Medellin Chit Chat Thread

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2230641]If someone speaks no Spanish and stays somewhere else, they will experience more difficulty. There will be frustration and confusion. There's a greater chance they will be victim to some scam. It's unlikely they will enjoy the trip as much as they would if they spent a few hours a day picking up basic Spanish. However, it may not matter to them. They might be happy enough with their trip without Spanish.[/QUOTE]Each and every word of this post is true. Thanks JjBee62 for writing it so clearly.

I've been working on my Spanish for the last few years (slowly) and I'm far from being an expert or anything close.

I've noticed that certain idiomatic phrases in English just don't work in Spanish. Just a few obvious examples: We "take" a shower, they "shower themselves". We "spend" time, they "pass" time.

So, here is the point of my rambling. If I want to inquire about "going down" or "eating pussy" I have a suspicion that these idiomatic expressions won't make any sense in Spanish if translated literally.

I've used this phrase: Podria besarte entre sus piernas? (Could I kiss you between your legs). It generally works as far as understanding goes.

So, I'm curious if any of my amigos here with more polished Spanish know the correct way to phrase the question without being too crude.

Many thanks!

Many thanks![/QUOTE]Puedo besar tu vagina? (May / can I kiss your vagina?) I haven't encountered a chica yet who thinks that is crude. But usually, I start kissing down their stomach, and before getting to the sweet spot, I ask "OK?

Mamar la panocha, which is my go to phrase in Mexico and the DR, often got blank stares in Colombia. On the Caribbean coast they seemed to like mamar la concha (little shell), but I think "cuca" is most widely understood. But also "papaya" and "la cosita".

When I am ass nekkit with a chick excuse me would you pass me the condom please is the last thing I would say. I see a lot of guys mentioning asking about things during sex. Just do it and make it natural. Like JC said, what is up with the clinical shit?

I am gearing up for my second trip next month. I posted this in the main Medellin thread but did not receive a response, so this is a repost.

Last year I stayed in Mansion for a couple of days then shifted to San Peter in Laureles for rest of my 10 day trip. My biggest complaint with San Peter is the noise from the bars in the area especially from Thursday to Sunday.

Otherwise, I think its a perfect location to hit up centro during the day and strip clubs plus other P4P areas in the evening. Although I really loved it for the price and location, I think the pricing has crept up in place and is close to Casacol pricing ($50).

As you guys may know Casacol has apartments all over MDE including Moderetto in Laureles. I did check it out last time but did not stay there. Any reviews on Casacol places? Can anyone compare San peter with Moderatto building. Also I have read here that Laureles hotels are not P4P friendly.

Any updated information on the Laureles area by seniors would be appreciated.

On my first trip about 2 years ago hotel suite comfort was girl friendly, as in the girl showed ID and then they let her up to the room. Then later that week I stayed in hotel TRYP and same process, show ID at front desk. In both cases registered for 2 persons and never paid a fee.

I have found Airbnb to be less expensive but not as nice as the professional places like casacol. I have not stayed in one but they seem much nicer. The lifeafar website also has some BRAND new places not far from the main park laurles. I am not trying to impress the girls with my apt more with the cash they get. Less paid on apt more on chicas.

I've booked my flight, but have been lurking on the board, waiting to pull the trigger on accommodations. I think I would like a hotel in Laureles over an apartment. I like maid service every day. But would like one that is chica friendly. Might try TRYP. I appreciate all the posts on this board that provide insight on good places to stay, thanks.

[QUOTE=Combo;2349675]Moderetto looks nice. Do you know if they have A / see?[/QUOTE]No air conditioning but the apartment was well-ventilated. If you a night crawler and like to sleep late into the morning, there are some issues with noise from the church bells and the fact it is in the flight path of the airport. Taxi drivers have a hard time finding it which was one reason why I started meeting chicas at short-time hotels. I will probably stay there again.

Street Hoes, regular girls, casa-putas?

[QUOTE=Combo;2349675]Moderetto looks nice. Do you know if they have A / see?[/QUOTE]Depends on the unit. Some have AC some don't. You can request for one with AC though.

One time I did not even share the address and the girl was waiting in the bar downstairs in half hour.
