Hello, all. I am taking a trip to MDE this weekend. I just saw Monday is ALL Saints Day in Colombia. I am just making sure before I get on my flight Thursday Afternoon that everything will be open and MDE will be hopping like normal this weekend.
I made the mistake of going to A latin American country over Semana Santa.Easter one year and the whole country was dead for a week.
I do not want to make a mistake again like that.
Just want to know if ALL will be open and there are no weird liquor laws or early closure laws this weekend. Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]Some of the Fellas who live down Medellin full time might be better judges but from what I've seen when there is a Puente weekend (I think that's what they call it in Col.) Medelliln will be kind of dead. I've been down there for I'd say 8-10 times not knowing it was a long weekend and the party scene was dead! Clubs, bars, Lleres, the streets, dead with tumbleweeds rolling around. Everybody hits up the Finca and once again it's just in my experience IME, this also sucks a big chunk of the Working Girls out of the pool as well. They get hired out for the long weekend. I assume you meant the party scene as you drew a comparison to your Samana Santa experience the regular casas should be open but it will be on a case by case basis; I can't remember if any were open last time this happened to me. Hmmm.
Colombia has a TON of long weekends and not a single one of them is able to tell you what they're for or about! They just know that there is no work and the banks are closed! Some friendly advice; On Thurs & Friday lock up as many girls numbers as you can and have them on stand by for Sun and Mon just in case because if you're looking to party "normally" I don't think it's going to happen or rather as large of a party you'd envision. Good luck, hope this helps and please report back

Slamcity. Thanks for the post. That is actually what I am afraid of. These Latin American countries and there holidays are nuts. I was in El Salvador for New years eve this year thinking it would be a huge party. The exact opposite as everyone stays in their houses with there Family. Or they all leave the city for the beach. It was a ghost town. All bars everything closed!
In anycase, We will be there from Thurs night to Sunday morning so hopefully Friday and Saturday night will be normal.
As long as the chicas are around and plentifull in the strip clubs, Medellin Mansion, Mayorsita et I am happy!
A lot of the Apt rentals and also hotels are very full so that may or not be a sign. It has been hard booking one. Even the mansion es completely full.
Well, I guess its too late now as I bought my ticket last night and so did my friend off to the airport I go.
If anyone else has any advice let me know. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Crankdownonit;1213378]Went on a ************ tour last night to a bunch of cool places including a place where everybody openly parties on. From there hit some strip clubs and casas. The cool park where everyone was high was great for a couple vodkas and fresh OJ's and music from back in the day![/QUOTE]That's awesome, thanks for this! Good lookin out!

A lot of my boys and lady friends are leaving tonight to the coast. Besides that? Medellin will be on a regular debauchery schedule LOL. If you are worried about not finding anything good for Sunday Monday, you better stock up on good puta performers digits prior.

Miami Heat. Thanks- I kind of figured things at least Fri and Sat would be business as usual with Sunday and Monday dead. We are leaving Sunday AM so hopefully I'm good.
One more question. We are staying in an Apartment and was told there is No Ac in most Medellin apartments including this one. Last 3 times I was there I stayed in a hotel with AC.
Climate seemed fine at night but during the day it was warm.
I am assuming with just a fan in the bedroom and the windows open we should still be okay. Any thoughts.

Ac
My buddy Jeff is a AC baby, and he has no problem in Medellin with the ceiling fan on sleeping. Not even windows open. If you must have AC, maybe a hotel with AC is the way to go? Best part of living in Medellin is no need for AC or heaters. This might be a question for the sub topic of hotels and apartments and not under reports.

It changes daily and even hourly sometimes, from hot and sunny to dark, cold, rainy and windy in a span of hours. It is so strange and people talk of "rainy seasons" For me? This 2011 was the year of the rain. It rained so freaking much, sometimes all day and all night for weeks. I have never seen so many streets and sides of mountains washed away from the rain erosion. I kinda laugh at the guys trying to cement the sides of these mountain i was like "if mother nature wants to take that concrete along with the side of the mountain, shes gonna do it easily"
This in turn would make things windy, cooler and bearable for me. Usually though when there is no rain and no wind the air becomes very stagnant and uncomfortable for me and I long for AC or at least a FAN to put on me and blow the air around. They call Medellin the city of the Eternal Spring but being from Miami I don't know how they do it all year long without A / C or even ceiling fans. I rent many apartments in MDE and none of them had neither so I had to beg the rental companies for one or NOW? I bring my own fan, believe me it makes all the difference for me in the day and at night when I'm trying to sleep.

