Medellin Reports

[Orgasmico]

Today is El Dia Sin Carro in Medellin. It's an annual event due to the extreme level of air pollution. I first found out through an email from Uber. The fine if caught driving your vehicle today is about $130 USD. There are some exceptions. Anyway, the streets are nice and quiet today and it almost feels like a Sunday. For those trying to get an Uber today, good luck!

The reality is I'm not going to give out numbers. These girls are my friends. Poblado is a unique part of medellin. Personally, I find richer experiences in local's spots. You guys need to explore.

Haha, I was going to post just the opposite!

I'm in Brazil for a couple weeks every month.

So Paulo and Rio.

They both rock!

To me they're on a different level, both higher and lower actually, LOL.

The only advantage I see to Colombia for mongering is closer proximity to USA / Canada, etc for travel purposes.

Love them both.

Brazil better IMO.

Don't know what the previous poster experienced in Rio, but damn, not to enjoy Rio.

Whaaaaat?? LOL.

Sorry, respectably disagree. Both Mexico and Colombia are way better then Rio for me, Russia / Parts of Europe, blow both of them away. I am sure S. P. Is much more my style, but I have no desire to go ever back to Brazil major let down. I will leave out the details, but not for me.

True as again last night I was in centro, again hehehehe, with my best Colombian amigo who settled in on a venie, him his venie and my paisa at about 11 PM last night then we went to that motel nearby for 3 hours.

Lets dispel the myth about 15 mil sex with any venie, I wish it was true but this is becoming an urban myth. Believe me as 2 weeks ago I was in Cucuta and searched far and wide for the mythical 10 mil sex with a venie, just not true and truth be told glad it is not true.

It's not a myth about the 15 mil sex. Three of my Colombian regulars have confirmed this. However, I have no idea what these Vzs look like. I do know for a fact that the going rate for the Colombians can be as low as 20 K as I have been quoted this price by several of them, however they were not hotties.

The Vzs are desperate in my opinion, and I can easily see them dropping their prices, especially the very plain ones to make money. Additionally, a Colombian should easily do better than a foreigner when it comes to pricing with them. So with that being said it might be very difficult for a foreigner to get a Vzs for 15 K. My experience with the Vzs in El Centro has been mixed. The nicer ones have quoted me 30 K which is the going rate for a nice Colombian on the streets. However a few quoted me 50 K and I just laughed at them and told them good luck.

I used to go to Rio regularly, but have not been there is years. I do Costa Rica and MTY. But have been thinking about Columbia. Which is the best city to see on my first trip??

If you want hot weather, a beach, and easy to find women (but limited quantity compared to Bogota and Medellin), Cartegena. If you want cool to cold weather with lots of women, Bogota. If you want weather not too hot nor too cold, and plenty of women that you will have to put a little effort into finding, Medellin. You will get more for your money in Medellin with women, food, and lodging.

I am curious why you gave up Rio. Was it the distance? I've never been there, but if it is as good as many people say, I can't imagine anyone using Costa Rica as a substitute.

Which is the best city to see on my first trip??

Subjective but usually people choose between Cartagena, Bogota, Medellin or Cali. You can read through the various threads to see what might appeal to your particular taste.

I've noticed a substantial increase in the number of Vzs over the past few months in El Centro which isn't surprising. It almost seems as there are more of them than the Colombians working the area around the Museum, the Church, and the back streets during the daytime.

My Colombian regulars have told tell me that a lot of the Vzs are going for as low as 15 K and it has caused them a lot of lost business because of the price undercutting. A lot of them congregate in groups in the park adjacent to the Museum and in the closed off area between the Museum and Church in front of Hotel Premier Plaza.

I live in Medellin and spend about 95% of the year in Colombia so I'm interested in checking out Rio for a change of scenery. The flights are only about $400 USD. I've always heard what you expressed about Brazil being on another level.

Great post, not a big fan of either place. I think Moscow and Mexico are both better destinations, but Colombia is far better then Rio. Rio is just too dangerous, and more expensive then Colombia. I was real disappointed in in Rio, way over rated.

There are two types of personal ID cards for Colombians. For adults, there is a cedula de ciudadania; for minors, there is a tarjeta de identadad. They look similar, but there are major differences if looking at them side by side. I don't recall what the differences are.

In answer to your question, technically, if they have a cedula, they are adults. But cedula translates to identification card, and minors have an identification card.

I'll have to dig into my laptop, for some cedula photos, this weekend. The cedula is white with very dark gray lettering. On the front is the photo and the number along with their full name. On the back is the date and place of birth. A Venezuelan cedula has a red band across the top, if I remember correctly. It has the date of birth on the front.

Not to have a Colombian girlfriend from the lower stratas, especially one who you know has ever taken money for sex. I have seen this time and time again. For example, I know a girl that I fucked twice a few years back. She has some gringo boyfriend from California and has contacted me more than once offering to see me. I asked about her boyfriend and she offered two reasons why she could see me: 1) "he give me money to cover some expenses, but not for others. So I need money" and 2) I knew you before him so it's OK.

I have heard the second rationale several times. Like knowing me first entitles her to fuck me despite having a boyfriend. It's good for me, but as a gringo I also can't help but being a little ticked about their attitude toward a guy who is trying to help them and may actually care about them.

If you're in the mongering game and you're expecting any kind of loyalty, it's time to find a new hobby.

If a girl has a gringo boyfriend sending her money, what makes you think she has only 1? Why should she limit herself? Why shouldn't she be making more on the side? Why shouldn't she be looking for someone who will send her more money? It's her job.

If someone offered to hire you for a job that allowed you to keep your current job, would you accept? If someone offered you a job that pays double, would you accept? If someone offered you a chance to make a week's pay working 1 day of your time off, would you accept? Or should you be loyal to your employer?

Too many guys fall in love with whatever girl tells them "mi amor, tan grande. " If you think it's love, take her to the embassy in Bogota and get a fiance visa, take her to the US and marry her.

I don't care if she has a boyfriend, gringo or Colombian. As long as you're paying she doesn't care if you have a girlfriend or wife.

If you shop around and book far enough in advance you can get US East Coast to Brazil fares in the $300 to $400 range off season, but there is nothing you can do about that extra flying time. Brazil is really terrific. I can see visiting more often as work commitments transition to retirement.

I can say for us in S Fla that Medellin is 3. 5 HR flight at $300+- (Spirit) and Rio is $950+ and 10 HR to 27 hrs depending on airlines and layovers.

The $650 diff in ticket prices will buy me a lot of cute Colombians. Plus I speak Spanish, not Portuguese. YMMV.
