Medellin Reports

[DzikaBomba]

After I had the Bad number with the girl it starts to Rain heavy and I get somewhere inside and drank two natural juices.

After the Rain I talked to a girl which stands outside where I Was sitting all the Time, also yesterday. I asked if She would like to go to a room with me. She said no. Ups, sorry I was sure She was an hooker. I said perdon and went.

After the Rain the Area suddenly starts to get really RAW. I saw a Glue sinfer and a man walking around with his crack pipe.

It Was only about 5 pm and policia was still there.

I looked for another girl and suddenly a Junkie appeared on my side Talking to me all kinds of shit and not leaving me.

I told him a few times to leave but he didn't.

He told me he was guiding me and wants a tip for that. I then gave him two of my Fried cake balls I bought before and told him I don't want his guiding anymore.

He left but suddenly appeared again and started telling me he can get me all kinds of chica and drugs I wanted.

OK, I decided that's enough for today and walked to the Metro.

He was always walking by my side Talking all kinds of shit until the metro Stairs.

I come again tomorrow, but at noon. It Was always so peaceful and I have never seen Junkies there at that Time.

Chicas are less, but also other shady people.

Lesson learned, I prefer earlier.

But it Was not late, only about 5 pm.

Today I took a chica for agreed 30 k BBBJ and CFS.

She is always on the Street behind the church.

Nice body, but sad face.

But my negotiations went well so I took her.

First Red flag: one of her friends in the Clique whispered something in her ear.

Second Red flag: for the shitty room on the Street she demanded 10 k. She took something in her pocket here.

Absolutely Red flag. She demanded money upfront.

I should end here already, but was not sure if this could lead to problems. So I told her I pay later or we are finished here.

She agreed to money after the deed. But was not happy with that. It took me long to get an erection But somehow Managed it. She Was not doing the agreed BBBJ, because She was licking only the side of my shaft. Then she put the condom on, but I didn't said anything. Better CBJ than nothing.

Then I fucked her mish, but She looked not happy. I somehow finished, but only because I Was alcohol free today.

I took my clothes on and Then She demanded 40 k, because that is the norm She said.

I told here I don't give her 40 because we agreed to 30 with BBBJ and She did CBJ..

Smart move to just fork out the extra 10 K and leave without an incident. Contrary to what other posters may think, lots of the girls carry knives, and fighting over basically $ 3 USD is not worth it, albeit some posters may say you should of not caved in, however your at a disadvantage being a foreigner, especially in the cheaper Hotels which aren't frequented as much by foreigners, versus Hotels like the Premium Plaza or Zona Rosa which cost almost double on the Church side.

I am assuming it was a Colombian you pulled, versus a Venezuelan, who would be less likely to renege on what was agreed to.

As far as negotiating money after the deed, well that's the last thing you should be doing, as I guarantee you, you will be setting yourself for a mis-understanding.

I don't know what your Spanish speaking level is, but you should re-iterate before entering the Hotel that you always pay afterwards and not before, and make them confirm that along with what your going to pay, and whether the BJ is totally uncovered.

As far as the Hotel, it's best to always pay for the room versus them paying for it.

And you should be choosing the Hotel, instead of them directing where to go, as they invariably are getting a kickback.

If they refuse to go where you want to go, pass on them, another red flag.

I'm going to guess that your Spanish is good, and that you just happened to pull a piece of shit, it happens to all of us.

[The Cane]

Not in parts of poblado, there it's like shooting fish in a Barrel. And they know it.

I always felt quite safe in Poblado staying near the Oviedo Mall, but I understand that crime in Colombia in general has gotten much, much worse since those times.

She Was getting aggressive and I thought its not Worth IT.

I don't want Problems here.

I gave here another 10 k and went.

Next Time I will negotiate money After the deed. And when any chica demands money upfront I will end the Session immediately.

[Jcgivesos]

I have a place set. Flights set. I'm looking forward to coming to town. I don't have any real plans. Some museums. Some women. Some clubs. I'll be staying in the Poblado area. I'm a little worried about find a SIM card and getting access to apps. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Anyhow, thanks for all the info you all have put into the board.

I am looking for some food spots. Must sees while in town. Some club ideas. Other than Gusto, which I plan on checking out.

My Spanish is decent.

[GeneHickman]

If robbers in any country only waited for foreigners then they would starve to death. Be on the lookout for 1 out of every 20,000 people that walk by and we will have our target.

I would love to see some stats of crime against foreigners vs crime against locals, but I do not suspect foreigners are at more risk at all. Yes perhaps foreigners are less likely to carry knives than some locals, but what % of locals carry knives? I would guess not many. And there are a bunch of other factors that a would criminal will look for in an easy target. How many people are around, time of day, size (foreigners are usually much bigger), sex (females are weaker), age (old folk that are not so agile are easier). Plus I am sure there are many others. Maybe I will ask some the next tme I am in Manrique. Hehe. As for valuables. Foreigners have lots of cards and gandgets that criminals don't know how to use. They would much prefer to steal sutff they are familiar with.r!

Okay, I don't think we will ever see eye to eye on this topic as to whether foreigners are better targets for criminals than locals. Regardless, I have seen you in Centro on many occasions, and one day you walked right by me and didn't even recognize or remember me as we had met up in Santa Marta years ago, and I appreciate you showing me around there.

