Medellin Reports

In your opinion, which place has the hotter women, La Isla or Hong Kong?

From my trips, Hong Kong had more hot women overall but La Isla had a higher percentage of them.

I am of the same opinion as you, regarding La Isla vs Hong Kong club in Tijuana.

I'll give my unsolicited opinion. I've spent dozens of nights in HK. Only two nights in La Isla, so maybe not a fair comparison. But HK easily won on both quality and quantity. It absolutely could have been timing, though I was there on a Friday night.

That said, La Isla does not have meseros up your ass every time you blink. So I'm going to try La Isla again and cross my fingers.

This has been addressed numerous times. There's no way anyone can guarantee you will have good luck with Facebook girls. A lot of FB girls (but by no means all) are the "girl next door" type and others are looking for business and are far more professional. You can tell from their posts. Once you build up a few friends, you'll be able to decide which is which and what suits your fancy.

Is FB worth it? For me it has been and about 80% of the chicas I've met in Medellin have come from FB. Generally, I've had great times with all of them, some actual conversations, and not quite as much of a "hardened" or "professional" relationship. GFE would be a good description.

How do you do it? Again. Addressed hundreds of times. Make an account. Post some pictures. Request some chica friends. Use their friends to request more friends. About a week before you get to Medellin post you're coming. You'll start getting requests and chats. Then. It's up to you to figure it out.

Thanks for the reply. I'm comfortable on how to do it. I have a few chicas I've talked to. I was more just curious on the experiences. Your answer helps. I'm definitely more of a GFE guy than a PSE or hit it and quit it type. (Probably why casas aren't as appealing to me.)

I do wonder about Centro. That is a bit of a mystery. Never went there. And because of that, it is a bit intimidating. I'm by no means a guy filled with fear. I've foolishly walked the streets in Tijuana in the wee hours of the morning. But for some reason, the mongers here have me worried about the craziness that is Centrom LOL And I'm not a big fan of the SG game in Tijuana anyway. So not sure Centro would be a good fit for me. But I think I'll give it a look just out of curiosity this visit.

Again, thanks!

I was at La Isla the same week as Captain Solo, and I had a different experience. The place was pretty full the night I was there with 2 wingman. There were quite a few eye candy girls, and one wingman decided to stay there longer and took a dancer for the night.

I know Captain Solo from the Tijuana forum, and we had a few beers together at Parque Lleras last week. He is one picky monger, who speaks up his mind.

Sounds like a fish story.

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.

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.

...As for the business there, La Isla isn't hurting. On a Friday or Saturday night after midnight, it's jam packed and people are literally throwing money. Like most places, timing is important.

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.

Well all I can say is I would not carry whatever ATM cards your carrying. The only difference with Schwab I believe is that they only wave their fee to use their card. Never heard of a foreign transaction fee on a debit card.

You should re-confirm that information. It is not consistent with official sources (Colombia Ministry of Health). See what your airline says. If you are planning travel it's best to check in advance.

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.

I have a Wells Fargo debit card and they don't charge me a foreign transaction fee when I make a cash withdrawal at an ATM machine, only a non-bank ATM fee, along with the foreign bank ATM fee.

Something doesn't sound right if your getting charged a foreign transaction fee on a debit card.

I also have a Bank of America debit card and it's the same as my WF card.

Peoples are not all the same. I found the average Colombians on the streets far kinder, nicer, and more patient than the aggressive Americanos. They are very polite and helpful with their old-world manners. They would go out of the way to help me then come back to follow up to make sure I got what I needed.

This little girl Tatania runs the Ciel Spa on ground floor of hotel Ayenda Habana Vieja near Santa Fe Mall. She was desperate with the stuck front door, spent close to an hour yanking, exhausted trying to open it. 3 guys came and went, one looked like her BF on a motorbike, but none spent any time or looked at the problem to help her open it.

I don't understand why people were helpful to me and not to this little girl.

I went to Colombia the first time, not only for girls and sex, but also trying to understand more about the life of average people.

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.

Horny Stud,

I like to research and experiment with all kinds of physical, social, scientific phenomena. I went to Colombia the first time, not only for girls and sex, but also trying to understand more about the life of average people.

In this case with La Isla, I went in at 9 PM, the club had only a few clients, looked empty and dead, there was no show, no girls around, which was unusual in puta bars business. I took a peek in their dressing room, saw over a dozen old, fat, ugly, tatted women applying make up, looking like freaks. I figured I would not want to watch them anyway when they put on a show. I did not want to waste time there, not really care about and did not expect the $5 refund, but I was bored waiting for their show and decided to push the huge manager around to see how he would react.

The guy looked like a huge gangster in his black suit. I expected him to be rough and rude, but he acted very calm and restrained, embarrassed and apologetic, almost distressed, at the situation. He pushed a girl to go up the stage and strip. She was below average in looks and dance compared to strippers in Hong Kong club in Tijuana. I was not impressed, again went to the manager guys, told him I did not like the show and pushed him for a refund. He looked embarrassed. The club was not doing much business. A few guys who went in were not buying any drinks..

One aspect that permeates Colombian culture is an aversion to being directly confrontational. If you're trying to do business it can be frustrating, because they won't tell you "no. " Instead they'll give an ambivalent response. It's the same issue that comes up when you're expecting a girl to show, but she ghosts you. There's a good chance she had other obligations, or couldn't make that time. That's why I let the girls know I'm flexible. What time is best for them, or would tomorrow be better? It seems to work for me.

In the situation you described, there was no benefit for the guy to respond any other way. He already had your money and there was absolutely nothing you could do to get it back. He could have easily had some guys take you outside, beat the crap out of you, take your money and drop your unconscious body somewhere in a remote area. Or he could be polite and attempt to make you happy, which is much easier.

As for the business there, La Isla isn't hurting. On a Friday or Saturday night after midnight, it's jam packed and people are literally throwing money. Like most places, timing is important.

Probably "maybe not exactly the same". I don't see how it is possible for your Wells Fargo guy to intercept the billing program routines. I have both cards. Wells Fargo does not reimburse my foreign bank ATM fees, charges me its own "non-bank" ATM fee on top of that and a foreign transaction fee. Schwab for me.

What do you mean by ground zero?

Ground zero, depending on who is talking is a spot in El Centro. In this case it's the area in Botero Plaza in front of the Veracruz church.

When Osteo says a girl was "delivered by Scarlet" he's referring to one of his regular girls who likes to bring over girls for threesomes.
