Medellin Reports

[SpiderRider]

Ok, I call bullshit, BUT.

This is clearly making the rounds on FB / WhatsApp, if Wifey is sending it to me.

32-page federal decree (listed as Decreto 990), stating July 16 - August 1 isolation lock-down for all citizens.

I attached screenshots of the first and last couple of pages, along with the line simplifying it.

I hope this is fake, but who knows. I'll let some of you other guys do the investigation, and you just let me know how much I need to get at Carulla, next time I go!

Good God. I better get to work finding a live-in, love-in Maid.

FYI. Knowledge and PolloNegro. The Admins will be kicking you off this site. No food porn! That only belongs in the darkest furthest corner of the Dark Web.

But I believe in balance in the world so I promptly compensated with this fake boob girl.

Seems like you're having a better time already.

The fake boob lady looks good! Any more details? Where did you meet her?

Those were the days. Back in the day, the Mansion did not have chicas at night. No bar. So it was an afternoon affair and chicas were gone by 6 pm So if you did not have an appointment, you had to find your own fun. And one of those places as Mayorista. Most of the girls would "hide" back against the wall, so it was not always easy to see them. You would have to call them over to get a good look at them and also gauge if they were legal. There were plenty of UA chicas there back then. You could find some real gems. I remember a bubble butt little spinner I saw a few times. Great performance for peanuts (although the exchange rate was not as good back then. Around 2200). I even got to know the guy who ran one of the ST love motels.

It was crazy back then. I went with two gringos once and they were a little crazy. I was drinking a bear and the next thing you know the two guys were standing by the street snorting what they hoped was cocaine off a cardboard box that some street walker was holding. Cops did not care.

I also remember a group of chicas harassing me to take their friend. She was cute and was dressed up in mini-mouse clothes and a mini-mouse hat that you'd get at Disney. She was quite a spinner, but to me she was clearly jail bait, so I passed. When I passed those girls kept making fun of me. Basically telling me I was a chicken! Jajajaj. Better a chicken than in jail.

Overall, more ups than downs there. I miss those days to some extent. It was something different.

I remember years back when Mayorista was a great place to hunt.

I met some Mansion guys who when they found out I was staying at Franks Place they wanted to check it out. After I gave them the tour as we were walking down the strip they said look there is Demi Moore (Geraldine). I had heard about her but never met her. While they started to talk to her I said I better not let this slip by. In a break in the conversation I asked her { tu trabajando } she said si.

I asked her how much and she said 30 K. Off to the room and she stayed till the next morning. I gave her 50 K for that amount of time even though we had agreed on 30 K. I think she stayed so long because I let her use my laptop and fed her breakfast and lunch. It sure was not me being a great lover. Funny after that we became friends and I one time sent her a guy who paid 150 K to meet her in Polblado. I took her one other time but this time she did not stay. I guess she did not like my cooking.

[John Gault]

This is absolutely true and I'm not sure why some here refuse to acknowledge it. Girls charge significantly different prices depending on where they are. I'd witnessed all sorts of permutations on this. For those that remember Geraldine from way back, she was charging 150 k at the Mansion and was available for 25 k at Mayorista. I've seen Fase 2 girls hanging around downtown available at a fraction of what they'd cost at the club. I've seen "Mansion girls" working at casas fucking guys for a fraction of what they'd get from a guest at the house.

My last trip in February, I met a very hot looking girl at a casa during the day. After the session, I got her number and later asked her to visit me in Poblado. We agreed on 150k + taxi for her to visit me. But she said if I got a motel downtown, 50 K was fine. After we fucked again (downtown), I asked her why she wanted three times as much to visit me. She said that she didn't feel like traveling to Poblado. It doesn't make sense, but she apparently had a comfort zone.

Of course every prepago doesn't do this. But a hell of a lot of them do.

The ATM offered withdrawal selections of 1,540,000 and 2,000,000 COP. In the past the max was always 400,000 in Medellin, Cucuta, Bogota, Cartagena, and my first month in Barranquilla. This is a huge jump. I chose 400,000 but had a bad feeling so jerked out my card. Received a TRANSACTION ERROR and a print out ticket saying error no money paid. But money was deducted from my Schwab account. Schwab denied the claim even though tI sent picture of receipt with none payment. I called and explained this is a slam dunk. Look at your own description. All my withdrawals have format of:

Calle 53 No 46-192, Bar be / QUILL.

