Medellin Reports

[Ricker]

I think you are right about the trend for chicas to say they live in Bello to extract more travel money. I was chatting with a chica on FB who said she lived in Bello, her first concern was that I pay her taxi fares. When I told her I lived in el centro she seemed disappointed and said you don't live in poblado. I thought at the time it was because she thought my place would not be as upscale as in el pobo, but maybe she was thinking 30 k less travel money. She would probably ride the metro from Bello to Berrio anyway.

Well of course there may be a few who fib about being from Bello, however, lots and lots of the working chicas do come from there.

Over the years I've befriended many of them and have been out to their casas out in Bello.

Also, that chica probably was disappointed that you weren't staying in El Poblado due to the perceived 'upscaleness'.

It's latin racism.

Many people have bought apartments, houses, cars, fincas, and lost it. The Law is a very different thing in Latin America.

Do not invest here if you can't afford to loose it all, that it is expendable savings you are wasting, otherwise stay away.

Are you talking about Colombia? Don't many westerners invest in property? Why would they do that? Thats a horrible way to scare off investors that bring money to the economy. Maybe investing in a country with anti US government policy like Bolivia and Venezeula is not the best idea. I can see they will take away your property or assets. Sure, gringos / foreigners get discriminated in other ways, but when it comes down to it. Most of the locals know that we have the money. Lets keep it real, the color of money will never be discriminated. Lmao!

Jergens.

Bello is in the far North of Medellin (not sure it's technically part of the City of MDE, might be a suburb). It's a pretty big neighborhood, certainly not upper Strata, but not as bad as the worst areas like San Javier either. Lots of working girls may very well be from Bello. But there also seems to be a trend for lots of girls to say they're from Bello since it's a LONG ways away from where most of us mongers stay. Thus, the girl can claim you should give her money (or more money) to take a taxi to Poblado.

I know it is difficult to believe me. Yesterday I went to plaza Botero again at 6:00 pm and I saw another pearl. Her name is Daniela 18 years old. She is not tall (around 158 cm). Her score: face 10, body 9, affectionateness 10+. I like these types of girls. I will call her many times.

It's latin racism.

We are supposed to be their "payasos". If something happens to a "Gringo", they just laugh! Argentina or Colombia; You have NO rights. Never forget that social Law!

We discriminate latins in our countries, they do the same to us.

Sometimes it's positive discrimination, because you are supposed to have a lot of money, comes from a highly develpod country etc.

While being exposed to // violent // crime, you are negatively discriminated.

These are the advices I get from my Paisa and Argentine friends!

Robbing a tourist is just the top of an Hugh Iceberg!

Yeah, they're even racist to each other out here. You should have seen the look of disgust on the metrocable yesterday when these two more "indian" looking girls boarded. Gringo resentment is more in your face in other countries but prob shouldn't forget that it exists here (and everywhere). Especially if you're the type that innocently but unknowingly rude goes around saying "wow, everything is so cheap here!" or never haggles on price and happily pays high prices without question because you "can afford to. " people notice these things and lose sympathy quickly.

I posted the video in the Argentina thread and got this reply from DaddyRuiz:

"He was known to the police so he was arrested the next day. He has a record of robbery, but was released by the judge 4 hours later because she thought he wasn't a risk to public safety.

Thereby sending a message to every fucking villero in town that robbing tourists is an acceptable cottage industry.

I'm starting to think more about Columbia every day. ".

Tried it today! SUPER Expensive, I was wrong - 3 TImes the price of even private classes in your hotel room from other teachers. The girls that work there are Really hot, but I think its an up&up dance studio. No p4 p is the impression I got.

Twice I have posted that it is absurd to think that this dance studio is an undercover prepago establishment. It is good to see that someone here substantiated my point first hand.

Some guys here need to get a grip and realize that NOT EVERYTHING in Medellin is about prepagos, and that some COLOMBIANS feel a need to take dance classes and there is indeed a market for this, not only in Medellin but in all cities in Colombia.

Oh and it was a different teacher from the vid, still fine though. But more than USA Prices. Fun time, but a rough expense. I wonder if you can pay a 30 k massage girl to teach you how to dance.

Thanks for the information. How much was for the lessons? Was it 30 k for a dance lesson? If that's the case that is too much for dance lessons in Colombia unless those are private lessons. In NYC group classes are about that price or a little more. Private lessons are much more expensive. I don't know about the massage girls in Colombia teaching you how to dance cause this is gong to be my first time going there. I have tried in the Dominican Republic something that works me. That is whenever I go to a dance bar / disco place where the hookers congregate if a hooker I don't like approaches me, I would buy the girl a drink, and I tell her that I don't know how dance salsa and bachata. Then they try to teach me and are just happy with the drink. That way I would get the dance lessons for a drink. Most hookers in the DR know how to dance salsa, merengue and Bachata.

Thanks worldwidescout. Look at the hot paisa bachata teacher under the bachata dance videos:

http://www.santobaile.com/clases/

I will check that place out and sign up for bachata dance if that's the teacher. She Looks like a dammed good prepago.

Santo Baile is 2 x the price as everywhere else, but you can get a female teacher from what I gather. Other places have dude teachers. Still a lot less than lessons in your home country. Even if they don't dance "correctly" in Colombia. You can always get the rhythm down here and if you're ever in PR or DR take a new class so your moves look good.

It could be any of a number of reasons. From wanting to have more fun to trying to get over fucking an ugly dude. My guess is that she is a druggie.

No worries man, girls like to have fun and coke is prevalent. And yeah, my guess too, druggie. If she had fun with you, she had fun. I had an incredible time with a coked up girl at yakuza, and if (When) I go back I'll pick a coked up girl again.

Meh! Some girls are cute. But wow, lackluster. And for the $38 k price with no BJ. Prob won't bother returning. I couldn't even get it up for the girl, it felt like we were Both working. I thought I was going to have to start buying viagra after this boring session. But later in the day I went to Energy, and despite the ridiculous $120 k price I was hard and into it for the full hour. Worth it. A quality attitude on a hot girl makes a difference.
