Stupid shit in Medellin

[MaddTraveler]

You should practice your manners, especially with people here on the forum who have spent far more time in country than you have. I don't doubt that you spoke to Colombian officials BUT:

1. You may not have understood what they were telling you. The rules governing your tourist visa are not simple.

2. They might have been explaining what would happen in your particular circumstance which you incorrectly assumed would be the general rules.

3. The 90 day visa and / or 90 day extension become tricky when they cross over a year end. If you are in Colombia on a tourist visa or extension over January 1 there is no automatic reset until you leave the country.

There's only one guy on this forum I make fun of, Gabacho. Since dude went out of his way once to Dm me profanity, talked about my mother LOL. So you're either his butt lover or his second profile in secret if your defending this jerk.

I have been to dozens of countries, and I always get my important travel info directly from officials.

I didn't come here asking for visa help. And I do often meet guys like you who are always aching to teach. So save your teaching moment for others. I don't need it nor did I ask. Read my initial posts carefully. I've been in this forum for a while, and at times I share solely for entertainment only, not an amateur seeking advice. GET IT?

[MaddTraveler]

Here you say you have to wait 180 days before you can come back again.

And then here you say you already came back and have been in Bogota since Friday.

So which one is it you fucking moron?

You do realize you were able to come back on Friday because your 180 days reset when you left and when you came back they stamped you in with a new 90 days for 2024.

I'm flattered that you're putting so much energy and interest in my travels.

You call me a moron yet you either can't read, or have a comprehension disability.

My report was cleared that I left Medellin after approx 5 months, and confirmed with immigration officers that I can return within a week to complete my 180 days. Meaning I have a month left. Get it now?

I know you're always pissed, perhaps your low budget and income is affecting you and taking your anger out of online strangers. I guess you're going to send me a DM cussing out my mom again LOL. Man what did I do to you? Enjoy your centro hoz man, stay in your lane hombre.

Why don't you just get off JjBee62's back? I mean this shit happened like 7 years ago now right? Like quit dwelling on the past and move on with your life.

Because he can't. Ever try to drive a car with the driveshaft removed? You can press on the gas all you want, but it just makes more noise while going nowhere. That's Paulie in a nutshell. He can't move on with his life.

Not long ago he thanked me for a congenial reply and he posted a reasonable, although inaccurate response. I replied, again without any verbal abuse, however, I did correct his alterations of history. No response. No response until I posted about my short return to Medellin. Suddenly, he has a great deal to say, although he seems to have lost his ability to have a rational discussion. In fact, it appears my visit to Medellin has caused him to go into a complete rage.

Other than a quick glance, I haven't had time to peruse his latest batch of mental diarrhea, and I doubt I'll have time for at least a few days.

One point from what I did read which I'll address here is Villainy's long stay at Hotel El Dorado La 70. Paulie said there's nothing to indicate he ever went there. However, Paulie himself posted several times attacking the hotel, inaccurately, keeping in character, because Villainy was staying there. At least one other ISG member reported meeting Villainy there and getting a room on his recommendation. I also stayed there on 2 occasions, while Villainy was there and picked him up there once to go to lunch. Why question that?

I'm sure there are many more WTF questions there, but I'm too tired to wade into that cesspool.

BTW, I was going to post about the weather change. I prefer it in those weeks when it's transitioning between hot and dry and raining too much.

I'm a afraid I don't follow you. I've written him a handful of posts in the last 6 months, fewer than ten. During that time I've spent two months in Medellin and two weeks in France. Life hasn't for a moment stopped for him.

If you want, do a post count for this thread over the last year, JjBee and myself and see who wins by a landslide. But your points are valid in that a lot of time has passed while it's pointless to continue going back and forth with someone who will only argue against content they have made up. That leaves me untouched, so just like in a face to face discussion the wise move is to get up and walk off.

Enjoy your week.

[Gabacho]

Here you say you have to wait 180 days before you can come back again.

Your first initial stamp is 90 days, then you can renew / extend for another 90 if approved. After which you must wait another 180 days before you return.

And then here you say you already came back and have been in Bogota since Friday.

