Cartagena Reports

Wow you guys are big spenders. 50k for beach girls if you bypass Tony. Take your own soft cooler drink 3xs as much and still save 100k pesos over drinking Tonys beers.

But I hand them out to single girls and they are very grateful.

Find a tout by the clock tower and get same quality you would get from LDV and Electra for 100k pesos tln.

Won't argue with alot of those numbers but I don't do GFE's with putas so I don't buy them anything to speak of.

I spend same in Cartagena or less than I do in Mde and been going there for 13 years.

But not everyone does.

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]I used to be really out-going with fellow gringos in Cartagena now I try and avoid them. It's sad but many gringos show up down here thinking that 200 bucks a day or whatever will be enough and when they realize that the girls won't go for less than 200K the first thing they do is free load off me. Sit in my tent, drink my beers, I've met some real chislers down there, some gringos are worse than the vendedors.

Cartagena is expensive.

Example of a day: [I]see orig post[/I]Thats 1. 1 million pesos. [/QUOTE]This actually sound like my budget but I spend much more on dinner, more on lunch, more on the room and I go to La Perla.

But for this guy on a tight budget I see:

[B]Beers:[/B]

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]50k for beer and chips for the cooler, ice too. [B][I] (Thats about 20Beers) [/I][/B]

And after drinking 50K worth of beers purchased at the liquor store.

20k for a few more beers at the beach from tony because the coolers empty. A few of those he'll drink on you. [B][I] (24 beers) [/I][/B]

3k for a beer from the urchins. [B][I] (25) [/I][/B]

30k for a few henikens for urself there at 8k a pop. [B][I] (28 beers) [/I][/B]

30k in beers before you find a girl you like. [B][I] (31 beers) [/I][/B]

3k for another beer they're small. [B][I] (32) [/I][/B]

50k in drinks for you and your pizza outside in the jardin and what ever drinks your next broad wants. (not even counting this) [/QUOTE][B]Comment[/B]: [I]Not every one buys [B]32 beers every day[/B]. That's 186K in Beers and I'm sure I missed a few[/I]

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]10k for her taxi because no-matter what deal you made she's going to beg for it.

6k for the taxi to the torre reloj in front of tu candela to meet your girl pro, semi or non.

6k taxi to take you and her there.

6k taxi home.

10k in taxi money for her to go home if she's playing innocent girl or go to work if she's a pro and you've already done her.

6k taxi back to laguito and dolce vita.

6k to taxi to your apartment they always ask because its hard walking 2 blocks in heels.

Then a much needed siesta. That's free. [/QUOTE][B]Comment[/B]: [I]Taxi to the ATM and back. Why not consolidate a little? Because like me you are not on a budget. Also you got the taxi here for 2 or three different girls or some random massage girl. I lost count. [/I]

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]3k for smokes for her before you enter.

3k for her smokes when she arrives.

3k for her smokes outside. [/QUOTE][B]Comment[/B]: [I]The guy is not mongering. If he is maybe he gets a non s moker? Just saying[/I]

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]20k to cover charge so you can hang-out at tu candela for a while / same dif if its Cafe del Mar.

20k for her double shot of what-ever then she vanishes.

3k in go-away money while waking in el centro.

2k in go-away money for the urchins. [/QUOTE][B]Comment[/B]: [I]The guy is not mongering. Maybe one night he does this? Just saying. [/I]

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]120k for dinner at Quebracho or Enoteca don't bother with La Vitrola they won't let you in with her. It could be more expensive if you don't steer her away from the langostinos.[/QUOTE][B]Comment[/B]: [I]The guy is not mongering. Lobster dinner? Maybe one night he does this? Other nights he eats like a Colombian? Just saying[/I]

[QUOTE=Tom Power; 1127748]3k for the Smirnoff Ice in your fridge for her / you got to offer something.[/QUOTE][B]Comment[/B]: [I]The guy is on a tight budget. His room does not have a fridge, pobrecito, hehehehe. [/I]

Thats 1. 1 million pesos for guys like us. But for him it is 60K COP no woman and 250K total if he throws in a 150K girl, her taxi and a tip. But again he is not mongering. Looking to swoop girls after their shift.

I will say one thing. He might get lucky if he has game but he is in for some real disappointment if he thinks anywhere in Colombia is going to anywhere close to Rio.

