Medellin Reports

[KC Questor]

Thanks Frank, that's what I thought. In most Latin countries the locals really dress up when they go out, and I would rather not look like an ugly American.

Thanks Schwmmr, that's helpful. I've seen a guy get kicked out of a casino in Panama because he wanted to take off his tie to shoot some craps. I've seen a bar girl refuse to go with a guy because he was wearing cowboy boots. I've seen $10 streetwalkers making fun of a group of frat boys for dressing "like roosters" in Costa Rica (although I think that was their hair as much as their clothes). Next time you are in a Ukrainian disco wearing the same stuff you packed for Phuket you'll wish you asked. Or maybe I'm the only one who doesn't want to look like a gringo tourist. That shit's fine in Sosua but too bad if asking about dressing for the nightlife in Medellin offends you.

Hey guys,

I was packing for my upcoming trip to Medellin and realized I have no clue what the typical dress is for guys going out at night...

So what do guys tend to wear when they go out in Medellin? Collared shirts and chinos, I hope. Is it worth bringing a sports coat? I hope I won't be expected to wear a tie.

Seems like a pretty valid question to me, especially with all the discussion of Walmart Gringos and obnoxious Americans going around this board. How can a first timer know what is right in Medellin? Seems like the point of this board is to help him get it right. So how about it, what do the Medellin veterans and experts suggest is appropriate for evenings out?

hey guys,

i was packing for my upcoming trip to medellin and realized i have no clue what the typical dress is for guys going out at night. my usual vacation lately has been to a beach area (sosua, margarita, ocho rio) so i could get buy with t-shirts and shorts for most days and even at the clubs in the evenings it was light guayabera shirts and chinos.

dude: granted, i'm half heated right now and don't give a shit about what i'm about to say but. if you don't know what the fuck to wear or what to pack after reading this forum or from your life experience then quite frankly, don't bother. and with all do respect, schwmm

Hi guys,

I have seen some really weird dressed gringos in Parque Lleras, mostly young guys! Will not go into details, suffice to say that I would be embarrassed to be seen with them, and terrified at the thought that Colombians might identify gringos with that dress code!

Guys, it's very simple, there is "no ghetto" in Medellin! People here dress very main stream!

Just some nice jeans, a pair of nice Sneakers and any color shirt (light colors, preferably) in Parque Lleras! And same thing, but darker color shirts in El Centro and La Mayorista! That's all you need to know, very simple!

Frank Casio!

Fellas,

Thanks for the quick info on the sports bars!

I report on what I find.

[Rumpus]

Checked out Fase Dos for a 2nd night running (see earlier report), I sometimes find it illuminating to see a place multiple times in a row. This time a little more crowded, a few less chicks, but a few more skinny ones than the night before. I only keep track of the chicas I might want, but seemed like a sizable but not complete overlap (50-75% overlap for the ones I liked) with the night before. Many had changed their outfits though, heh.

Took a cute skinny chick, slender with straight highlighted hair and perky B cups.

Later I asked her about the cars parked in the center of the hotel area of the club, and she said they belonged to the employees. She also pointed out the Jefes' cars which were nice (and large for MDE) but not like the occasional BMWs that show up in Poblado.

The previous night there had been a number of SW on the streets just past Fase Dos (the usual haunts around c.c. San Diego) but none tonight, instead there was a large number of cops blocking most of the road around the main street intersection just past Fase Dos, couldn't tell what was going on. Presumably nothing unusual since neither taxi driver nor any of the police seemed at all agitated or interested. There was, however, a half-naked tranny on that corner (guess which half was naked) jumping up and down and screaming, whether related to what had happened or just generally loco, I don't know.

I went to Alejas a few weeks ago. There were only 6-7 chicas in the lineup, and really only 1 slender one (my type) of the bunch (Side note: is it just me or is it hard to find many thin spinner types in Medellin? ). I grabbed her quickly when another big group came in. I was shown a room upstairs but the room was not well lit and the light switch did not seem to work. The mama-san must have noticed my look of concern because she explained that she offered this room because of the attached bathroom but that I could have another one if I wanted. She then took me to the end of the hall to a different room, with no bathroom, and much better lit. It had a window that overlooked an interior courtyard/shaftway. Not the Four Seasons, but good enough.

