Cartagena Reports

[quote=mojo bandit;1513070]i have no doubt that the colombian police are professional and i have the upmost respect for them. the nypd are also very professional, and i have the upmost respect for them, but the fact is that the nypd use stop and frisk to keep out the rift raft. the policy has nothing to do with their level of professionalism, it has to do with not wanting rift raft. it also has to do with profiling. they say that the security check points were put in place because of narcoterrorism and farc, now i certainly do not look like anyone in farc and i would hardly fit the profile for the average narcoterrorist. i didn't say anything about being harassed or being shook down (which is what unprofessional police do) i am saying that is possible that single white guys with prepagos are being profiled.[/quote]i don't know what is "rift raft". the police in ctg checks tourists because many of them are drug users. they come to colombia because they think they can do here what they cannot do at home. at least, coca is cheaper. i have seen several idiots buying coca and abusing over any limit.

whenever police stopped me, after a routine check of documents of me and the girl (if any) , they explored my pockets. this happened maybe 10-20 times in my life, and i've been never worried or felt unconfortable. no profiling, because they really don't care about people going with prepagos, and they don't take note of my name. why should they? there's nothing wrong in being with a girl (except the case the girl is ****, but this really seldom happens in ctg). this is not usa.

rift raft can define anyone that certain people do not want around them

[QUOTE=Mojo Bandit;1514286]but I think the secret service got themselves in trouble and disrespected the culture there when they refused to pay the girl, and they got what they deserved.[/QUOTE]Ahaha!

Some of those Secret Service guys, supposedly well qualified:

1) went to PleyClub, that is one of the most famous strip / fuck clubs, where all taxi drivers want to take tourists.

2) brought girls back to their rooms, that is where classified and delicate stuff is supposedly stored.

3) finally claimed "we did not realize they were prostitutes".

At least points 2) and 3) suggest they must be moved to another function.

[QUOTE=Mojo Bandit;1514286], but I think the secret service got themselves in trouble and disrespected the culture there when they refused to pay the girl, and they got what they deserved.[/QUOTE]So there is absolutely NO WAY that the story from the working girl was over exaggerated? $400 for her time! I think the guys took the girls back, they bragged about their jobs and BOOM, the girl wanted more money and he straight up refused which any of us would have done. Since when do ANY OF US pay $400 for a club girl in any part of Colombia? Those are rates for pro women in the US in South Beach. No way she was trying to milk them upfront for that price. Just don't buy it. And how did they disrespect the culture? The culture is girls sleeping with us for money. None of us were there and we only have the girl telling her side of the story. Not once did the agent discuss the facts. Wait, these girls never lie about their work or their rates. LMAO

[QUOTE=Mojo Bandit;1510249]Damn that is a good price. Are you saying that you got it for $3 a pill? We are talking Cialis with the Lilly hologram seal. I go to Olympia and pay like $40 for a weeks supply (4 10mg pills, I cut them in half). Am I in the right conversation or are we talking something else here?[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Mojo Bandit;1510250]Did you shop for the vitamin "C" at Economia Drogueria on the corner?[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Hioctane;1510456]I was searching high and low in Cartagena and Medellin for generic Cialis. They don't make it yet! Real Cialis (with hologram) costs the same as in the States.[/QUOTE]Sorry, I'm currently in Brazil, have not checked this thread. Yes, I'm talking about Cialis, specifically the 5mg. 28 pills. Box has the Lilly Hologram. And it works like it should. Yes, its the Economia Drogueria, across the street from the Hotel Almirante. One has to climb a few steps to enter the store. With the exchange rate, I paid $106. 42USD. I suggest you shop around for the best deal. And if, you leave without buying, some may lower the price. Any specific questions, send an I'm.

Hey guys,

I'm planning a trip to Colombia and will be doing a 10 days each split between Cartagena and Medellin, anyone know some good hotels that are chica friend that are close to the action / nightlife in Cartagena?

Was anyone in CTG this past weekend? I am curious to see what the scene is like during the summerland EDM festival, I know there are TONS of prepagos and "semi-pros" from Medellin in town for the fest, though not necessarily for work. Have LDV and Elektra / Paprika been pretty good lately?

Does anyone know of restaurant / bar on the beach that is open at night. Outdoors prefer if they had a fire that would be a plus.

Thanks.

SS

Hi,

I am heading to CTG for one night for work.

I must use a hotel.

Please don't tell me about apartments.

Does anyone know of a few hotels that will allow one girl in no issues other than maybe a Cedulla check.

Don't really care about the cost.

Thanks in advance.

I don't like clubs, casas, pimps, or mp. I only do man to girl negotiations, freelancers or streetwalkers.

What can I expect to pay for a reasonably attractive woman (6 and above) there short time? I am 60's young looking, handsome they tell me and not fat. I speak a little Spanish, not that much. What are the street girls like there compared to say Mexico or other countries?
