Ok OK guys this is not the BKK site but
[QUOTE=TroyBoy;1676687]Within minutes of each other I exchanged dollars at a cambio in Mall Oviedo (which in the past has always delivered one of the better exchange rates I have see around town) and then pulled significant cash out of a nearby bank ATM using my USA bank debit card (mastercharge endorsed).
It always takes a few days for all the fees / charges to fully appear on my bank statement. (mastercard currency conv. Fee + mastercard cross border fee).
When all is said and done (with all fees included) I received the following exchange rate on this date:
Oviedo Mall Cambio: 2,190 cop / usd.
ATM withdrawl (debit card) 2,344 cop / usd.
Keep in mind this is a debit card and not a credit card.
I have done this little experiment in the past and I believe when all ATM fees were included the rates were much more equal or maybe even a little better at the cambios, but things have obviously changed leaning to better rates at the ATM.
I will be traveling to Thailand next month and would be curious is the same will be found there?[/QUOTE]I just returned from 3 weeks in Bangkok, I did not use ATMs as last year the USD $ cash rate for 50&100 notes, and TC rate was considerably better than ATM debits from a Canadian bank This year I took $USD and USD $ TC, s, I never carry TC. S in South America as you really get burned but not so in Thailand. Any note less than a 50 you get a poorer rate. Look up a few of my posting about "soapies" on the BKK site, too bad MDE does have the same 2 chicas in jacuzzi scrubbing your fingers, toes and other things, and the soapy body slides. The places have bars, restaurant and 150 or more chicas, Burmese, Lao, Cambodian, Thai. I just luv meeting people from different cultures. The facades on some of these places look like a casino entrance in vegas. These soapies are all 3 miles north of where all the farangs "foreigners" hangout like Soi Cowboy, Patpong and Nana. The "soapies" will be maybe 80% thai guys whereas in the former 3 places thai guys are not allowed to go, farangs only. Avoid any bar or club owned by an Arab or a Russian, there is a list of those on some BKK blog sites, and never go into a bar on the second floor in BKK. Back to my beloved paisas next week, God I luv Colombia.
Saturday Afternoon Casa Visits
First I went to Energy about 4 PM. Only four chicas available, one 7, one six, and two 5's. I passed. Next I went to Blue Room and found only two chicas available, both solid 7's. I was tempted but the day is young. Next I walked about a mile down calle 33 to Abydos. Five chicas available here ranging from solid 7 to 5's. I passed again and will find something tonight. Two weeks ago also on Saturday I visited New Life about 1 PM and there were at least 15 chicas working. One was a solid 8 and I did one hour with her good for two pops. One hour cost was 70 K pesos. I requested "chupar sin condon" and she said that would require a 20 K peso tip which I gladly agreed to pay. She was great and New Life is a great value if you find a hot chica. I've been to Energy twice now and have been disappointed with chicas both times. Anyone finding any 8+ talent there lately? What is the best day of week and time of day? What casa outside of Lutron has the best looking talent these days?

[QUOTE=TweedleD;1622283][URL]www.colombiajake.com[/URL] not hard at all USA 727-498-1680.[/QUOTE]Here we go with the newest hottie of the month! Yesica is a sweetheart who I've known for three years. She lives in Paris which is a barrio high up on the west side of Medellin. She has to walk up and down a lot to get to the store or to see friends and keeps those legs firm and hot! December was Karen, January Carolina and this month Yesica! I want to make sure you have plenty to keep you busy while your staying here with me. Of course these girls enjoy going out with you to have fun, or you can just stay here which ever you prefer. Let me know? Of course this is just for the guys who stay here at Jake's.
Thanks!