After waiting in the room for a minute or two, Catalina (my chica) came upstairs. If you have not been to Alejas, the chicas do the lineup in just their bra and panties, so this is what Catalina was wearing when she came in the room. Catalina's about 5'4" or 5'5", thin, 22, long dark hair, and is a small B cup. Her face is pretty but she's not drop dead gorgeous. She has more of a girl-next-door look, which I like. She has a small tattoo with the letters "LA" on her ankle. I noticed she was smiling earlier and this was a good sign, as she was friendly and we had a little small talk before she removed what little clothing she had on and moved to the bed. I joined her on the bed and removed my clothes.

She noticed my man downstairs wasn't happy yet and she asked if I was "nervioso? " I told her yes and she started to relax me by giving me a HJ. It was decent but she kept up the small talk during it and I found it a little awkward to keep up the "quieres jugar al tenis" type conversation that I practiced long ago in junior high while she was strokin the pole. I asked for her to start (C)BJ to end the convo, and this worked. She has decent technique but not one of those enthusiastic devourer types. I told her I thought her face was pretty while she was doing this and she stopped, looked up and gave me a naughty look and said (I think) "what do you want to do to my face? " Boy, I have to practice my spanish skills better because (a) I'm not 100% certain that that's what she said and (b) if I was certain and I knew how to say "I want to unload on your pretty face", that's what I would have said. LOL. As it was, I had her to go back to a few more mins of BJ. I then then had her get in doggy with her face down on the bed (I pulled her arms back so she was supporting her weight with the side of her head). I rode her like this for a bit but didn't feel like it was going to happen so I told her I must have had too much partying the night before, to which she said "con chicas? " I said yes but thought this was kind of funny the way she said that.

Overall she was good fun, a nice girl. She says she has been working in the casa for 2 months. I got her number and gave her a call to see her another day to see if I could finish what I had started but either because of my poor Spanish direction-giving or because she did a typical chica flake, I never did end up meeting up with her again before I left.

I arrived today and made my way to visit my Godson in Niquia all cool. On the way back to the hotel I walk to the trainstaion in Niquia and made it to the Metro at about 1030 pm. Made the train in seconds flat and arrived in Parque Barrio at about 1050 pm. Walked my obese ass over to this 24 hour internet cafe and decided to let you know I did not see what other have been saying. No extra cops and no extra murders.

On my way to Odeon, hopefully my luck remains.

Good luck and be safe.

Fellas, is there a bar in MDE that is likely to broadcast big time US sports?

I had good luck last year getting the folks at Bogota Beer Co. to flip one of the side tv's over to NBA playoffs even while everyone else in the joint was watching a football game.

I don't mind blending in and following local stuff, but I like my bball too!

Yup there is a NY'er who owns a sports bar, swing by there and gets all the game:

Champions Barra Deportiva y Restaurante/Hamburguesas Del Oeste

Cr 81 (a.k.a "la 80") No. 27a-24
Barrio Belén La Palma, Medellín
Tel: 3434343

Enough rumor-mongering. And more talk about other mongering? Doesn't seem much of that here recently.

Checked out Fase Dos tonight (Wed). Lots of cute girls for every taste but less skinny ones than I like. I'd guess 40ish total (more than customers). Chicks doing the usual coming and going, with a number of gringo mongers, some LatAm-looking customers. Most tables had at at least one person at about 1am.

Picked a chick to try there since I had never used their rooms before. Turns out their rooms are pretty nice, high ceilinged fake-thatched roof, nice shower with glass side so you can watch your girl shower, felt reasonably private and clean.

150K total for room and girl for one hour. 4k for condoms if you neglected to bring your own. Cover charge into Fase Dos was 10K, Pilsner (can) beer was the usual marked-up 12K.

Service was thorough if business-like as expected for in-quarters there.

The night-time streets seemed a lot quieter than I've seen in past trips to Medellin. I asked 2 taxi drivers about it both who said it was just that was it Wed night and they expected Thursday to be busier.
