I live with a coloured family and they experience a lot of racism. Many other coloureds and blacks have told me the same.
One crazy little tale is this. The uncle of my GF is white and lives in Miami. He provides an apartment for his mother (my GFs grandma) in Envigado. He will not allow my GFs sisters to live with their grandma in his apartment bcos they are coloured (same as his sister).

Posts: 4034That is funny - "you look like a white guy today." Graphic t-shirts with jeans and baseball cap is what most of the 30 and under crowd wear. Age 30 to 50 is the same uniform with polo shirts replacing the graphic t-shirts. Age 50 and up is your alternative attire with a short sleeve shirt without the button down collar. Except at midday or midsummer, you won't do much sweating here unless you are hiking in direct sunlight.

Posts: 4034I checked the map street view to see if I maybe know the place by another name. I don't. I noticed a tell tale sign that it is a venue of interest. The house number on the building is 4 or 5 times bigger than the house number on any other building on the mostly residential street. That is a common technique used for several purposes. It makes the place easier to find, and it promotes good neighbor relations because it stops punters ringing the doorbells of nearby buildings looking for the venue.

They asked for my passport, I showed, I told them I see all the homeless smoking crack around me and though it was legal to smoke weed, they asked if I had anything else on me, i emptied my pockets (had three more blunts in my underwear since i just bought.. always hide lol)..and they just said don't do it again and left.
i was also stopped more memorably by the santa fe bus stop on calle 23 i think, on the platform waitfing for the transmillenio. just random pat down thing. had 2 grams of blow in my sock, and a blunt in my pocket. the cop took the joint, asked. if i had more, i said no, and he said have a good day. luckily didnt check my socks but i always have 150-250k spare on me in case of a pay off needed. but they're really just looking for dealers.
You won't get a hard time or anything unless you're an asshole to the cops or are carrying serious weight. Just use street smarts. and yes, when im at periodisista or parque boston where there are dozens of ppl smoking, when a cop comes, they all put it out.

She's a girl I repeat with, so yea, that tip would have absolutely changed the dynamic. She would then expect an extra 30 k everytime.
not to mention, if i get this mind blowing service from my regulars 4-6x in a. week, im suppoosed to give in and tip that extra 30k everythime according to your reasoning? it's absurd.
If you read my posts in the past, I have tipped when I don't plan on repeating with them for whatever reason. Because the 30 k to me is nothing but to them it's a day or two of food.
But I would say as a rule of thumb, your advice shouldn't be followed by mongers here if they receive "mind blowing service". Only in certain circumstances, or else it fucks up the whole dynamic.
yesterday a spinner in botero wanted 35k + 6 room, i paid room, i only had two 20k on me and gave it to her. she was going to give me change and i said keep it. i also paid before. ohno! service was very good.
And as far as kindness goes, the 15 min massages I give and DATY go a long way, especially when the typical local 50 yo guy treats them like sex dolls and not people.
Best.

But classism is another animal, and I would characterize it as being rampant, especially in the upper Strata neighborhoods such as in Poblado.
Two examples to illustrate my point. A few years back I was with one of my Chicas in Provenza with some friends, and when I introduced my Chica in a gathering we were attending, she was asked by another Chica what barrio she lived in, and when she said Paris, a strata level 1 barrio, this Chica and her friends gave my Chica the cold shoulder. My friends even commented as to how cold some of the people at the gathering were to my Chica.
Another time when I was looking at a property in Poblado, the sales agent had brought an attorney along, and when I pointed across the valley to Bellen, and asked about that area as a neighborhood, the attorney made disparaging remarks about "those people."
Classism in my opinion is more prevalent here versus racism, as I have never noticed it, at least not yet.

T-shirts and jeans made from cotton don't deal with sweat well but maybe they blend in and reduce my chances of getting mugged.

Posts: 29Other barrio clubs like Gisell
Thanks, Nil Admirarl, for report on Gisell Barra Dance. I like that kind of place and those kind of chicas, although 400 mil an hour is very high. Did you notice what drinks cost?
Near me is a nightclub called 25-29 Girls Club. I learned of it by picking up one of several cards discarded on a quiet residential street miles away. It is located on Cra. 70 at # 25-29. It has a website that keeps being updated. There used to be a catalog of chicas at about 150 mil per 45 minutes, but I couldn't find it tonight. There is a complete pricelist of drinks, however, domestic beers at 10 mil and lots of bottled liquor.
I've never stopped in. Has anyone?
I have a theory that sex is for sale everywhere in Medellin. I am always looking for where.

Posts: 4034Full disclosure, I've only been in there a couple of times. I saw a little bit of everything and in general I would describe the staff as a cut above the average Centro casa workforce. When I mentioned the quality of girls can vary from day to day I was issuing a reminder that it is the case in any of the places we frequent.