This is already confirmed. No such thing as a reset w new year. I'm already back in Col. In Bogota since Friday.

So which one is it you fucking moron?

You do realize you were able to come back on Friday because your 180 days reset when you left and when you came back they stamped you in with a new 90 days for 2024.

It's an ironic indeed, JJBee62 making up nonsense about anyone avoiding bills. When his masterbation partner, the webcam girl finally put him out in the street to fend for himself, after gipping him week after week of a year's labor, he took advantage of a good hearted expat who leased an apartment in his name showing sympathy for JjBee. This was for one last Hail Mary to realize his webcam dream, but he didn't hire a single girl, while praying that he'd scratch up enough money to get hot water turned on. But it was only cold showers from then on, as inside of a month he ran back to the good ole USA, stiffing the good hearted soul on the apartment. This was covered in detail here years ago.

So yea folks you have a fraud here, that actually knows very little about Medellin, outside of a year he spent there 6, 7 years ago when he was strapped for cash as his employers weren't paying him. He knows little beyond what he reads here. There's plenty around like that.

Why don't you just get off JjBee62's back? I mean this shit happened like 7 years ago now right? Like quit dwelling on the past and move on with your life.

[Villainy]

As always whenever some of you are at home with no money to travel you just come here to troll and argue. I mean this must be a trolling post.

Because what you're telling me is that the Colombian officials are wrong. And the visa extension they gave me from Dec to March is also wrong and I should have had a reset? Lmfao. Lame ass troll bro.

Whatever, argue among urselves, pointless discussion.

You are 100% wrong on this bro.

Osteoknot reported in December 2021 and January 2022 that he came and had maxed out his days around Christmas or new years and the. Left to Panama for a day and came back and was given a new 90 days as it was now January 2022.

Maybe you should RTFF.

Yo, I've been coming to Colombia for years and this is 100% wrong.

Well, maybe it used to be that way at some point since I'm not that old, but this is not what's in the Col official sites, this is not what the immigration offer told me, this is not what the stamp reflects in my passport, nor the extended 3 months renewal I did in Dec that expires in March.

In about 5 months in Mde I've heard at least 25 different versions from lost and out of touch gringos (not you.) but this shit gets funny af. Once while I sat with a buddy in a cafe discussing this, an old Canadian lady in her 70's was nearby walking her dog and overheard us and came and joined the convo. She joked as to why so many are spreading wrong info, about the tourist visa and the digital nomad visa, when the fucking info is right on the darn official website? Like Mfrs can't read. We had a good laugh at that. She's been living in Mde for yrs.

Soooo, legally you can only stay in Colombia for up to 180 days from your date of arrival as a tourist, (not 6 months). Your first initial stamp is 90 days, then you can renew / extend for another 90 if approved. After which you must wait another 180 days before you return. New year has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your dates. Rules are diff obviously for various visas. Currently I can get a biz visa, digital nomad visa (can be approved for 6 mo to 2 yrs), etc. I just don't want to, I prefer to travel for a while to other countries after I finish my 180 days.

In any case, I still appreciate the intel, but it is incorrect friend.

You're like the 2nd or 3rd guy who mention some of those girls on that fuck on Cra 53. I know exactly why LOL. You admitted yourself you don't want to drink or don't drink. It works the same way as those bars in Pattaya Thailand, you can't just take their number from the front of the bar in the street and ask them to go with you, that's always against the rules even though they are independent. Few of my buddies tried that and didn't work, sometimes they won't even give you their number. That entire setting is for you to go inside, sit, drink, and then pay the bar take out fee and negotiate your price with the girl and you can take her to your hotel. Thailand is the main spot where that's common. But trust me every female working in that area will fuck. Even P4 P requires some game.

Exactly. What you are saying is that it is a waste of money and a waste of time you're just saying it in different words. Why would I want to waste money on beer and bar fines when I can fuck the street girls with that same money. Those girls aren't special just because they sit inside a bar. Fuck that.

[Paulie97]

Why would I do that? You never told me those things. You did tell me you stayed at Hotel Mediterraneo, which is a considerable step down from Hotel Dorado La 70. Bringing Villainy into it, I will say, I've only seen you order the cheapest beer, while Villainy drinks more expensive brands.

