Medellin Reports

[Captain Solo]

LeFeu.

I never posted anything about Colombia, and was never critical of her women in the past, until I actually went to Colombia this month. I only post about places I actually went to and people I actually met. Even among Tijuana's 6 most popular bars, I reported factually their ambiances, shows qualities and quantities and qualities of their girls. They are not all my favorites. Hong Kong club has always come out on top based on those measures. I am not alone to favor Hong Kong, thousands guys pack into it every night. The other bars are not doing anywhere as well. The noobs would walk into the other bars, looking around at the girls for less than 5 minutes and immediately want to go back to HK. I am not biased for Mexican or against Colombian girls. That's just how attractive and fun HK is to the large crowd of mongers.

As you and I were checking out the girls at Pargue Lleras, even you admitted to me that most were over weight, grotesquely out of shape, crudely tattooed, ugly faces, only 1 or 2 were attractive spinners, and we were sitting at the bar looking out at the park, waiting for them to show, but the quality did not improve by midnight when I decided to dump Camilla and went out for a street girl. There was only 1 spinner whom I was mildly interested in and was negotiating a deal with her, but Bay went out and informed me that she had cheated you the night before. So I dropped her.

I came back to LA Monday night, spent Tuesday replacing the stolen phone. Wednesday a wingman wanted to go to Tijuana so we drove down, arriving about 7 PM. The weather was very cold, about 50 F. The poor street girls were shivering in the cold wind, turning purple, their bare legs shaking. Tall Veronica was in front of Azuls, wrapped in many layers of clothes, but her face had turned ashen and she was shaking. One of my wingman really likes her. I really feel sad for these poor girls.

HK was nice, warm, well-ventilated inside, packed with over 200 girls, girls to guys ratio was probably 3 to 1, many new ones trying to make Christmas money, most were not wearing masks, looking nice, clean, pretty, slim, beautiful, smiling, friendly, flirty, attractive, many looked good enough to qualify for international modeling jobs. Many girls were hitting on us for drinks, sex, Christmas presents. The tiny Cesia was there, hitting on my wingman. She's normally very aloof and reticent, so she must have been desperate for business.

Sasha was drinking her beers at the bar as usual, one of the top HK girls 10 years ago, her torso and arms have gotten bigger with age, and she books very few clients now. Skinny Estephanie from GDL, looking like Maria Shriver, was hugging, squeezing me hard, trying to get me to go to the hotel. Sadly very few girls were bought fichas or taken upstairs, most were just hanging around the club looking desperate.

We were drinking, smoking, ogling the beauty and grace and absorbing the youthful sexual charms of over 2 hundred beautiful girls all around us. I felt like, yes, I am back with real beautiful, soft, sweet, sexy girls in the Hong long club, not lost among the ugly, mean, aggressive, beastly thieving freaks in Colombia. It's very hard for any bar in the rest of the world to compete against HK in beautiful girls availability and the fun, excitement factors. Quite a few seasoned international mongers would admit so. One said HK is the best club in the world in front of senor Frogg as we sat drinking rum one night in club Friese in Bogota. That bros should know. He spends most of his time traveling the world to have fun in putas bars.

I reported on various locations and venues in Colombia while I was still on site, so I would not forget the specifics. I actually used very mild language as I know there are guys with their heads all wrapped up in this mythical beautiful Medellin girls bull shit. In truth, almost all Lleras girls were obese, tattooed, pierced ghetto punks strung out on drugs. A bro posted that they might stab you with a knife. I would not be surprised.

Isla girls were way too huge, disproportional, pear-shaped, looking ridiculous like tattooed ghetto freaks. I was shocked to see their huge, freakish bodies. Guys must be very stupid and hard pressed for sex to pay money to fuck those huge pear-shaped creatures.

The women at New Life casa were similarly huge and repulsive. The poor women were not happy walking up the stairs again and again to present themselves to new guys every 5,10 minutes and got rejected for their $10 sessions in bed.

Found a few hot young girls near Iglesia de Vera Cruz at Plaza Botero, but that area is crime-ridden and risky to hang out even in day time; night time it's a wasteland. Any bros want those sweet, pretty young girls' phone numbers for take out, let me know.

For a couple afternoons, I was standing in front of the hotel watching hundreds civie girls walk home from Santa Fe mall, found very few, actually none, attractive enough for romantic pursuit. The myth about Medellin having lots of beautiful women is just bull shit. But I have to admit, I was looking at thousands of women workers going home at the Panasonic plant in Tijuana, almost all were overweight and unattractive. We should limit the discussion to just bar and street girls available for sex.

My opinion remains that guys would be wasting time and money flying to Colombia for girls. Tijuana is a much better option.

I was there at the same time as him, and I am still in Medellin. I even met Captain Solo and had a few beers with him at a bar in parque Lleras in Medellin. My wingman and I also spent some time in Cartagena.

From what I read about Captain solo extensive posting in the Tijuana forum, he has always been biased towards Mexican chicks. He was also always critical of Colombian women, yet I believe this is the first time has visited the country.

With or without a QR code, authenticating a vax card is ridiculously easy. I expect someone will be exploiting that opportunity soon.

And if anyone has $1 million to get started on on a vax verification business which could easily generate $100 million, I'll happily show you how to do it, once the money is in my account.

MyChart already has a head start.

[JustTK]

Yet, it's a total joke for International travel without a worldwide verification system in place. No different than for the Yellow Fever shot issued by WHO.

Could you imagine being denied travel despite having a vax card, just bcos your doctor or his secretary made a database entry error? You might cosnider it fine in your own personal situation, but coming from a developing country, you can not expect the same level of competence.