[quote=speedbump; 1127969]last october (2010) i could write a page about how nice it was to deal with juan ventura. but it's been said before. i'll let it suffice to say that he's a gentleman, and rented a very nice apt to me for [b]$60. 00 usd / night. [/b]

in ctg i like elektra. if you can't close a deal with a broad, and you walk away, the whole bar knows about it.

i'm about to turn 58 i'm overweight balding, and i'm not ugly. but i'm not handsome. all i can say for myself is. that l can pretend to be a gentleman when it suites my purpose. that's very important when dealing with latinas. when i set my sights on a woman. i don't rush. i make sure she knows that i'm looking at her. when there is a waitress near her, i approach and say "una traiga para la dama" (a drink for the lady) and i tip the waitress a little more than is customary. (12. 15%). then you are required to ask the following.

where are you from? = de donde estas?

how old are you? or they say how many years do you have? = cuantos anos tienes (pronounced anyos, if you say anos your asking how many anuses she has)

and most important do you have children? tienes ninos (ninyos)

i spend a little time with her. i make sure she doesn't have any annoying habits.

if it's a go: i invite her to my apt. they always say yes. and i immediately ask how much? i always counter offer. it sets the stage for future negotiations. at elektra 150, 000 for a desirable women is about right. if you have certain needs, now would be the time to discuss them.

getting back to the subject at hand. [b][i]after travel and lodging expenses [/i] [b]i spend about $150. 00 / day[/b][/b] i'm heading to ctg in a couple of weeks. if anything is different, i'll be sure to post it. [/quote]de donde [b]eres[/b]

$150 a day + usd$60 a night is $usd210 (yeah i went to college) and is a lot less than $usd300-$500. you sure you were in ctg? if you don't do the hooker you spent 140k a day or $usd78 at octobers fx or usd$73 today (again, not including the lodging part).

i don't want to get into a pissing contest but uh with that 140k pesos left over did you:

order a liter of old parr whiskey?

32 beers? perhaps a lobster dinner for a random hooker?

[i]"cuantos anos tienes?"[/i] is actually hysterical and i think the girls get a fun chuckle when foreigners make a bawdy mistake like that.

I was just lookin at my photos I just posted and it wasn't my intention to call Tar Heel a dummy I was just trying to make an impact on how people always come on the board and ask about getting a hotel vs apartment.

My apologies.

Here's a suggestion Tar Heel maybe you should consider romancing some girl before you get there and spend two weeks making love to her that could really make things affordable, in my experience when you meet a girl down there she's not puttin' out unless you wine and dine her, but if she thinks you love her and are coming to Cartagena for her alone she'll bend over backwards to show you how committed she is to your future together and insn't interesada (gold digger) hell if you lay it on thick before you get there your future mother-in-law will let you move in and skip the hostel she'll cook you meals you could pull-off coming home with money and no headaches on your VISA. If your young and good looking playing the love card is your ace in the hole. Obviously, you won't have a score card like Pauly D, but condom-less sex for hours and hours for pennies out of pocket isn't too bad either.

Tom Power,

I enjoyed the pictures, thanks for posting. I got a couple questions though. Were you calling Juan a dummy? Or telling a dummy to hook up with Juan. Hahahaha. A comma would be helpful, but I knew what you meant. You never really know if a non-pro is really non-pro. Go ahead and approach anyway. I left the beach on several ocassions with women who appeared to be there on a family vacation complete with little kids hanging around. I agree that some of Tony's choices are on the edge, but in the past and most recently in September, he has introduced me to some of the best and energy filled college girls. I keep telling Tony no tto the uglies and he digs deeper and finally will get something I consider spending my time with.

The non-pros can cost you a heck of a lot more than the prepagos. I swear when my wife would show up, my expenses quadrupled. I never can understand how she can take four different trips across town to the mall or our duplex in the same afternoon. Each time more taxi money. Of course she does like to spend her evenings in LaPerla or Rio and if she is up a few hundred dollars, she won't leave until it is all gone. I thought I was going to be divorced by now, but as it turns out, we are heading the embassy next week for her and my step son's visas once again.

The argument over how much to spend while on vacation depends on what one expects on vacation. For some, it means just a room and bed with a bathroom and would not entertain in their room. I am not sure how much entertaing will occur since many of the girls think we are all making seven figures a year. You may enjoy seeing the sights, going to the beach or to the mall. After three days, one could see most of the sights in Cartagena and visit every store in the mall. I admit though, that I enjoy watching people and grab a table and several beers to see what happens. As for the beach, that is not what brought me to Cartagena. I enjoy it, but if it is the beach, I would just go to Siesta Key in Sarasota instead. I do want what comes to the beach, drink and talk to other Gringos, I just do not enjoy the grey sand and plastic floating in the water.

I first came to Cartagena in September 2003 and was lucky to find somebody to take me around the city to places that were in the barrios. Great food, inexpensive rum, people around to laugh at my attempt to revise my high school Spanish. Many are still my friends and I actually ended up marrying that girl I met. She did give up a good job and brought her step son to the US before her mother got cancer and she got homesick. She moved back to Cartagena which is why I see her only when I am in town. It does get expensive to wine dine and take her shopping when I am in town. I would prefer to go to the beach and take an afternoon street girl up to the apartment for a few hours. I can eat one meal a day and later eat a few of those deep fried hamburger filled pastries. A case of beer, water, ice, and coke will make me content.

