LDV New Minimum Drinking Rule 100, 000 COP
Interesting new rule at LDV: You must spend at least 100, 000 COP to take out the lady. So before I believe it was minimum 2 drinks with the lady. I had a beer 10k, the lady 2 margaritas at 20k each, total of 50k was not enough. She ordered another margarita me a Cuba libre, it was a little annoying. Why don't they just take a bar fine to make it easier? She told me it was the new rule set by Aldo (I think that is the owner?)
Everywhere is the answer to your question
[QUOTE=GolferFun;1441378]I have heard that in Cartagena you don't necessarily have to go to a nightclub to find "chicas"; does anybody know the names of bars or hotels where girls hang out to meet their clients? Probably in the old city? Does this happen to be true in Cafe del Mar, and does it still exist? I'm planning to be there in the near future.[/QUOTE]There are working girls all over the tourist parts of Cartagena, just not heavily concentrated one one spot like electra or LDV or Hollywood beach or. Er. Uh Playa Hollywood (yes these are the hotspots for freelancers, but you will see them in the Plazas, the Plaza Santa Domingo, the Plaza de Los Coches, walking the streets in the old city, and yes. Cafe Del Mar. You can usually spot semi or pro chicas because they dress a little nicer and a little more prevocative than Colombianas that just out for stroll, and if she is dressed nice and she gives your gringo ass a smile. Definately a working girl.
Now I just posted this a few post back so I must give you the traditional scolding for not reading the Boards. Read the boards. In between all the meaningless (meaningless to you) conversations on this board there is a wealth of information. But just this once I am going to make like a leprechaun and lead you to a pot of Gold. Go to the top of the posts and look at your page you are now on, scroll toward the top and just when the page turns whitish grey you see a series of links. Forum South America Colombia Cartagena Reports Now you want to click on Colombia, when the list of threads comes up, scroll down to Cartagena Lists, Click On This, then scroll down until you see Hillbilly69 as the poster. Inside this post is a link to a map that Hillybilly69 has made of ALL THINGS CARTAGENA. Use it and thank Hillbilly69 when you see one of his posts.
LDV is getting greedy huh?

Are they doing anything different?
Where is the famous map Hillbilly69 posted?

Here are the instructions that I gave.

At the top of the WHITE part of THIS PAGF YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING you will see something very similar to what follows this sentence next to a HOME PAGE symbol:
Forum > South >America Colombia >Cartagena Reports. (there are arrows between the words but I cant type those arrows)
This signifies that you are in the FORUM, in the SOUTH AMERICA section, in the COLOMBIA Forum of the SOUTH AMERICA section and you are looking at CARTAGENA REPORTS.
Now I am giving you the shortcut to get to the CARTAGENA LISTS (where the link to Hillbilly69's Google map that he edited) reports for the COLOMBIA section of the SOUTH AMERICA section.
You go to the top of the white page you are currently on where you see that string of links;
Forum South America Colombia Cartagena Reports (with arrows in between and a HOME page symbol at the beginning)
It says Cartagena Reports at the end because you are reading Cartagena Reports, but you want to go to Cartagena Lists, so you:
Click on Colombia (which is between South America and Cartagena Reports ) to take you back to The Colombia Forum where all the City and region reports of Colombia are listed, where it lists Bogota Reports, Cartagena Reports, Cali Reports, Medellin Reports etc. All these items are next to images of envelopes (you will see when you get there)
So in that string of Links at the top of the white page you are on, the string of Links that looks similar to this:
Forum South America Colombia Cartagena Reports.
You click you mouse on "Colombia".
This takes you to the "Colombia Forum" where it lists Bogota Reports, Cartagena Reports, Cali Reports, Medellin Reports etc. All next to images of envelopes (you will see when you get there)
Once you are back in the Colombia Forum. Scroll down that list past where it says Bogota Reports, Cartagena Reports, Cali Reports, Medellin Reports etc to the 13th item that says "Cartagena Lists" CLICK ON Cartagena Lists.
Then scroll down and find Hillbilly69's post (it was the sixth post down from the last post it was posted on 4-9-13) , in his post he is talking about a restaurant called Requisimos, but at the bottom of his post is a link to his Map.
It looks like this:
[url]https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U.06d2b411420a83[/url]
But the link I copy and paste is not a whole link because the post only shows part of it, so when I copy and paste it, it is not "Clickable" (I don't know why)
If you still cannot find it post again, and I will try to explain it better
I tried to click on the link to the map and when it took me to the map I copied the URL from my browser and it looks like this:
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=202115846141467908565.0004a0706d2b411420a83&dg=feature
So if the moderator does not close this post because it should be in Cartagena lists, just copy and paste this in your browser
Perfect thanks mojo bandit. Was able to open the map with your link.
Sorry for the bother.

Re LDV New Minimum Drinking Rule 100, 000 COP
A little bit more detail to show how fucked up this new rule is, this happened to me twice:
I talk to a girl and ask her to join me at my table, it's like 1am or so. Girl orders a drink, like a Margarita. After 30 minutes or so of chit chatting I ask her if we should leave, and she tells me she needs to order 2 more drinks, per Aldo. She orders another Margarita, drinks it in a rush in a few minutes and orders another one, dirnks that one also in a few minutes so we can go. This happened to me with 2 girls. I like it when they get drunk, but in both cases the girls couldn't handle it and got too drunk to fast. First girl recovered after a little, so it was ok. Second girl, after an hour or so puked right onto my floor, she was very sorry and cleand up. The first girl gave me her number and I called her bypassing LDV completely, she came straight to my place.
I usually sit down at LDV and order a bottle of Rum and enjoy the night, the chica scene, and I am not a cheapo. No problem spending 100 COP, but I won't take this nonsense rule anymore, next time, when I am ready to leave, the girl can meet me outside after 10 minutes or so, or find herself another dude, I am not that desperate, there are plenty of other chicas in CTG to have. May be LDV should just require a bar fine of 50ok COP or so.
Electra Open But not Fun, rather scary
I wanted to check out Electra and went at 3am. The staff was very unfriendly, kind of desperate, right away they asked me about ordering a drink. First Cuba Libre had no rum in it, I think they just forgot to add it. Half hour later I am standing by the door and the dude at the door tells me I need to consume drinks. I told him I just finished a Cuba Libre. Then I went to the bar and made sure my next Cuba Libre had some rum in it! 15, 000 COP per drink, a small drink (you can buy a 375ml bottle of Medellin rum for 15, 000 COP)! They are getting desperate I guess not having to close again. Quite a few women, but lots of trash, I. E. Left overs who couldn't find a dude, and probably some girls trying to get a second dude. Also, many of the dudes were pretty drunk and quite aggravated for whatever reason (may be on other drugs). Usually I like to enjoy the music a little at Electra, but the place was just not my kind of place, so I left after an hour or so.
