Ten night romp in Santiago, Chile.
Damn, I should have re-read my last post from 2013 before I decided the place was back on my bucket list. Oh well, here is my complete report from December 2016.
First off, I decided to mix the trip with mongering and meeting up with civvies. Well, a lot of that did not work out. I wasn't feeling my best the entire trip as well.
Logistics:
Flight:
I flew AA round trip from San Diego for $1500 and some change. 3 hours to Dallas and another 9 hours to Santiago.
Logging:
I rented a 2-bedroom apartment in a good location, in Bellas Artes. I rented through Airbnb. I paid 80 bucks a night. The place was rather small, but it suited my basic needs.
Money:
The currency in Chile is pesos. The rate was about 1 US dollar to 673 pesos. I just figured that 1000 pesos was $1. 50,10,000 was $15.00 and so forth. I cashed in $100 US at the airport and got a shitty rate of 641 to 1. No passport needed.
But in the city, on Agustinas, between Bandera & Morande, there were several camibo places with different rates. I found a couple that had 670 to 1 rate; so I cashed in there. No passport needed.
I brought almost new $50 notes, but two were marked by a pen. Those notes were declined, but the place next door took the bills.
Tipping in Chile: Here is a real good read on tipping on Trip Advisor:

Duty Free:
There was a Duty Free at the airport, but I did not have to use the service.
Communication:
I have the T-Mobile North American plan. My plan gave me unlimited data at 2 G speed, calls at 20 cents per minute and free texts. Thus, I started using WhatsApp on my regular phone. I started chatting with my Airbnb host before I left. As long as I had a WiFi signal, WhatsApp was free of charge. I was chatting on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Skype; including video calls for no charge whatsoever.
Transportation:
From the airport, I used a regular taxi; 20 K pesos. Because I was leaving Christmas night, I tried to arrange advance transportation, but no one seem to have drivers available. This made me a tad nervous, but I remember reading a TR that stated Uber was in Santiago. Yes, the power of TRs!
So I brought up Uber on my phone, and low and behold, there were some drivers in my area. The driver I had was nervous about being discovered at the airport. When he let me off, we hugged each other like we were best friends. The cost was about half of a regular taxi. And hell, I got a free hug to boot!
Spanish school:
I attended Escuela Newen for two classes a day, Monday through Friday, for one week. I paid for 10 classes, which came out to be just over 17 US per class. Escuela Newen also took my Visa card for the payment.
Food:
The food was good, but could not hold a candle to Lima. I ate and drank at a butt-load of restaurants:
El Diabilto good.
Mambolda tapas sucked, did I mentioned it sucked?
San Remo good.
Fusion Holandesa good late night food.
El Rapido great fast food the Barros Luco!
Bar National really good Chilean dishes.
Juan why Medio. Really good Chilean dishes.
La Piojera great bar and a very good pig leg.
The Women:
Because the trip was to focus on Spanish, I contacted a few women on Latin American Cupid. The ones I contacted had no English speaking skills. This does take time and a lot of effort. All the Latin American Cupid girls were flakes and we never hooked up. I also had some hits on Tinder, but the 3 girls I chatted with wanted at least 150 US for an hour; fuck that.
World Traveler 69: This dude is a serious monger that creates lists and maps of monger venues in several countries. I found Santiago quite boring, so I focused my efforts on helping him update his map of Santiago.

Monger Venues:
First and foremost venue:
Caf Con Piernas (Coffee with legs) - There are three types:
Type 1: They are respectful cafes with doors open and transparent windows. The women all wear short skirts or tight fitting clothing; pretty fucking boring to say the least. The women looked hot, but I want to touch them dammit! Examples of these cafes are Haiti and Caribe.
Type 2: These places have their windows covered. The girls either wear lingerie or bathing suites. The girls are good looking and nice to practice Spanish with, but nothing sexual will happen.
I found a bunch of these types in one area, in the Galeria Santiago, Av. Libertor Bernardo 949-969. They were all on the bottom floor:
Alibaba.
Ipanema.
Bahia.
Cianal.
Elitte.
Zofanio.
Olimpo.
Starleg.
Marylin.
Type 3: BINGO! These places also have their windows covered; and for a damn good reason; SEX! I found over 20 of these places just walking around the city. The ones I went into, about 12 in total, the lady drink cost 2 K. Some had beer, but most did not. OK, so you buy on drink for the chica, and the heavy petting begins. Once you buy the second drink, sex is offered and prices varied in the cafes. But, 40 K seemed to be the going price at most of the places. I was very surprised how good looking the women were in these places.
Here is one of my experience at #26 no name caf. I was walking around this 5/6 floor shopping center (there were 5 in that mall), more like a strip mall, and when I was walking by one of the places with windows blacked out, the door opened slightly and a hand reached out and beckoned me to enter; I just had to go inside.
It was kind of dark inside and music was playing. The place was small. There were 3 other girls in the place. The girl that grabbed me was pretty. She led me around this makeshift barrier and she had me sit in this makeshift seat (behind the makeshift barrier), I was content. I ordered water and after I bought her one drink, she went to town! She offered me her ass and other body parts. I was a happy camper!
Before I knew what was happening, she had unzipped my jeans and was tugging at the Little Sailor! I was in shock! I guess she had no idea just how timid I was! At that point, she asked me for a second drink; yep, I bought it. Then she told me she wanted to have sex and told me it would cost 40 K. I asked where, and she pointed to the bathroom. I consulted with Little Sailor and we both agreed; let's do this! The Little Sailor and I had a great time!
Strip bars / clubs:
I was determined to gather as much information as possible. In each bar / club, I asked several questions and did my best to write the answers on my trusty note pad. As each night went on, the more I drank. Thus, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to correct me. All the prices are in pesos.
I always drink screwdrivers when I travel, and always with the house vodka; Smirnoff. However, most of the clubs used Absolute.
NOTE: The girls are all business, my guess it is because of house or union rules. If they do not have a drink in front of them, they bail! In many of the places, I turned down buying a drink for a girl, but sure as shit, the next girl came to try to sell her game.
All the clubs in Bellas Artes seemed to have the same menu, as if they were part of some damn union, but the prices varied between the women. Each club required you buy an expensive drink, kind of like an exit fee to the room / VIP area. And none of them had a cover charge.

Street Walkers:
I saw quite a few around the corners of Santo Domingo and Veintiuno de Mayo, especially on the weekend evenings. Also there were some on San Antonio, between Santo Domingo and Monjitas. Some of them looked like trannies; be careful mates.
Conclusion:
I found Santiago boring, dirty, and expensive. There were a lot of places to monger; but with over the top pricing. It's a huge tourist city with way too many gringos as far as I'm concerned. If you want to travel that far south, I would recommend Buenos Aires instead. Having said that, I have no regrets. I enjoyed romping through the city, and had some good food to boot.
Would I recommend the city to other mongers; NO!
No comparison between Santiago and Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires wins hands down.