I have also spent eight grand in ten days because it is easy to do. Most of it was after spending time at the bars (she liked Mr. Babilla) with my wife and her friends. At some point in the evening, there might be six girls drinking from our several bottles of Buchannan. I am a Chivas drinker and keep a bottle hidden in the apartment for myself. There comes the time in the evening, things head back to the apartment and there would be myself, wife and several of her friends back relaxing. More drinking and food needed to cure their munchies. Several times, I have been awaken by two naked women lying between my wife and I asking for money for the taxi and food for their little kids before they head to work. No matter how you think it is a nonpro or it will be a free fuck, it really isn't.

I have never been to Medellin, so I can't compare prices other than what others have written. I must trust what they say. I have been to Bogota on three different ocassions and found that although there are 50K casa girls and other low cost alternatives, the cost of lodging and food will eat your budget quickyly. Also, why go someplace that reminds me of being in springtime Chicago (I love Chicago, so nobody get on my case). You know where it is cloudy and chilly, then rains, more clouds and then some sunshine before it clouds up again. Instead of shorts, t-shirts and suntan lotion, it is long pants and jackets. I am heading to Bogota next Saturday and a hotel room for 6 days will cost close to $900. 00, I spent almost three days working with different apartment agents looking for a place that could accomodate two adults and one teen. I gave up after the best I could get was $170. 00 per day. Of course, I planned it so that I will have the last two nights solo before flying home. I just hope I am not broke by then.

If all goes well and the visas arrive, I will make a return visit, this time back to Cartagena and will have a day or two to hang out by myself. If anyone is in Cartagena around April 15th, let me know.

[QUOTE=LuckyEddie; 1128022]2 weeks? I would reconsider or get ready for spending a few nights taking it really, [B]really [/B]easy. Pulling ass for cheap or almost free happens but mostly for younger and in shape guys. My old neighbor did CTG for a week last year and came back with all types of photos. This Colombian lady doesn't have 2 nickels to rub together. There is no way she spent more than 100K pesos a day.

You will be able to gauge your expenses. Just make sure you have enough to get home and pay the airport tax. If you call a few hostals or search the web for Hostal guides they will advise you as to where cheaper eats and attractions are. That stuff is not available on this board, sorry,

Go and have a great time take it all in and when you get back to your home country tell all your friends how awesome CTG is, how easy it is to pull ass and how everyone should check it out. After all it is the safest place in all of Colombia. Even cruise ships stop there![/QUOTE]I am young (24) and workout and play sports regularly. I can't imagine their being many young (20's) good looking gringos mongering in Cartagena Colombia. So I'm sure ill have a leg up when I walk into the joint. I speak decent enough spanish to hold a conversation. I'm confident I will pull for free.

Ill have about 65 dollars to spend a day. Once I get there Ill have a better idea of how much a day will cost. But I'm going to be eating on the CHEAP! I'm talking like spending 10-20 bucks a day on food. If I feel that I won't have enough ill just take it easy sund. Wed and only spend money going to clubs on the weekend.

Is their covers at the main clubs in Cartagena? Also how much for a bottle of local beer in these establishments?

I could just do hostels and just go to a love motel when I meet a chick that is DTF. I'll have access to more money if I need it.

[/QUOTE]Tom, I'm already doing just that on ColombianCupid! I'm covering all my basis to make this trip good.

no i go to the beach for a few hours i may buy a beer or two. the only girl i picked up at the beach cost $60 usd i do stock my apartment. i eat there and in the old city no i didn't rent a carpa, i sat at a table in the restaurant. cabs were cheap. it's not my stile to walk around hemorrhaging money.

i.

[quote=black hawk69; 1128097]speedbump, i have some questions for you if you do not mind answering them:

could you break down for us your one hundred fifty dollars a day?

do you party on the beach at all during day, buying beers, water, juice, liquor, massages, maybe a manicure or pedicure, maybe buy a couple of souveniers.

do you rent a carpa, chair, or table?

do you order food on the beach, or buy anything from any of the vendors?

do you have an female company during the daytime hours, and if so, what type of money do you give to the girls?

do you go out at night to eat at any of the finer restaurants, or exactly where do you go and eat?

do you use taxis for transportation, and if so how much do you spend per day for a taxi?

do you buy food, refreshments for your apartment?

when you go out at night, do you just buy one or two drinks for the night?

i am curious as to how you are able to get by on one hundred fifty dollars a day, when you are giving the girl from elektra around eighty dollars of it. what do you do for entertainment outside of going to elektra, and what is the cost breakdown for the rest of your seventy dollars you spend daily?

your kindness in responding to my questions will be greatly appreciated! [/quote]

[QUOTE=Black Hawk69;1128206]I fricking hate it when guys try to manipulate the girls, as you suggested. These girls have hopes and dreams like the rest of us, and many do put there time and effort into meeting a good respectable guy that they can build a quality friendship with, that has the potential for a possible future filled with romance, stability, security, and opportunities. Why would you suggest to someone to manipulate them into false assumptions? If this is the type of guy you are, I can promise you that Karma will find you at some point. It might not today, or tomorrow, but at some point it will be knocking on your door for being manipulative. Totally classless.[/QUOTE]I hate this too. I'm no Captain Save-A-Ho but you can catch me frequently telling any and all girls I meet about the foreigners on vacation. Be sincere, you'll live longer.

