Yes, please do post details about that AA special. (what are the departing cities?)

I'm a native Colombian whose lived in the U.S. my entire life. My Spanish is flawless, although I know how to emphasize my American accent when it suits my purpose.

Never been to Medellin, and haven't been to Cali in over a decade. I looking to be in mde either on or just after Fri the 22nd for about a week or so then onto Cali (where my folks live) for appx 3 weeks. Don't know just how much mongering I'll be able to do in mde as I don't totally want to blow my reputation with family I'll be staying with. (Cali should be a different story though)

So, if you've got game and some sense of couth, ( I personally expect to be on a tear) I wouldn't mind having a beer with some `gringo' bait, if you know what I mean. Feel free to PM me. (by the way you guys have been posting up some excellent reports that have me psyched-up beyond belief!)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! (F political correctness!)

Surfer,

Do you have a web site that provides details of that AA/Citi promo?

Thanks!

[Surfer]

Definitely hoping to fit in youz grand shindig at Face Dos. Done Cali too many times, and Medallo only once, so time to equalize time somewhat (plus I LOVE the climate and prefer Oveido to ChipaChape).

Trying to get Freeze to come up but it is difficult (now if there was a grand cabalgata . . . . .). I joke with him that he'd travel through FARC country to ride a damn horse but not to . . . .

Finally, there is a GREAT deal from anywhere in US to Medellin from January 1 until March 31. 22,500 AA miles! You must have the Citibank Advantage Platinum (25,000 for other citi advantage card holders). This is the only card that gives Aadvantage miles which is THE way to go for guys in US who like Colombia (no other US carrier goes to Cali & Medellin and constantly changing planes in BOG is the pits as you OFTEN get stuck overnighting in Rollotown because of FREQUENT delays (happened to me SEVERAL times on both Avianca and Aerorepublica).

No, they are not all sharks, but most of them are aggressive for a better life for themselves, which is standard. But I believe that Colombia will be a great country in the future, just a matter of time. I can imagine when the government gets full control of the country, it is going to be like heaven. But until that government gets control, the cities remain to be dangerous.

I have left the Panama City board for good, and am glad to join the Medellin club for a while. Panama City sucks and so do Panamanians and everything that is related to the country. Panama is to much like america and the people act just like americans. The colombians are more like humble europeans, and i truly enjoy these people ,as really they are harmless.

But the last time I was in Medellin, they had arrested three guys from the Farc that were spies in the city, and were responsible for three bombs which included a bomb in the beautiful "Parque de LLeras" . Unbelievable because I had eaten lunch the day before in the park with my novia.

All in all Medellin has the greatest climate in the world, I have traveled all over the world and find the climate in Colombia the greatest, this explains why all the drugs come out of this country.

Hey Aussie ... looking forward to seeing you and the boys in Medellin ...

You are correct sir ... Colombia still is Colombia ... gotta know what you're doing and always have an escape plan ... and definitely, make as many amigos as possible.

Thanks again for the "gift" ... the chica, the last time I saw ya in Medellin ...

PS ... I'm not really crazy ... I just know the spots off the beaten path ...

Also ... there actually are some pretty cool chicas out there in Medellin (as well as other cities) ... not all are sharks like the "King of Sluts" has come accross ...
I always let them know up front ... I am living in Colombia and no USA for me...
If the chica really digs you ... she won't ask for money ... if she does, refer to the "King's" post ...

And ... of course there's things to do in Medellin, just like any other city ... it does help ... MUCHO ... if ya speak spanish.


Suerte amigos !!

[Aussie Greg]

O.K. boys, taking comfirmed numbers for the "Kangaroo Nochie" ( fuck they are a bad football team in Melbourne, I'm a West Coast man ) ) for Fossy Dosse nochie.

In regards to the reports on Meddellin Bob y Richard. I regard Bod as my best friend ( mate ) and I'm not recieving anything in return for my reports ( the bastart wouldnt let me fuck his wife/girlfriend, carnt remeber her name !! )

It seems that if you say or recomend anything about some persona, people think that its a scam.

I'd just like to say that Medellin is not a place for the faint hearted, in fact I like it because you dont know whats around the corner ( and that means when your with Medellin Bod its another brothel with even prietter young Universitdad *****s new in the business ) and the guy's that have been there with understand ( crazy guy's like Ricker walk the fucken streets in down town Medillen late at nochie where even the local taxi drivers will not go ) you can never let your guard down, if you do well then you have a magnum pointed at your head like what happened to me in Cali un nochie, I was pissed and I throught I new every thing.

Guys, stay away if you [CodeWord140] your self when you hear a nock at the door late at night, and if ever hear that I'm taken prisnor or what ever then you know that life is not dull for me and wish me all the best.

Aussie Greg.

Over my years of mongering and relationships with foreign women, I have learned to treat them all just like prostitutes, because really that is all they are good for is sex, and that is teh truth.

Yes you are a wise man my friend. I spent 3 months in Medellin and was seeing a girl for most of the time there and in my last couple of weeks I was hearing the odd BS hard luck story from the mother trying to play on sympathy. If I knew spanish better I would have told her you can find sympathy in the english dictionary between shit and syphilis.

