Medellin Reports

[Balboa]

It just must be me and you because when I had a customs agent look at me in disgust everyone has some bullshit line about what happened. To repeat, I am at customs in the Colombians only line because it was the only line open. Customs lady is about to let me through. She goes through my passport sees all the Colombia stamps and becomes disgusted and was about to have me go in the foreigner line. Then my gal goes into the biomig electronic line with her daughter and is waving and smiling at me. Customs agent totally changes her tune, smiles, and lets me through. That look of disgust was only in Medellin by the way. I have not seen that look in any other city when I have come into Colombia.

Yes, they just hate guys with lots of entry stamps, Lol.

You're evil! Lol.

Or maybe she had indigestion, having a bad day, you cut the line, she's just an angry person or maybe she just didn't like you, Lol.

I've been entering Colombia for about 25 years.

As far as immigration officials go, some are nice, some are very friendly, and some just aren't.

It's been the same with the locals in town.

Just be cool, and respectful and most will reciprocate.

Obviously the recent press has influenced some, however, there's been flare ups in the past.

The vast majority have their lives, worries, etc.

No time to care about how many entry stamps Elvis has, Lol.

I got a couple of dirty looks and even people outright looking disrespectful when I tried to grab a late-night bite in Laureles, but overall, people are nice. I just don't understand the hostility some locals have with foreigners; most foreigners I met are respectful and keep to themselves, plus we are spending local monthly salary in a day, ergo helping the local economy, so why the anger and disgust? What did some other foreigners do to get to this level? I need some backstory / history here if anybody is willing to enlighten me.

What changed her mind? Well, imagine she has a smart daughter. She helps with her homework every night, and she is going to be someone and improve not just her lot in life but the life of her family and community. Then some rich foreign dickhead comes along, throws money at her, gets her hooked on he drugs, and ruins her life. How would you feel if that were YOUR daughter?

So you can see why the customs lady had the change of heart. She saw that I was helping Colombian children and families not hurting them.

You can blame the kid, make excuses ETC but if you are a parent and this happens to your daughter, you are going to be pissed, and Medellin is a dog eat dog world compared to the other cities and because of that guys here have responded by saying and doing some of the dumbest things imaginable on this forum. I hope that is in part because some of the women have been so horrible.

But if it bugs you that much, check out the other cities. Bogota has nothing like this, and Cartagena, even with the mayor cracking down on street walkers, does not have the degree of hostility you see in Medellin. Medellin does have the country's best looking women though if you want to put up with this.

The "say no to sex tourism" campaign has been around for at 15 years that I'm aware of. That is when I remember the signs going up in high end establishments in Poblado and Laureles. A couple of the restaurants on carrera 33 in Provenza that are popular with upmarket Colombians and with gringos display the signs very prominently at their entrances. Anyway, the over the top reporting emphasis on gringo villains seems to have faded from the press. You would never even know about if you just started reading the papers and watching the local news the past three weeks or so.

If I had to guess then I would say parading hookers around. If is a matter of foreigners not being able to see the forest because of the trees.

You can even just fly to Montreal. Do takeout from a club like Chez Paree, or one of the 5 or 6 well vetted agencies to send to your hotel all day. I think avg is like 180 usd equivalent in cad per hour. Colombianas were easy to find.

LOL. Yeah, I have been told it is easier for a Colombian to get a Canadian visa than an American one. I get the thought process for going to Canada over Colombia now.

[Mojo Bandit]

I don't remember I got any bad look just walking around except the locals tried to rob me with a knife. LOL.

Only Nounce would laugh about getting held up at knife point! I am curious Nounce, because I remember that you spent a lot of time in El Centro and talked about walking around there extensively and to the far corners of El Centro at night: did only just about get robbed one time. Did you have other negative encounters?

Slim petite girl with large natural breasts in Medellin.

Excellent find, Mr. Moon Shot. Wish I could get one like that.

[DJHeywood]

Interested in the prices? Would beat flying down to MDE every few months LOL.

While yeah NYC has every vice possible, imo considering all the money there and illegality (big newsworthy sting in the northeast not too long ago, even local politicians weren't safe) I don't think it's worth the premium cost and risk unless you're there and are rich. Atlanta and South Florida are more discrete with plenty of Colombianas, Cubans.

Some long time renters are being displaced from apartments that they have lived many years. Issues like this go on the news and it affects normal people. They could not do many things that they used to be able to do.

That's a huge one. Of course if you're a Colombian that happens to own the apartment, you did really well. But there's been a lot of press lately about long time renters being displaced specifically by foreigners who are not that price-sensitive (sort of like the newby monger showing up in Gustos for the first time).

[Nounce]

parading hookers around.

It happens more in El Poblado area because high end punters like to take the girls out, but I don't think it happens that often elsewhere. Some girls are self aware and they won't go out with customeri.

There are other factors involved. Some long time renters are being displaced from apartments that they have lived many years. Issues like this go on the news and it affects normal people. They could not do many things that they used to be able to do.

I am surprised that he got the bad look multiple times from the locals if he was alone. If he was with a girl, I will be curious what is his age. I don't remember I got any bad look just walking around except the locals tried to rob me with a knife. LOL.

[Mr Enternational]

She looks curvy / athletic to me. Not petite.

LOL. And that is exactly the problem with this supposedly "objective" rating system.

[JackTaggart]

Slim petite girl with large natural breasts in Medellin.

She looks curvy / athletic to me. Not petite. I am splitting hairs though. Seems like a good situation.

In USA she would definitely be petite. After I started coming to Colombia I stopped filtering out curvy girls from seeking / other online profiles. I always found in USA curvy meant obese and possibly morbidly obese, so I filtered them out here to start. I was leaving out some awesome situations. Same with the "average" classification. Girls seem to be more honest / critical of themselves here compared to USA.

Check out Roosevelt Ave. Asian / Latina from around $200 to $400 per hr. I understand half hour is also available from some for half that.

400 will get you 2 pops and BBFS with Latinas or Asians.

Lots and lots of AMPS now have Latinas working for them.

[MoonShot]

I like it. I'll be there in a coule of weeks. Where did you fne her?

I found her on Facebook. Most people believe that Colombian girls are thick and curvy with large breasts and asses but there are a fair number of girls who are slim and petite. Usually these slim petite girls have small breasts but from time to time, you can find slim petite girls with bigger breasts. If they are younger, they usually have natural breasts because they don't have the money for enhancements.

Conquered them and enslaved them for centuries while stealing all their precious metals and raping their women? Just a guess. You know, foreigners like Cortes and Pizarro. In the specific case of the Yew Ess and Colombia, the Yew Ess stole Panama from Colombia to build the canal. If Colombia had the revenue from the canal, things would be considerably different.

Yeah shit would have always been different AFTER seeing what another mf has done. Colombia had the land how many hundreds of years and did not dig canal the first. Clear rocks have been sitting in the ground in South Africa how many millions of years, but people got bent out of shape when a foreigner came along and decided to dig them up and shine them and sell them to people for a ridiculous amount of money.
