Medellin Reports

You can also buy a real refundable ticket for free.

That's true depending on what you are trying to do. For example if a return ticket from Medellin is needed, just buy it right before you leave then cancel it after you clear customs. US federal law gives a 24 hour window to cancel. Usually they wait until the 24 hours has expired before hitting your CC. If not you'll be promptly refunded.

I think I used this website https://bestonwardticket.com. You get emailed a ticket within a few hours which will be a live booking for 48 hours on the airlines website, you also can choose your destination. There are others if you Google it. An extremely useful service when using one way tickets and well worth 20 bucks.

How do you rent airline tickets? Am curios? As this is something which can really be useful to me at times.

If anyone has specific advice regarding what to do, or if I were to buy a new phone, how to activate e-SIM with T-mobile, etc. , it would be greatly appreciated if you give me the short version.

With T mobile, you go onto their website and buy an international pass, $35 for 10 days, $50 for a month. That is the most painless way to go.

You do not need an international pass for Mexico (or Canada I think) but you do for South America.

At Slapshot on my way here I rented an airline ticket just as a precaution as I had issues with one way tickets before. They cost around $20, a few companies do them and the booking number shows up as a live booking on the airlines website.

If I sat here and tried to make fun of the guy spending more than me on the same girl, do you think that person is going to care?? He's in a position not to care.

The observation may not be for the guy spending more than you. It could just as well bring awareness to someone new that comes along. Just like when I went to Jamaica and they had the nice new shop where tourists could by things. I sensed something fishy and went outside to ask a local. Turned out locals could by the same shit around the corner 50 meters away for 1/4 of the price at a place that was not shiny and new. Nobody is being forced or made fun of to shop at either place, but it is information that can be taken into account of where to shop.

Be sure to buy an unlocked phone. If you don't it's not the end of the world, you can get it unlocked but it will take up to a day. Also, and this is in no way me blaming you the victim, keep your phone in your hand or in your pocket at all times. That is my practice even at home on the rare occasions someone I don't know well is in my apartment. Another point for future reference is the DIDI app give you the option of using a taxi. You pay the meter reading using the same payment methods you use with independent DID drivers. And the taxis use their own phones to accept the trip and follow GPS guidance. I sometimes lose patience with taxistas fumbling routes and turn on my phone's GPS. In those situations I tell the taxista to turn off the radio and listen to the GPS. I keep the voice guidance in Spanish.

Anyway back to your phone, you won't have much problem setting up a new eSIM but it may take more than one try. I stick to physical SIMs for this reason. I also keep a spare phone but in a pinch I can use a friend's unlocked phone with a newly activated spare physical SIM I also keep handy.

I left Lleras around 12, last night. When we got back into Envigado, I told the taxi driver I needed to pull out cash to pay him (normally I would take DiDi / Uber but it was slow and a cab was readily available). We went to the gas station, but the guy had been using my cell on the dash for the map, and he took off. The gas station says I can talk to some one about video on Tuesday. The police say go to Fiscalia, which is not open today. My last back up was April 15. I can't access WhatsApp on my computer, nor can I mark my phone as lost on icloud. What a day!

I fucking knew this bullshit would happen.

It appears to be straight forward following instruction here.

Is it possible to take the girl to your hotel? I just don't' like these short time places. I prefer "my" place. And not to rush. I'm thinking for something like "let's go to my hotel, take that 30 k x 2 and let's take it slow and easy".

If your hotel is on El Centro and reasonably close then it's possible. However, if you're in Poblado or Laureles most of them won't want to go. There's a bit of paranoia about leaving their comfort zone. There's also the time aspect. If traffic is bad they could miss 6 or 7 customers just to leave with 1. You can either rent your own place in El Centro to use for the girls there or use one of the better short time hotels like Premium Plaza or Zona Rosa.

