Santiago was an interesting city because the city is not centralized. Centro is business. It has shopping, restaurants and offices and is pleasant during the day. It is dead after dark. Unlike most cities, there is not a tacky bar filled area surrounding Centro. There is a restaurant area, which on the other side of the river from Centro, but there did not seem to be any working girls there. Because Santiago has an overabundance of taxis, the taxi drivers work long hours and will hire out for the day for about US$50. This is cheaper than renting a car and paying for gas. On my first night I hired a taxi driver for a single ride back to my hotel after exploring and when he offered to be my "chauffer" I accepted. He drove me to my destinations, waited for me and took me to my next appointment in the day, then took me to my evening activities. He worked for me from about 8 am to the following 3 am. He napped in the taxi when I was on business or pleasure or taking my siesta from about 5 pm to 9pm. The first night with Juan Carlos, I asked if he knew any strip joints ("Clubs de Noche donde las chicas baillan desnudas") He told me that there were none. We discussed other alternatives and the only thing available that was similar were bars with high priced drinks where the girls would sit with you and hustle drinks at about $20 a piece. He told me that it was not worth it. Being in the exploring mood, I asked him to take me to one and found out that he was right. I got hustled, and got nowhere. He had also mentioned apartments with working girls, so I asked for that next. There is no use giving an address, because the place did not have one. It seemed to be an ordinary apartment building in a residential neighborhood. If you didn't know where it was, you would never find it and it had no special sign. The doorman let me in and I went to a small "reception room" which had a couch and the manager offered me a $5 beer, then explained the rules. The available girls would come in and introduce themselves. After they have introduced themselves, I tell him which one I want and pay approximately $100 for 1 hour. About 8 girls proceeded come into the room and kiss me on the cheek they introduce themselves. Very brief, "Hello, my name is.." Then the girl would leave and the next one would come in. In general they were about 22-28 years old and pretty, but no centerfolds. They were dressed in either lingerie or swimsuits. Unfortunately, I am lousy with names and ended up describing the lingerie of the girl that I chose rather than giving her name. I paid my money and the girl took me upstairs, where there were several bedrooms and a bath. She gave me a towel and told me to take a shower. I invited her to come with me but she passed on that. After a quick shower, I went to the room and found her on the bed. After she closed the door, she kissed me on the cheek and began removing her clothes. I noticed that the table had a small towel and a pack of condoms. She was pretty, but she didn't French kiss. B.J was with a condom. Penetration was with a condom. It was all very businesslike. When the hour was over, there was a knock at the door and we dressed. I went back to the reception room, she kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye. The girls were pretty, but it lacked fantasy. In my three nights
