Day 1 - SF / Woodman Tour
First and foremost, if you haven't done Woodman's tour, you need to. As someone who had been to SF many times previously, I learned a whole lot from Woodman stuff that I didn't know I didn't know LOL. Simply put, he is a cool ass dude who knows his way around.
Anyways, I arrived yesterday afternoon to El Dorado for my month long trip here to Colombia. Customs was quick and easy. Make sure you have your CheckMIG form or whatever it is called. I brought a paper copy and the immigrations officer examined it briefly, asked me the few usual questions (how long are you here, etc.), stamped my passport, and then I was on my way. Took a yellow taxi from the airport to the hotel.
Checking in was smooth and seamless. Went to the ATM then came back to relax for a bit before meeting up with Woodman and another monger (sorry I forgot to ask for your handle if you're reading this) for the tour around 630. We walked straight to SF and Woodman showed me areas that I did not even know existed previously. He stated the influx of Venezuelan immigrants has essentially made SF a boom town and the area has expanded pretty significantly. After a while we decided to check out the clubs and I'm pretty sure we went to every single club that was open. Troya, Paisas, Fiebre, Venus, California, Atunis. Given that it was the night before NYE, it was not as crowded as usual, but we saw a pretty good amount of talent in Troya and Venus. Woodman did us a huge solid and introduced us to some reliable waiters as well, which will be important later in the night (to be discussed shortly).
None of us had any sessions by the time the tour was over simply because we were all just relaxing and having a good time enjoying the scenery, having some drinks, etc. Woodman showed us some pretty cool stuff that he does, which I won't ruin and will just let him explain it to you if you take the tour. Once we said our farewells to Woodman, we went back to Troya which had a pretty good selection, and then Venus which also had a good selection. By this time the police had closed most of the clubs so you have to go through back doors when no one is around don't worry the guys outside will be asking for you to come in LOL. I got a lap dance at Troya which was mediocre and the girl, while attractive to me (I must admit I am a fan of plastic), had a bad attitude.
At Venus, one of the waiters that Woodman introduced us to was very considerate. He identified the girls that provide the best service, and he was absolutely correct. I had a quick 20-minute session with a 24 y / o Venezuelan, and she was spectacular (70 k and I did not negotiate). Friendly, no rush, and showed enthusiasm. My fellow monger friend, who previously in the night said he was not in the mood, had a session as well because when I came back he was gone! The waiter told me he convinced him to see a girl that was supposedly pretty good.
At the end of the night, the waiter hailed us a taxi and gave very explicit instructions. Even more so he texted me to ensure I got back to my hotel safely and made note that he took the cab driver's info just in case before we left. Also paid a very fair price.
Key takeaways from the first night:
- Bring a mask because cops are on the lookout.
- The selection was not incredible but it was fair. Woodman explained that it will be back to normal after new years when people return from the holidays.
- When you find a reliable waiter, tip them for their services and they will take care of you. The specific waiter from Venus never even asked for a tip, which to me was a good sign.
- Clubs will be closed tonight and tomorrow night according to a couple waiters. I might wander through anyways just to see.
- Take Woodman's tour.
In the coming days I will visit casas, the mezzanine, SF, and more. I will likely be heading back to SF on Saturday night. I also plan on trying a couple agencies if anyone has any good recommendations (besides La Celestina, of which I am already aware).
Best,
TIA.
