Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=MikeMillen123;1749687]Thanks for the advice. I considered that, too, but I pumped the brakes since the link to the penthouse isn't working and I couldn't see the pictures. Have you (or anyone else) ever stayed at that playa Mar. Penthouse? Is it nice? Close to everything? All that stuff. It's looking more and more likely that it's going to be 5 guys instead of 6, so I'd like to get this place if it has good reviews from you guys and it's available.[/QUOTE]Yes, my recommendation of the penthouse and 301 is based on multiple stays in both. If it wasn't nice, I wouldn't have stayed in either, nor recommended to you. The Playa Mar building is in Laguito, which is close to most places that tourists frequent, including those there to fish for Colombianas. Write Juan and mention the Penthouse website is down. There is also a FB page for the Penthouse with photos. For photos of 301, visit Juans Venpro web page.

[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;1750171]Thanks much for your long response and the time in particular. Here is one question, specifically for you, given your background: what do you think are the essential differences between a Colombian and a Dominican. If such a comparison were indeed feasible.[/QUOTE]T,

That is a great question and I don't know if I can answer this well as it is too broad for me to answer. Perhaps a book could be written with that question. I also don't know if this is the proper forum to talk about this since this is the Cartagena thread. In any case, I find more similarities in both Colombians and Dominicans than differences. In fact, and because of the similarities, I have felt quite at home in my three trips to Colombia. But lets talk about some of the differences that I find, in particular about the P4P women since this board is more about women than anything else. This is my personal experience and view and I am pretty sure many will disagree as everyone will have their own experiences. Please note, I have only been to Medellin, Cartagena, and Barranquilla, so I am not an expert and my experience is still very limited. One difference I find is that Dominican chicas are pure hustlers and more needy than the Colombianas. Even though the DR girls tend to be hustlers, I also have found they are more affectionate than the Colombianas and found way more of the GF experience with DR chicas than with Colombians. That experience may have to do with the fact that I am Dominican born, but I don't know. In the DR, after you fuck or while you fucking a chica, she will be scanning your stuff, your condoms, phones, watch, creams, oils, etc. After a session if she gets a hold of something she wants or of value, she will go, "ay papi, mi amor, no seas malo, dame unos condones and that coconut oil, dame ese Iphone 4 porque tu ya tienes dos celulares why el 5" "don't be bad to me Papi, my love, give me some condoms and the coconut oil, or that Iphone 4 since you have two phones and the 5". If she sees you weak in that department and you say yes, then she will keep asking for more stuff and always in a playful affectionate way until you melt or begin to feel sorry for her. She may ask you to be her boyfriend as you will become a potential WU boyfriend. The Colombian chicas no so much or at least not in my case. Not a single Colombian puta that I have met with have ever asked me for my Condoms, my cream, my oil, phone, etc. In the DR, you have to get used to the girls being hustlers and needy and you have to become a hustler with them as well or you will lose. Well, so far I like the Colombianas and the DR chicas. The Colombian chicas seem to have a higher sense of pride and more self steam than DR chicas. The DR don't give a fuck about pride and just ask for shit all the time even if it is the first encounter. I also find the Colombian chicas more mechanical for sex and more business like. The Dominican are wilder and explosive bipolar types, passionate and clingy. I don't know if this neediness comes from the terrible DR economy or because they earn less than Colombians. For sure, Colombian putas have a more steady stream of income than the DR chicas and the economy is better in Colombian than the DR. Luckily, I haven't met any chica hustler in Colombia as of yet. The Colombian chicas also have financial problems and babies to take care, rent to pay and numerous family problems as girls in the DR, but they tend to much quieter about their personal life, and the girls tend to be more professional about their job with some exceptions of course. This is not to say that you won't find puta hustlers and needy girls in Colombia because they are many out there too and also some that want a WU boyfriend. The Colombian girls are or have been sweet to me but GF experience have been lesser in Colombia than DR, and Colombian girls asking me to be their boyfriend also have been fewer than DR. I think the Colombian putas like to be pursued a little to get the GF experience at least more so than the DR chicas. I encourage you to make a trip to Colombia soon. I think you will enjoy these girls and the culture just as you enjoy the DR.

Hey Gents.

First time posting in this forum. I have posted many time in the DR forum but have been venturing to CTG over the past few years. I have not been to many P4 P places in CTG as of yet. I know a good amount of spanish and have been lucky enough to score some regular chicas in my time. That being said I am ready to venture out on my next trip. I am looking for daytime casas if any. Also can anyone report on the casas by the Bombero Esso de Amparo like Chicas lindas etc?

Thanks.

Flaco.

For those who have dealt with Juan: he asked for a down payment via Western Union or PayPal. Is this common practice? I opted for PayPal because Western Union is always a red flag for me.

Or just making a booking with a simple email without any advance payment?

Juan has a solid record of business for many years. You are new to this forum and also first-time customer with him. He is the one who must be cautious, not you.

