Tiffany from Casa Yakusa.
She's 20, from Venezuela and has a really cute smile. Yakusa is a different kind of casa, opens early, closes late (like 2 to 4 am) and has some couches and sells beer etc. I have had one of the girls come out and do a striptease there for all the guys (small room, 4 or 5 guys) The room I have been in there was the worse of all the ones I have been in, they will let you take the girl somewhere close for no charge, 45 k 1/2 HR.
Another Parque Lleras Warning
Just got back from a short trip to MDE. I have been traveling to Colombia for 12 years and was married to a Colombiana for 9 years. The past two years I have gone to MDE at least once a month. All of this just to provide context. I'm not new to MDE.
Anyway, I met a chica friend of mine this past Monday afternoon for lunch. We were going to the mall to eat at Mundo Verde, but changed the plans to Parque Lleras. I am not a huge Parque Lleras fan. I do go there for dinner on occasion, but I never go there to party or pick up putas. Anyway, it's almost 5 pm And we finished having late lunch and talking. The girl is a prepago, but I only see her these days as a friend. We went to eat at Basilica, which is right on the boarder of the actual park. After lunch, her mother, who works close to the park, joined us so she and the girl could go home in a taxi together. So I am walking down the street with my chica friend and her mom and we get stopped by 4 cops. They ask for ID and start hassling both me and the two ladies about them being prostitutes and how we were "disrespecting the park. " As soon as I saw the cops, I knew I was screwed. Since I visit Colombian so often and never have problems, I had forgotten to bring my passport copy with me. Given that I stay in Laureles now, I have never needed it. If someone wants ID to go with a credit card, I have always used my driver's license. So when I gave the copy my license and told him my passport was in my apartment, he was not amused (of course, this WAS my fault and I know it). He and his three cop friends frisked me and the two ladies, obviously looking for drugs. And of course they found nothing. But they were really rude to me and the two ladies. I really did not care about what they said to me, but I really felt bad for them. As they had done nothing wrong. Simply walking from a restaurant to get a taxi and go home. The cops were very insulting. Because in Colombia, these barrio people get no respect and seem to have few rights.
As much as the lead cop was a total prick, he did let me go. He kept my license and told me to go get my passport and bring it back. Which I did later that night. Funny thing is that when I returned on Monday night, the park was still dead, but I could not find the cops. I walked around for 10-15 minutes. In that time, I got propositioned 5 different times! So much for the cops trying to keep the parked "respected"! Since prostitution is legal, I guess the only thing they can do is hassle the gringos and any chicas with them. Hoping they'll go away. I finally found the cop. He checked my passport against some database and then gave me back my passport and license. He was still berating me and rolling his eyes at me. As he told his new cop friend the whole story. I just smiled and said "feliz noche" as I headed for my cab.
In summary, it was my fault. I know better and I've gotten sloppy because of the frequency of my visits, my lack of prior problems, and where I now stay. But I post this for the benefit of the newer guys. The ones who don't just frequent centro, but who seem to like to go to Lleras. Do yourself a favor. Carry a copy of your passport with the exit stamp. It could have been worse for me. I got lucky. If you are in the parque and with a chica, there is a good chance you'll be stopped. I was in the parque alone one time to eat and was handed a pamphlet about prostitution written in English. We are targets of the cops, so don't give them any reason to screw with you. No drugs in your pockets. Since prostitution is legal, nothing the cops can do about that. They will hassle you, but can do nothing as long as you keep clean and carry the appropriate ID.
Good think I don't give a shit about Lleras. In no hurry to return. And if I do, you can bet I'll have my passport. I'm sure that cop will remember me and stop me in a heartbeat.
