Quito

[QUOTE=Davidb3069]It seems to me that the poverty in Quito (can't speak for other cities, haven't been there) isn't nearly as bad as say Cartagena.

David[/QUOTE]Hi and thank you for your posts in CTG and QUito forums. Very informative.

I contemplated a trip to CTG. I read that prices for providers was like 50 - 75. Doesnt seem much of a bargain.

So then, why are prices for el chocho so much higher in CTG than in Quito ?

A newbie mongerer wants to know

[QUOTE=Meat Loaf]"Water Boy,"

You should consider mongering the region: Quito, Ecuador; take the bus to Cali, Colombia (9 year bus ride;) monger Cali, Colombia.[/QUOTE]Hola, Don Loaf -

OK, so I took your advice and walked from Casa 14 to Vale Nada. No problem.

Now, you are telling to me to go to Cali, one of the most violent cities in Colombia ?

Hell no.. I'll back to MGA and walk from Casa 14 to Vale NAda about 100 times instead.

[QUOTE=Davidb3069]It seems to me that the poverty in Quito (can't speak for other cities, haven't been there) isn't nearly as bad as say Cartagena. The poverty seems to drive the attitudes of the women. The girls don't want their family to know what they do for a living. The non-hookers don't want to be viewed as a hooker. They don't give it up as quickly probably because their not as desperate and they don't want to look the part. In Colombia, all gloves are off. They do what they have to do to survive. Quito seems to be a much more thriving metropolis compared to Cartagena which is choked by drugs and poverty. Even the taxi drivers between the two cities are different: they are better dressed and more professional in Quito. In Cartagena, many of the taxi drivers double as drug dealers and they seem pretty sleezy. Of course, it's not true of all of them, but seems to be much more prevalent.

David[/QUOTE]I know this a Quito, Ecuador, forum, but how is the scene in Cartagena? The prices for hookers and SW? I always thought Cartagena would be expensive due to tourists, but is it?

Help!

I Need the number of a freindly taxista in Quito.

Want to have someone trustworthy to pick me up in Quito.

Can anyone provide?

You guys got any probs with that high altitude sickness in Quito or what?

On that La paz in Bolivia is a real pain.

[QUOTE=Davidb3069] . .. As I've noted before, Guajira is no longer taking $100 bills. The owner says no because the bank is giving them grief. I got the manager to change one for me last trip...but I am a regular there and spend a lot of time and $$. They didn't even do it for me easily.David[/QUOTE]I almost always had the bank tellers cash my 50 & 100 usd traveler's checks in $5 bills. I'd often have to carry home wads of them.

I can hardly remember how the ATMs there dispensed their cash (or if I even used them more than a couple times). I think that I took 100 - 200 usd in $20 bills from the ATM inside to the teller and had them changed to 5s without any flack. I felt pretty sure they understood how necessary it normally is.

The traveler's checks were not easily cashed at most banks nor without a high fees at tourist cashing places. The EXCEPTION a bank (think it's called [b][u]Produbanco[/u][/b]) on Amazonas at Washington (near the Hilton) [b]or[/b] on the 2nd level by the food court at the Quicentro Mall [b]or[/b] at the 2nd level at the little plaza/mall at 6 de Deciembre & La Niña with the supermarket in it (near the chongos Guajira, La Niña, & at least one other).

I've gone so far as to get the Hilton Colon to break some larger bills.

Before I leave for Quito, I go to my local bank here in the US and I get $500 in small bills ($1's, $5's and $10's). That lasts me for about 2 weeks maybe. The ATMs I've used all give $20 bills. Never seen them do anything smaller. If you buy something in busier restaurants/cafes/bars and give them a $20 you can usually get change with no problem. Except for those stupid $1 coins they love to hand out. It's hard to find $1 paper bills.

Traveler's checks used to be as good as cash back even 5 years ago. These days it's getting tougher to find places to take them. They did save my a** back a few years ago in Italy though when I forgot a pouch with cash/traveler's checks on a restaurant table on a train. The next day my pouch turned up minus the cash. The checks I put a stop payment on and then re-activated them the next day when I had them again. That saved my trip right there.

The ATMs usually give all $20s with just several $10s. For a $200 withdrawal, I would get 9 $20s and 2 $10s. Using travelers checks is usually a bad idea almost anywhere. I travel with $500 in AmEx travelers checks, but never use them. They are only there as a back-up for an emergency situation.

There is no need to bring or use $100 bills. Depending on the length of your trip, bring $300-$500 in small bills ($10 or under) and get what else you need from an ATM. I try NOT to use credit cards, especially in latin america. Most places here will not take them - except fancy restaurants, expensive hotels.

I spent a month in Quito and it only cost me around $1200 (+ free airfare) - including $400 rent and $200 spanish lessons. Total cost of clubs, chicas, drinks and massages for a month = $259. Amazing . . .

