The security does not get it
Walking up to the 24 hour internet to print documents for my family, again that one security guard from Executiva shot my hand and pulled me close and asked for 2000. I pulled my hand back and continued on. He does not get it, unless he does something more than feel me up before I enter he does not deserve the tip/lega. Sorry to hear you have the samy problems but it is good to know I am not the only Gringo they molest.
Anyway, this trip Club Maracabo was a lot better in quality, so I stuck with them. No hustle other than the girls and they are entitled to a bit as that is why I am there.
[QUOTE=Hioctane]My first trip they did that too. And stupidly I tipped them. After that I got smart. I see them all the time and just ignored them, eventually they stopped bothering me. I still tip them 1k for getting me a beer but that's about it.[/QUOTE]
I now see I am in good company
I know that businesses in Colombia value every $ and I posted these experiences for anyone who might know the owners to let them know they are losing business because of this.
Las Americas I have not spent too much time in because the girls walking in and out to smoke did not look very good.
Club Maracaibo has been good to me so far. The last time I was there I was twirling an empty beer bottle and the waiters did not notice. A dancer came over and asked if I need a drink. When she brought me the drink I offered her a Bailey's, knowing that is where they make good money on their return. Then of course came another drink and another Bailey's but I feel she deserved it because she was doing the others job.
I have not hit up those other clubs (I have a friend who works at Luxury at Barrio Colombia and he invites me but still have not gone there). I usually stay around her as this is where my hotel is. I have my wife in my room (repairing shit while waiting on visas) until about 11 so she can watch her novelas oops sorry serials and then when the beauties are with me we usually stay out late until the malls close. Movie, dinner, yesterday was Divercity. Great place to take the kids to the kids of one you might be interested.
[QUOTE=Frank Casio]Hi Justafool,
I have been going to all those centro bars, Conejitas, Las Americas, Maracaibo and Ejecutiva, for 3-4 years. All the door men are like that and I don't even look "gringo", just a bit like an upperty class Colombian. They ask anybody that looks like they have money. They are a pest, specially the bar tenders at Barra Ejecutiva. I finally got tired of going to those bars precisely for that reason. I will say that the "Conejita" doormen are not as bad, but the other 3 are deplorable.
You will not be harrassed at Fase ll, San Diego and Luna Lunera. They are more expensive, but the quality of girls is much better and you don't have to put up with the asshole doormen. I complaint once to one of the managers at Maracaibo, and even to the doormen themselves, and told them that all they are doing is chasing away potential customers, but they are too stupid to understand or care. They just see a gringo, or anybody that looks like he's well to do, like a personal Mac machine, or Public Assistance worker.

Aussie Greg does the "Amazona"
The "real Amazona"
Just flown from Medellin to Quit "LAN" checked out my paisa girlfriends working at the Dollhouse and Extasis clubs in Quito, drove to Coca (on Rio Napo 6 hours from Quito) and travelled down the river on a fast boat (Paisa girlfriend and I)from Coca to Nuevo Rocafuerte, Parque Yasuni, swam with the fresh water dolphins, then two more nights camping on the river until Mazan (15 minutes crossing by motorbike from the Rio Napo to the Rio Amazona, then 40 minutes in a fast boat to Iquitos, Peru.
Had a couple of days in Iquitos then another fast boat to Leticia/Tabatinga/Santa Rosa, the southern most part of Colombia on the Rio Amazona.
If anybody would like more info, just ask, I am heading again to do this trip later in the year, anybody intertested, let me know.