Here is my report on CTG. I might have to do this report two fold if I can't finish it all today. I really don't think I have much to add, but hell I will write it anyway. First off I didn't really take any pictures, although most of the girls were more then willing to allow me. (I have my own personal reasons for this)

Here is a quick question before I get started. I was just wandering what you guys think of the girls taking pictures of us with them in the pictures and without. I was with 3 other guys and we took girls to the beach and restaurants almost everyday and they were all camera crazy! They took pictures of us left and right on the beach, hugging, laying around the apartment, in the Jaquizzi, etc. A few of my buddys were a little worried about this but it didn't bother me, they were like these girls could blackmail us, I just don't think so, all the girls we had were all really kool and some we kept longer then others but we treated them all well. Just would like a little feedback on this.

I will start with the first day and how I like to roll. We flew out of Atlantic city (spirit) cost of flight with all big front seats and carry on luggage fees was 585. 00 round trip. Got there at 5 am and drank about 4 bloody marys. 2hr and 10 minute flight to Ft. Lauderdale and three white wines on the plane later, we land in FLL. We pick up 4 bottles of Baileys. 4 Patron. 4 chevas regal. 4 bacardi. 2 drinks each in the airport and on to Cartagena. (2. 5hr flight) we arrive in CTG at around 1:30 I head right to the mac machine in the airport and grab 800, 000peso and a beer. I already had 600, 000 peso on me from last trip, so I am good for a couple of days and I got change for the cabby from the beer. We get 2 cabs for 15, 000 peso each to edificio playa mar where me and 2 buddys are staying in Penhouse and are friend is staying in 902.

This is my second year in the penhouse and you can figure on spending 300 to 350 us per night. Maybe if you are a hard negotiator you can do better then 300. I don't know. At 300. Its 100. Us per man, I was happy with that. Its a great place with a Jaquizzi and plenty of room, a great party place! My buddy in 902 paid 75. Us which we could probably get for 65. I didn't really like 902 but my buddy was happy with it. I have stayed in 301 and 801 and perfer them to 902 but they were not available. Now we are all unpacked and all have a nice buzz from both liquor and pills, for old fucks we can party with the best of them!

We hit the streets around 2:30. We all have come to an agreement we are not dealing with Tonys bullshit on this trip and decide we will spend are time in front of El Bonys, where I always get treated good from that establishment. Everybody knows me there and they have never paded the bill and appreciate the big tips we give them. I only use the chair vendor in front of Bonys to get me my chairs and cabana about 8chairs and 2 lounge chairs. 20, 000 plus a 10, 000 tip, nothing else, I walk up and get drinks at Bonys and the staff at Bonys carry down any food we order, which can be extensive because these little colombian girls can eat like crazy! We don't mind buying it because these girls clean there plates like it was there last meal! Ok getting back to leaving the apartment, we hit the street and start walking towards the beach. We hit the Farmacia and buy about 20 boxes of 4 cialis each at 3000 peso per box of 4. On are last day we found a place where we could buy it for 8000 per box for 4 pills, this is the cheapest I have ever found it and we bought a total of 150 pills to take home that last day. Keep in mind this is generic 50mg pills. I take one in the morning and one in the evening and my dick stays hard as a fucking rock when called upon, and keep in mind I'm drunk on pills, see, m, and liquor. (I am trying to be as open as possible) from there we say Hello, to the guys at Restaurant Requisimo where we often eat and then head down to Bonys. Tony must of gotten word we were down there and came down and said Hello, and asked if we were coming to his beach, which by the way is practically washed away, its less then a 1/3 of the size it use to be! I politely told him we would not be on his area of the beach at all because we were tired of the argument at the end of everyday. Believe me we would have an agurment everyday and it was not because of us, a bill that should have been say 150, 000 always ended up 300, 000 so enough was enough last year. As the week went on, he was sick that he didn't have are business because there was usually between 4 of us and 4 to 6 girls with us. But he fucked that up on his own. Also for those that know he has diabetes and had stopped drinking. Well he is back saucing pretty good again, I new that wouldn't last! From Bonys we headed over to Cabo de palo (sp?) restaurant catey corner from Armitrade Hotel, its pricey but I like it. I always sit outside and we had a big pitcher of Sangria and some steaks. (300, 000 with tip) We then head over to Olympica and pick up some water beer cereal milk etc. Then we start walking back to the apartment and as we approach the apartment sure enough there are some girls lingering around. A couple of the guys take the supplies up to the Penhouse and 2 of us stay down to chat up the girls the best we can with are limited spanish. I am not positive on the names but one is like Paula and the other is Roche? Paula says she can call a couple more friends over and we agree on 80, 000 peso for a couple hours each, but first we have to check out the other girls she is going to call over. Both Paula and Roche are nice, then a girl called gissete comes up and I take her, she is on the dark side, about 20 years old and is the littlest girl I have ever been with! One hand could palm her ass. We head up to the Penhouse and of course they love it, we have a security camera that looks directley at the front desk, so when Paula friends arrive we can see them nicely. There are two of them Claudia and Tatiana again not positive on the names but I am close. So security calls and we say send them up. So now there are 4 of us and 5 of them there all nice. I leave it up to my buds on what to do and take gissete to the cuzzi where she loved it (first she got a showere in my room) whe blew me like there was no tomorrow, some of my friends came out to the cuzzi with there girls and I headed to my room and had a great extended session with G. Gave her 100, 000 instead of 80, 000. It was more then worth it and it was now around 7:30pm Sent her on her way and took a nap till 1AM.

