Cartagena Reports

I have a Samsung s5 Mini unlocked.

So, I buy their sim cards.

If your phone is not unlocked, then you could buy their cheap phones.

Or, you can buy an unlocked phone on Amazon, or [URL]www.myworldphone.com[/URL].

[QUOTE=MikeMillen123;1757220]When you guys visit CTG, do you contact your cell provider and purchase their international plan, or do you buy a temporary phone there? I've read a lot of people posting that girls like to use WhatsApp to communicate, so I'm guessing I'm better off buying the international plan for my iPhone?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Newyorkino;1757224]In all reality its a great bargain. Remember we are talking about stunners. 350 k to 500 k LT. That means you get to enjoy that stunner for 12 to 15 hours. You pick her up lets say 11 pm, she is not going home till 1 or 2 in the afternoon the next day and if she really likes you she will stay till she has to work about 6 - 7 pm. In USA stunners are running you about $200 an hour. 350 to 500 K for 12 hours bargain.[/QUOTE]Did you forget you are not in the United States. Also the girls very rarely stay that long.

Iphone 4 or 5 that is unlocked works great. You then put the whatsup on your new prepago phone, Tigo is most popular for chicas, and you are ready. Local chicas also like the facebook messenger, most of the visiting models / putas use whatsup. It is easier than trying to use your USA phone.

[QUOTE=TBrog1;1757388]Went to the Pley Club this evening. I will say this very simply, I've been to strip clubs around the world and per square foot I have not seen more beautiful women then at the Pley Club. Whoever owns this club truly knows how to book talent! This is one of those places where you have to really sit back and study the women there to make sure you don't shortchange yourself, because every time you think you found the most beautiful one in there another one comes around the corner and changes your mind!

Good luck and good hunting![/QUOTE]I'm heading back to Cartagena and Pley Club soon. Are the prices at Pley still the same (250 k an hour 400 k take home) or did it go up?

Actually my friend, stunners in the US are running $350 USD per hour and around $2000 USD minimum for 12 hours which is waaaaaay overpriced. I'm talking obviously about women in Chicago, NY, Miami.

By the way, that's not always the case too. A lot more stunners here are now 400 and 500 per hour. And the funny part is the service might be shit too.

Colombia is definitely a deal even though relative to them, I still think it should be a little cheaper.

Comparing the local prices with the fees in USA, without taking into account the different average salaries and especially the fact that in USA it's illegal whilr here it comes easy, it's a methodological mistake, which unfortunately hinders the life of all mongers.

A very good example although dated is the Viet Nam war. The price of pussy at the start was $5. It did not take long for the price to become $20.

As long as you have guys coming down in droves with the mindset of "hey on vacation " or they insist on keeping the ludicrous USA prices in the forefront when dealing with people in a completely different economic environment you will have self generated inflation. No politicos to blame, just look in the mirror.

Yes I know " it is my money, and I'll do want I want with it. " In that case keep up the good work.

"It is being overrun by gringos. " "It will turn into the next Costa Rica. " "It is too dangerous. You shouldn't come. " It still hasn't happened and I'm still going. The barrier to more gringos going is still the same. The language barrier. Most girls still do not know English.

[QUOTE=JohnGault;1756917]It would work I'm sure if a price no more than 200 K would be the final offer a guy makes in CTG. Sure you may get a few who would walk away, but I'll bet most would accept the offer if they put their pride away. And took that fair price. Now to be clear I'm talking about CTG. In other cities in Colombia things are less expensive than CTG so that would make for a more reasonable price.

If you fellows want to pay top dollar prices than don't go to the trouble to travel out of the country. Just stay in the USA.[/QUOTE]You could get away with 200 k with a street girl, but in a place like Pley Club or LDV, it is pretty hard.

I fucking hate it, and it drives me crazy when I hear and see people giving girls these ridiculous prices, and then saying "So what, it is my money and I am on vacation". That is very true, but it does influence what the girls will try to charge in the future. It only take a few marbles to see what drives prices up. It is all about what you can get, and if people pay what is above the normal asking price for anything, then that price becomes the norm, especially in the sex industry because they all talk.

[QUOTE=JellyDonut;1755932]I'm sure you know, the police set up an occasional roadblock as you're either coming in or out of Bocogrande and one of the things they specifically seem to look for are unauthorized motos carrying tourists. Some bikers will not take you down there. The licensed motos used to (still?) wear a colored vest and carry an extra helmet with them. Getting a ride on a moto used to be really easy, but it seems like it's become harder over time. I've been able to get rides recently into and out of Bocogrande but I'm not sure if the guys I was riding with were official moto taxis or not. It is way cheaper than a taxi and a much faster way to get around the city when traffic is tight.[/QUOTE]I don't know about way cheaper. Going from Laguito to the old city is only 6-7 k. Maybe a couple pesos more at night. How much cheaper can it get? A couple extra pesos more for safety, comfort and AC. If you have a couple of friends going, it makes it even cheaper.

[QUOTE=Hioctane;1760197]You could get away with 200 k with a street girl, but in a place like Pley Club or LDV, it is pretty hard.[/QUOTE]I have spent at least 1/2 my time in Cartagena / Colombia for 15 years. Much has changed. Shit, much has changed everywhere. Price of sex is what you will pay for most chicas, varies from 80,000 to 500,000. 2 old buddies were just here and paid 200,000 without negotiating at LDV. I have been there for about 2 hours in 5 years. Used to pull beach chicas daily but that is in the past also, anywhere from 120,000 to 200,000. I do not accept that you are ruining the puta economy if you pay too much, too many chicas for that line to be true. I know guys that pay a lot, they get good service and that is ok, not a big deal to them. I like the 18-22 year old College chicas that are from Cartagena, not street putas and most really enjoy sex. In the morning I take my young Jack Russell to the playa between 6 and 7, always see the street putas coming and going at the Israeli place called Benjamins, think they pay big bucks? If you are counting pesos or somewhat "thrifty" maybe you should visit Haiti, probably cheap there. Got game? Mmmmm, best have a few pesos too. Most chicas in Colombia need financial support more than a pretty boy. IMHO By the way, 200,000 is about $70 today. I remember when the peso was 1650, enjoy it now.

It did not take long for the price to become $20.[/QUOTE]So that is why she had the balls to ask for $15 and he was like hell no, $5. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BlpecFVIq8[/URL].

[QUOTE=LocoGringo;1760236]By the way, 200,000 is about $70 today. I remember when the peso was 1650, enjoy it now.[/QUOTE]Exactly. But when these guys get through not minding paying 300,000 now because it is only $100 and way cheaper than home and it is their money and they are on vacation, then they leave having set a precedent and the shit swings back to 1650 then everybody else is stuck paying $181.

I am importing my chica from Medellin and the Hotel Dann has some great specials so I will be there. 4 nights with one diner, breakfast daily, fast WiFi, suite with balcony 1, 330,000. Cop including everything or about us $458. I know that this is not an ideal mongering place.

Exchanging money? Safe, ease and good rate? At airport is there any special place? Near hotel, is there any specific place? My visa after fees is exchanging at just under $2900=us $1.

Citibank or other recommended ATM near Hotel Dann?

Sim card purchase at airport or near hotel. Looking for easy more than to save us $2.

Hotel for airport pick-up wants cop $29,000. + tax. Which cab or airport car services are reliable, safe and reasonably priced?

Place to buy a case of bottled water near Hotel Dann?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bob.