I couldn't care less what this insignificant twit drinks. One can call themselves a villain online but a twit is still a twit. But you should try the breakfast at my hotel as it's the best on La 70. It's three star but deserves four if El Dorado get's that, but nonetheless is a far cry from a hostel. And there's no evidence that your buttboy has ever stayed at El Dorado as he's constantly caught in lies here. Why not just grow a pair already and admit your buttboy is a liar? But that involves personal integrity that we all know you have little of. Whatever sounds good at the time is what comes out of your mouth. Truth be damned, like your pal Vegas Jeff RIP. Who would want to listen to constant BS for hours? Answer is easy, people who do the same.

Then you lied. You came into Jenson's, just as I was preparing to leave and told me you had hoped to find me there, and the only previous time you had been there the place was empty. You couldn't have sent me a Whatsapp because you were blocked on my Whatsapp. You had sent me a PM here saying you needed to talk to me.

ROFL You don't have me blocked anywhere, especially here. I typically get a response from you within 24 hours.

I

nteresting that you "told several people", when you claimed you had just woke up in the hospital the day before and were debating skipping out without paying the bill.

.

That's because I never told anyone that. The few hundred dollar bill was charged to my CC and reimbursed later by travel insurance, as stated in ISG.

Where did I say drinking buddies are friends?

That's exactly what you said, that friends are people you go out drinking with. Then you lie and claim that 8 to 10 "friends" will rush to help you move or show up mourning at the funeral of your loved one. Well anyone who has seen your perpetual flame wars here over the years as king of "Stupid Shit" knows better than that. I wonder what your three ex-wives think? LOLOL.

Whereas a wingman, just like in the military,

But it isn't "just like in the military. " It's slang, colloquial. On sites like this people regularly advertise for a "wingman," meaning someone to meet up with to go out chasing pussy with. It can be a stranger. It isn't a "friend," so you are a liar. I never called that Argentine local in Medellin that as he was a business associate not a friend.

You're mistaken, again. Just a few days before your incident, I had responded to a post claiming druggings were rampant and repeating a bunch of urban myths. I questioned the validity of many reports, because of the Strip Club syndrome. Put simply, a guy goes into a strip club, gets drunk and gets $15,000 in cash advances on his AMEX. The next day, they've got to explain it to the wife. "I was drugged. " If I had doubted your story, I never would have posted about it. My opinion changed as soon as I had a reputable report.

You are a little more on track here. It was 2017. There wasn't the outcry about druggings back then and the stories were rather obscure.

Yet, when you told me the story, you specifically said you were drinking shots.

I said I was poured a shot from a bottle, seal cracked in front of me, and that there were Pepsi bottles to make mixed drinks. I made one. It was spiked later as considerable time passed.

In fact, that was the part of my narrative you got angry about. You never mentioned a bottle, just the repeated rounds of shots.

You are a liar. You claimed someone disappeared to the bar and came back with prepoured shots. That never happened. There was one shot poured from a bottle delivered by the servor, seal cracked in front of me and no others.

I wrote that the stranger was buying shots, and you exploded because you had bought a bottle.

Any exploding is done by you, as anyone who follows this thread can seen. You aren't important enough to explode over, not even remotely.

Yet you did betray my confidence, multiple times. You sent true and false, private information to a few different ISG members, who I was arguing with. At least one of them, you gave my Facebook account, where he tried to start some trouble.

Nothing I shared about you on the back channel was shared to me by you in confidence. And it was all true.

Everything is far-fetched until you do it.

Come on man. You are 63, are claiming to have a 20 year old Colombian girlfriend and that you don't send money? Who here doesn't think that's far fetched?

With that you do in fact get the last word. You can make up what you like, attack in any way that you please. I'm going to leave you alone and let you conduct your flame wars in peace.

[Gabacho]

Finally the weather is back to normal here in Medellin. The heat and humidity had been pissing me off since December. Now it's cooler, overcast in the upper 60's in the hills lower 70's in the valley and raining in the evenings and overnight.

Clima Perfecto!