We all got showered and dressed, nice jeans, hip shirts (no not my helado shirt that you busted my balls about you know who you are) and a nice pair of shoes! Dressing well and being well groomed goes along way with these girls. I don't care what you think, treat them like working girls and you will be treated like a working girl. Treat them nice and you will be well treated. You can take that to the bank! By the way all the girls during the day had a great time with us and my one buddy kept Paula and brought her to the club and also left with her. I picked up 2 girls tonight, I would say they were 8's early 20's and believe it or not I didn't find out till the next day they were cousins, and I mean kissing cousins! 200, 000 each all night. I had a blast! We didn't awake next day untill about 12 noon and I took them to beach. All my buds also had great girls also. It was a great first day.

We are now on the second day and we headed to beach, I got my two girls and I swear I cannot remember either ones name? I thinks the brunette was Vanessa but I am not positive, we eat lunch at Requisimo and head down to beach in front of El bony. We get massages from Luce Marina who I adore and gives a great Massage for 40, 000 peso. 2 of my buds got girls and 1 of my friends is Solo, his girl went home. Another great day and the girls go on there way. My one friend still is with Paula. I go home and take a nap and get ready for night 2!

Wake up around midnight again and we all head out. Keep in mind my buddy in 902 always comes up to are penhouse and we make drinks to walk down to the bar with. Also 902 man is still with Paula who has been bringing him treats. To keep him happy and she is indulging in the treats with him, so there all more then happy! She is not the best looking girl but is treating him well and ad in the treats (girls) she is bringing him on the side he has nothing but a smile on his face. This night I meat a girl I had a major problem with on one of my trips, though I think it was of my own doing, (do to some heavy drug and alcohol use) so we never got to play. Well this night we make up and I been wanting to have this girl since I fucked things up with her months ago. We all grab girls and head back to PH, this was after drinking 2 large bottles of Medellin Rum at LDV with tip 350, 000 My buddy took Vanessa this night (the girl I had the previous night but her cousin was home) We all had a great night. Now keep in mind my girl has tattoos like a gang member (probably is or was in a gang do to the knuckle tats) and when I tell my buds, who all know the story of the problem I had with her months ago they are all a little scared and learry of her. I am not going to mention her name, though I know it very well, she turned out to be a really great person. I ended up keeping her most of the trip and had a great time with her. I would take her to the beach and such and then when she would go home for the night I would grab a street girl to play with for a few hours to keep things lively because my gang member girl was not into me being with other girls. She was alot of fun and also got me the best see and m for the littliest money I have ever paid, my friends now loved her too! We got a bag of pot creepa (size wise it was about 5 inch long 3 inch high and and 1 thick, I mean alot of pot) for 40 us dollars and let me tell you this shit fucked us all up big time.

We end up taking all the girls to the beach today and decide to keep them for the night so we don't have to go to LDV tonight, which will be are 3rd night. Great day on the beach! The girls all leave later in the day and we all decide to meet at the PH at around 9pm (my nap will be short today) on the way back I pick up a girl named something like Paulow? Took her up and had a great hour and a half for 100, 000 before I went to sleep. Had about 3 hour nap and my friends woke me up and I grabbed a shower, dressed the girls started filtering in! We were partying while hanging out, my one buddys friend did not show up, so Paula called one of her friends and off we went old city. We had a few drinks at Cafe Del Mar, We ate at a small italian restaurantin the walled city but I can't remember the name, then off to Mr Babbillas where we all had a great time. Back to the PH around 2am, everybody got naked between the cuzzi and bedrooms and it was a fun party night. No a great Party Night! The next day which I believe is the 4 day (Saturday) we sent all the girls home this day and took it easy. Told them we would see them at LDV tonight. We all we to beach and hung out talked to more girls etc. I went home and got a good nap and we headed out around 11:30 Saturday night.

To be continued!

i tried posting a report earlier. but it go lost in the ozone.

i'm not prepared to go into as much detail as you seem to want. but i will share this. obviously i don't do all of those things you mention. $150. 00 usd would not last long. i picked up one girl on the beach, i paid $60. 00 usd.

i seldom take on more than one girl a day. no i do not drink all day. but i usually have some wine in the afternoon.

i rent a nice apt, and i like to spend the hot hours of the afternoon there. so i usually make my own lunch. i have eaten at riquisimos, a seafood place in gethsemeni and places in the old city it's just not my stile to walk down the street hemorrhaging money.