The world accepts card based evidence for all other vaxxes. I expect they will continue with this one, especially since the data will need to be updated every 6 months per person.

[Surfer500]

It won't be long before more press reports appear about guys who tried to game the system.

Apparently it's a felony in the USA to forge a vax card. I'm from California and they have a registry like most other states, so verification at least in Country is easy if actually required. Yet, it's a total joke for International travel without a worldwide verification system in place. No different than for the Yellow Fever shot issued by WHO.

It's just a matter of time until something is put in place. So for the time being, and I know guys that have done it, is they print up a vax card, insert the data required, and they are good to go at least for those from the USA.

A total joke for the time being.

Many years ago I worked with a guy who thought the same as you. He had found a way to steal from the company and he didn't see any way that anyone could find out. I don't know how long he got away with it, he started before I worked there. When he did get caught it was through a series of coincidences, all because he lacked the imagination to see how he could be discovered. The beauty of his plan was that it didn't show up on the books, it was impossible for accounting to detect his theft. The flaw was that to me it was, once those coincidences happened, painfully obvious.

Over the 1 year period which he was charged with he had gotten away with just over $20,000. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison, although I'm sure he only had to serve 2 years. Not really worth it, in my opinion.

I am a hypocrite. I complain about ongoing threads about debit and credit cards that start to read like promotional brochures but here I am prolonging yet another one of them. So, I think most agree there are many credit cards that do not assess foreign transaction fees. Why anyone would not use them for purchases instead of a debit card that does assess the fees is, I suppose, a matter of personal choice or personal finance sophistication. Reeling the discussion back to ATM withdrawals, there are comparable options to the sacrosanct Schwab card. Among several others are debit cards online banks issue associated with checking and / or brokerage accounts. Anyone interest in comparing offers should fire up the search engine of their choice and have at it. The alternative is to follow financial advice available on this site and hope for the best.

Welcome to Canada and a few other places. But actually Schwab charges foreign transaction fees if you actually BUY something with their debit card vs. Make an ATM / cash machine / cajero withdrawal. 1%. E-Trade too. The solution to that is the Capital One credit card: no FOREX fees, no annual fee, 1.5% cash back on everything, 25 day billing cycle, no minimum reward redemption. However in LatAm (and elsewhere when traveling), very occasionally you have to use a debit card on line for a purchase, bus tickets, etc. And Schwab does charge for that.

[JonnyPokerStar]

LOL. They get up and go to work everyday like most other people in the world. You act like they are living in igloos, have to lay traps for food, and worship the flying spaghetti monster everyday.

Paisas describe Bogota as being basically like that.

[JonnyPokerStar]

My biggest cost is always the foreign exchange difference, on my debit card. It's not a fee, its the exchange rate your bank gives you. In my case it is always 2. 5 to 3. 5% depending on which of my banks I use. It is in addition to any foreign transaction fees, ATM fees, or fees that the bank in Colombia may charge. I've been told that see Shwab does not do this. But I cannot get a CS account as I live outside of the US.

There is a service called Remitly which I have found gives the best exchange rates. Go to their website, request the remission, and pick up the cash at Bancolombia.

Its the vax card that they want to see. If you have had a vax and don't have a card, they won't allow you entry. But if you have a vax card and no vax, they will. So the vax card wins every time.

It will be interesting to see if and what they question. I know some vax cards have QR codes that they could scan to authenticate, like those from Europe, but the majority of the world does not. An immigration official would not be able to authenticate a vax card that does not a have a QR code, despite what the fear mongers here might think.

Hey guys, do you know if there are any casas within walking distance of San Peter apartments that's worth going to? TIA.

[Huacho]

Never heard of a foreign transaction fee on a debit card.

First you have to get past the airline check in. If it goes badly you can find yourself on a no fly list. If you manage to get to Colombia then you have to get past immigration. If that goes badly you will be deported on the next flight back, which could land you on the no fly list. Anyone who goes this route please let us know how you make out.

I think what he's trying to say is if you have a fake vaccination card you can get in.

Which is the same thing as when the 3 gringos in Cartagena thought using a fake Covid test would get them out, or (was it Cali or Bogota?) when the guy who was supposed to quarantine decided he didn't need to. Or when guys think that they're okay with girls who have a fake cedula.

It's all the same thing. Each country has their rules. You can often figure out how to bypass those rules, but the penalty if you get caught greatly exceeds the price to abide by the rules. With the fake vaccination cards, it's only a matter of time before they start finding them and then the clever people will find themselves banned from Colombia.

[Lefeu]

He didn't say the story sounded fishy, he said it sounded like a fish story. Almost the complete report was about the fish smell coming from the woman. His comment was tongue-in-cheek, a fish story, not questioning anyone's integrity.

I suppose you are right. I interpreted it differently, and I am ready to apologize. I did not mean any harm.

[Lefeu]

And there's nothing wrong with being picky, or speaking your mind. However, it can become an issue when you fail to recognize that the problem isn't with whatever you're criticizing, but instead is your own issue.

Hey, I never said that I always agree with him. If you check the Tijuana forum, you will find out that I often disagree with him, especially when he compares Tijuana women to Colombian women. This was his first trip to Colombia, yet he has been critical of Colombian women for a while longer before coming here. I guess he is clearly biased towards Mexican chicks.

But I don't hold that against him. Met him for the first time last week and we had a few beers together. From my part, he is entitled to his opinion.

[Fun Luvr]

Except that I was physically there with him, and I can assure you that his story is accurate.

I am not sure how you are coming up with these conclusions. You may disagree with his opinions about Colombian women, but you have no right to question his integrity, just out of whim. There were 2 other mongers there too, who can verify the accuracy of this story.
