Medellin Reports

[CoolGregg]

Drove around and around, Medellin is a huge city, got to Luna Lunera about 10. Told driver to wait 5 minutes while I go in to check it out.

It's a small club, about 2,000 SF, claims to open 24/7 with 15 M Cops or $4 cover. No client, about 8 girls were sitting around, average sizes, looking pretty good to my taste. No strip show, no beers sold, only liquor, the cheapest is a 120 M cops .

I went to both clubs on my last two trip. Went to Luna first at 8 pm. Bouncer told me that most of girls start arriving between 10 and 11 pm. So went to Isla right from there. Same situation. That's why joint was not humming. Locals and girls start coming in after 10. Day time conejitas in centro not bad. But always buys due to central location.

Search the forum for "casa" all the filthy details are here. I will clean up my private messages. I didn't know guys can't slide up in my DMs. Well, maybe I should leave it the way it is. Just kidding, I will clean it up.

Knowledge,

Your PM quota is exceeded.

Would be very nice to find girls hotter than Camilla in casas. Any place outside Poblado would be less risky than P Lleras, markets in Centro, P Botero.

Please post pointers and addresses where to find casas. Can take UBER and visit a few. Thanks.

Nounce.

I was there until about 9 pm. 3 groups of guys were sitting with girls, but fee people bought drinks.

I saw about 20 girls, all too heavy for me. The girls selection, fun and sexy factors are about 30 percent of Hong Kong club in Tijuana.

The area around Plaza Botero and Metro stop Beerios is the busiest and liveliest in Medellin with thousands shops and hundreds thousands people walking in the day time, but at night all shops are closed, lights turned off, the whole area is dark and deserted, only vagrants scurrying in the dark.

Forget about finding any decent hotels near P Botero; there are none. The bros should stay in decent GF hotels in Poblado or Laureles, cab to Botero in the day time, bag a few hot girls, get their tels, then negotiate visits at night in the hotels.

A few hot Botero girls have been calling and texting me at all hours to hook up.

As it has been told many times here but bears repeating, no matter what debit card you are carrying, you should refuse the conversion rate when the prompt comes up on the screen when you are withdrawing cash at the ATM. That is simply an additional mark-up from the bank whose ATM you are using. I won't say the transaction always works when you refuse it, but 90% of the time it does. And if you are trying to draw out upper limit amounts, the same ATM can vary day to day quite a bit depending on the one you use, both on maximum amount per transaction, and maximum number of transactions per day or total amount per day.

After refusing the conversion rate what next? Is there another option or just proceed? Do they give the conversion rate that they are offering and is it that much lower than what you get after refusing? It's been a couple years since I've been there and I just don't remember being offered a conversion rate. But knowing all this now will help when I get back next month. Thanks.

It's in a semi residential area with a blue front door. Went through 3 layers of locked steel doors and headed upstairs.

A few couches and booths surround a small lobby. Signs on the walls say 55 M Cops or $14 half hour, 90 M or $23 full hour, beers 5 M. The woman manager said, will bring up girls, remember their names or numbers.

I sat in a booth drinking a beer. A dozen girls climbed up the stairs, went in the booth, said Hi and their names. They were older, like mid 30's, all huge with big butts, big boobs, tattoos looking crude, a few blacks. They looked like the huge bulbous Botero's sculptures. The selection was the worst in Colombia to my taste. A couple guys went in next and they repeated the process of walking up the stairs to introduce themselves, lots of climbing. Guys looked happy taking big girls for banging.

I paid for the beer and walked down through 3 buzzed steel door, felt like I was in a prison. Walked out to the nice, clean streets towards Plaza Botero, tried to erase the images of huge, bulbous women from my memory.

Turgid,

I go to Tijuana just about every weekend because of convenience, and it sure beats the LA ghettos with lots of violent crimes, ugly, skanky, hardened WGs.

People in Medellin show a lot of love to each other and to their children in public. Their children are nice, clean, well cared for, balanced, happy. They are friendly, honest, patient and helpful to strangers like me. Compared to other peoples in America, Europe, Asia, the average people in Medellin are civilized and good citizens.

I would want to do a few trips to MDE every year.

... after much congested traffic go to La Isla about 8..... I wasted my time and money at La Isla, would never go back.

Unless something has changed, I think you went too early.

Girls kept coming in to work through the back door to their dressing room. I sneaked a view and found a dozen girls with their street clothes off, putting on make up. They were almost all hefty with big butts, big boobs, thick thighs, lots of tats, plain faces, a few blacks. Beers are 33 M cops or $8 for guys and girls. Session costs 320 M cops or $80 including room. There were 2 skinny girls but their faces looked old, bodies plastered with tats, not interested.

I went to the manager, a big guy looking half African, no show, I wanted my money back to go home. He said money was gone, would never come back, give him 10 minutes to put on a show. 10 minutes later there was still no show. 5 minutes later he put a fairly chubby girl on stage, about a 3 on HK's scale in looks and dance. Eventually about 10 girls in dresses came out sitting by themselves on the couches, not looking at guys, not going around flirting. Was looking hard but could not find one worth a session for any money, I went to the manager again asking for my money back. He said wait a minute, brought out a cute, smiling girl for me, about 5'5 160 lbs. She looked cute but was still too heavy for my taste, not interested. There were still no strippers, no show, it got very boring.