I know it's too late for this information now, but whenever a taxista needs direction I hang onto my phone and tell him when and where to turn. I've known too many people who have lost phones by charging them in a taxi, or letting the driver use their map.

If I was coming down this week I'd just bring you a phone, but I won't be in Envigado for another 10 days.

I respect all types of mongering. Whether it's centro or poblado or strip clubs to casas.

But stop with this misleading information.

Yes on occasion you'll see a centro girl try her luck in Poblado.

But you're not going to see a hardened Poblado girl take 30 k to sell her pussy.

She'll start at 200 usd and might work her way to 200 mil if she's desperate.

Centro girls don't work their way up to La Isla. Maybe it has happened on rare occasions but it doesn't work that way.

The higher end girls work at La Isla right now. It's wall to wall packed on weekends because they can be open past curfew hours.

They do not just let any girl walk in there to work.

Look guys whichever way you monger is your business.

If I sat here and tried to make fun of the guy spending more than me on the same girl, do you think that person is going to care?? He's in a position not to care.

It amazes me how misleading some information can be.

Just because you saw a handful of centro girls in poblado doesn't mean it's a regular occurrence. There's more drug addicts and fat girls in centro and you don't see much of that in Poblado or the higher end places.

Just as in life you'll get what you pay for.

My last trip I saw a guy offer a girl I know 3 million pesos. It was HIS offer. Good for him.

We discuss centro and poblado and all the venues. But I notice it's ALWAYS a centro hobbyist bringing something like this up. And then generalizes it like it's a normal occurrence. Which is completely not the case.

Agree and some of the chicas have caught on, and they often ask you to make an offer, because I am sure there have been those throwing such stupid (and frankly unexpected) offers out, so why miss the chance at the payday. If you lowball them, they may just go quiet, but if you are within range, and they don't have a crazy offer then they will bite. But I have definitely noticed more of them asking what you want to offer. I have my offering mechanism, and use taxi as a little wiggle room. But if they want big money, even if I can afford it, it's a pass for me, no matter what they look like since in my experience the service is almost guaranteed to be a let down. A chica will almost always take a fair offer from someone she wants to or at least doesn't mind fucking.

Best sessions are with those you have some relationship with (more than 1st time), price point is at around market rate, and time is secondary as they are comfortable and maybe a little into enjoying themselves too.

VIVA AIR or VIVA Airbus or some bullshit. Yellow and green logo.

Another Spirit, I won't fly with them, total bullshit buying a ticket with three options for baggage, the first one includes a small carry on, not overhead, the second option includes a checked bag but no overhead, and the third option which includes the overhead bag jacks the price up so high as you experienced. For somebody flying with nothing, a perfect option. By the time you add seat selection and baggage the price literally is the same as the other carriers.

Was the OP saying that he's seen girls from Centro in La Isla? Or just Poblado? I think the second is very plausible. You see girls in Parque Lleras who probably also work centro (or facebook).

I think there are plenty of girls in Poblado who are addicts. Their addictions are just different. Coke, tussi, booze. Where as in centro, maybe is glue and weed.

For me personally, centro doesn't do a lot for me. That said, I have been to La Isla and those plastics don't do a lot for me either, especially since they are so overpriced because weekend warriors are throwing around their money (while the girls are laughing behind their backs).

[Safado007]

100% agree on this!

I honestly cannot understand what should be so special about el Centro. I was living in Medellin for a couple years and am still visiting from time to time. Anyone who says the quality of girls in Centro is the same as in La Isla / Fase 2 club has no idea what he is talking about. Centro girls quality is usually low and what I saw in the recent videos posted here, not much has changed. Yes they are cheap and it might be possible to find some cute ones. Also true that some are going to Lleras at night trying to charge 10 times as much as during the day in Centro. I prefer Top quality girls 8's and above and these usually cost 200-800 k and no way can be found at Centro. Some here now probably calling me stupid, mostly those who never been to Isla because they do not want or cannot afford.