[quote=black hawk69; 1128097]speedbump, i have some questions for you if you do not mind answering them:

could you break down for us your one hundred fifty dollars a day?

do you party on the beach at all during day, buying beers, water, juice, liquor, massages, maybe a manicure or pedicure, maybe buy a couple of souveniers.

do you rent a carpa, chair, or table?

do you order food on the beach, or buy anything from any of the vendors?

do you have an female company during the daytime hours, and if so, what type of money do you give to the girls?

do you go out at night to eat at any of the finer restaurants, or exactly where do you go and eat?

do you use taxis for transportation, and if so how much do you spend per day for a taxi?

do you buy food, refreshments for your apartment?

when you go out at night, do you just buy one or two drinks for the night?

i am curious as to how you are able to get by on one hundred fifty dollars a day, when you are giving the girl from elektra around eighty dollars of it. what do you do for entertainment outside of going to elektra, and what is the cost breakdown for the rest of your seventy dollars you spend daily?

your kindness in responding to my questions will be greatly appreciated! [/quote]

[QUOTE=Tar Heel Bred;1128199]I am young (24) and workout and play sports regularly. I can't imagine their being many young (20's) good looking gringos mongering in Cartagena Colombia. So I'm sure ill have a leg up when I walk into the joint ...[/QUOTE]You sound simply amazing!

I'm sure you'll be the hit of the town.

[QUOTE=Black Hawk69; 1128370]Tell me what girls want to go out with a penniless gringo who stays in a hostal? You have sixty five dollars a day to spend, but your lodging and transportation has to come out of that as well. A beer in the discos such as Tu Candela, Cafe Havana, Cafe del Mar, Mr. Babillas is anywhere from 6000 to 8000 pesos. Yes, the discos I mentioned have a cover charge of 20, 000 pesos.

I still think you should get Nibu Rafael to join you, as he is the best at getting by on the cheap, and you two can share expenses. Do a search for his name on here, or checkout his thread here on the Colombia board, though he does not post on it very much. I encourage you to send him a personal message.

Have fun[/QUOTE]A girl will want to spend time with a young early 20's white good looking american. As I'm sure that is not something they see and talk to regularly. What girl wants to go out with an old mongering sex tourist thats old enough to be their dad? They don't, they just do it for the money and the freebies that a girl receives when accompanying a monger.

So I can expect to spend about 20 bucks at the main expensive discos in CTG (cover and 3 beers)

I'm hoping my trip is like my recent Costa Rican trip. Girl invites me back to her apartment and I smash that for a couple of days! Hot 20 yr old grl with nice real tits and plump ass. My spanish is better now soo that will come in handy.

Do these places except credit cards or just cash?

[QUOTE=You Can; 1128368]Here is my report on CTG. I might have to do this report two fold if I can't finish it all today. I really don't think I have much to add, but hell I will write it anyway. First off I didn't really take any pictures, although most of the girls were more then willing to allow me. (I have my own personal reasons for this)

Here is a quick question before I get started. I was just wandering what you guys think of the girls taking pictures of us with them in the pictures and without. I was with 3 other guys and we took girls to the beach and restaurants almost everyday and they were all camera crazy! They took pictures of us left and right on the beach, hugging, laying around the apartment, in the Jaquizzi, etc. A few of my buddys were a little worried about this but it didn't bother me, they were like these girls could blackmail us, I just don't think so, all the girls we had were all really kool and some we kept longer then others but we treated them all well. Just would like a little feedback on this.

I will start with the first day and how I like to roll. We flew out of Atlantic city (spirit) cost of flight with all big front seats and carry on luggage fees was 585. 00 round trip. Got there at 5 am and drank about 4 bloody marys. 2hr and 10 minute flight to Ft. Lauderdale and three white wines on the plane later, we land in FLL. We pick up 4 bottles of Baileys. 4 Patron. 4 chevas regal. 4 bacardi. 2 drinks each in the airport and on to Cartagena. (2. 5hr flight) we arrive in CTG at around 1:30 I head right to the mac machine in the airport and grab 800, 000peso and a beer. I already had 600, 000 peso on me from last trip, so I am good for a couple of days and I got change for the cabby from the beer. We get 2 cabs for 15, 000 peso each to edificio playa mar where me and 2 buddys are staying in Penhouse and are friend is staying in 902.

This is my second year in the penhouse and you can figure on spending 300 to 350 us per night. Maybe if you are a hard negotiator you can do better then 300. I don't know. At 300. Its 100. Us per man, I was happy with that. Its a great place with a Jaquizzi and plenty of room, a great party place! My buddy in 902 paid 75. Us which we could probably get for 65. I didn't really like 902 but my buddy was happy with it. I have stayed in 301 and 801 and perfer them to 902 but they were not available. Now we are all unpacked and all have a nice buzz from both liquor and pills, for old fucks we can party with the best of them!

