Strange times.

[ElSexoChino7]

I booked my ticket to Medellin, April 10th to April 15th.

You should be fine if you keep it on the low. Stick to casas, online or strip clubs.

One of the YouTuber Flyboy went live last night to give update on lleras and it seems like some or most businesses are back open again. Some girls are hanging around in Calle 10. Gusto's is back on business.

I could be wrong. But they have been trying to clean up Lleras for years now. Especially the prostitution. It seemed like they're just harassing tourists because they don't want gringos there since gringos are the reason the locals price of living has inflated.

Gringos have nothing to do with locals cost of living. They are a drop in the bucket as far as the economy. Total tourism is not even much of a factor, and gringos are only a part of that.

The populace are upset with the sex tourism industry in a big way. And the politicians are listening. And acting. So the public sees male tourists to Colombia as depraved predators and politicians are doing something about it. A 6 month emergency order making prostitution illegal in certain areas is their response.

But there are others, especially in the affected areas, who see their businesses being destroyed if the tourists (non mongers as well as mongers) are chased away. Hence the protest by businesses. While this law does not target tourists at all really, it is in response to the perceptions around sex tourism, and so don't expect to be popular.

Wonder how the Lleras cleanup will impact casas like New Life and Energy plus clubs like La Isla and Loutron in terms of availability and rates. Any guesses?

I have been guilty of this too but we should focus on what is actually going on as opposed what I think may happen. What you think may happen is just mindless chit chat. What is actually happening is useful information. Instead of speculating, we just see what is happening in the next few weeks and some can report on the reality of the situation. I wouldn't panic over what may happen and just watch what is happening.

I agree with everything you said about Lleras and the cleanup efforts. The video in question however has been widely misrepresented. What really happened had nothing to do with the tourists. The protesting merchants were gesturing to the shop owners to shut their doors and join the protest March. Pergamino is not of course independently owned so it wasn't a choice the employees at the location could make.

A plumber has sunk costs and overhead and it is likely to cost him over $10 to even get to the job. All a chick with a pussy has to do is show up. Most of the time they even make you pay to get them there and back home. So the plumber has to subtract the cost of doing business from the $10 (which could easily be more than the $10 payment), while to the hooker the $10 is pure profit.

I agree. But. I have also learned that hooker math does not always make sense. Sometimes it works in my favor. Other times it does not.

Sorry about that bro. She asked me if I had friends and I told her I did. Didn't know she would pull that shit.

This type of thing is common. Have a girl who never charges me, no rush, is happy to bring another girl, no charge and will stay all night if I want. She's a sometimes working girl, but always has other ventures to make money. No, she's not my girlfriend. I'll help her out from time to time, usually small amounts, 200 mil or less.

I've offered her number to a few friends, but each time she wants to charge 300 k or more and has all kinds of rules.

Calm down man, you are going to give yourself a heart attack. The merchants are protesting because their earning power is being clipped for six months and they were offered no compensation. My guess is the mayor will negotiate and pull back some of the restrictions. If you aren't comfortable you should stay away and let everyone else decide for themselves. There is no need to stress over this.

No problem bro. Sorry I blocked you last year.

[InsolentSpike]

There was this dude on here InsolentSpike that was trying to hook me up with one of his chicas named Alejandra who was a 50 mil Centro girl and she was trying to say she charged 250 mil and only worked in Poblado (needless to say I told the bi*ch to kick rocks)..

For example, lets say you are a plumber and you normally charge $150 and you think you are a good plumber. Business is slow and then a guy calls you up and says I will pay you $10 to fix my pipes. Now, you may say, $10 is better than nothing but I can assure you that the plumber would rather pass on the job than take an amount that he thinks is insulting due to pride and his thoughts on the value of what he offers. Most high end girls in Poblado will think the same way. If they are normally charging $50 or more, they aren't going to take $10.

What do the signs say, "welcome to Medellin"?

There's protests in Lleras now. All the pro clubs have signs from locals plastered on them.

Saw a video today of the protests in LLeras. One of those are locals kicking out regular tourists in Pergamino while having their coffee. If this doesn't tell you anything idk what does. Looks like it's the end of Medellin now for everyone. I really hope they are sticking to this until the end without regrets. Lots of people went unemployed and businesses shut down. Gentrification in full effect. I still love Medellin though. It just needed a long break. They will surely miss the tourists money from now on.
