Crime in Medellin
I'd like to throw my 2 cents in on the subject of crime in Medellin.
I'm finishing up 2 weeks staying in El Centro and walking all over the area, daytime into early evening. This is my 3rd time in Medellin.
I haven't been robbed, threatened, or hasseled once.
Maybe I've been lucky, naive or my time is coming. OR maybe I'm doing something right.
I've spent the vast majority of my chica time in the 2 Red Light districts in El Centro. Been there at least 3 dozen times, mostly the one at Carrera 53 y Calle 51. I make it a point to be out of there by 8 pm. At night.
During the daytime there's a whole day shift cadre of chicas, shopowners, shoppers, employees, families, and children. Also there is alot of police, security guards, and para-military around. It feels safe to me.
My 4 rules are:
1. Dress ´down´
2. Dont bring valuables
3. Dont bring a wallet
4. DONT BRING VERY MUCH MONEY.
I personally feel the crime situation scenario is way over blown. In my time here I´ve never felt afraid.

Q: How does a real man know when a woman has an orgasm?
A: A real man doesn't care.[/QUOTE]Well first of all, I was only being SARACASTIC when I was talking about how many orgasms a chica has had, because the other dude was going on and on about it.
Do you really think I count them?
Hello, high school was over for me quite a while ago.
Secondly, your definition of a real man is way off from mine.
That's probably why chicas dig me amigo, cause I do care. :)

[QUOTE=Frank Casio] As my guest said, if 2 of his large fingers went in, why not the rest. But in my case, I think my head is 3 fingers, so it will take a little more convincing.
Frank Casio![/QUOTE]Frank, that's because you have really small fingers!

[QUOTE=LuckyEddie]There most likely targeting easy targets. If that happens to be gringos so be it. Please don't make it seem as if these perps are letting Colombians who are easy targets just walk on by as they lie in wait for the English guy. They will mug ANYONE.
The bottom line is you need to be really careful, don't travel alone, carry nice things or lots of money, wear flashy stuff, etc... The same as you would do in any major city, just double. Not a big deal really.[/QUOTE]In the case of the five guys that got robbed on the way to Carrefour and 2 in Poblado, whether you are traveling alone didn't make much of a difference. The risk/reward for the thieves is better with more than one. If you dress in a low key way, you may have a lower chance of detection.

ATM/cash
With all the talk about crime etc. I, m wondering about atm verus cash etc. My wiingman and I are still coming down to medillin regardless of these mixed reports. We are Canadian so don't want to bring canuck bucks with us as it may be hard to cambio? So we will be relying on atm's
How reliable are they? Are there lots? What do most of you pooners do re-dinero?
Cheers

Poblado is a magnet for jerks of all types. I personally hate poblado, never go there, avoid it like addictions, and wonder why of why other mongers like it there. Other than Loutron's, which is the very best, why would anyone want to go there. The Mansion? UGH!
If you are in Poblado and pasty white, you sir are a target.
I like the way Firewalker works.

Cheers[/QUOTE]ATM is the best way. Make sure you call your card service number and tell them you will be in Colombia for whatever your dates are. Lots of ATM's.

Cheers[/QUOTE]There is _no_ need to bring excessive amounts of cash. There are _plenty_ of ATM's that are all over Medellin. You can get all the cash you need on a day-to-day basis from the ATM's. There is no crime in Medellin, just fabulous Paisas. ;-)

Cheers[/QUOTE]ATM's are fairly reliable and plentiful and will give you the best exchange rate,leave the Canadian money at home,you will get fucked at the cambios.
That being said just be careful of your surroundings when at the ATM and have your wingman with you when you need to use them and avoid using them at night.

This is a puta board. You guys were talking/joking about giving putas 8.5 orgasms. For me I give orgasms to chics that matter, chics I am NOT paying. If I gotta a TLN with a puta I got chemistry with I'll give it a shot. But when I'm in the casas or strip clubs for 1/2 hour or full hour I'm there to get off because it beats jerking off and I like the excitement. I'm not there to impress her. The last thing I would do is brag about giving a working girl an orgasm. Thats like posting about the money I received from the tooth fairy. JMHO.

What's the name of the chica on the right on the ORGY pic from Linda Chicas?
[QUOTE=Frank Casio]Hi guys,
These are some of La Mayorista cuties as posted by some of you on ISG. I have about 8 more from Loso69, but the files are so big I havn´t been able to shrink them.
The first Carolina was one of my girls that now works at the Medellin Mansion.
Geraldine, alias Demi Moore, you all know. The bare ass is one of the girls from "Casa Sexy" which one of my guests found moon lighting or working in La Mayorista. The second Carolina, the blonde, Loso69 picked up at La Mayorista.
Last but not least, is the foursome orgy perpetrated on those 4 Poor cuties from Casa Lindas Chicas, by the infamous Loso69, PanamaMike, VicsPics and yours truly,
Frank Casio![/QUOTE]

C$ at the cambio
Vandadio, went to the cambio in Ovieda today, and got 1710 pesos for my C$, at xe.com the rate is 1812, so I guess that is about a 6% hit. Pretty ugly, I guess, the usual cdn / us rate is about a 3% loss. I brought them with me, so might as well use them. There is no trouble exchanging C$ for pesos, just bring your passport
