taxi ride to and from the airport is about 32k not 30 dollars
[QUOTE=Kdog]I visited both places last night. Got to FF a little early and they didn't charge me cover. Maybe the don't charge anymore in general. There were 12-13 girls. Only one 9 and the rest were 6's and 7's. The 9 was charging 240 mil for 30 minutes, the others were right around 150 mil. I don't know how long this place can stay open. They don't have the crowds or the women the used to have. There were only 5 guys during the 2 hours I was there.
I went to Escoces around 10:00pm. No cover as always. Very crowded. Nothing special though. The women are a bit more aggressive than FF. I left afer one drink.
I tried a place around Autopisto Sur con CRA 44 and it was packed too. Everything was much cheaper (drinks/women). If you are looking for a 7 or an 8 and don't want to spend a lot, this place is good. I had a lot of fun there. Any taxi driver in the area will know where this place is. I was told it's open 24 hours.
The waiter at FF is now available for pick-ups/drop-offs at the airport and take people around to clubs. He speaks English and he has very good instincts about Colombian women (which ones to avoid). He is charging $100 for both pick-up and drop-off and 2 nights driving around. That is a good deal considering taxi's charge $25-$30 one way to the airport. Here's his info:

They will be more than happy to pick you up and drive you to your destination for that amount. $100K is about 195K in Colombia that is alot to pay!
First Cali visit, where to stay?
Hello, fellow mongers,
I'm contemplating a first visit to Cali (after many enjoyable visits to Medellin). Any recommendations on where to stay in Cali? Preferably not too far from some action, but reasonably quiet/clean, comfortable bed, WiFi would be nice.
Any casas or clubs in particular exhibiting fresher/younger talent these days? Or better to troll for non-pros for that purpose?
Appreciate any advice, will post report/summary if I make it there and Medellin doesn't lure me back to her lovely embrace.
Returning to Cali on September 5 for a month
I will be returning to Cali on 9/5 for a month to visit my very attractive girlfriend. This is my fifth visit to Colombia since 12/09. I am an American who lived for six years in the DR and speak Spanish. If anyone would like to get together in Cali please send me a private message with your e-mail address and/or telephone number and I will be in contact.
You need more time in Cali
[QUOTE=John]Cali Plaza Hotel is good place to stay in Cali. I had my first trip to Cali in July 2010. I went with assumption that I might find something different and or something better. In short my planned visit to Cali was for 4 days in Cali. I took a flight from Cali back to Medellin in 2 days. Nothing special in Cali and nothing you can do in Cali that you can not do in Medellin.
Only reason I decided to go to Cali was because their were no rooms available at Mansion/Castillo and even Frank Casio did not have rooms available, but even then I found out later that it is better to stay in Parque lleras then to go to Cali.
If you want to try a second city in Colombia my recomendation is go to Cartagena.
Unless you like thick dark girls which are plenty available in Cali. Girls are thick and they are dark. I like the dark part but have no taste for thick girls. Very few gems in Cali In my opinion compared to Medellin.
Then again to each his own.
Regards,
John[/QUOTE]I also prefer MDE to Cali, but 4 days is not enough to really judge a city. There are plenty of hot women in Cali. The best way to find them is to hire a good taxi driver for the night. This is a must for this city as they have no Metro like in MDE and things are spread out so a taxi is very important.
On my first trip to Cali a couple of years ago we hired a driver and he took us to so many places in one night my head was spinning. The best part of that was we did not go to the over priced places like Flores Fresco, but little bars and Casas that I would never of found on my own.
On my last trip to Cali this Feb. I even got a non pro lawyer who I partyed with for the night. That is rare for me so I do like Cali, but MDE rules IMHO.
