Disco Bar La Dolce Vita filled with US Agents wasting Plan Colombia $$$$

I heard on Caracol radio today prepagos in Cartagena are starting to complain.
It seems there are several U.S. Agents along with Colombian Agents, who spend their nights at La Dloce Vita disco bar. According to one prepago they are there every night, wasting money on booze and flirting with the prepagos........
If this is true , I think the U.S. Attorney's Office needs to investigate the waste of
Plan Colombia $$$....................

Are they in there all day and night spending mucho money then expensing it to a US Govt. account or just when off duty and with "their" own pay??

It better not be the former or they need to get some serous punishment.

I heard LDV is some type of ill-repute type establishment.

Pod, no b.s it was on the radio here FM 105.7, I guess the prepago was not getting any DEA
My guess is she was envious of the other prepagos getting Plan Colombia pesos.
Then again she might be mad cause they pay with weak U.S. dollars.

DD--I am well traveled in Little Habana and the areas you speak of! The truth of the matter, its one of my Favorite places in Miami. Real People of all flavors populate Calle 8, unlike that plastic jungle known as South Beach, replete with Fakes of all types! And overpriced Eateries, Bars, Ever Present Beach Towing Service(ready to take your car) Clip joints, Dishonest venders of all sorts. The Wet/Dry Foot law and the Cuban Freedom act of 1967(where cubans receive permenent residency in one year) are all Laws that are filled with fraud and that should be repealed. I have had some of my best times in Calle Ocho and Little Habana. In a few weeks, I will attend Little Habana's the Famous "Calle Ocho" Street festival. Its actually FREE, one of my pre-requistes for attending, LOL. I won't pay over $10 for an entrance fee to any of these Cultural Affairs in Miami! Too much Good Stuff for Free! Believe it or not, NOT all Cubans are the same. Like Americans, Haitians and Colombians, there are good and Bad. Only the Bad garner Publicity and these are the ones we always hear about. One nice thing about hooking up with a Cubana,you know she isn't after you for the Green card. And they are the Hottest Women, Bar none,,,

DD-When I worked at the Krome Detention Center in SW Miami, I had one of those Rolex(mariner style) wearing Cubans stroll through the Clinic I worked in there. Almost had a Coronary when I saw that bling on his wrist. And me wearing a $15 Timex! LOL The Cubans were by far the best physical Specimens(as far as physical condition, disease free, lack of cavities ect) that passed through Krome from the Latin American Countries.

MM-- I having lived prev in Miami, know there is good and bad Cubanos. I believe most are
decent people, and they make a great sandwich sold everywhere in Miami. I just believe the wet foot dry foot law has seen too many abuses... You 100% about the Cubanitas not being visa hunters, and there are some really pretty ones that attend the Festival Calle Ocho.. They the Cubanos also play a mean hand of poker at the racetrack in Miami.. I know I got beat out of many a dollar in hold em
by a Cubano named Wilmer there a few times...

I used to go to the Miami Jai Li on NW 36 st for the Boxing matches--a pretty hardscrabble neighborhood and up the street to the "Tipico" a Domincan Merengue bar. Lots of Fun but NOT a Tourist Destination. No South Beach Types found there LOL,,, Further out on Calle Ocho are a few Colombian Tabernas and once inside, you would swear you were in Colombia, all Cumbia, Vallenato music, no english spoken and LOTS of Single Colombianas. No reason to go to Colombia if these are your target! LOL

MM, you and I both know , the Miami Colombina is more picky in the type of man she wants.
They tend to stick more to their own kind and age bracket, as they are not trying to reach the USA. Though some do like Sugar daddy's just read Craigslist for Miami.

cali373 says on Feb 27, 2008, 22:49:

It is not as simplistic as the post states. Most of the money from plan colombia is handled by USAID (the term makes me laugh too) and used to pruchase military equipment it is not provided to agents to implement plan Colombia. If there are alot of US or Colombian agents that are part of a plan colombia program, it is probably there salary and frankly I find it hard to believe that prepagos are complaining abot men spending money near them.

DD-if one has a fair command of Spanish and is realistic Age Wise(not a 50 yr old male with a 25 yr old bombshell)you may be surprised what you can meet. expectations have to equal reality! These will NOT be found in South Beach or in Craigslist, nothing but Green Card Hounds or Materialistas there. True, they are more selective because they no longer need a Gringo for that all important document, a Green card. There are many however that are on the hunt as that All Important Tourist Visa has Lapsed and they are now "Out of Status". I mostly hang out with a Cuban Woman and forego the green card games. That is a headache I simply don't need at my stage in life. Life is too too short!

LDV used to be located in el Centro. It has been at its current location in el Laguito since at least 2002. I haven't been there in at least a year and a half. From what I hear from friends who have been there, the girls aren't complaining. Their asking prices have substantially increased.

Very few, if any, US Agents would identify themselves as such. What they do on their off hours and how they spend their time and money has nothing to do with Plan Colombia.

This is as far as I got in this thread.

Tax Dollars? Someone's salary? Millitary drinking and visiting prostitutes? I have one question Mr Dogs and the OP: Are you both REALLY this ignorant or am I fool feeding the trolls? Obviously if I waste my time reading this thread somewhere down the line you will reveal that you were just being sarcastic. If not it's time to go to your room.

jaja dodger, your androids comment lets even the most naive reader know your real bias. If you follow the usual colombiamike path you should blow up pretty soon, then apologize, get booted off and come back and repeat.

just a suggestion, put some more thought into these stories.

If you had said, for example, some american tourists in cartagena saw US military types spending tax dollars recklessly on prepagos and perico, MAYBE someone would have bought it.

Only the ones who don't think about how someone tells a tax dollar from a paycheck that is, but you might fool someone : )

Having worked for the Fed Govt 22 years, Nothing would surprise me the way US Tax Dollars are spent. Some Agencies give their employees an awful lot of Leeway in how and what to spend funds on, some of it unbelievable and mindboggling to Joe Taxpayer.

I was there a couple of times. One with a friend who visited me from Italy.
The guy is good looking and educated. I don't know why Italians get attracted by black girls... he wanted to get home an black girl who looked like a transvestite, saying that she was beautiful.
I didn't let him. She should have had paid him.

Going there is fun! It is like a visit to the zoo. And I am not talking just about the girls.
