Medellin Reports

[Boriman]

...Three hours later, two men were slapping him awake, hogtieing him, and ransacking his place. He was robbed and almost got kidnapped but he managed to run away before they could stuff him into the trunk of a car.

I've got some ideas of what he did wrong, but I'd like to hear the hive's after action review.

In all due respect, Iguana Six, why were they slapping him awake? Wouldn't it have been easier to let him sleep while they robbed him. Also, why slap him then hogtie him? How about Hog tie him, rob him, and then slap him if they need to wake him up and get a combination number, location of money, etc. ? Finally, let us see-one chica, two guys, and this friend of yours still got away? I don't know about the people on this forum but I would have a hell of a time running away if I was still groggy from being drugged (and being chased by two guys and a chica)!

As for the kidnapping part-hey, it sounds like they let him get away. I am assuming that this story is true? Any more details about what happened? These so called crooks sound more like the gang who couldn't shoot straight! Again, no disrespect to anyone on this board.

Incall: I always stay where security is on site

Then don't stay at the Mansion because the security guards arranged the robbery IIRC.

and always lock the door with a key from inside and hide the key. No one can enter the premises of a hotel or a condo uninvited or enter or exit the room or apartment without the key. It is that simple.

Bwwaaaah ha ha. Never heard of a lock pick? A pry bar? A bribe to the security guard? A former tenant who copied the key? You don't really think colombiano landlords are going to spend the money to change locks every time they get a new tenant, do you?

Makes sense. A building with a doorman that registers visitors' ID is advisable. Also take a foto of her ID and send it to a secure place. And make sure she knows why you're doing this.

The Nutibara has many advantages if you are comfortable with no-go areas. You can get a good room at a decent price (especially if you look at a few first), it has 24 h security, a restaurant and bar open at most hours, is ok about taking a girl back discreetly).

Does the Nutibara still have the old windows that let in all the street noise? And, no internet in the rooms? Otherwise, its got character for sure. And perfect location if you want the street life views.

Last week, a friend hand a nice incall session with a FB provider. This wasn't a former mansion girl, but one he found because he spends hundreds of hours on FB setting up several sessions a day when he comes down. Saturday night's session was good, so he repeated on Wednesday. He let slip that his roommate in the two bedroom apt he was renting was out of town. She distracted him by getting him to retrieve his lap top, giving her access to their pizza and drinks. Long story short, within minutes of finishing his previously unattended drink, he felt very sleepy. Three hours later, two men were slapping him awake, hogtieing him, and ransacking his place. He was robbed and almost got kidnapped but he managed to run away before they could stuff him into the trunk of a car.

It's been said hundreds of times, but still worth repeating. Never leave a drink outside of your sight.

These chicas aren't your friend. They aren't necessarily all bad people, but still it's best to just assume right away that she's going to try to fuck you over somehow.

Regarding safety, sorry, but it depends largely how streetwise you are and if you're feeling lucky. The Nutibara has many advantages if you are comfortable with no-go areas. You can get a good room at a decent price (especially if you look at a few first), it has 24 h security, a restaurant and bar open at most hours, is ok about taking a girl back discreetly, is within a short walk of the good daytime brothels, close to the Metro, buses, museum and shops, and if you can handle a walk on the wild side the bars and clubs the other side of the museum are rock bottom prices with wild west atmosphere.

On the other hand, if you like western style comfort, safety, quality shops and bars, no hassle, a free guided tour, and pre-screened working girls, book yourself into the Mansion (bear in mind there is often a waiting list).

Some things that should be mentioned for those considering the " El Centro" option are as follows:

Nobody speaks English and if you don't speak any Spanish, or very little, you will have difficulty with the freelancers in and around Botero Plaza, the Museum, the church area, and the girls in the bars behind the Museum and the Avenida De La Grief area.

Another thing to consider is whether you look like a "gringo" or not. If you have blond or red hair you will stick out like a sore thumb!

Being streetwise helps but if your an obvious gringo you will be getting a lot of attention not only from the locals but the from "rateros and ladrones" as well.

Some guys like staying in El Centro due to the easy access to the "casas" but often times don't leave their rooms at night. I wouldn't say El Centro is safe during the day, but when things shutdown in the evenings, it is a very different place, and much more dangerous.

If you can pass for a gringo looks wise, are streetwise, and speak some Spanish you can hit the jackpot in El Centro big time and for very cheap!

And hope there isn't another armed invasion robbery there.

How many armed invasions has the mansion had?

Hi guys,

Going to Medellin this week.

Is there a "red light" district?

Were are the best street pick-up places?

Any good pick-up bars / discotheque?

Best hotel to stay if you want to be close to action?

Thank guys.

I highly suggest you look for another location in Colombia such as Arauca. At the moment safety is an issue in Medellin / Cartagena / Santa Marta which is why the United States has posted a warning to stay away from these areas. Many kidnappings of tourists and there is a HIV epidemic.

I fixed the error made by the site here. Arauca boarders Venezuela for those that do not know.

Isn't it amazing, in a thread with nearly 20,000 messages, none of these questions have ever been asked and answered before.

Have you considered doing something unconventional like reading the forum? There is an incredibly slim chance (100%) your questions have been answered a few dozen times.

Now I have to Agree with the RTFF responses that this type of post should generate. I took the RTFF advice & started reading posts from May of 2014 & am almost up to May of 2015 in anticipation of my 6/30-7/4 trip. A lot of it outdated, more pissing contests than are needed, lots of bragging about being young & having enough 'game' to pick-up non-pros (yet having to prop themselves up on a mongering board? However, there is a wealth of info that will get more relevant as I approach the Apr / MAy posts of this year as that is when I joined. Not reading the forum is like using an app to tell a chica she is pretty & can I buy you a drink. Really? Are people that f-in lazy. On a 3 hour flight, if you have any intelligence, you should be able to learn from scratch, numbers from 1-100, tell time, and the most basic greetings & questions. Where is the bathroom, one more beer please, may I have the bill? Etc. , etc. It's not that difficult!

Now another rant of mine! I know, I know, I'm all over the place with this post!

In the Del Rey earlier, I overheard a fellow monger talking to a chica at a table behind me.

His sentence verbatim, "I sorry my friend make you cry. I no make you cry!

He was using baby babble to say, "I'm sorry my friend made you cry, I won't make you cry!

What is up with this I don't know Spanish, so if I talk like (I'm talking to) a baby in broken English, they will understand me!

If she understands the baby babble, she will understand you when you speak correct English. One does not assimilate into another culture by speaking slow, loud, broken English Baby Babble!

When I was in Thailand in the mid-80's (oilfield) a fellow employee would use this slow, louder than normal, broken English to pretend like he was speaking Thai. Simply idiotic in my opinion.

My point is, why not put out 5 minutes worth of effort & learn how to say 'Lo siento que mi amigo te hizo llorar! Yo no voy a hacerte llorar!

There are plenty of books & websites, youtube videos, etc. To help with pronunciation. OK, I'm done with the rant. Have a great Memorial Day guys & special thanks to all those that have served here in the USA!!
