[QUOTE=Orion4;2713517]Is there a Colombian venmo-like app that can be used to pay these girls, or is it entirely cash only?[/QUOTE]There is an app called Nequi that they use.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2713542]There is an app called Nequi that they use.[/QUOTE]You need +57 number to send code.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2713542]There is an app called Nequi that they use.[/QUOTE]Most have a Bancolombia savings account (ahorros) to which you can send money. We won't get into why. Your money your choice.

Where are the best / safe ATM's to use in MDE specifically near mansion and parque lleras?

[QUOTE=Kbdb2488;2713584]Where are the best / safe ATM's to use in MDE specifically near mansion and parque lleras?[/QUOTE]The ATM's at the banks are whack. So many of them charge a conversion fee and an additional service charge just to use the ATM's. You need to check multiple ATM's to avoid paying the conversion fee.

[QUOTE=Kbdb2488;2713584]Where are the best / safe ATM's to use in MDE specifically near mansion and parque lleras?[/QUOTE]There's 3 ATMs Inside a small room on calle 10 carrera 40 on the side of the pharmacy right next to the pharmacy open 24 hours. There also one on calle 9 carrera 39 like a little into the street from parque Lleras. I'm pretty sure this one closes before sundown. Tho. Can't send pics because ISG is bugging out.

He might be right since at the very least there are a bunch of ATMs by different companies.

[QUOTE=DavidLuvsPussy;2713554]You need +57 number to send code.[/QUOTE]I have a +57 number. It cost like 5 k COP for a claro sim card. And 6 k to load it up with a weekly plan.

And the atms that don't charge fees are Davivienda, BBVA, and Banco Caja Social among others. I prefer Davivienda and Caja Social.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2713558]Most have a Bancolombia savings account (ahorros) to which you can send money. We won't get into why. Your money your choice.[/QUOTE]This is not true among the vennies I know they always use Nequi.

Another holiday here in Colombia, there are so many it's difficult to keep track. Last night with the soccer championship, it was quite rowdy and festive out during and after the game. Lots of new faces in Parque Illeras, at least new to me. Prices quoted were anywhere from 200 k-400 k per hour. A random vennie quoted me 600 k that had been here for a month, not sure who is paying those prices. Went out to centro for an afternoon delight, still quite a few chicas out even on a holiday. Did the usual stroll, prices quoted were 40-50 k, locals and local gringos might be paying less. Conejitas was open, Grill Nueva was closed.

Hearing is raining lots, you sound like you have zero jam up with weather, is that just yesterday or everyday bud?

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2713541]There are many options to send money, either to a bank account or for cash pickup. However, many girls don't have a bank account and you'll need to send cash before she arrives or you'll have a problem when you try to explain how she can pickup the money later.[/QUOTE]One of the options for sending money for cash pick up to Colombians if your in Colombia is to send money from a Gana or Sefecty office, and they are all over the place.

To do this this, the Colombian needs to have a Cedula, and all you need is their Cedula number, and which department they are located in at the time of the transfer.

When going to Gana or Sefecty to do this though, a foreigner will need to have their Passport with them to send money, and the Colombian, or a foreigner with a Cedula will have to have their Cedula with them to make the transaction.

In the Gana or Sefecty office, they will confirm the name of the person to get the money as their Cedula number will come up in the system along with the senders information.

And there is a charge for doing this, and is only something that can be done in Colombia.

Probably the easiest way to send cash for pick up to anyone which can be done from anywhere is thru Western Union, however it will be expensive as they will charge a fee and use a very low exchange rate, so the more you send, the more they hose you.

[QUOTE=UrbanCowboy22;2713665]Conejitas was open, Grill Nueva was closed.[/QUOTE]The problem is that Conejitas may as well be closed. Have been there quite a few times over the past year and it is a dreadful place every time. Never seen even a single girl that I fancy there. Grilla is the best place, and Victoria is good if you enjoy locas. Noches why chicas! Hehe.
