Medellin Reports

[JjBee62]

But learning Spanish improves access and quality of the encounters as much as any factor I can think of, including money, IMO. My Spanish skills sound about the same as yours. The Spanish I have learned has probably paid more dividends than any other single effort I have made with the chicas. In fact, I dream of the day when I will be truly fluent in Spanish and how that will further enhance my Colombian lifestyle. A milestone for me was when could leave my phone behind and not feel panic inside without access to Google Translate, jaja. Sure, learning Spanish may not be practical for a one time short term visit but even then, if you know ahead of time about your trip here, 20 minutes a day on the free app Duolingo is more than worth it.

I pulled my phone out twice to translate this trip. Once to look up a single word, the other time for a sentence I had right, but the guy couldn't hear me through my mask.

Spanish is useful and convenient in Colombia but not necessary for leisure purposes. It is an advantage but not a deal maker or deal breaker. On websites like this one you will often see statements along the lines of "no one speaks English in Colombia". Of course that is not true across the board. Very few of the providers and their support personnel we interact with as punters speak English but it is extremely rare to encounter a white collar professional in Colombia who does not have at least intermediate level English. It is generally a non-negotiable requirement for any salaried employees above entry level of major companies. Especially foreign owned companies.

Interesting perspective on who does, and does not speak English in Colombia. Seems that most of the younger professionals speak some, yet in my business dealings in Colombia which included architects, civil / structural engineers, accountants, none of them spoke any English, nor did I ever encounter but one or two people at Bancolombia or Claro which I had a lot of interaction with who spoke English. Additionally I purchased lots of materials from Homecenter and from other construction suppliers in Medellin and rarely encountered anyone who spoke English. So based on my personal business dealings that is my perspective.

I agree with you that for tourist / leisure activities it is not necessary, yet I see it as an impediment for mongers which was the point of my original post.

As an example as lot of Chicas will come up with "bullshit" excuses as to why they have to leave early, or need more money, or there may be an interaction with someone else like say a taxi driver or Portero or whatever, which may severely handicap the monger who doesn't understand what is being said. Hence if he understood he could question the veracity of things.

I guess I failed to accurately articulate this in my post.

Car lot and coming home with a Hooptie for which you overpaid, or a great deal on a low-mileage newer car in great condition. Alright, that's an exaggeration because it is possible to get great girls without knowing the language, but it will take you five times the effort.

I have most of the tenses down, although I occasionally get befuddled, however, the more important part is having the vocabulary to go with it. That's where most of my problem is, not being able to remember the right word.

That's interesting, finding the right words, meaning having a good vocabulary of words which I do isn't the problem for me but the tenses. And all the "dichos" or sayings that people use which won't be found in books. I also struggle at times with the pronunciation or that there may be four different words that can be used for something. And how about when to use "por" or "para", another set of rules apply to their use as well. Por and para also one of the words for "for" in English, yet por is used in the past when as an example thanking someone for their help, gracias por su ayuda, yet por is also used in a numbers terms like por dia o hora, so many "reglas" to learn as the fluent speakers on this board know.

Sisters from Cartegena. I knew they were not from medellin. These are wow girls.

When I walk in I see 2 stunning tall chocalate girls. I have never seen chocolate girls in gusto so I am wonder are they tourist as well. I also notice my 8th.

Pretty face. Looks a little pudgy tonight she's smiling. She's an old 6 tonight. I decide to buy her a drink. Step number one to balling LOL. Tequila 43 k. 57 k more and I am fucking a girl for 3 hrs. Balling days are over. I leave her alone. She text me says she wants to be with me tomorrow. Its not packed. And its a bad mix of gorditos and a few hot ones. In all Honesty, Gusto nightlife does not compare to Classico the. D.R, Clubs in Pattaya / Thailand. Anyways I am window shopping and I get one of the chocolate girl number. I am willing to pay 300 k for each of them that's how legit they look. Later she text me to by a drink. I text back when we meet. I know that probably kills the possibility. But I am not into paying for drinks then paying more for your time. I can use that money to buy liquor at the house. Anyways what I notice some girls are in Gustos and lleras park club working then the next week they are walking in lleras park. Guess they got the boot from the owners. I found that interesting. I was feeling better but not quite over my bug so I just wanted to get home and sleep. Got in cab the end.

Short woman and small breast. But in the casas you can find tall black or brunette woman. I always ask. Cuanto mides?

Entertaining. I am not questioning the veracity of your Report, but I thought "tall" and "Paisa" were mutually exclusive terms. I randomly tagged five Paisas in a row in Medellin and not one of them was over 5 feet tall.

The rumor has Colombia going into another quarantine. I'd prefer not to get stuck. Have a friend whovot stuck in Italy for 4 months. Anyone else hearing about another shut down?

Because the economy here is really fucking wrecked but there seems to be no end of stupidity when it comes to locking down.