I know how good your Spanish is, way better than mine, so I propose to you the next time your in Centro, ask any of the girls you know if they carry knives, and you will find out lot's of them do, in fact some of the girls I go with have showed them to me. Makes you think twice about having an altercation with one of them.

Very common in Centro for people to carry knives.

[JjBee62]

Poor Jbee2 with all those Spanish courses he took at EAFIT and still can't get it right.

Yet everybody will understand exactly what he is saying whether he should of used an "a" or an "o" or should of left something out.

Oh, and you left out the "a" in Jamas which like Nunca means never, and I knew you weren't referring to a jam you spread on toast. LOL.

All kidding aside, I wish I had a better knowledge of the language, and grapple at times, like most of the time, but typically can get my point across. I struggle when people speak quickly, or have a an accent.

As an example, I remember being in Glasgow England and swore the people weren't speaking English but they were.

I have a dirty trick I play on any Colombian who gets too critical of my Spanish. I punch in one English word into my phone and ask them to pronounce it. That word is "Heightened."

Although there's seldom any criticism or confusion and I'm talking with at least a few girls every day.

Muggers look for easy targets. That's all there is to it. Being a foeigner or being local doesn't come in to their thinking.

If robbers in any country only waited for foreigners then they would starve to death. Be on the lookout for 1 out of every 20,000 people that walk by and we will have our target.

[JustTK]

The easier targets for them are the foreigners hand down because they are not locals, probably won't have a knife on them and will be more reluctant not to put up a fight, and are known to have more things of value on them in terms of cash and other items of value on them than the locals.
So put yourself in a muggers shoes. Two men of the same size are walking on a deserted street. One on one side of the street is local, and on the other side is an obvious foreigner. So you don't think that will factor into a muggers decision as to which one to jack up.
I'm not disagreeing with the premise that everyone is at risk whether a local or a foreigner, but just am saying that the smarter muggers will be selective if and when they have the opportunity.
For some guys in Centro who are obvious foreigners, they garner a lot of attention with the Chicas as they like the attention.

Also worth noting that often times the criminals have a pre-planned hit. So it doesnt matter who is around. The hit goes ahead if they deem it passable.

Yes, I am one of those that wander around looking like a foreigner. There is no way I can hide it. I feel like a baskball player walkin g around Lilliput when I am in Colombia, so these days I just wear t-shirts, shorts and flip flops (but only when in Centro). Iget lots of looks, but most are from the public which is a good security factor!

[Fun Luvr]

... What Fun Luvr said about being double charged with taxes, that would be a scam. Unless you stay beyond 90 days, there's no tax for foreigners. That's one reason why they need to keep a copy of your passport, so they don't have to pay the tax.

I brought that up when I checked out, and the lady at checkout said the exemption is only for new buildings. I knew she was not correct, but not worth arguing about. It's just an example that they know they are scamming their guests.

[Perfectionist]

Perhaps one of you seasoned mongers may be able to offer some advice!

I began frequenting FKK clubs in Germany back in 2013. More specifically 'Sharks and Oase'.

At that time I was spoilt with the selection of Colombian and Brazilian ladies who were blessed with amazing bubble butts!

Sadly with the new government work visa situation there are no longer any of these ladies.

If I were to travel to Colombia could anyone recommend any club or specific ladies who possess a heavenly bubble butt!!

Many thanks.

When I first moved to Medellin, I shopped at different pharmacies all over downtown. I found widely varying prices for generic sildenafil.

Then I tried Drogas Calidad, CL 54 # 47-29, near Parque Bolivar, have never shopped anywhere else since. Two 50 MG generic chewable sildenafil of brand AG cost 2. 000 pesos. I usually buy 20 boxes at a time. They also deliver free to anywhere in the city in 2-4 hours.

Don't know about other drugs, but there is always a line. Best time to shop is early in morning.

[Surfer500]

So in Spanish, you never, ever, ever use 'un' with 'otro' nor 'una' with 'otra. ' Nunca. Jams. It's included. The Spanish word for 'other' is otro / otra. And, the Spanish word for 'another' is. (wait for it) . So, 'un otro da' is incorrect and redundant. It's just 'tal vez otro da. ' Native speakers of English have a hard time with this. In general in Spanish, the indefinite article (a, an, some) is used much less frequently than in English. The definite article (the) is used much more frequently than in English.

I need a car: 'Necesito coche.' Not 'necesito un coche.'

I like dogs: 'Me gustan perros.' Not 'me gustan perros.'

As for passing as a local, we have had this discussion 100's of times and I think it is total garbage. Hehe. Every local will tell you a story of them being mugged in Centro. Its exactly the same risk to them. Muggers look for easy targets. That's all there is to it. Being a foeigner or being local doesn't come in to their thinking.

All due respect, but your not giving the Ladrones, Rateros, aka muggers enough credit. The easier targets for them are the foreigners hand down because they are not locals, probably won't have a knife on them and will be more reluctant not to put up a fight, and are known to have more things of value on them in terms of cash and other items of value on them than the locals.

As far as passing as a local, well it does make a difference in many ways, especially in El Centro.

You have to ask yourself whether you would rather not stick out like a sore thumb with everyone checking you out and looking at you, versus nobody giving you a second look.

For some guys in Centro who are obvious foreigners, they garner a lot of attention with the Chicas as they like the attention.

While there are other foreigners, albeit a few, who can pass as a Colombian looks / dress wise who want no attention at all, and would rather be flying under the radar with now one paying attention to them.