Carrera 51 # 50-26 MEDELLI.

Calle 28 No. 13 A - 17 Bogota.

Except this one that ripped me off:

Davivienda Davi be / QUILL 0800100 be / QUIL.

I thought it was a skimmer or something because it was during the weekend. Weeks later I tried again. Same high amount. Went to 3 banks and all the same high amounts offered. Fine I selected my regular 400,000. During processing (counting) (but no noise) I receive the Error screen and no money. Same description on my Schwab account. Schwab finally paid both.

Arrive at Medellin bus station I try again and the same high amounts offered so I walked away. Never use Davivienda again! Now use BBVA with no fees. Highest withdrawal is 600,000.

Denied? Did you have them file a chargeback? US banks are required to give you provisional credit until they get proof the funds dispensed from the merchant bank, via a journal entry from the ATM in question. I'd them call them again.

Here's a way to avoid similar problems: always select Spanish / espanol as language. Sometimes the UI programmers don't translate well or they fat finger numerical table values. Substantially fewer users operate the ATMs using the English language option so errors (and they are usually configuration errors not fraud) take longer to be reported and repaired. Of course when that sort of thing happens in the Spanish language menus it gets put right much sooner. It's not very different from badly translated restaurant menus. I've seen some doozies on which pork, poultry, and beef are used interchangeably.

The amounts don't look realistic because they are not rounded. For that reason alone I would not have selected them. Sorry this happened to you.

That is a little unfair to backpackers. Those guys are neither in that general age range nor do they appear to as concerned with personal care. Bless their scruffy souls.

LOL WTF!! Are they talking to SWs in that video? Is it disrespectful to hang out like that in Medellin. I have seen many begpackers like that in Medellin. Locals don't seem to mind that much though.

Saw a girl with a T-shirt that read hotter than wasabi. Of course it was on a fat ugly girl. It should be illegal to to sell T-shirt such as that or PHAT (pretty hot and tempting) to ugly or fat girls. A line needs to be drawn. Be outraged!

Strange no ARA markets here. Only Justo and Bueno and D1. Hate D1. Their fruit juice have less juice content than the other stores and they had the worst cola I have ever tasted. Petty yes. But petty I am. This is highly valuable information that needs to get out there. Rant over.

I feel horrible about all guys not here and I wanted to do a dedication to as many of you as I can. So this is what I came up with. I finish doggie style. When the time is right I say, "I am cumming. I am cumming". Then she screams out loud what I have written on the piece of paper in front of her.

OMG! Frank, Sammy, Bart. You are the best!

There are a lot of you so have to do 3 names at a time. You are welcome.

Try Euro or Olimpico for markets.

Sorry but really an 18 year quote guarantee there in Colombia?? Even in USA Dental companies come and go but man you are in Colombia and even dentists in USA Have implants fail then have to fight them literally tooth and nails.

Or toothless and nails.

The withdrawal limits maybe lower, however, their ATM's used to be Citibank's; they bought them off before they left Colombia. It's a Canadian bank and they have been 100%, (no issues from them or Citibank in over 15 years of travel) in any city that I've visited in Colombia and other countries.

Good advice and you a can make three withdrawals a day of 600,000 Pesos for a total 1,800,000 Pesos per ATM card per day, and their exchange rate is higher than Bancolombia as well.

In March I was withdrawing 3,600,000 COP a day with two of my ATM cards when the COP exchange rate was over 4,000 COP to and depositing into my Bancolombia account.

Davivienda offers up to 2 million per withdrawal, depending on your bank. I think it's 2,020,000. Had another guy tell me he didn't like Davivienda because he could only pull 400 k. We went to the same ATM. He was offered a maxif 400 k, I was offered up to 2 million.

Lasted 31 years, it just did not agree with the status Quo, so here I am, making the necessary changes to meet the Status Quo! Glad I only live 3 hours away from Colombia and I have to problem flying back down if I have any problems with my teeth, currently 1 year later, and I am more than happy with the service that I have been provided. Pollo Negro is out!

Next you ask about the security camera system and who is watching, you may think that it is a small room with maybe a cop haphazardly looking from time to time at a small screen! HUH they have a fully staffed and professionally equipment command center with multiple big screens, tracking camera systems, recording devices for all cameras, this rivals what you would find in a system in the USA. I have seen it.

I hope that this system will protect us from being mugged, because others have said that as soon as the tourist police disappear, any gringo is very vulnerable to gangs with knives.
