Medellin Reports

[Cm6363]

Have you tried any of the chicas from pasionprepagos? The rate seems like a better deal than FB chicas and their bodies are stacked.

What is the going rate for 1 or 2 hours with the FB chicas?

Just to be sure, I am not usually out that late at night, but if I am, the I will walk along side the buildings where you can only get attacked from one less side and be aware of the bushes and statures on the other side. The diagonal way you have mentioned is indeed dangerous, because there are too many hiding spots to attack from. What I have heard its where others have been mugged and robed.

Yea even the homeless people in that area are sketchy late at night if they are awake, want to know why? Because they are all high on glue, coke, or some other thing. All this makes for a bit more dangerous.

The bright side is that, late at night, I have seen police out patrolling, after midnight. Things have become much safer since I have been here, and lot more safer since the last time I was here. That is not to say that you should ever let your guard down.

Hey guys,

Just to repeat for the 1 millionth time on the forum, be careful in Centro. Walking through that area at night was always sketchy, but with the new gates there, the Plaza is even more devoid of people at night. I didn't know that and I tried to take a shortcut from the SW corner of the Plaza (around the end of Calle 52) to Ave De Greiff where the strip clubs like Conejitas are. Previously the path around the outside of the museum to De Greiff was de-populated at night with maybe only homeless and trannies walking around so I didn't like going around outside. That's why I typically take a diagonal path through the Plaza. I've done this many times so I thought I knew what to do. But I realized too late that apparently now both paths are pretty empty. About 200 ft in 2 guys rush in from behind me and demanded my phone with both holding knives. I normally look behind me every once in a while if I'm in a sketchy place, but it didn't occur to me they can mark you from somewhat far away and run at you before you notice. Anyways I wasn't going to fight that. I just put the phone on the ground and let them take it. Phone was old, so not a big financial loss. But if you're tense and the thieves are tense, obviously things can go very bad.

As another poster said, I think after 8 pm the risk / reward of going to either Santa Fe in Bogota or Centro in Medellin starts tilting towards more risk. To be sure, I still enjoy both areas, in fact picked up a pretty one next day around the south side of the Plaza at 2 pm, but no more late night outings there for sure. The girls there are rougher and more hardcore, more aggressive trannies, more homeless, more groups of guys hanging around for no apparent reason.

[BlackThought]

I can't say I agree with that (although the rest was fine). Qucik buck, slow buck, many women just want financial security and many people (men and women) are incredibly selfish.

I would be interested to know if there is any stats on that. Sure would be interesting.

The ones that sell their holes are more likely to be damaged goods.

How many guys come on here talking about buying phones to give away when they arrive somewhere? .

I know a guy that travels 5 or 6 times per year. He packs cellphones and vibrators (and other stuff) every time. Says he gets it cheap from some online stores in the USA, and the gilrls love him for it. I bet they do, think he is Santa Claus haha. But I don't think its necessary, and I always wonder how the girls would have treated him if he hadn't started bringing phones. Probably exactly the same!

[MarquisdeSade1]

Yes for sure, lots of gold diggers out there. But obviously the risk of running into one is way bigger if you start anything with a girl who sells her pussy for a quick buck.

99.9999% of them are selling it globally, some pre-paid plan, some long-term contract ala cell fone plans.

A distinction w / o a difference.

Mercado de La Playa is a good spot. Punters on this site are probably familiar with the Mercado del Rio, a more upscale and closer to the Poblado Gringo Gulch version of it.

Speaking of the Gringo Gulch, I still haven't stopped laughing at the Dutch guy who thought it was a good idea to parade a camgirl / hooker / model dressed only in very skimpy lingerie through the Provenza strip. He pushed the self appointed mayor of Provenza when she ran up on him with her walkie talkie. She owns the Tasca Espanola and is extremely confrontational. This time I have to side with her because in addition to the outfit I described, the girl wore a dog collar around her neck that the Dutch punter used to lead her through the strip with a camera man recording the entire spectacle. The punter was wearing a suit and tie. The Mayor of Medellin as usual jumped on the bandwagon for political gain and issued a formal request that he be deported. You can't make this shit up.

Yep, Centro during the day is a mix of normal people and freaks. At night all the normal people leave, and its just you and the freaks.

BTW. If anyone is in Centro and wants a regular bar to have a few drinks at night, and also some dining options without having to brave the Freak Show, I recommend this place.

There are about 20 indoor restaurants and a couple of bars. Its very safe. 10 minutes walk from Botero. Or 2 minutes in a taxi at night.

For the second time. I got my Covid testing done at Cendriata Sede in La America barrio ...

The cost was under $20 and they accept credit cards. The results were in my Inbox by the time I was back at my hotel.