I really liked Medellin too but if I didn't have paragliding to do I would have gone out of my mind. Don't get me wrong guys I love Medellin and Colombia and I am looking forward to going back in the new year but I can't chase the ho's all the time. That's the good thing about the service that Robert and Richard provide at the Playboy Penthouse www.playboy-penthouse.com/index.shtml you're not just getting a room there. You are getting local knowledge and a home away from home that we all dream about. Besides I find hotels lonely depressing places.

Anyway have fun in Colombia be cautious but don't be paranoid, Colombians in general are decent helpful people and love us gringos. It's a very special place lets not F**K it up.

The metro population is about 3 million. I have spent one week there with a novia who was born and raised there. We couldn't even scratch the surface. I'm not going to bother listing all the places to see and things to do because there are so many. My heart belongs to Cartagena, but Medellin can easily become my mistress.

[El Exigente]

Simple Man,

I know that this thread is about Medellin, but your story reminds me of a similar incident in Bridgeport, Connecticut. About 4 years ago, there was a strip club called R-Place. One Saturday night, about an hour before closing, 3 gunmen came in and robbed everyone: Dancers, customers and the cash register. The manager/owner was shot once on the chest and survived, but the club went out of business shortly after. I had been in that club the night before.

[King of Sluts]

Yes, the city has a very excellent climate , but there is nothing to do there except chase women. There is not much to do in this city and for the chance of being kidnaped, it is better in other countries. I find Medellin beautiful and the climate the greatest in the world, but I have had to many guys pull guns on me in colombia to return without a bodyguard.

Also guys, these girls will say and do anything to get out of the country and into the United States. These families will have there hands so deep in your pockets, you will wonder what happened to your money. These girls are ruthless and will turn their back on you as soon as you stop feeding them or their family.

Over my years of mongering and relationships with foreign women, I have learned to treat them all just like prostitutes, because really that is all they are good for is sex, and that is teh truth.

[Simple Man]

Just got back from Medellin and Bogota. I have been to Medellin several times and I thought that I knew the P4P scene there pretty well. Based upon the recommendations of Ricker and Aussie Greg I contacted Robert and Richard at the Playboypenthouse. First, I have to say that I didn't stay there but I probably will on my next trip. They have a beautiful penthouse just below the Transversal Inferior, with a great view of the city. They are also two extremely nice guys. Frijole and I hit the town with Robert one night and he showed us places that I never would have found on my own. It was like hanging out with an old friend that is showing you his city. I would recommend contacting these guys for both veterans and newbies to Medellin. Thanks to Ricker and Aussie Greg for the recommendations.

On a more somber note, Frijole and I went to Casa De Piedra one night, as we were leaving a group of about 3 locals were coming in, they seemed a little strange, but having developed a false sense of security, having spent a fair amount of time in Medellin without incident, I didn't really think anything of it. As it turns out, right after we left, these guys pulled guns and forced the madame, Nancy, to let in their three friends. These six armed guys then proceeded to terrorize and rob the girls and ransack the house and steal everything of value. The girl I was with got a call on her cell phone and received all of the details. Shortly after she hung up, and told me what happened, she got another call from Nancy telling her to make sure not to tell me what happened because she didn't want to scare away customers. If we hadn't had a cab waiting outside that night it might have gone very badly for us. To me this was a cheap reminder that Colombia is a very poor country filled with desperate people and that you have to be alert and on your toes always.

As an aside someone posted below that the best hotel in Poblado is the Dann Carlton. I have stayed in the Dann Carlton, the Intercontinetal, the Poblado Plaza, the Four Pointe Sheraton, the Belfort, the Plaza Rosa and the Park 10. The Park 10 is by far the best hotel that I have stayed at in Medellin both for quality of room and for service. I also doubt that, absent some special discount, there is a room rate at the Dann of $40.00. Just my opinion.

To All:

I was in Medellin for a few days and met the guys from the playboypenthouse.com. I have been to Medellin on several occasions but, I’m no “expert” on Medellin. Simpleman and I decided to look up Rob and his partner Richard. Those guys are great!!! My only regret is that we did not meet them sooner, these guys have lots of valuable info on both the pro and non-pro scene in Colombia. On my next trip, I will definitely stay with them. On previous trips I’ve stayed at the Poblado Plaza, Bellfort, Sharaton, Dann Carlton, etc. all are good hotels but, in my opinion you get lots more for your $$$ if you stay with Rob and Richard. Their Pent-house is very nicely decorated and they seem to be very intent on insuring that all their guests enjoy their stay in Medellin. Thus, I will highly recommend to all (new and old) Medellin travelers to stay with them. Only they can provide the info you need to make your trip to Medellin fun and productive.

***To those who think they know better or do not need Rob & Richard please read Simpleman's post.

**Colombia is not a country you want to put your safety at risk over a few bucks!

*P.S. when you do travel to Colombia please, treat everyone you meet with dignity and respect. Do not give the locals the impression that all americans are rude classless jerks. You would be surprised to hear what many Colombians in the service industry have to say about their experiences with Americans.

Your Pal Frijole,

[Aussie Greg]

I'm a bit worried about the Freezer Man! You'll haft to keep him in check!

I've seen him perform before when there's beautifull woman around!

Aussie Greg.

Excellent vantage point you had if I do say so. Love to see the frontside too, with face obscurred of course). The gathering of youz from the lucky country in Medellin sounds like fun.; hey, Greg, any Seppos allowed? If not, maybe I can tag along with Antifreeze and go as the Canuck contingent. LOL He NEEDS a break from Cali.

[Aussie Greg]
