customers got drugged. This is more than scary!
Respect my friend :-)

My vision of Krakow is very different. I have not seen strip clubs and my experience was oriented to the artistic and culinary beauties of the city.
