Cartagena Reports

Did a dupla last night with two chicas who work in the LDV. They were complaining that there are very few guys coming to the LDV now.

I mentioned this to a friend today who also lives here. It was his opinion that the lack of business serves them right. He lives across the street from LDV. He won't go there. He doesn't like the hassle and outrageous price quotes. Of course he can, and does, walk outside his building and find a good selection on the street for 60K.

I just got back for having a bowl of soup. Two smokin' street chicas waylaid me on the trip home. I had them for dessert for 60K each.

Conclusion: Laguito has certainly not gone to hell, but the LDV may be heading in that direction. Very few of us who live here spend very much time in the LDV.

Music to my ears Tom! I hope it stays that way til I arrive in June!

I was told that Manila House opens at noon. I headed there at around 2:30 and the place looked closed. Went inside and found a single cute lady there. The guy there knocked on some doors and woke the other girls. They were none too quick to come out. One gave me a real nasty glare.

In the end went with the woman who was already awake. 70k for her, 50k to the house. Unlike the rest of the place, the room we had our session in was extremely clean and nice. I´d be willing to go back.

My friend owns an aprtment there and says VERY quiet lately. Maybe the election deterred some visitors. Despite his kissing up to the Great Satan, I like Uribe and understand why Colombia needs a hardliner. I also feel Colombia is a special case; a conservative Bush ally in any other Latin nation is NOT somebody I would support.

Re the streetgirls around the block with La Perla Casino & LDV, I saw none last trip but in the past got some GREAT chicas (still sweet and unhardened) there for 50K (plus I tip for good service). Heard the police were hassling the SWs that used to congregate around that block.

The election did quiet things. But it is always slow this time of year. In 3 weeks things pick up again for school vacation.

The police have always enforced the laws against street solicitation. Discretion is the key.

You me and tomtom are the only ones who think there are any street chicas in CTG that aren't drug craving skanks.
I had one of my best experiences ever with a little cutie I found there. 5 foot tall, 95 pounds of adorable GFE. All night was 50K.
But I must have dreamed it. All the street chicas are skanks, what am I thinking...

Tom..I´m here..just got in this evening..kinda feeling a bit under the weather with this allergy but I´m not gonna let it stop me..I´m here with my friend, Duane..hit me back..let me know where we can link up...that goes for anyone else here too in CTG..newbie needs guidance..lol

I tried calling a lady who gave me her number from Manila House, but unfortunately I didnt have sufficient Spanish to convince her to visit my apartment. I was working under the assumption that it´d be 260k pesos for 24 hours.

Instead I hit up Club Rocio, one of the casas in the Bruselas neighborhood of Cartagena. I met a sweet-seeming hot lady named Carolina from Medellin and paid 280k for TLN. She seemed very amiable, and said she could stay til 4pm the next day, "no problem."

While there I saw around 6 or so other women, many of them doable. There were also a pair of tall light skinned identical twins! The cat house´s house cat is named Natasha.

Initially had a good time with Carolina, but she seemed to get tired of chatting and screwing. She kept pointing to the TV. Got to bed around 3am and she refused to have sex, saying it´d be better after 6am. Had sex once more in the morning and she left. Overall, not a bad experience, but somewhat disappointing. During dinner she tried to make it clear to me what a good deal I was getting. Short time is something like 150k, making 280k for TLN a bargain.

Rest assured she was the one getting the bargain.
I'm glad you felt the experience wasn't bad, but most Colombia veterans would call this experience horrible.
Hang in there and work on your spanish, you'll be amazed how much better your encounters will be.

Thanks, TheShadow2. Overall I´m disappointed with Cartagena. Can´t wait to leave for Bogota tomorrow. The women here all seem very into making some quick cash and arent really into much else. I´d be willing to pay more for a better experience, but it hasn´t happened here. I´m hoping Bogota will bring better things because it´s less tourist oriented.

One detail I found amusing was that Carolina referred to her boss at Club Rocio as "Mamasan." I haven´t heard "Pay mamasan!" since Thailand, and I thought it even sounded weird there, since "mamasan" is a Japanese term.

There is no correlation between what you pay and what you get. Recently I have paid as much as 150K for short time and as little as 40K. Some of the best times I've had for 40 to 60K. That 150K was quite special as well.

Of course I've lived here for over 3 years, speak some Spanish, and treat the girls very well. I'm also old and fat.

After arriving at Bogota I realize that Cartagena just wasnt for me. Everyone´s mileage may vary. Bogota has lots of places to get a cheap quickie. The women and people in general seem to have a great attitude. Something about Cartagena was difficult for me to get into.

I read on this forum and other places that Cartagena would be a good Colombian destination if your Spanish skillls are lacking. I disagree with this. The main advantage I had in knowing English was making it easier for touts to communicate with me and slightly easier to work out hotel arrangements. I worked out a hotel in Bogota without any English and things are going fine.

I wasn´t in a better negotiating position in Cartagena for knowing fluent English. I'm just as reliant on Spanish in Bogota for important things as I was in Cartagena. And here in Bogota I'm not dripping with sweat after walking around outside for 5 mins.

Bartchamdo, good to see at least one person agrees with me about mongering, the climate and language in Cartagena. Although seeing the Old City is without a doubt worth a trip, if you're into old Spanish architecture or Colombian history.

"I wasn´t in a better negotiating position in Cartagena for knowing fluent English."

Sounds right to me. My English doesn't help me much here either.
