He's never been a popular guy. Known him a long time, never liked his style. Then again, if he is a pimp what is the mansion? Nobody likes poor old black Tony but it's Colombia, pimps in the University, etc. I actually talked to him the only time I was there in 9 months. He seems to be doing well, also the late night place in the old city. Remember folks, the greatest natural resource in Colombia is the chicas. Exported all over Latin america and a few in the USA.
[QUOTE=Hilltopper;1689179]Then the question begs: Is it okay for the maid and others there in your building to let folks always stay at your apartment in Laguito for free, or do you charge something to rent out your place in an effort to turn a profit? If your apartment is an investment rental property for you, then I presume you are in it to turn a profit, yes?
In the 8 years I've been going to LDV and known the owner, Aldo, he has been in the business to turn a profit. Like most business owners, you sometimes have to implement changes and tweak your business model. What happens when too many guys only want to pull chicas and not patronize the bar? What happens if every guy only goes to LDV to hook-up with chicas and get numbers, but spends nothing?
I have no empathy for guys who want to complain about someone at LDV telling them they need to drink. Duh! In all the times I've been there I have never had a word mentioned to me. Why? Because I order something to drink upon arrival; that's what one does at a bar, LOL. If I were to rent your apartment, I'd pay you rent; I presume that's what one does when they stay at your apartment.[/QUOTE]Not sure why you trolled my comment from over a month ago. Didn't realize you were the King of the Cartagena section. My apologies if your rules don't apply to me. I'll buy you a bottle when I visit LDV at the end of March. Let's clear the air over drinks.

Hilltopper does not claim to be a King of anything, but he is very well informed on what is happening in Cartagena, and is always willing to share useful information with others that is accurate. I hope like I hell I run into you someday myself, since I travel frequently between Santa Marta and Cartagena, and we will see what kind of a smartasss you are. I am pretty sure you would not talk to me like you are to Hilltopper on this forum. Post your travel dates to Cartagena in the Travel Annoucement thread, and I then can contact you via the personal messaging.
There's something I like in CTG.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1690292]There's something I like in CTG.[/QUOTE]That is very likable!
Good work on that one it looks top shelf.
That's nice! I been here 3 days. Great weather. Has been windy at beach a couple days. Only Tuesday was to windy for beach. All clubs are popping met some good guys this trip.

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1690292]There's something I like in CTG.[/QUOTE]Very nice, indeed! Viva Cartagena! Just have her hangout with you there for a couple more weeks and I'll be sure to pick-up where you left off. <said with sheepish grin>
Keep on keeping on!

Was windy a couple of weeks ago as well, but I personally like the Feb to Mar breeze as it tends to break-up the humidity, especially in the night. Actually enjoyed wearing a long-sleeve shirt one night on last visit.

I saw it and used it from a discussion this week where YouCan quoted something from Joey. Even if I or anyone else quoted something from a month or even further back, so what? All that means is that one actually takes the time to read back through older posts to glean info. Hell, I wish more people took the time to read back through older posts; there's much there to be learned, especially posts from the 2006 - 2009 period of time.
Old Parr, you are certainly right, I don't claim to be a King of anything, and I certainly don't make the rules here on this forum, in CTG or anywhere else other than in my own house (although I do admit to liking it when a Colombiana calls me "mi rey", LOL) . Thank you for the kind words.
Joey, if you are reading, all I was doing was basically trying to get you to walk in another man's shoes to understand a point of view. You indicate you have an apartment in CTG, I asked if you would like it if people stayed there for free, not paying you rent. Just trying to use an analogy to get you to consider another viewpoint toward Aldo attempting to get some guys to buy drinks when they patronize LDV.
I remember when you said some renter did something to your apartment and you couldn't rent it out for awhile. You referred to the guy as "some asshole". I assumed the derogatory reference included the fact that the guy caused you lost rent. Knowing how you felt when you couldn't rent out your apartment and lost rents is how another guy feels when someone else takes advantage of the goods and services he's trying to provide and doesn't want to provide any economic benefit in return.
That's all that I tried to do. How you got "troll", "King of Cartagena" and my "rules" from my question to you is beyond me. Maybe you started early on that bottle or something? <humor attempt> .

I love her. I can't bear the idea someone else be naughty with her.

I'll share my attorney amiga in exchange! She's great in bed; not sure how good she is with contracts, lol.
Plus I'm certain that fine ass needs some rubbing while your away. I promise to just keep her on simmer until your return, lol.

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1690433]She promised to wait for me.[/QUOTE]I'm certain she will, amigo, but better for me to keep her on simmer in Laguito while waiting for you versus Pedro, Juan, Carlos and Luis trying to coax her out of her panties back in the barrio.
Like I said, I promise to only rub on that fine ass and keep her warm waiting for you. Just massage that ass with some warm oil, nothing more, I promise, amigo.
I go to Cartagena about once per year and usually stay in ElCentro so rarely stray to LDV as I find the pickings to the discriminating traveler in Reloj to be more convenient. The two occasions I did go to LDV, I was asked to buy an expensive drink for the lady before I left, which I found off putting as I already had purchased my own drink.
I have since read on this forum that it's expected one purchase a minimum amount or somewhere in the range of $50. Once I read that, I decided not to go at all since in my view there is generally enough talent in the plaza on any given night and the drinks purchased from the outdoor kiosks there are cheap. Plus, it's outside and you can actually have a conversation with the girl or other people.
I don't have an objection to buying a drink or even to pay a modest cover charge but I do have a problem with paying up to $50 just to meet girls as many end up in the Plaza at some point anyway. So, how much do you have to buy in drinks?
I completely understand that. For mr I allways buy a bottle of rum. And it's so cheap it doesn't matter. Rum tips for both waiter and door guy is never more than 180.00 peso and. I enjoy it with or without a chica.