We hit the streets around 2:30. We all have come to an agreement we are not dealing with Tonys bullshit on this trip and decide we will spend are time in front of El Bonys, where I always get treated good from that establishment. Everybody knows me there and they have never paded the bill and appreciate the big tips we give them. I only use the chair vendor in front of Bonys to get me my chairs and cabana about 8chairs and 2 lounge chairs. 20, 000 plus a 10, 000 tip, nothing else, I walk up and get drinks at Bonys and the staff at Bonys carry down any food we order, which can be extensive because these little colombian girls can eat like crazy! We don't mind buying it because these girls clean there plates like it was there last meal! Ok getting back to leaving the apartment, we hit the street and start walking towards the beach. We hit the Farmacia and buy about 20 boxes of 4 cialis each at 3000 peso per box of 4. On are last day we found a place where we could buy it for 8000 per box for 4 pills, this is the cheapest I have ever found it and we bought a total of 150 pills to take home that last day. Keep in mind this is generic 50mg pills. I take one in the morning and one in the evening and my dick stays hard as a fucking rock when called upon, and keep in mind I'm drunk on pills, see, m, and liquor. (I am trying to be as open as possible) from there we say Hello, to the guys at Restaurant Requisimo where we often eat and then head down to Bonys. Tony must of gotten word we were down there and came down and said Hello, and asked if we were coming to his beach, which by the way is practically washed away, its less then a 1/3 of the size it use to be! I politely told him we would not be on his area of the beach at all because we were tired of the argument at the end of everyday. Believe me we would have an agurment everyday and it was not because of us, a bill that should have been say 150, 000 always ended up 300, 000 so enough was enough last year. As the week went on, he was sick that he didn't have are business because there was usually between 4 of us and 4 to 6 girls with us. But he fucked that up on his own. Also for those that know he has diabetes and had stopped drinking. Well he is back saucing pretty good again, I new that wouldn't last! From Bonys we headed over to Cabo de palo (sp?) restaurant catey corner from Armitrade Hotel, its pricey but I like it. I always sit outside and we had a big pitcher of Sangria and some steaks. (300, 000 with tip) We then head over to Olympica and pick up some water beer cereal milk etc. Then we start walking back to the apartment and as we approach the apartment sure enough there are some girls lingering around. A couple of the guys take the supplies up to the Penhouse and 2 of us stay down to chat up the girls the best we can with are limited spanish. I am not positive on the names but one is like Paula and the other is Roche? Paula says she can call a couple more friends over and we agree on 80, 000 peso for a couple hours each, but first we have to check out the other girls she is going to call over. Both Paula and Roche are nice, then a girl called gissete comes up and I take her, she is on the dark side, about 20 years old and is the littlest girl I have ever been with! One hand could palm her ass. We head up to the Penhouse and of course they love it, we have a security camera that looks directley at the front desk, so when Paula friends arrive we can see them nicely. There are two of them Claudia and Tatiana again not positive on the names but I am close. So security calls and we say send them up. So now there are 4 of us and 5 of them there all nice. I leave it up to my buds on what to do and take gissete to the cuzzi where she loved it (first she got a showere in my room) whe blew me like there was no tomorrow, some of my friends came out to the cuzzi with there girls and I headed to my room and had a great extended session with G. Gave her 100, 000 instead of 80, 000. It was more then worth it and it was now around 7:30pm Sent her on her way and took a nap till 1AM.

We all got showered and dressed, nice jeans, hip shirts (no not my helado shirt that you busted my balls about you know who you are) and a nice pair of shoes! Dressing well and being well groomed goes along way with these girls. I don't care what you think, treat them like working girls and you will be treated like a working girl. Treat them nice and you will be well treated. You can take that to the bank! By the way all the girls during the day had a great time with us and my one buddy kept Paula and brought her to the club and also left with her. I picked up 2 girls tonight, I would say they were 8's early 20's and believe it or not I didn't find out till the next day they were cousins, and I mean kissing cousins! 200, 000 each all night. I had a blast! We didn't awake next day untill about 12 noon and I took them to beach. All my buds also had great girls also. It was a great first day.

We are now on the second day and we headed to beach, I got my two girls and I swear I cannot remember either ones name? I thinks the brunette was Vanessa but I am not positive, we eat lunch at Requisimo and head down to beach in front of El bony. We get massages from Luce Marina who I adore and gives a great Massage for 40, 000 peso. 2 of my buds got girls and 1 of my friends is Solo, his girl went home. Another great day and the girls go on there way. My one friend still is with Paula. I go home and take a nap and get ready for night 2!

