$ 8 Is The Base Price For El Centro Street Girls
[QUOTE=JamesDandy;1731109]Back to the topic of the thread, it seems El Centro has been especially stocked with honeys lately. I'm not just talking the casas and strip clubs, but the streets as well. Has anybody else noticed the same? It's hard to believe, but at today's exchange rate a half-hour session with lady of your choice costs only $13.50 in most places.
I've been having a blast, and glad to have met several guys from ISG here recently. Medellin truly is heaven on earth![/QUOTE]You've been overpaying for your El Centro street girls Mr. Dandy, but your observations are right on the money. Most guys on this Site are tied up at the casa's and strip clubs, or the Mansion scene.
If your into the sacaleros they will go as low as $ 6 but "buyer beware" on those. There are some very sweet girls in and around the Plaza and in front of the Church who will go for 20,000 pesos or about $ 8. My experience and my Tijuana street partners has been that these girls will stay for hours with you for not much more money or a promised tip. Also, anything goes with a lot of these girls. What's good for guys like us is that most ISG members won't partake in this scene which in some cases resembles the Tijuana street scene. You do need to have Spanish speaking skills though, and the best way to operate there is to have your own room so you have the freedom and flexibility to work it.
Don't fly on Aeromexico they will try to rip you off
Yesterday morning me and my partner in crime in Medellin arrived at the airport for our return flight to LAX thru Mexico City to find out it had been delayed for an hour and fifteen minutes. We originally had a layover of about three hours and when we landed in Mexico City we had about two hours to make our connection. Upon entering the Immigration Hall it was mobbed with people everywhere, unorganized lines, and nobody controlling / directing people where to line up.
It took us two hours to just get thru Immigration and we missed are connecting flight. We where told to go up stairs and they would put us on the next flight. Upon going upstairs and getting in a line, the person if front of us who missed their flight as well was informed that they would have to pay a change fee. We where then told the same thing and sent to four different counters and where told that Supervisors where not available, or that they could not change our flight unless we paid. We where told that us missing the flight was not their problem.
We finally found a Supervisor who fixed the problem and got us on the next flight but we where exasperated at the rudeness and the attempt to fleece us by the majority of the AeroMexico employees. I will never fly with them again and will in the future avoid flying thru Mexico City as well.
Learn to travel without having to check baggage
[QUOTE=JamesDandy;1731106]I flew Copa through Panama once, won't fly with them ever again. I had packed a small silver locket on a silver chain in the middle of my bag, the thing was not worth much except for sentimental value passed from generation to generation in the family. Somebody in Panama went through the bag just to get this item, didn't even close the little box it was in, making me think they were just anxious to see what was in the next person's bag. It irritated me, but not nearly as much as the customer service people I reported the incident to via the only option they gave, which was to file the complaint online then wait for a several week "investigation". After a month all they said was "it's not our responsibility".
Lesson learned, take it for what it's worth. Maybe I was just unlucky but I won't touch Copa again, also won't fly through Panama.[/QUOTE]You really can't blame COPA for one of their employee's thieving ways as COPA cannot verify what you claim to have had stolen. Actually COPA is one of the better carriers to get to Colombia and transit within their hub in Panama City is very good.
I hate checked baggage and on my last trip which lasted nine days I packed enough clothes in a carry on bag that I didn't need to have anything washed. Liquids where not a problem if they are less than 3 ounces in size and in a quart bag. You can buy things like shampoo, etc. That exceed the TSA screening requirements when you get there. I even had enough room for a pair of dress shoes in my carry on.
The big plus by doing this is you save time in transit between Cities and upon arrival in Colombia and won't have any lost or delayed baggage issues, and nothing will get stolen.
