Cartagena Reports

[quote=que rico;1273042]colombia is spelled columbia in english, says on the coffee pots from columbia in my store, also says it in my text to speech cell phone and computer, it's columbia in english get over it cabeca de pene, in english that's dickhead![/quote]i'm not sure a coffee pot or a text to speech application are good sources for the proper english spelling of colombia. if "columbia" is the proper english spelling of "colombia", then the webster's english dictionary has a spelling error.

The country, not the District, not the Ivy-League University or the S. C. City.

I'm embarrased for you.[/QUOTE]David_33 mentioned I should drop by the Cartagena thread and have a laugh / read about the Obama's agents etc given that the mongers here had a good viewpoint on it. Instead you are having a spelling bee contest!

QR. I agree with the others, sometimes I wish Jackson would have a spell check function to possibly avoid this event.

Clearly you buy your coffee from odd places QR.

Ho hum, back to the Philippines.

[QUOTE=Hong Kong Boy;1272007]Anyone try Global fantasies or Universal fantasies? They look the same to me.[/QUOTE]I have tried the other escort page mentioned, Colombia VIP. Bad experience, indeed. First, the one I wanted could not show up. I was waiting about 1 h. In Zona Norte. Then they sent the one called Dina, supposed to be top of the line. She smelled worse than any hooker I have ever met! I had to send her away with unfinished business.

I think you have to play hard with these guys if you order.

I prefer LDV or Isis. If not, the good alternatives are in the port. (Donde R, e. G.)

To change to the Topic!

Just got back from my tenth trip to Cartagena, over the past 10 years; but the last one was about two years ago. Noticed a lot of changes!

I've had a lot of our members such as David and Roger help me along so I thought I'll pass on some of my own:

There are a lot of new Hotels being built now-to be ready in the next couple of years-many 5 star type like the Sheritan and International. New Law where you cannot rent Condo's in the best buildings is now in effect. Can always find some in condo-hotels in Laguito or Palmetto in Boccagrande. The Chicas are asking for mucho dinero at LDV; which I refused to give. Finally found a few more reasonable ones towards closing time. Also after midnight across from Tu Candela. These were my two best spots. Tony at the beach is ripping off tourists like candy. Such a Scumbag. You're better off taking a walk along the beach and picking up. Picked up a couple of gems just walking around Boccagrande in the afternoon. My chicas were sensational; nothing compares to the latins!

This last trip I stayed in a shit hole condo in Laquito although it had a great view and close to LDV I would never stay there again.

I would definitely recommend two other good, chica friendly hotels:

1. The Lee Hotel in the Old City is really good. At less than $100 and about a 3* plus its the best bargain around. Clean and Airy rooms with a small pool and patio on the roof. Its minutes from the downtown Old City core by foot and you walk by the University and Park where many a student are looking to make a few bucks to cover expenses.

2. The Orr Hotel is about 3 months old and is easily a 4 * plus. Its 3 blocks from the beach and a 3 minute cab ride from LDV. Its got a small Pool and Patio and you can bring guests there. Its perfect for partying. Its also got a Hot tub and Breakfast is included all for about $135 p night.

I met the owner Al and he was very helpful and spoke perfect English. I told him he should contact Jackson about advertizing his places (and he also has a 5* place). He said he would and consider giving Members a discount. Until he gets it up, sic. If you bbm me I'll send you his email.

Also, got stopped once for a spot check but no problems; as I don't do drugs and the chica had proper I'd.

Have Fun and Stay Safe!

I would appreciate any info someone experienced can give. I am heading to Cartagena today and would like to know around what time is good to go to some of the places? I know Elektra only opens after 3am, LDV after midnight, but how about Tu Candela? The normal bars Cafe del Mar and Casa de la cerveza? Also where is the place to go in the early evening, around 8pm? Thanks for the info and will write a report when I get back. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tony? Tony Montana? Hahaha. Hes just a fool. What kind of scam does he have running now? Please let me know.

I personally recommend Donde R. They have great selection and good prices. And no bullshit. Its a *****house, simple as that. LDV and Isis is OK, too, but you must know your way around. Max. 100t is what I pay.

Having lived in C for about 2 years and speaking Spanish since childhood it is easier, despite my "Gringo" looks.

Viper10[/QUOTE]In my experience, get to ldv around 11 or 1130. You're spot on for Electra but I couldn't tell you about the other places.

Viper10[/QUOTE]Tu Candela 10 pm to 4 am, Cafe del Mar is good at sunset. 8 pm watch for early street talent or join a chiva rumba party, Isis opens at 9 pm. Also 8 pm may be good if you take a drive to a strip club (je-je)

I wouldn't get to Tu Candela much before midnight especially these days when it's been particularly quiet. It closes at 3. 30am.

LDV: don't arrive before 11. 30pm IMO.

Elektra: 3. 30am. If you arrive at 3 on the dot it'll be you and the doorman.

I've never been to Cafe Del Mar as early as sunset, but I'd guess it's peak hours are around midnight. It's a difficult place to pick up, however.

[QUOTE=Mr Gogo;1272683]She was in charge of South America operations, a 20 year veteran. Could she have squash it? Maybe. Should she had risked her career for some dumb horny assed agents? No. From my understanding she ordered the agents home, which was a good call, but I don't think she went public with that. It somehow was leaked and the press got a hold of it. The agents should have pooled some money and ended it at the hotel.[/QUOTE]FYI. The other agents DID put together money to give to the hooker. $255 USD, more than enough. She told the media that the agent "owed her $800". A ridiculous sum for any South American hooker, and way outside the CTG price range, as we all know. She's probably lying. Probably she pulled one of the common prostitute price scams. Negotiating the price in the local currency up front, then demanding to be paid in US dollars afterwards.

You're just speculating on whether the female SS superior acted against the Cartagena agents just to protect her position. Maybe she acted because she is an American woman, and that she was guided by the typical woman's attitude regarding men and hookers. In the past, when the chain of command in the SS was all male, prostitution incidents did not lead to scandals. In the past, male SS superiors chose a different response to prostitution reports. SS agents have done this before, many times, just more discreetly. They are just now reporting that SS agents went to strip clubs and partied with women in El Salvador, and also in Russia 12 years ago.

They did a story on the female SS supervisor. Turns out it was a judgement call, regulations did not demand that the agents be sent home for that kind of behavior. Also, they were part of the advance team. NOT the actual agents who protect the president.

They are now issuing a new SS standards and ethics policy. Even now the policy does not expressly forbid the patronizing of hookers. The rules "prohibit any foreign nationals from entering an agent's hotel room" and bans "patronization of non-reputable establishments." Drinking is still allowed while an agent is off duty, but not within ten hours of an assignment.

The agents pooled their money AFTER they tried to bully the situation and it didn't work. The agents stood guard at the agents room and refused to let hotel security enter (look it up). Their tactics had probably worked many times before but not this time. When hotel security got involved they could have paid her off for 100 USD, but AFTER their bully tactics didn't work and the police arrived then the agents pooled their money Sir. She probably did try to scam the agents but I'm not going to give the agents a pass and blame everyone else as you have.

We can all speculate about the female agent motives, but she covered her ass. Maybe she doesn't follow the " Good ole boys rule" but the agents should have never put her in a position to make that call. The board has moved on beyond this story, and so should we.