Wake up around midnight again and we all head out. Keep in mind my buddy in 902 always comes up to are penhouse and we make drinks to walk down to the bar with. Also 902 man is still with Paula who has been bringing him treats. To keep him happy and she is indulging in the treats with him, so there all more then happy! She is not the best looking girl but is treating him well and ad in the treats (girls) she is bringing him on the side he has nothing but a smile on his face. This night I meat a girl I had a major problem with on one of my trips, though I think it was of my own doing, (do to some heavy drug and alcohol use) so we never got to play. Well this night we make up and I been wanting to have this girl since I fucked things up with her months ago. We all grab girls and head back to PH, this was after drinking 2 large bottles of Medellin Rum at LDV with tip 350, 000 My buddy took Vanessa this night (the girl I had the previous night but her cousin was home) We all had a great night. Now keep in mind my girl has tattoos like a gang member (probably is or was in a gang do to the knuckle tats) and when I tell my buds, who all know the story of the problem I had with her months ago they are all a little scared and learry of her. I am not going to mention her name, though I know it very well, she turned out to be a really great person. I ended up keeping her most of the trip and had a great time with her. I would take her to the beach and such and then when she would go home for the night I would grab a street girl to play with for a few hours to keep things lively because my gang member girl was not into me being with other girls. She was alot of fun and also got me the best see and m for the littliest money I have ever paid, my friends now loved her too! We got a bag of pot creepa (size wise it was about 5 inch long 3 inch high and and 1 thick, I mean alot of pot) for 40 us dollars and let me tell you this shit fucked us all up big time.

We end up taking all the girls to the beach today and decide to keep them for the night so we don't have to go to LDV tonight, which will be are 3rd night. Great day on the beach! The girls all leave later in the day and we all decide to meet at the PH at around 9pm (my nap will be short today) on the way back I pick up a girl named something like Paulow? Took her up and had a great hour and a half for 100, 000 before I went to sleep. Had about 3 hour nap and my friends woke me up and I grabbed a shower, dressed the girls started filtering in! We were partying while hanging out, my one buddys friend did not show up, so Paula called one of her friends and off we went old city. We had a few drinks at Cafe Del Mar, We ate at a small italian restaurantin the walled city but I can't remember the name, then off to Mr Babbillas where we all had a great time. Back to the PH around 2am, everybody got naked between the cuzzi and bedrooms and it was a fun party night. No a great Party Night! The next day which I believe is the 4 day (Saturday) we sent all the girls home this day and took it easy. Told them we would see them at LDV tonight. We all we to beach and hung out talked to more girls etc. I went home and got a good nap and we headed out around 11:30 Saturday night.

To be continued![/QUOTE]Great report YouCan. Just one word of advise, be careful how much cripa you smoke. The reason most of this stuff seems to be the best pot you ever smoked is because it is laced with chemicals to increase the high and being Colombia who knows what kind of crap they are putting in there.

well here goes, i want to finish this report up! so its saturday and i had a great nap. we got up around 10pm or so and made up a few drinks. we probabaly left around 10:30 i originally said 11:30 but i know now that it was earlier then that because this saturday we skipped ldv but would have went if we didn't have any luck with are new plan for the night. we ended going over to the walled city that was jumping. we grabbed a table, at a place right to the right of the hardrock and had some drinks. there were alot of nice women walking around. very friendly, my one buddy who is half nuts was up and dancing. keep in mind this area has all tables on the street and is outside, with salsa music playing and many many people walking around. low and behold within 10 minutes my buddy had a group of girls dancing with him that ended up back at are table. after some drinks and fun, not long, we ended up taking them into the hardrock for some apps. this time there were six of them! unless some peeled off there were 2 of us that were going to end up with 2 girls each! after some appts we went back out and had 1 or 2 more drinks, by this time the girls had kind of decided who liked who and i ended up with 2 girls. we went back to the ph and carried on the party till about 5am. i honestly don't think these girls had done this alot, because they had no clue of the pricing. they were between 50, 000 and 100, 000 which in my mind was a great deal for these girls. all between 18 and 22. i feel safe to say they were all maybe 8's or better. but i don't know, i think it depends what you like. attitude wise they were 10's. we ended up giving them all 100, 000 in the morning and breakfast. my girls names were sofia and anya? they were not into each othere but worked me over good, i had a great time. we told them were we would be on the beach on sunday, but ended up just going to a small bar and drinking and people watching and listening to are music that the bar owner hooked up to an ipod connection. so while listening to the likes of the rolling stones and such and having people walk by and think where the fuck did all this american music come from that was blasting away and very audible to the sidewalk we had a great afternoon.

sunday late afternoon, we called sofia and asked them if they wanted to come out for the night. she was a little pissed because some of them did go to the beach and we never showed up, so we told them if they came out tonight we would make it up to them. she said fine and asked where. so we told them we would meet them at the same salsa place in the walled city. she asked if we were really going to show up and we promised we would. i took a short nap and we headed out after showering. we were a little late but so were they. this time there was only 4, my one girl anya didn't show up but 4 did and that was perfect, we drank and danced in that area of the walled city and then at at arepa pues in boca. we had another great night and sent these girls on there way in the morning.

monday we took it easy on the drinking and hung out late at the apartment. went to ldv mondany and tuesday nights. i kept my crazy tattoo girl the rest of the trip. that about wraps it up. we pretty much went the beach, hung out and had a great trip.

hope some of this helps my fellow travelers. i hate the word mongers!
