Medellin Reports

[TjBrazil]

Nope, wasn't me. I've been there at night though. And especially after the metro stops it is like a zombie land. Police are all gone, very few people around and none of them were just normal people. I was never so glad to see a taxi across by one of the strip clubs and even better when I got out of there back to my place.

I remember my first trip to Colombia, burning both ends, left a strip club, walked outside, and it was like a nuke hit. I didn't see a soul. It was frightening. I went back inside and asked the guy to call me a taxi and tipped him a couple bucks. Colombia late at night in the wrong area is pretty scary. The funny part was I think I would have preferred a bunch of shady characters everywhere than empty. It's like the whole town knew don't stay out past this time.

Speaking of weapons, I was planning on bringing down a pocket knife that has a blade about 2 in to carry around with me. What are the laws and how likely am I to be checked? I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it just in case.

I always carry a knife with a 2 inch blade; not for protection, but for convenience when I need it for normal knife usage. I asked a local man about the laws and he said Colombia citizens are allowed to carry knives, and it would depend on the police officer if a foreigner had one. He said he didn't think there were any laws against it. In 13 years and many trips, I have never had an encounter with the police.

One time I went literally at 2 am and was doing laps around Cra 53 (bar street) and Calle 51 (pedestrian walkway) and it was very different than in the day time. Luckily nothing bad happened to me but I didn't see a single cop and most places were closed up and there was lots of homeless people and the few chicas I did see were nasty looking drug addicts or trannies.

I came in on Thursday morning from Guyana.

Was using my Canadian passport.

90% of the passengers were foreigners.

Went to the officer and was sent to another one.

Gave him my passport showed me a small paper that said Canadians have to pay 260 mil pesos or 85 Canadian dollars.

Only debit or credit cards are accepted.

I did not take any of my cards with me.

Reason my last trip in October I sent myself pesos from Guyana with WU.

So I had a lot that was left back.

So I had to sit on the chair behind him.

Then an officer came to me and said one of her colleague will use his card.

I gave 300 mil pesos for good deed.

This was implemented in November.

Petro introduced it.

I did google it.

It's political.

So I just had to share it fir fellow Canadians.

Aren't you the guy that was going around plaza botero at night carrying the baton ready to whack people's hands if they tried to touch you LOL??

My guess is if you limit it to two short term guests or one long term guest per day, it will be okay. The problem with some of those buildings is that other residents complain. If anyone complains, tell the owner your guests are friends visiting you.

Look them straight in the eye and tell them it's your niece.

So which place have the hottest looking girl? I guess it is in the eye of the beholder. But still, I like your opinion. I read through many pages and on line video. It seem Loutron is on top, what is second, third etc. ? Can you guy make a list of above average. I'm not talking about club. Thanks.

I'm looking at an Airbnb in Laureles. Really nice apartment condo. Has 24 hour security. Great reviews. Has AC and all the amenities that I need. But it says, "No Sex tourism". I still did try to ask the host, if it's "guest friendly' or if visitors is allowed.

He said 'Yes', visitors are allowed. As long as they register in the reception with valid ID. Rules must be complied such as, Parties are not allowed and Loud music is not allowed because it is a residential building. So does it mean it is Chica friendly? As long they are dressed normal and obviously not looking like a prepago.

What's been everyone's experience with the ladies being ok with you recording your interactions?

Also, what about ladies working with another woman for a threesome?

Rambo has turned in his baton. Even he is like "fuck this place".

Yea this isn't Mexico. I Colombia people can have guns.

Honestly I'm just trying to maximize my time with as many women as possible haha. I don't mind using Uber to get around. It's about a 1/4 mile from Lleras park.

I found an AirBNB that verified they have security and are visitor friendly. Not sure if it will allow me to post the link here but it is:

Depends on what sort of things you want around you. Other parts of Poblado are great and Laureles area is fine too.

I think you will be OK. Don't be surprised if some of your dates show up without acceptable ID. In those situations you can use one of the many motels or love hotels nearby. I recommend you plot directions to a couple of them from the airbnb on one of the mapping apps. You might also get flak for multiple dates per day. Hopefully it doesn't happen but if it does that will be another reason to have the motel option available. You other option is of course find a different airbnb. There are many.

Dude, that ain't crazy, that is Colombia.

I guess the crazy part is I've walked past that area hundreds of times and even eaten there a few times. Seems like such a peaceful and pleasant setting.
