Medellin Reports

[FlagRunner77]

They have been scammers for a long time. The one and only time I stayed there, they charged tax in addition to the price on their website. On the website, it stated the price including all taxes. It was only two nights, not worth hassling with them. I had forgotten it stated taxes were included in the price. That was several years ago.

Thanks, I'm holding my ground anyway, but good to know I'm not over-reacting. It's a shame because I'm planning a January trip instead but now I'll be going elsewhere. And I won't be recommending to others.

i've mentioned this before, but More than half the time I get a cerveza with a girl before hand to build up rapport and get GFE, DFK is almost gauranteed when you do this as you're not another stranger having sex after a 20 second convo.

Lately, I've been getting a beer and going for girls that are -already drinking- . Like buzzed. Not sure why this wasnt my M. O. Before.

Peak in the bars behind veracruz where theyre sitting, when they have beers in their hand, have a shot or two with them of aguardiente, it's like water if you're a male over 180 lbs but for girls it hits hard IME.

SW + drinks= money. the barrio girls love to party.

Talking about being buzzed, you have a whole other subset of girls in Centro that don't drink beer to get a buzz, but instead smoke weed to get high, and I've been with a few of the high ones, and they really get into the sex and literally anything goes because of their altered state.

Lot's of the SW's in Centro love getting high, pounded, and than paid. It's a win win for some of them, especially the ones that are nymphos.

So, I had to delay my upcoming trip. I had booked 8 nights at Hotel M (La Mansion). I paid a deposit of 2 nights per the website and I expected to lose this as I had to cancel within 72 hours. But they have now sent me a message saying that I have to pay for the full 8 nights.

I feel like I'm being scammed here. There are not terms on their website other than you lose the deposit if you cancel within 72 hours of your visit.

Am I missing something? It's a shame if a monger-oriented establishment is scamming.

Surf, you're right, I guess it's a risk / reward kind of thing. I was moreso saying it's a deal for him as it was his first centro fuck, not sure if he speaks spanish or not. He couldve easily been quoted double that. LOL!

-anyways,

Been back on the centro grind every night this week, man's got to hunt.

Just this afternoon I was posted up by the barbershop, a tan vennie with red streaks in her hair, valeria, with a kille rbod and cute face walks by with a beer. Bingo. We make eyecontant, motion her over, I smell the beer on her breath and she's very talkative.

30 k + 6 k pieza, we each get another beer, she chugs half of hers right away lol.
I tell her to put on reggaeton, she starts grinding, turns around and DFK, I get undressed and she takes off her shirt, She looks at the dick and I go "te gusta? she says yea. i go Chupalo asi". She gets on her knees and goes to town. From their rubber goes on, mish and doggy, then mish, she's acting like a girlfriend trying to get preggo with her legs wrapped around.

So yea.

SW + drinks= money. the barrio girls love to party.

And for the simps, if they're more buzzed than you / drunk, it's not freaking non-consensual. They're getting paid lmao. I'm sure many to cast judgement have fucked girls high as fuck on glue or coked out at the club and didn't even notice.

YMMV but Centro was a bust this October overall. Some of my observations.

1. It feels more dangerous this time around, especially after dark. More weirdos who I feel are are trying to approach me, especially around the less lit areas. Probably because more foreigners attract more thieves.

2. Way more foreigners around. Some places feel a bar in the Philippines with middle age to older white gentlemen hanging around talking to each other. Didn't see this kind of concentration before.

3. Girls are rejecting offers that are about 50 k less than what I give for FB girls to go to my apartment (yes I know that's not the norm for Centro girls). At that point it's completely not worth it. At a 50 k difference between Centro girls and FB girls, the risk / reward strongly favors FB.

4. Two Vennie girls who I originally met in Bogota Santa Fe in 2019 are now working in Centro Medellin. I re-sessioned with one of them. She tells me the word is already out that there's an influx of foreigners in Medellin and the pay there is superior to Santa Fe. And added to the better climate in Medellin, there are strong incentives to move their services here.

The Global Entry rules condition membership on maintaining full compliance with immigration and customs regulations. This includes counterfeit goods like watches and handbags that some guys like to bring providers. Other things that can get your Global Entry revoked are flouting tobacco and liquor quantity rules or providing inconsistent information to customs and border patrol personnel.

Perhaps what some members may not be aware of is that you have to be basically squeaky clean to get Global Entry. I have had it for several years, however I initially never applied for it because I had SENTRI, and those with SENTRI are automatically given Global Entry as qualifying for it is more stringent than Global Entry.

Besides the CBP doing a complete backround check on you and being interviewed in person, I had to bring in copies of my tax returns and other documents which they looked over. When it was time to renew my SENTRI after ten years in June of this year, instead of applying for SENTRI which is used exclusively for crossing from Mexico into the USA where you don't have to wait in a long line, they changed the rules allowing Global Entry holders as well to cross rapidly. So I thought I was going to have to go in for an interview again to get Global Entry and I filled out the online application, and within a few days I got an E mail saying I was approved and to pay a fee for the Global Entry Card that was mailed to me with validity until 2026. When I first obtained SENTRI I was given what's known as a Trusted Travellers Number which has remained the same and is entered into the airlines systems when issuing boarding passes.

Makes a huge difference having it, especially at airports like FLL, along with not having to wait in long lines and includes TSA pre-check as well.

I know several members on this board have it, and I will never do anything to ever jeopardize it which you are warning others about.

Another centro rat has been born. And my friend, you got a deal with BBFS for 20 k extra lmao.E

Actually, this newly spawned Centro Rat didn't get the deal you think he got at 70 K.

I know a guy who played Centro for two months recently who is not a board member here, who only did the girls raw in Centro.

And he told me he was paying them as low as 50 K and upwards not including the room for BBFS.