Thanks for the great input. If the apt doesn't have a fan I will run to store and buy one. Can't sleep without one. Especially after a night of passionate love making. Yeah right!

[QUOTE=John Gault; 1212653]You can't put up with a girl your paying 100K for an hour to talk on the phone for 15 minutes. Really that is outragous. Your friend needed to say something to the girl about it, and if she still did not get off the phone than the jeffe should have been informed of this on his way out the door.
As far as the casa's they are good value, and all that, but not my cup of tea.[/QUOTE]Heya Johnny G, speaking of your cup of tea, I've been on the ground running here in Medellin, met up with Lucky Eddy at the Mayo last night, had some good fun. Lucky is a cool cat.
Promised myself I wasn't going to fall in love on this trip, I've got too many "novias" between Brazil and Cali and Medellin already hahaha, but of course I met another angel last night. Downright beautiful.
Spent all last night with her, then today running around and hangin at the park with her and her hijo.
Oh well, you only live once, and I'm a quality over quantity type anyway.
Take care amigos, off and runnin'

Here in MDE
Tired of paying $50-60 USD for driver pickup, opted for microbus to san diego (7k cop) then taxi to mayorista (just over 10k cop) where I'm staying.
Mayo:
Took a mayo walk after a quick shower. Dissapointed. It's only 5pm.
After 2 hours of eating & settling in some more went back. Took carolina for 30k. In the street dark she looked doable: thin, nice face. Better light showed a beaky nose but what the hell, I'm not boinking her nose. Nice enough but mechanical. No 2nd's for me, thank you.
Fase dos:
Got there right before 9pm. 10k to see 4-5 girls texting, popping gum or gossiping while security is watching soccer on tv.
Runway empty. Hey, just like home at a neighborhood bar.
5k for an oj.
Couple of girls almost doable, that's it.
Handful of girls report for duty. Even in street clothes some have potentail. One caught my eye for the wrong reason. I swear she looked like she was wearing depends under those jeans. Nope. Her outfit revealed a HUGE ass.
Finally, they fire up the runway at 10pm. 1st girl ok but not 170k ok, after dance she got 2k from me to go away.
2nd girl: blagh. I'm out of there.
Got to remember: don't go to fase dos before 10pm. (they open at 6pm, why?)
Back to mayo:
Found paola (I think) for 30k. Nice face & bod. Kinda shitty attitude. Lousy lay. Shoulda quit while I was kind of ahead.
Some time in the eve. Guy rings doorbell at frank's ¨my place¨ looking for his friend. Couldn't help him.
If it was one of you guys, sorry I wasn't too chatty, mostly being cautious.
Off to hunt for woozle.

A friend of mine told me about a place called El Hanger however I have not seen any reference to it with all the posts I have read. Can anyone tell me if this place really exists?

Went to a place this afternoon called Exclusively for Men. In MetroCentro Rio sur. Its a legit massage place and we were not looking for extras. Just a great massage and they provided. The girls that were in there were 20-25 and all smoking hot. The massage is completely nude for the clients. They certainly brushed by the Hammer many times and the massage is excellent. I doubt she would have done anything extra if I asked although maybe for the right money but we were just looking for a good teaser for tonights festivities and they provided. 30, 000 pesos for a solid 65 minutes.
Nice and relaxing way to spend an hour.
In the apartment at night a fan and open window is great during the day when the sun is out and directed towards our side of the building its a little warm.
Also, is it just me or do the hot water heaters in these Latin Am. Countries amuse. This is one tiny little wall unit as big as a loaf of bread and the water moves through it and it instantly heats it. It is then directed towards the shower. Not as hot as our US model Water heaters get but good enough. Was in Nicarauga and the hotel we stayed at had this contraption on top of the shower pipe right before the head and it was an electrical thing with all these wires coming out. Just before the water exited the shower head it electrified it and become warm. Saw sparks and heard crackling sometimes. That has to have electrocuted some people.
