Guayaquil

[QUOTE=Saeta119]Hmm you can always take a tax and go to El Imperio at night.

What about calle 18? Dangerous but nearby.[/QUOTE]

I was in Calle 18 many times during daytime, i had no problem at all.

BL

The only daytime leads are along the perimetral, there is a bunch of clubs right next to each other Texa, Puente blanco and such they usually charge around 6 bucks.

What to do if the hotel you are staying in doesn't organize taxi service ? Is there a secure stand that writes down the drivers number and a pre- determined fare ? The fare is at the most is $4.

I've read that hold ups are very common coming from the airport.

I've been to guayaquil for one too many times this year, receiving and dropping off friends at the airport, never a problem, usually the hold ups happen when they see an immigrant coming with tons of suitcases, the thieves know there might be something of value.

You sound to be freaking out about safety in ecuador, you sure you want to come?

In regards to taxis, there's a stand to your right as soon as you exit customs, big sign that says Taxi, you can ask for a taxi there and agree on the fare with the lady there, she will then tell the taxi driver where to go and how much, saves you the hassle of haggling.

Kinda funny have to tell you, "secure stand, write down driver's numbers." where do you get your info about ecuador? Have you been to other countries where paranoia about safety is so high? Sorry, had to laugh.

I am glad that I entertain you. Thats why we share our tales no ?

In most SA countries it is recommended that you try to organize a taxi through your hotel or an *official stand at the airport. It has nothing to do with "doomsday" thinking just plain common sense.


Some people prefer to go to the street for a taxi. I myself prefer to pay a few extra dollars. Once I get to where I am going and settled I can go where I please.

Thank you for the *info

I will be in Guayaquil from sept 15 to 30th.

I am looking forward to my fist visit. Do have many questions. Guess posted them in wrong place.

I have some very basic questions.

1. I do not speak language. Any place to find english speaking gals?

2. Should I carry US$ or should change currency?

3. I was reading reports about the places for $6 short play. Are the places safe? and will language be a barrier?

4. I am going to be in downtown. on October street. I will love to find someone who will join me for beer and may be we can go around downtown to check out the scene.

Thank you for any guidance and your time.

[QUOTE=Vector313]Thanks doom, you seem to have all of the current news. I will be in GYE all of next week, but friends and family have said that it has gotten very dangerous, with a couple of family members getting robbed recently. What is the status on in the chongo circuit and do you suggest any chongos that are doing well right now?[/QUOTE]GYE has long had a reputation as being the most dangerous city in Ecuador. I have heard story upon story of people being robbed, even during daytime.

Rules:
Do not walk around anywhere at nite.
During the evening, travel in a group.
During evening take a taxi everywhere.
Do not go to Calle 18 at nite (this is suicide) - even during the day going to Calle 18 , I would make sure I went in a group, or with an escort.
Even if you walk around during day you might get robbed.

While it is much safer to take a taxi everywhere, I have heard reports of folks getting jacked while they are in a taxi. Calling a radio-controlled cab is probably the safest bet. If you go to a place like Salamane, be sure you to go straight from the door to the cab. Do not linger outside in those streets.

I happen to like Salamane - it is my favorite wh0rehouse in all of GYE. They have a good selection and a lively crew.

I would not walk alone on the Malecon at nite. The only place where I would walk around at nite is Zona Rosa - it is the high-end restaurant and disco area and has guards on every corner. Even then, I would minimize my walking around.

[size=-2][b][u]EDITOR'S NOTE[/u]:[/b] [blue]I would suggest that the author or another Forum Member consider posting a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread. Please [url=http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?]Click Here[/url] for more information.[/blue][/size]

[QUOTE=Vector313] I managed to find salame, but the girls were terribly un-impressive.[/QUOTE]I was pleased with Salamane I am guessing - but I think it was like 20 girls and maybe 5 cute and were spinners. If you are looking for the silicon sisters with big fake enhanced boobs, then this is not the place for you. They had some cute spinners there - just no silicone. Maybe the place has gone downhill.

Unless it has moved the Salamane address is " Guayaquil centro - esquina de Velez y Quito. " Price for 25min is $12.50. beers $1. Hrs: 7pm to 1am. Admission $1 - do not pay any more than this. Some doormen will try to make you pay $5 if u are a gringo. Don't fall for this.

