[QUOTE=Kafka;2535254]... The problem right now is there are so many incoming jinteros from so many directions at the Clock Tower no matter what your approach is if you're a single gringo it's not going to be a relaxing situation.....[/QUOTE]I've been using "jinetera" (meaning female jockey) just to mean female prostitutes (especially flaquitas). But does "jinetero" mean any kind of male hustler in Colombia?
[QUOTE=CanyonCruiser;2535022]Make sure your buddy understands there is only air conditioning in the bedroom.[/QUOTE]Was it just broke when you were their? Or not in room at all, because advertising as 2 bedrooms with ac; thanks any more information on place would be great, is location good?

I've been asking around and everyone down there says its all open and like before. I've had apartment owners tell me I can bring back visitors but on their online ads they say no visitors due to covid. I've also been told the casinos are open.
Other than a weekday midnight curfew are things back the way they were? Anyone who is there or has been recently there care to comment?
1) Jintero doesn't mean anything in Colombia. They don't understand it,I picked the word up in Cuba and applies here --to the hustlers and hawkers.
2) I negotiated to deal with Tony a Playa Hollywoid 40 mil for the.
Chair which is too much but OK. Then another 40 for massage. So $25 bucks for long massage and chair. You can probably score a better deal with Oscar or whoever. Be careful where you sit because it can get really noisy and the really bad Beach accordian musicians are at this end of town. Especially when people from Bogota I want to have a drinking fiesta and try to sing before they fall down borracho.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2535220]Guys let me say it again, I can't be more simple and straight than this, look at these punks and after one firm "no thank you, no gracias" after their next blah blah blah say "fuck you you maricon stop molesting me your fucking pervert", then if they continue yell it at them, this is the ONLY thing that works.[/QUOTE]What if they are women, such was the case when me and my dad were at Playa Blanca? Will calling them homosexuals work?

Don't play with words, you know exactly who I am talking about.
I have found that the women vendors / peddlers are by far more mild and although they can pester you just the same it's not the same as a skinny short black costeno with black scamming staring eyes getting right into your face and invading personal space, fuck these scums.
These are the ones I go off on and if others would do the same maybe these fucks will get the word that they are nothing but little shit fucks in our eyes.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2535589]1) Jintero doesn't mean anything in Colombia. They don't understand it,I picked the word up in Cuba and applies here --to the hustlers and hawkers.[/QUOTE]Correct, only in Cuba. Just like "penga", which means penis. Only in Cuba.
Any mongers out there want to get together a hire a really cool boat for the day in Cartagena.
Any one interested in putting together an incredible party boating day where we have 6 to 8 mongers splitting the cost, we will have music and dancing and drinks and and live like a rock star, we will hire / invite 15 chicas with clothing optional.
This would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to just go wild for a day.
To do this right we need at least 6 guys, including myself, and each chip in probably $500. To $700. USD and we would have a blast, photos and video of the event. We are talking about a yacht and not some dingy boat hehehehe.
Of course we need to set a date for the trip and each of us commit to this. I will start to research the boat costs.
Any ideas or interest out there for such an event?
BTW. I did such an event about 4 years ago on a yacht outside of Santa Monica, California. My gawd the photos that I have are worth the price in themselves.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]I would definitely be down for that but not until next December. I'm too close to getting vaccinated at this point and I don't travel to tropical climates in the warmer months. Its too nice where I live (San Diego 25 minutes from Tijuana) to go sweat it out somewhere rainy and I'll be going to Cuba in November to see some regulars that I am missing now.

These chicks would not take we do not want a massage and we do not have money for a massage for an answer. They insisted to massage anyway. Then guess what? After they finished they wanted money. Of course I did not give them any. But would shouting at them and calling them homosexuals as you say works with the men work the same with the ladies? Or what other methods should be undertaken?

I know them and yes they are relentless and when I tell them NO 3 times I next call them for what they are PUTAS and stop molesting me, some have stood their ground and cast their evil stares thinking that their voodoo bull shit works.
Yes I have had yelling matches with a number of them that lasted literally them barking and yelling at me for 100 meters as they retreat to the next gringo.
Have even used the si-lo-mama paisa expression for when a girl asks something of you reply with this which means "sure, just suck my dick".
Never ever allow them to touch you let alone give you a massage no matter what they say. I would not let one of these hoes touch my dog let alone my body.
These women that roam the beaches doing massage have absolutely zero respect for any tourist let alone a gringo or gringa, they will steal from you and their culture ingrains in them that this is retribution for slavery. I know my history and the culture.
Oh and I love Colombia.

Got to town yesterday, lot of hoops to get here and long wait at immigration because lots of people forgot to bring a hard copy of their check mig and pcr and couldn't pull it up on their phones as there is a internet block in the room it seems. Finally got into town, it was busy, went to Delirum, place was empty round 730, then packed in about 5 minutes. Decide to go Colombian the first night, test out the doorman as it seems they have less issues and if you need any other party supplies they deliver the best. The doorman was very cool and told me not to worry, great spot in laguito on the beach, modern, renovated, overlooking the sea, I the apartment was just renovated, its one of those buildings that has a good rep on here. Not luxury but good enough. The night was a bit of a blur, but it was the good kind of blur. What a great place this is. Town is in full party mode, at least here in Laguito, people were up all night partying the in streets on their balconies, so much for curfew. People are wearing masks, but not in restaurants and bars. I was offered 180 an hour from the Venezuelans and 300 from the Colombians, but we found a fair rate of 500 for 3 hours. I spoke to a guy I met here before who is also here now and he is at a well known hotel and had no issues having visitors. There does seem to be a lot of wealthy locals here and not many international tourists, so maybe some of the super luxury buildings are being tight with their owners staying in house. As long as they have ID and are of age its fine. I think the rules are relaxing. Just wear a mask, I heard they are handing out fines. And the locals give you looks if you don't. So best respect the locals. Tonight hitting LDV after dinner somewhere. Hopefully this time I can remember more details of the night. So far my impression for anyone that has not been here before is don't worry too much, whatever you need seems to have a way of finding you here pretty quickly. Good to back in town!

Thanks for your report!