It's very prevalent there contrary to what some may think, as typically for the girls that do it, it's in essence a double pay day for them.

I advise against doing them raw in Centro, but some guys do, and picking up an STD is not worth it.

And I know exactly who the little dyed red hair spinner the other poster was referring to, she's out there all the time, she's approached me, but I have stayed clear of her, and she probably does more guys raw then covered.

The guy I know who did her uncovered more than once said she was really into it, and he cream pied her as well.

Almost like a wet dream coming to fruition for this newly spawned Centro Rat! LOL.

It's not fair not knowing why you've been denied Global Entry. At least you have TSA pre-check which can be great at times but isn't as prevalent anymore as not enough people have it, hence they don't man all the TSA security entrances at some airports like in Florida, but give you a card that allows you to not to have to take off your shoes.

Probably the worst airport for international arrivals is Fort Lauderdale. No signage when entering for Global Entry. Everybody gets stuck in the same line. I just go around the line walk in, say I have Global Entry and typically am allowed to enter but was recently asked for my Global Entry card which I don't carry with me as my "known traveller" number has always been used for airline travel. FLL is the worst airport to be flying into from Colombia and I'm sure there are other board members you can attest to this.

As far as getting your Global Entry status back, your only option is to retain an attorney and spend big bucks as anything you write will go into the round file, aka trash can. And God forbid if you were put on the Governments no fly list. There are people who have been put on that list in error and have spent a lot of time and money trying to get it undone.

I've driven from Bogota to Medellin and back to Bogota by a different route. Parts of the route are scenic.

Is it worth it? You're talking about an 8-10 hour drive, not including stops. Actually probably a minimum of 10 hours because I was driving like a wild man at times.

If someone is paying you $30 per hour or more to ride the bus, it might be worth it, although I would hold out for more.

Just a heads up.

Roundtrip flights from MDE to CTG round trip on Viva Air, a 45 minute flight, as low as $ 75 roundtrip midweek.

Also cheap flights all over the Country from MDE and the local airport for under $ 100.

When I go to CTG from MDE I leave Pobaldo at 11:30 AM, have a flight at 2:00 PM as an example, and am in my Hotel checking in by no later than 3;30 PM. Four hours elapsed time and yes more expensive than the bus.

And I have taken all day bus trips within the Country, and invariably there are delays due to construction, weather, etc.

So very simply put, and if you can afford it, don't mess with buses unless a short trip to Santa Fe or the Penol.

Anything longer, and you will regret it, unless you like driving which I personally don't.

In response to being searched, it was the first time ever and when I looked back, I noticed that there were 3 other black males that looked very similar to me. Same hair style same build in body. The entire event was very strange, but I had nothing to hide and didn't resist their request at all. So many events occur in Medellin and you would have to be there to see the events. I easily recognized that many of the airline stewardesses in the stores around Colombia, so don't think they just work the Airlines and go home and disappear. Who knows what could have been said to someone somewhere in Colombia about the wrong activities and boom, we go to the airport and they are searching everyone who looks like Mr. X. Just a scenario.

On to another topic, clearly there are 2 kinds of Mongers in this group, those who once had their way, based on ethnicity, and the rest of us who know the world as it is today. In Colombia, race means nothing, absolutely nothing. So knowing your American rights in Colombia probably does you as much good as a bald headed man in a hair contest. But from many of the posts, clearly many of you feel as though you have a right to contest what these airlines and federal agents ask for and what they request, but clearly many of us know better.

There is absolutely no reason to contest a request from a federal / international / airline staff member unless somewhere along your life one of you have gotten away with an infraction by contesting it in the USA and it worked. Unfortunately for some of us, we have never gotten away with anything and have the slightest desire to every be around the police, feds, CIA, or Colombian authorities. If these people ask you to open your laptop, or unlock your phone, you are going to do just as I did, comply or sit your high and mighty a $$ in a back office somewhere and miss your flight.

The number one reason I provided the information about the search was because it was strange that it occurred and in the past 4 years this is the first time I ever had anyone ask me to unlock my phone and laptop. I for one can tell you, I had a valid PCR covid test in hand and it did not meet the standard of what the Colombian Government was looking for so guess what? I had to go to the first floor and obtain a Antigen test, which took about an hour, therefore I missed my flight as I was not allowed to board until I had proof of a negative covid test that met the Colombian government's standard.

There are far too many options to get photos and video out of Colombia than to be a fool and allow them to catch you red handed with the photos and videos on your personal phone. Who knows, it is someone in this group who is a International Nudity Lawyer who knows all of the international laws of taking photos through the Colombian airport. Me on the other hand, I am not an international Nudity Lawyer and do not want to chance being caught with anything on my phone or laptop that I shouldn't have. To all of you privileged mongers, suck it up buttercup and continue to stay safe. Pollo Negro is Out!

Has anyone traveled by bus from Medellin to Cartagena or Bogota? Is the route scenic and worth?

Not that particular route, but I've done Cali-MDE and I loved it. Beautiful scenery, especially between MDE and Pereira, though a bit scary at times.

I took it from BOG to MDE 8 pm to 6 am.

It was the ride from hell!

Idk if anyone has tried to go to casa Cuba lately, as the location on the map hasnt updated. So you see casa Cuba. On carr 47 calle 59. It moved.

So keep walking down calle 59 towards carr 48, take a left downhill on carr 48.

Carr 48 -58-64-- to the right of this building is a giant parking garage thing. Can't miss it walk in and go past the security, you will see an outdoor staircase to your left. Walk up, that is the new casa Cuba.

Simply the best, the best. Sebastian the bro who runs the place knows how to pick his girls. Always BBBJ and ymmv on DFK.

I've yet to see a gringo here but I've exhausted my presence at this casa LMAO so it's all yours.

What were the prices?
