Posts: 2513Ley Seca
Yesterday I had my tough time fighting against Ley Seca. Why the Hell South American countries should close bars and forbid alcohol for 1+ day (3 days in Ecuador), because the day after there are elections, is out of my understanding, but that's out of topic. And not only alcohol. Today I missed the ride on bicycle on the Av. Poblado that I have been looking forward for a long time, because ALSO the Ciclovia is banned by elections. WTF!
By the way, I hit with surgical precision both dates of elections. At the end of May I was in Cartagena, and it has been the most lonely Saturday I ever remember there (just few desperate ugly girls at Reloy). Today, I am here in Medellin. I did not have the freedom to choose the dates of my travels, but I precisely hit both elections.
At NAME-REMOVED (Steak House on Av. De Las Palmas, I don't want to put the restaurant in trouble), I wanted a beer to accompany the steak, and two very embarrassed waiters had to tell me that no beer was allowed because of the Ley Seca. Then what, I replied?
- We can serve only soft drinks, wine and sangria.
- WTF! Isn't wine an alcoholic drink?
- Yes, but the Gerente decided that. No beer, only wine.
- This is not logical! Can I have beer then?
- If you want, we have Aguila Zero, with no alcohol.
- NO! Do you have Wine Zero, without alcohol?
- Not really. Sorry, this is not our fault. It's the Gerente. We can serve you wine, but not beer.
- Well, I am going to call Police, reporting that here they serve ILLEGAL drinks! Wine is not allowed, as well as beer.
I said that laughing, but the response was immediate:
- OW NO! We will give you a beer, but in glass without bottle!
The steak was very good, the beer cold, the service excellent, the waiters so nice with me. What to ask more?

Believe it or not, in maybe 10 years I have been going to Medellin (sparsely say from multiple visits in one year to 2 years without going) FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME I went looking Hotel M (a.k.a. Mansion) from outside. I was sipping my coffee at Juan Valdez and I found out by chance that the most famous place in ISG was just one block from me, besides having a Pokemon Go gym almost right in front (it could be a plus for someone). So, I thought why not to go there and see it, at long last?
Yes, it looks a very good place! :p
I also understood that all the gringoes that I see at Juan Valdez, in particular those showing the photo of the drink they want to order on their cell phone, because they seem unable to order it in the standard way, come straight from there. Today I have seen at least two of them (two very nice and well-mannered guys, I must say) sipping their coffee and then going back to their place up the street. Hello, if you read this! :)

Posts: 6Facebook experience so far.
I am planning on taking a trip out there in either late October or early November. With this in mind I started a mongering FB profile. I want to thank Tasss who wrote a great report on how to do that way back in December of last year. In case anyone wants to look at it it's report #24342. (sorry don't really know how to link it).
So if you follow his advice it is super easy to build up a great friend network. In about 2 weeks I am currently at 95 friends and counting. Obviously not everyone will respond but as Tasss said once you have a few they start pouring in. Once the friends start coming in girls will start waving Hello, at you on messenger. You also will get talk on messenger from your comments that you place on their pictures or stories. All of them had said they will see me when I come down. As was mentioned it will help you build your friend network to also friend a couple of like minded guys. I did have a weird thing come up though. Facebook wouldn't let me friend request a couple of girls saying something like "only friend request people you know". I was able to request them later after waiting a few hours.

Posts: 309Thanks for the much needed never expected thorough info! I remember the taxi got lost couple times going to their older location, but the drive through the gate up the hill passing through security was something straight from a movie or a popular Netflix series haha.

As an added bonus, their in-house restaurant makes a pretty decent burger, and you can even get it delivered to your door.

I've been to this high end casa like 5 years ago and even though I didn't partake, the classy and elegant atmosphere was eye opening for me as a newbie. I'm taking a friend of mine who's never been to MDE to check out the place for nostalgia purposes, I think they moved location and it's a tough spot to locate if I remember correctly. Does anyone have the current address of this place? Thanks!

Posts: 5Puta websites.
I'm kinda new to this Medellin website and I was wonder how reliable are the mileroticos.com and skokka.com websites?
Is there a lot of photoshopping and / or bait and switch?
If they don't have WhatsApp it hard to communicate, especially if you don't have International calling service.
Any help is appreciated!