Regarding the Non Pro scene as raised by Water Boy: I don’t claim to know much, but happy to share what I know. I’ve had several non-pro experiences, and here are a couple. I apologize if I bore anyone, I don’t contribute often so I’m kind of a rookie in this forum.

First, the Colombia-Ecuador difference is real, but it’s possibly more of a mountain-coast difference. The warm coastal climate makes the people more “abierta” (open). Everything is more laid back on the coast, including the promiscuity. Quito, being in the chilly mountains, is much more conservative. (Bogotá is the same way, where Cartagena is wide open).

My Non Pro Quito Experiences:

I met 2 Quiteñas on line, both single with no kids, but in their mid to late 20s which makes them old maids by Ecuadorian standards. They were quite happy to go out, even kiss a little, but it was obvious that it would have taken several dates and the possibility of some kind of relationship to get them naked. One told me after quite a bit of time invested that she was looking to start a family and didn’t want to waste her time. (However, I still wonder what she would have done if I became more forward.)

My Non Pro Guayaquil Experiences (I realize that this is the Quito forum, but the topic is the local non-pros and I include this for comparison as Guayaquil is hot and coastal):

1. I once picked up a girl in the nice part of Guayaquil, right in the park near the Malecón in the afternoon. This is quite rare, but it happened that she was there with her cousin and aunt and uncle, doing some kind of quick errand. I made goo-goo eyes at her, and as she got in the car to leave, she dropped a crumpled up piece of paper with her cell phone number on it. I retrieved the paper, called her later, and she came down and we had a bite to eat along the Malecón, walked around, then went up to my room and she spent the night after calling her aunt to say that she was staying at a friend’s place.

She was young, 19, and said she had a kid. In the morning, I was quite confused about trying to pay her something as she acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about. I became uncomfortable because I didn’t want to imply that she was a prostitute by simply asking “how much”? I ended up giving her money for a prescription she had for some minor injury she sustained in a car accident the day before. It was like $35.00 I think.

2. I met a nice Guayaca on line, an office worker, exchanged messages and photos, and we met near the Malecón. We got an early bite to eat, then I took her to my hotel to show her some photos and we started kissing immediately in the elevator. I didn’t try anything upstairs, choosing to play it cool because she kept talking about her family: Parents, brothers, their wives and kids, etc…..all of no interest to me. I went out with her and her friend the next day, and her friend said that if I were to see her dance I would never leave Guayaquil. We are still in touch and perhaps next time I will try to get physical.

My Non Pro Bogotá Experience: I met a girl on line, she was thrilled to meet me at a mall in Bogotá. A single mother in her late 20s, very cute with an office type job. After spending the day together, I tried to give her some kisses while out walking, and she resisted and was startled. I left Bogotá the next day and later on line and on the phone I told her that it’s OK if she’s not interested in me, and she became very apologetic and promised to make my next visit very “especial”. We’ll see.

The one thing that noticed with the Latinas is that they LOVE it if you compliment them and tell them that they arouse you. I didn’t do this enough, but it seems to drive them crazy and is the best route to get them to give it up. It’s kind of ironic that in a society which is so indirect about everything, they are quite open about sex and physical attraction (just don’t try to discuss it if anyone else nearby can hear you).

Of course, there are exceptions to all trends. Again, sorry if I’ve been boring, I really don’t know if this stuff is of interest or not.

[QUOTE=Col Bog 1]

We got naked and Andrea left me take some pictures and then said stop it, let’s go to action!

[/QUOTE]
Nice pics, Col Bog1. But is it just me, or has Andrea put on quite a bit of weight? If I remember correctly, she used to have a waist. And her tits don't look as firm as I remember them being. Did she pop out another hijo?

Guys, buy these girls fewer Pilsners and more fichas!

I am going to quito soon. I just need a good reliable taxista who can pick me up at the airport and drive me around town.

Can anyone email me the phone number of a good taxista?

She looked hot in the dress she was wearing when I tapped her. Did seem a little heavier in that pic than even 2 months ago. Maybe she's prego.

So are you saying that:

1.) Water Boy should NOT waste his time with regular chicas in Quito?

2.) znd Water boy SHOULD trry to go out with regular Guayaquil chica?

Perhaps this explains this phenomenon:

1. Quito has only 3/4 of the population of Guayquil, but has 10 times as many brothels. The regular girls in Guayquil put out, therefore a big brothel industry is not suportable.

thank you

[QUOTE=Pato1]Non Pro Scene[/QUOTE]When dealing with non-pros, I usually date them for about 1-month, before I attempt to fuck them. It always works and make it appear that I'm a nice guy or "why isn't this guy trying to fuck me?" He must be fucking someone else.

With pros, I usually talk to them for about two weeks before fucking them.

Obviously, I'm always keeping the stables stocked 'cause if I'm horny today, I don't want to wait 1-month to screw. Of course, I'm not spending too much money trying to impress either-type of female.
