Tuesday Lapdances
Last night a few of us went out for dinner and then decided to go find a dance club.
We thought a very easy task, but this ended up being a very difficult one. This city doesn´t have much in the way of weekly entertainment. It looks like things only happen on weekends.
Desperate and not wanting to go back to the hotel, we thought we´d go to a strip club instead.
Not an easy thing to find.
We gave up and continue on walking down the road, when some guy pops out of nowhere and gives Steve a card for a ¨private¨ strip show.
Super...lets go!
Steve, Dauk, Lynne and myself venture in and make sure we negotiate well so we don´t get scammed in some way. Cost was 30 Peso´s for a drink each......which we had to pay, and then 60 peso´s for one girl......private room, dancing to 2 or 3 songs. You pick the girl.
I don´t know who picked ours, and I can´t remember her name, but Lynne got a bit more info when she sat down with us for a drink before she started to dance. All I remember is that she has 2 kids. We had to ask Lynne to stop interogating her on her private life.
The girl danced for about 1.5 songs......Britany Spears...........top off towards the end. G string on. She managed to take Steve´s shirt off and play a bit with Dauk. Lynne & I just laughed. After the girl stopped dancing I said that we were promised one more song, so she continued.
We also had options of free drinks while she danced, so we all ordered another one.
When the song ended, the first women that collected our money, a small non smiling Russian type women, comes to our group and demands more money.....¨to pay for the dancers drink¨. We are thinking maybe 30 Peso´s........NOPE.........she wanted 240 Peso´s ($80.00 US)! That´s when we all starting going a bit crazy, Dauk and Lynne saying no way, me screaming in Spanish that we asked beforehand on cost and that we were not going to pay.
Quiet Steve then says.."I´ll just pay it". That got me going even more. NO WAY were we going to be taken advantage of!
With everyone talking at once, we all put down our drinks and just start heading up the stairs to leave.......without paying of course.
Proof that this was a scam, as we had no bouncers chasing after us.
We were in this place for about 1 hour. Cost us 45 Peso´s each ($15.00 uSD).
Pure entertainment Buenos Aires style.
