Cartagena Reports

[HumbleHal]

While we were ordering on the computer some lady comes up to me and said I am hungry too. Can you buy me something.

Happens to me frequently when I get coffee at a gas station in a ghetto area of the city I live in the USA.

This morning a minority lady asked me for some food inside the store and I told her to ask the store manager, manager said he was not in charge of the store.

Jesus Christ said when his disciples criticized Mary Magdalene for placing expensive perfume on his feet, "There will be Poor always, struggling, look at the good things you've got!

Got here yesterday. 15,000 Indriver from the airport to Oz Luxury in Laguito where I am staying. My girl that lives here brought her daughter and we went to the beach. You can not walk 5 feet around this place without somebody trying to sell you something or wanting money from you. The kid wanted to go to McDonald's so we took her there. While we were ordering on the computer some lady comes up to me and said I am hungry too. Can you buy me something. I said bich please. Well I did not really say that. I just shook my head no.

My twin cousins are celebrating their birthday. There are 7 of us in the group. I do not miss traveling with a bunch of people. I am used to doing what I want when I want. It takes 5 minutes for us to just cross the street because people's attention is focused on different things. Two guys are getting numbers from hookers, while one guy is trying to buy a beer, another guy is at a food cart, somebody else is looking at souvenirs, and someone else is listening to a tout trying to rip them off.

We were at the clock tower last night and a lady named Shirley was actually giving the real price of the all day island boat tour with lunch included. She said 140,000. I said wow that is too much. Then she knocked it down and said okay 120,000 each person. Meanwhile another 2 people in our group was talking to a tout that was trying to rent us a boat for 2,800,000 pesos. I said man are you out of your mind. He said it is only $700 and you can do what you want on it. He said what do you want it for $20 each? I said yes. He called us cheap and one person in the group said he heard him call us the and word. I said I have no idea. I really stopped listening when I heard $700. Hell, I was in the Navy. I am not impressed by boats.

They were interested in drinking so we stopped in at a restaurant / bar called Texas. Walking there, every 5 feet someone was stopping trying to get the contact of a hooker. They wanted to keep drinking but I told them we needed to leave and hit some spots.

The Indriver on the way to the clock tower gave us a list: Tentaciones, Chicas Lindas, Travesuras, Paraiso del Marino. I cross-check it with the Cartagena Lists thread and also google searched. Indriver guy asked us if we had exact change. The price from Laguito to clock tower was 14,000 pesos. I said man how are you going to be driving and not have change. He said that he just started. He only had 10,000 pesos. He is an engineer and just got off work from his day job.

First place I chose was La Sucursal. We called 2 more Indrivers to go there from the clock tower. 12,000 pesos and 10 minutes away. While waiting for Indriver somebody decided they needed to buy a Corona from one of the vendors. I do not know what the communication was but they understood it would be 5,000 pesos. After the guy handed him the beer he wanted 20,000 pesos. So maybe the guy was saying $5? My cousin told him to just give the beer back. Well the vendor had already opened it. He raised bloody hell. He was cursing us out in Spanish and finally just poured the beer out when he realized it was not going to get paid for.

Mery died 1 or 2 years ago.

Her husband lives at Mirador del Laguito, if you want to meet and talk.

I rented via Airbnb last February.

Be aware also Mirador del Laguito changed their guest policy!

I was really disappointed. I know the place for over 10 years.

With all the clubs in the center closed, I feel it is not worth to visit Carta anylonger.

The good old days are gone, I miss Electra, etc.

Cartagena lost its "spice".

Running around the streets at night to find girls is ridiculous.

Cartagena wants Disney an Cruise tourism. .

Send a message / email to Juan Ventura as he would know, and I am sure would not mind responding to your question.

Well that explains why she has not responded. She was my goto rental agent, used her for years, never an issue. I will miss her.

[Breakline10]

Is Mery Salence is still in rental business? I rented from her in the past too, just can't recall what has been since.

Hi everyone,

I'll be visiting Cartagena. Are there any agencies or any tips picking women up? Places to go would be great. Thank you for reading!

[Questner]

I was wondering the same thing, last I rented from her was 2018 and she wasn't in the best of health. She was looking quite frail. I recently sent her an email but did not receive a reply. I am wondering if she is still alive. Does anyone have any info on that?

Guys, please be safe in Cartagena. A bad respiratory virus has been tearing through the city over the past month. I had it with a bad fever for a few weeks.

What's even more funny is that certain behaviors I was reporting on seeing 2-3 years ago and people were sweeping it under the rug and dismissing it are now reporting seeing the same exact things jajaja.

When I talked about flying girls out and it was dismissed http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2850551 Now they doing the same thing, looks like Mexico is the poor mans fly out option and too boring and as all the girls been there to Isla Mujers. Now they want trans-Atlantic flights so they can flex on social media so its all Europe going forward.

This really puts to shame guys that want a nice hotel room for the hookers to enjoy. I say mf they have probably been to that hotel 300 times and are on a name basis with all the staff. You are showing them nothing new or exciting. From what you say, looks like those guys better up the ante to flying them to Europe if they are trying to impress them.

And the one that have me laughing the most was when I said how Zoom was messing up Pattaya by bring that type of ATL / Sosua behavior over there. Now after he created the climate, hes complaining about the weather because he didn't attract business minded people who want to build, he attracted the ones who should have never been allowed to step foot outside their city.

Guess he shit the bed on that one. He should have learned more of the culture before inviting people to do something that he had not done himself anyway. In Thailand there is a saying: "If you want to make a small fortune in Thailand, then start with a large one. ".

I have seen them come and seen them go. But like I said before, everyone has to learn on their own. My boy bought some dresses on Amazon and brought them over to sell to chicks for $20. He sold not 1. I said don't see see these motorbike stores riding around selling dresses for $3? What makes you think you can sell one for $20? These people are not rich.

Matter of fact, whenever I think about buying something from Amazon I check the site we buy stuff from in Thailand (Lazada), because it is usually the exact same thing at one-third the price. Save those business ideas for where you come from. When you travel, just do it to enjoy yourself.

We all learn the hard way on this site. Can't share everything.

I definitely learned and understand why gatekeeping information is important. Allot of newcomers won't be able to experience the freedom I had with properties due to a selective few messing it up for everyone, the same way I missed out on the experience it back in the early 2000's with Boca Chica and Sosua.

What's even more funny is that certain behaviors I was reporting on seeing 2-3 years ago and people were sweeping it under the rug and dismissing it are now reporting seeing the same exact things jajaja.

Examples:

When the guy left my chicas friend with the bill http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2752187 Now last week I saw on youtube another guy tried to walk out on a bill in Medellin and got beat up in Parque Llares (Some saying he was over charged, others saying he didn't have money).

When I spoke about controlling our own image as travelers as it effects the next person http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2827102 . Now it snowballed into "go home gringo" signs and propaganda in Medellin making people think everyone is going to Colombia for minors.

When I talked about flying girls out and it was dismissed http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2850551 Now they doing the same thing, looks like Mexico is the poor mans fly out option and too boring and as all the girls been there to Isla Mujers.