Pay for the balance of your stay in cash after you are there in your apartment. Juan"s as solid as they come. There are many here who have rented from him. I can recommend renting from Juan without hesitation.

Did you go with the 2 aparments suggested? If so, they should make for an ideal combinatio for 5 guys. Hopefully they were available, as I know he's been pretty full this month and probably is for August as well.

I am not a Sosua enthusiast so I cannot really comment but I enjoyed knowing DR women and as you said, I find the DR women to be warm which is why I asked about the difference with the Colombianas. I guess I will have to explore Colombia to find my own answer but it is nice to know that you can find GF experience in Colombia as well. Thanks again.

P.S: I am surprised about the condom request from DR women, never saw that but why would they need those?

Of course I'm dealing with Juan because all of you recommended him. I went ahead and booked the 2 apartments like you guys recommended, so I'm definitely excited for that. Thanks again to all of you that helped me out. I'm looking forward to reading more reports and posting my own.

P.S: I am surprised about the condom request from DR women, never saw that but why would they needthose?[/QUOTE]The condom request from DR chicas may have to do with Condoms being very expensive in DR (one condom is more expensive than a motoconcho trip of 400 pesos). Think about it if they get free condoms from a customer, that is a big cut on their expenses as they won't need to buy them for their own use. In regards to GF experiences, the Colombianas in general are affectionate types, similar to DR women, so you will have no trouble with finding GF among the regular population and chicas if that is what you are looking for. I find the the putas a little less GF than the DR. Also, I would be more successful in the GF department if chose to pursue them romantically a little but I don't because I am normally not looking to make long term love connections, and I don't really care about the GF experience, just in some rare occasions. I think that Colombian women like to be pursued romantically. Even the putas in the bars like to be pursued. They tend to sit down in tables or at the bar waiting for customers to approach them because that is their nature, way more passive than DR chicas. As you already know, the DR putas will approach you aggressively in most places as this is how most operate. Another difference that I find between Colombians and Dominicans is in the way they party. Both cultures like to party, but the Colombians like to party in large groups. And when I say large groups I say massive groups of 10-20 people, and even more. I notice those massive groups in several clubs whenever I went out at night in Medellin. Going to the regular clubs and discos in Medellin was not fun for me to go solo because most people go out in large groups and you rarely see people alone, man or women. I still have not figured out how is that they are able to organize those massive groups and I am curious about the bill paying protocol in those party groups.

In regards to the prices of Cartagena and Medellin, Medellin is significantly cheaper than Carta. Since this is the Cartagena thread let me leave you with some places to visit if you decide to go to Carta:

1) Casa de Rocio (house of dew) Calle Benjamin Herrera (Transversal 42)# 24-34, Bruselas, 120 K (42 USD) an hour, chicas from all over Colombia (Cali, medellin, Carta, Santa Marta, Barranquilla, etc) live in this casa, rooms to fuck inside, a nice bar inside to drink and chat with the girls, take a taxi there or a public bus to the main park in Bruselas.

2) El Paraiso del Marino (Nuevo Campestre), Carrera 56 # 56 B 51 at Calle 10. This club is about 25 minutes by car from city center. It is a expensive club. 60 k Room Fee. 160 k-200 K 60 min, exit fee 130 k, Chica 200 k.

3) Tu Candela Bar. Right inside the Famous Clock Tower in Old City Cartagena. Open every day 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM.

4) the Clock tower. Check the clocktower at night because many free lancer are walking around there.

5) Playa Hollywood in Bocagrande, This is the beach where most girls go looking for gingos, it is also where Tony thehustler has his umbrella post. You may want to check Tony's extensive listings of girls. Watch out for the sea food vendors and massage girls because they are annoying trying to hustled you and you have to tell them to go away.

6) LDV (La Dolce Vita bar disco) [URL]https://twitter.com/ladolcevitabar[/URL] at Avenida Lagito in Bocogrande (next to the casino, Bocagrande). Girls here tend to ask a lot $200- $300 for 1 hour, but all is negotiable and you can get lower price depending on girls look, your look and your negotiating skills. Its One of the most popular freelance bar in all of Carta, lots of hot girls here. Daily 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM. Girls go to Elektra after closing time to continue partying.

7) Elektra, Calle El Tablon and Avenida Es Callon (Centro). The party starts here after 3:00 am. They have a cover charge of just over $5. Lots of freelancers come here after other bars close. Price negotiable with the girls. 2 A-8:00 am.

Thanks for nothing.

Found some cheap ticket on jet blue. I'm about to click the buy button. Land in Cartagena and take bus to Barr. How long is the bus trip?

Thanks for nothing.[/QUOTE]You specifically asked about daytime casas. I can't provide any helpful first hand info on casas. There is helpful info on this thread and the Cartagena List thread if you are willing to put forth a little effort in looking.

An efficient way in learning what casas others have been to can be gained by using the search feature. That and the Cartagena List thread is where I'd start if I was interested in learning about casas in CTG.