I have been asking random Colombians, hookers, my trainer, taxi and uber guys what they think the overall case fatality rate is for covid and all of them (maybe 15-20 people, so not a huge sample) say 20-25% they honestly think that for every 4-5 confirmed cases one person dies.

I'm here until it's over and I'm prepared for a lockdown but my thinking is find the place you want to be until April and stay there, especially in the Northern Hemisphere because they aren't giving any notice.

Seem like a hole in the wall party that will try to charge foreignors a lot for drinks. I saw mostly siliconas. Another foreign guy Loved it. I didn't see it worth my time. Alot is overhyped. If you are a drug guy you will feel comfortable. I vouch for fase dos as a nice spot to view girls, Gusto cause you are not pressured to buy drinks, lleras park cause its free, energy life because atmosphere seems cool. I have to give it a try. Those are some.

The after hours parties for exclusively strippers and hookers are expensive.

That would be Faisan and Paradise.

However other spots like Seven and Farenheit are not as. However lots of locals. And the crowd is like a high school crowd. Totally not my scene.

[Sangnyc21]

Makes sense to get a bottle for 200 k then.

Many of you guys mentioned after hours places where strippers like to hang out and prices are reasonable. Would you care to share? Are those places open late during the pandemic? Seems like everything is shut down at 2 am or so.

Damn. When Sang said drinks were expensive I thought he was bullshitting. Last time I was in Gustos like 2 years ago drinks were half that price.

Gustos 2 years ago was completely different.

Right before COVID the weekends were comparable to Classico in DR with better overall talent.

They didn't have the mandatory 650 k charge for the booth as they do now.

Also remember one thing guys, Thursday- Saturday the girls have to pay 20 k to enter as well.

So when you add that in with taxi it can add up for their standards.

So this is why sometimes girls won't come here if they haven't pulled a customer in a while.

But a few hot ones will always keep coming and banking.

Gustos is a classic tourist trap.

I'm going to have to assume the only reason you go into Gusto's is because your close by, and just for the eye candy, which there doesn't seem to be much of. And two chocolate girls that are tourists in Gustos, that's funny, and I suppose they might be tourists coming from perhaps the Northern coast of Colombia to work, that would be my bet, especially a pair making the rounds together.

Why don't you try some other places like Fase Dos for a change, or even some of the Clubs in El Centro at Avenida De La Grief to compare to what you've been seeing in Gustos and at LLeras.

Los Tres Jotas, and I'm only one of those J's, visited La Isla last night, as part of the final night of my trip. The earlier parts will get a separate report.

We arrived using Didi around 10:15 pm, which is an ideal time if you're planning on buying a bottle and spending some time, rather than just grabbing a girl. Your chances of getting a good table are much better.

Entry procedure requires hand sanitizer, temperature check, frisk and paying the 20 k per person door fee, after which you're met by a waiter who will help with your table selection. Ours was in the corner, next to the stage, close to the doors leading up to the rooms, a good spot.

Initially every other seating area was closed off, keeping distancing between groups, but that ended once the club filled. By the time we were ready to go, about 2:30, we had received a few offers to buy our table.

Inside the club is much nicer than Fase Dos. The seats are comfortable the ambiance and lighting are excellent and the service is top notch. Just raise your hand and Freddy, or whoever your waiter is, will be right over. At Fase Dos, if you want service you need to first sacrifice a live chicken to the gods.

The music was much better than Fase Dos, better music means better dancers.

Overall the girls were better than Fase Dos, although we saw a few of the same girls at each club. However, there were a few that should be retired. Take a pretty girl, add a cheap boob job, a cheap butt job and cheap tattoos and no thanks.

Two of us took girls up to the rooms. Mine was a short girl with a bit of meat to her, one of the better looking boob jobs, but still not good and no tattoos. No GFE, CBJ, rushed from the beginning. She had done some coke, I know the signs, before we went up. Overall she was decent, but ends up on the bottom spot for my trip. Everything was too mechanical, too rushed. Price was 300 k all in.

I'd guess over 100 girls were there by the time we left and seemed the best ones arrived after 1 am.

Total for a bottle of Ron Medellin 5 years, 6 mixers and 5 lady drinks was 570 k, tip is not included. Freddy earned a 100 k tip and he was happy to get it. Lady drinks were 25 k each.

Crowd at La Isla was about 80% gringo. Fase Dos was 20% gringo.

There are 2 areas where Fase Dos beats La Isla, since prices are now the same. If you want to buy one coke and sit for 3 hours at Fase Dos, you can do that. Often it's a requirement, since it might take that long to get a second coke.

The real place where Fase Dos shines, the rooms. The rooms at Fase Dos are much nicer, much more comfortable and have hot water. La Isla didn't even have hot water and the rooms were smaller than many of the El Centro casas. At least they were clean.

Overall La Isla is a top notch club with a good offering of girls. The only weak spot was the rooms.
