As Always, Ricker's Post is Spot On
the man TRULY tells it like it is without playing favorites at all.
Cubanut: the road to Buenaventura is VERY dangerous for gringos (a good friend was removed at knifepoint from a mini-bus, tied to a stake out in the middle of nowhere, and was lucky to escape his harrowing ordeal alive; I will ask his permission to post his epic story on this website if there is interest but I think you are a member of the site where the story was posted.)
Also, the beaches are mud, the the water black, thge climate Cartagena like and it is a VERY unpleasant place that is not worth the effort (unless you LOVE Black girls in VERY seedy casas). Ask Screwed Up or search these threads for his report.
Ditto the road to the South past Jamundi. The highway NORTH is the ONLY reasonably safe escape from Cali. I know I sound like a broken record but it is easy to develop a false sense of security in Colombia.
I admit that I DREAD the opening of a Mansion like facility in Cali; one guy, Batman, tried it and failed miserably. I hope any succesors meet the same fate as the big plus of Cali, the friendliness of the people (chicas included), will go the way of Laguito and Poblasdo once the flood gates are flung open.
I am pretty much over my Colombia phase as I do NOT like the changes taking place there at all and am moving on to greener pastures (much applause from the peanut gallery!) That being said, I will still return occasionally as I have good friends who live there AND there are still secret corners not yet inundated by the gringo invasion. But IMHO, Colombia's best days as a mongering location are but pleasant memories. ):

Fun, Danger & More in Cali
Ricker,
I agree that there are more than enough girls of legal age to pursue than to seek out children. Play No Games makes a vlid point of not wanting to be associated with this chracter as well. Your call on disclosing who the individual is though. It would be unfortunate if one asshole fucks it up for many other fellow mongers who play by the rules.
On another note: I hailed a taxi one night and the driver right away offered me coke (he showed me what he had on hand) and ecstacy, weed etc.. I told him I wasn't interested. Then he quickly asked me if I wanted to screw a beautiful 15 year old girl and I told him no and told him to pull over immediately and got out and threw him some pesos and hopped in another taxi. I didn't want to be associated with that driver. Just gotta be careful about being set up as well.
Jman,
Robert (Medellin Bob) started his business originally in Cali 8 years ago and left after 2 years when he discovered Medellin.
Surfer,
I would disagree about what you say about Cali be past it's prime. It's not just in my opinion that Cali is on a rebound it's also Robert's (Medellin Bob). I can see the exitement in his eyes as well when he talks about opening a branch of the Mansion in Cali. He and I went through some extensive reconassaince to check out the talent throughout the city and found more than enough good daytime and night venues to keep throngs of mongers occupied.
Also, I never said Cali/Buenaventura was safe but at the same time I will not say it is very dangerous. In fact Cali is not safe as a whole and that is why I said it is not the ideal place for a newbie monger to Colombia to start out the hobby. My suggestion was to do Medellin first. It is also why I said a Cali Mansion would be greatly welcome.
Just like any other city, one's safety has alot to do with one's habits and awareness. Even this can fail though. For example, while I was in Cali last week, we were on our way to the Chippe Choppe and the police had roped off a car in the parking lot that had just been shot up. It was a failed hit though because the windows were bullet proof and the driver survived though still serious hurt by the bullets that did break through.
MiamiHeatLuver,
The Citibank I believe you are reffing to in Versalles is at the corner of calle 23 Norte & ave 5. It was straight down avenida 5 from the Hotel Windsor Plaza. There is a Bancafe right around the corner from the Windsor though that gives multiple $300,000 withdrawls. I always pull the max when I head to the ATM's but many gringos only take out what they think they need for the day no matter how much they can actually get at one visit. The Cambios at the Chippe Chappe were giving $2,200 cop to the usd as well.
Enigma84,
It's just my opinion but Cali is in no way infested with the likes and types of gringos you find in Cartagena.
Rob Hay,
Sorry buddy but no pics of the non-pros of Armenia will I post out here. I know I have posted many a girl but they were always of pros or semi pros. You will just have to take my word aboutthe lighter eyes.
Posting pros is different.
Cheers Gents,
Cubanut
