Getting acquainted does not make you a guide
If you are visiting briefly, say so without promising an uncertain continuation. If you live in the city, you do not have to organise a tour for someone you have just started talking to. Suggest a short meeting in a convenient public place. Talk about a detail visitors usually overlook or something you can do on an ordinary free evening. Longer trips together require a separate agreement and are not a condition of getting to know each other.
This is an editorial guide to meeting people in the selected city. It does not confirm the number of local members or any particular person's willingness to meet. The city images are artistic illustrations, not accurate views of locations.
A place and a conversation starter
In the Sukachev Museum’s programme, distinguish between the main building, the Gallery of Siberian Art and the estate: choose an exhibition first, then agree on its venue. Instead of a long programme, suggest a conversation about how artists see familiar places and compare this with your own impressions of Irkutsk.
V. P. Sukachev Irkutsk Regional Art Museum. Before going, check the address, accessibility, admission conditions and current programme.
- Say whether you live in the city or are visiting temporarily.
- Agree on what you want from the conversation and a realistic meeting length.
- Choose a topic about everyday Irkutsk without any obligation to give a tour.
A place to start
Choose a relevant example and adapt it to your situation. Do not assume someone has interests they have not mentioned.
What do you enjoy about Irkutsk on an ordinary day when you don’t have to show anyone the sights?
I’m only here briefly and want to be clear about that from the start. If a short meeting over coffee suits you, I’d be happy to.

What else is useful to know
Do I need to agree to show a new acquaintance around the city?
No. You can suggest an ordinary meeting or offer one public recommendation if you wish. Talking to someone creates no obligation to be their guide.
What is available in GuessWish?

No. Interest, replies and willingness to meet depend on the other person. The examples on this page help you start a conversation but do not promise an outcome.