I posted fotos of one of these fine assed lasses here: [url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=687096&postcount=260[/url]

[QUOTE=Vector313] I really need some daytime leads. Doom. Anyone?[/QUOTE]I think Calle 18 is your only bet for daytime leads. I would go early before the locals get liquored up and violent. I went there in daytime and I had no problems what so ever - not even the hint of violence. Just a bunch of drunken Ecuadorians staring at the women.

There are some good-looking women there - tons of selection - the only problem is that you have to have sex in an un-airconditioned dirty closet.

I was later told that going there alone was not the best idea (even in daytime).
Pay the cab driver to stay with you and walk around with you as your escort.

I just received the following warning for Americans using Taxis in Guayaquil:

[quote]The Consulate General in Guayaquil wishes to inform American citizens visiting or resident in the Guayaquil area of an increase in crime involving American citizens using taxis. Recently, there have been several incidents of robberies, called “express kidnappings,” or “secuestros express,” where taxi drivers and accomplices threatened passengers, usually with guns, and held them captive as they drove them to various ATMs to withdraw money. American citizens are urged not to hail taxis on the street. “Express kidnappings” have occurred in more affluent areas in Guayaquil such as Urdesa, the Malecón 2000, and outside of the San Marino Mall. Incidents have also been reported in the coastal cities of Manta and Machala. U.S. citizens are urged to use caution when selecting a taxi in these areas, regardless of location and time of day.

Due to the seriousness of the taxi situation, all personnel working for the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Guayaquil have been prohibited from riding in taxis hailed off the street, even yellow taxis. As an alternative, employees have been told to use their personal vehicles, or to call one of the vetted taxi services available on the U.S. Consulate General’s website: [url]http://guayaquil.usconsulate.gov[/url]

If you find yourself involved in a robbery, we recommend you be non-confrontational and cooperate with the robber. Nothing material is as valuable as your life.

If U.S. citizens are involved in a criminal incident, they are encouraged to file a “denuncia,” or “theft report,” with the local police and then to inform the American Citizens Services Office at the U.S. Consulate General Guayaquil. We are located at 9 de Octubre y Garcia Moreno, Guayaquil, Ecuador, Tel +593-4-232-3570 or after hours at +593-4-232-1151.

Even then, I would minimize my walking around.[/QUOTE]The name is Zona Rosa (pink zone?), zona roja is red zone usually means a "red light district", but in spanish it can also mean a really dangerous place.

I am here in Guayaquil. For another week and half. I see so many woman around and it is tough not to get any action because of language.

Can someone be kind enough to help me out. Please.

Went to Club Amadues yesterday. I have to say it was a rip off.

Entrance: $10

Beer: $7.50

Talked to one chick and she quoted me 140 for one time.

Guess I was exploited because I am not local and do not speak language.

This was a very disappointing experience.

Not cool at all. I went to Quito in 2007 and fortunately one of my wingmen spoke better Spanish than they did.......may have to re-think my wanting to go to Quayaquil next year. But I'm sure with the economies in the dumps in all the 3rd world countries, American tourists are prime targets. I limit most of my travel to Panama, Costa Rica and the Dominican, and crime problems seem to be on the rise in those countries as well. The aforementioned countries have very little police presence and what is, is corupt.

Hi guys!

I'm now living in Ghana getting to my third year and its getting pretty borring. Theres not much to do even in the big city like Accra other than bangin girls and ofcause I'm doing that! In the beginning I thought that banging a new girl every day was something I could do for the rest of my life and be happy with that but I'm not. I see some other white guys here in Ghana who has lived here for 15 years! And I wonder how they can still be here. Theres nothing to do and nowere to go. Pussy is cheap here but everything else is expensive.

I looked at countries like The Philippines and Thiland but I'm not too much into asian girls, I guess I could do it for a month or 2 but I would not want to live there.

I'm now looking at Ecuador, it seems like the perfect country, cheap to live in, sunshine most of the time, easy flight to othere nice places like Miami, Aruba, D. R, Cuba ect. And realative safe. The only thing that worried me a bit was when I looked at the pictures on this tread. I almost lost my appetite. Hope this is not the true quality in Ecuador? I mean if your willing to pay like 100USD a hour you should be able to find some real stunners right? But then again I think we all know that the girls never look as good on the pictures as in real life. I like girls like that Shakira that one guy posted a picture of. Pamala anderson like. Guayaquil seem like the best place for both fun and Business, besides I don't like to stay far from the beach. I can see from his postes that Doomsbringer has been there for more than 5 years so he should know, any advice guys before I take the big step and move there?

Thanks in advance.