I decided to leave to go to the next stop, booked UBER but no drivers wanted to go up to that area, kept canceling. La Isla has club cars driving guys back to downtown for 25 M Cops or $6 but I did not want to give them more money, rather waited for UBER while viewing the club..

Wow, that was not what is was like for me at all. There were two women when I was there I would put in the 9 or 10 category and plenty of 8's. I saw one fit girl work the pole as well as any gymnast in the world. Sorry I suggested it, and you had a bad time.

.... The average people in Medellin are very friendly, honest, kind, smiling, cheerful, patient, helpful, a tolerant and almost noble people. Medellin is nice, clean, lush green with beautiful landscapes, breath-taking sceneries and exotic culture. With so many hot spinners near Botero Pl.....

Mexico is in danger of losing a regular.

Had a hard time finding UBER drivers for La Isla at 7. They kept canceling due to congested traffic to the tunnel heading to the airport. Finally found one, after much congested traffic go to La Isla about 8.

20 M Cops ($5) cover. The club is a converted warehouse w high ceiling, about 6,000 SF with a strip stage in the center, booths and long lounging couches around, flat lightings, no decorations. Music was thumping but there was no show, only 6 guys and 2 girls in dresses sitting idly. I felt disappointed. 6 to 8 meseros were sitting on couches not dong anything, not pushing me to buy drinks.

Just a tip for fellow mongers overseas, never ask for your money back, especially if it's a meager cover charge. It might be ok to ask for some type of credit if you have some bad experience, but asking for your money back as a tourist with money who comes here to fuck women while these workers are living on poverty wages, makes you look like a cheapskate and someone worth robbing. Don't make yourself a target.

It's official. A taxista spoke.

I know right? Toss up Taxista or a random monger on a monger board. I'll take the local Colombian's advice on this one

I have a Chucky Schwab card and use it all the time in Medellin. As I recall in order to get their card I had to open two accounts with them, brokerage and checking, and keep a balance in the checking account only, I don't remember if there was a minimum balance. Then I incidentally mentioned to my Wells Fargo banker the deal I had with Chuck, and he gave me the exact same deal on my Well Fargo debit card. Well, maybe not exactly the same, there is some theoretical maximum number of transactions per week or month that I have never exceeded, and a minimum balance may be required.

Just like a razor blade can only get so sharp, and you can only shave so close no matter how many blades you stack together, a debit card in Medellin is "as good as it gets" if it sets the conversion rate at an index without a margin; the bank you are drawing on in the states does not charge you any "international" fees; and your bank refunds any service charges the bank in Colombia is trying to impose. At that point, all cards are equal, it doesn't matter what they are called but Chucky has the rep until too many low ballers go there to get a card and they decide to no longer offer that level of service, which is their right to do at any moment.

These are debit cards so there should not be any annual fee for using them. Don't forget, if you stick your Visa or Mastercard credit card in the slot for cash, you will most likely get hit with a very high cash advance percentage rate, easily in the mid 20's. Ha, to me that's loan sharking, but you know, the big banks get their way.

As it has been told many times here but bears repeating, no matter what debit card you are carrying, you should refuse the conversion rate when the prompt comes up on the screen when you are withdrawing cash at the ATM. That is simply an additional mark-up from the bank whose ATM you are using. I won't say the transaction always works when you refuse it, but 90% of the time it does. And if you are trying to draw out upper limit amounts, the same ATM can vary day to day quite a bit depending on the one you use, both on maximum amount per transaction, and maximum number of transactions per day or total amount per day.

Gratuitous fotos, six different chicas all at or from Ground Zero costing between 30-150 mil, NOT counting hotel fees or guest charges. Let's not forget, we're all here to feel good or it's not worth it.

No strip show, no beers sold, only liquor, the cheapest is a 120 M cops or $30 half bottle of rum to drink with girls. Knowing bar girls' tricks, they would knock their drinks down fast so you keep having to buy more bottles to sit with them, Girls cost 200 and Cops or $50 including room.

The girls seemed hungry for business. They all got up, shyly walked out, looking at me, smiling shyly but no talk, no touches, no flirting. A few looked hot and charming enough for sessions. Girls are more like my taste and could be fun companies. The place is more like a bordello where you can drink and meet the girls.

This club feels nice, has good potentials but had no client on Thursday night, so they must be hungry.

UBER driver drove me to Plaza Botero. All shops had closed, the entire area looked dark and deserted. The driver warned me, this area very dangerous, no cabbies would drive to this area at night, I could be stuck without a safe way to get out of the area among hundreds shady people.

I asked driver to park and wait for me 5 minutes, walked to the church area to survey the situation. The streets were totally dark. Dozens guys scurried around with about 20 bad-looking girls leaning on walls. There were no signs of policia presence. This area looks obviously very high risk. If you cannot find a taxi to get out, you may not live to tell the story.

Driver said girls and their pimps in this area would beat up and rob guys. Locals never go here at night. He said if you want to see girls skinnier and prettier than those in La Isla, Club Luna Lunera on carr 33 has them. We headed to Luna Lunera.