I have had the test done there four times. The staff has always been very good. The last time I was there, it was about 10:30 am on a Friday and there were no people waiting in line. There were three or four people waiting inside.

The price was different every time, from 50 mil to 90 mil. Two weeks ago, it was 70 mil.

I always use an app to get transportation to there. That way I can see the route and know the destination is correct.

[Mr Enternational]

Of course! But the thing is that this girl started asking little by little, more and more. So when do you say 'enough', especially if you're in the hole already?

You say no the first time she asks. I would assert that 9 times out of 10 chicks are not even asking, but it is the dude that is volunteering and in some cases pushing shit off on chicks. I have seen it too many times when the girl has said I did not ask him for this.

One hooker in the Philippines even told me about an Indian brother that opened a bank account and gave her the ATM card. He said it would be easier when he wanted to give her money.

How many guys come on here talking about buying phones to give away when they arrive somewhere? Chick in Dominican Republic tried to play me for a phone one time. I cammed her from the store and showed her the phone and how much it cost. She said fine. When I arrived she wanted to start some shit about paying me $15 per month. Bich you don't even get to look at the box until my money is in my hand. Needless to say, when I landed back in the states, I returned that phone to Brandsmart before I even went home. That is how you say enough. But I understand that many guys are afraid to lose out on the pussy or want to feel like a savior so they become creme puffs instead of men.

[HarigeHarry]

Yes, it can go either way. Some work out, others don't. But isn't that the reality of life in the "real world" too?

Yes for sure, lots of gold diggers out there. But obviously the risk of running into one is way bigger if you start anything with a girl who sells her pussy for a quick buck.

[HarigeHarry]

She is not taking anything that he is not giving and there is no way she could make him do anything. He has to take the responsibility for being the fool in this case.

Of course! But the thing is that this girl started asking little by little, more and more. So when do you say 'enough', especially if you're in the hole already? This guy is deeply in love with her and he surely knows that if he now 'cuts his losses', she'll be gone with everything that he already has given her. So, just saying, it's not always that easy. Best is to avoid getting in the hole and not give her anything of course. And if she asks for anything unreasonable just tell here that that's now how things work. Maybe obvious to a lot of people, but it wasn't to this guy.

Well no shit. And while you are at it jump into a snake pit. Some of those snakes will actually bite you! This is surprising to whom? Next up: Testing to see if a gambler will cheat. Some people have no business involving themselves in street shit.

My point was, some girls look like sweet teddybears while they indeed are snakes. Better to make sure ASAP what you're dealing with. Most of the times it's far from obvious.

You could catch one of the illegal buses that transport Venezuelans across the border. It's a very porous border apparently. Can go via Cucuta or near to Maracaibo.

You would leave without passing thru immigration. Then when you return you would have to deal with the "missing" entry and exit stamps at both Ven and Col immigrations. It is a very risky affair. Far easier to just leave the country then "lose" your passport, then enter on anoother.

Apparently the Ecuadorian border crossing does not automatically stamp your passport. You are dropped off across the border then have to walk a couple blocks backwards to get the exit stamp. The line can take anywhere from 30 minutes to more than 2 hours to get the exit stamp. So I am sure some people have gone without the stamp.

What about Spanish classes? What is the absolute cheapest, student visa-approved Spanish classes in Colombia? How much do they cost?

[LoveItHere69]

I have no idea where you came up with that.

I dreamed it up reading so many other posts from other guys from several different cities in Colombia stating what I just did. She has to be dressed nicely and not slutty. When the receptionist at the nice hotel gives you a sideways look versus the smile at the lower end hotels you get a feel she looks down upon what is going to happen in your room. Also, some of the guest fees are over half the price of the one night stay in the room which means to discourage those kinds of visitors. I will not go track down all the posts that would support my statement so I guess you are right.

As Crocodile Dundee said it best "that ain't no knife, this is a knife" yes size matters both the size of the prey and the size of the weapon. You were a prime target on both accounts.

I have been in centro both in the daytime and the middle of the night close to probably a thousand times in the past 12 years had some close calls, just a couple, but when I show them what a real knife looks like they whimper away.

[BlackThought]

A couple of comments to consider. I live two hours from Tijuana and it's a shithole and don't bother with the place and used to be a regular there many years ago.

As far as Colombia not being a GFE destination, well your correct that for those with no Spanish speaking skills it can be a challenge to get this, for the Spanish speakers though it can be off the charts.

And everything covered and a bare bones experience, well this can be quite the contrary.

Just my personal opinions.

I live in the west coast as well and prefer Colombians over Costa Ricans. Even though most Costa Rican chicas I've encountered were fluent in English, the service was lackluster compared to Colombians / Vennies.
