Medellin Reports

[JjBee62]

I caught this on Google Street Maps this was at Avenue Maracaibo (Calle 53) between Carrera 46 and Carrera 47, you can see that one guy is getting ready to knife another guy. If you close at the photos you can see a white jacket the one guy has in the first photo (the photo with the truck's luggage rack dead center) blue shirt guy is standing directly behind the truck clutching the white jacket. Next photo is white shirted guy is pulling out the knife and has the jacket laying behind him and blue shirted guy is doubled over like he just got tagged. The next photo white shirt guy is full on knife fight stance and I am a little impressed that blue shirt guy has not just ran but he looks like a glue head so maybe he is not smart enough to know when to run. Then the final scene that Google captured, the one where you see the back of a white car, they are grappling with maybe the jacket and the knife.

I originally posted this months ago, and since then I have gone back to look and Google has changed the street view dates that are available to see and I cannot find it, but at the time I took a look around to see how people were responding to the situation and no one was even reacting except the guy in the baseball cap walking backs up at first as the guy is pulling out the knife but then he just looks like he is waiting to get by.

This was obviously locals seemingly fighting over a jacket but possible ready to kill over the jacket and I wonder if any of the El Centro regulars have seen this type of scraps before?

Saw 2 young guys beating on a homeless guy and taking a cellphone from his pocket alongside the Veracruz church one night about 9:30. Later saw the homeless guy walking through Botero Plaza. My thoughts were that the homeless guy had stolen the phone from someone and the 2 guys were stealing it from him.

Totally agree with that, most of the time, it's going to be fine. It's a small percentage where things go wrong. .............

I've traveled all over the world and the only place where I've been physically accosted was in El Centro Medellin. Some years ago I had my phone out taking photos and two guys came up to me one of whom grabbed my phone in public with many people around, no weapon was brandished and I held on to the phone shouting loudly "Policia!". They walked away. People barely looked and none with any appearance of shock or surprise. The other time I was seated on a bench in Botero park and a female druggie asked me for money which I refused, she socked me one on the chin and ran away. She packed quite a whallop. About half an hour later I saw her running with police in hot pursuit. Never a dull moment in El Centro.

The real problem is that more and more unaware people reads reports here and gets the impression that "if they go there, I can go too". 99% of people in Centro is ok, but the problem is the 1% who does not mind using a knife to get what he desperately needs. It is important to keep in mind that ANY foreigner, it does not matter how badly dressed, bald or with long pony tail, is seen by those 1% as a walking ATM, most likely with more money in pockets than anyone else in a 5 km radius.

Totally agree with that, most of the time, it's going to be fine. It's a small percentage where things go wrong. If you grew up near any major city, this is nothing new. I go to El Centro to walk around, do some shopping, get lunch. Middle of the day and never had an issue, the store employees are always very polite and welcoming and I've even found the two best English speakers in Medellin at shoe stores in Centro, weird.

Depends what your plans are but I rarely leave the house with more than 200 k. If I'm going to Centro for a couple of hours, I may only take 100 k. I can get lunch (10 k), buy a pair of shoes (50 k), buy a bag full of fruit (10 k) and still have left over. I plan to monger but never found anything I like. Every time I've been in Centro, I see numerous small groups of Europeans, or other Americans, or couples. All wearing shorts, flip flops, camera out around the neck, clearly tourists.

Basically, don't be an idiot and don't carry more than you're willing to lose and there should be no problem.

Much worse than that. See this old report of mine "Night street scenes in El Centro" dated 2008:

Surfer500 will like to read this old report, if he forgot it.

SIGH! I was 12 years younger, discovering this new world of Colombia, venturing out at Centro strolling the streets at 2am doing "social exploration", amazed by that alien world and trying to emulate the King of South America Tungurahua and his mythical posts from Quito and beyond.

Over the last years, I have been increasingly perplexed by seeing more and more reports here kind of "legitimizing" the Centro, almost encouraging people to go and enjoy like if it was nothing. No, in general it is NOT a good idea to go there and exhibit ourselves evidently foreigners. I say that, and I am one who likes to go and explore anywhere. I took my risks and I was also robbed a couple times (entirely my fault). The only reasonable way to stay safe and out of troubles is 1) blend and do not put yourself under spotlight; 2) show yourself busy; 3) "No dar papaya".

As it was easily predictable, examples of robberies or attempts were reported here recently. Many more must have happened, but were not reported. The real problem is that more and more unaware people reads reports here and gets the impression that "if they go there, I can go too". 99% of people in Centro is ok, but the problem is the 1% who does not mind using a knife to get what he desperately needs.

No not massage or happy ending spas. I am in Barranquilla and based on the map there is 15 Spas. 2 are closed with For Rent signs (Holistico and Bamboo). Elite opened for 2 weeks then closed again for 3 weeks now. 7 are open: 3 Relax sites, Perfect Time, Beautiful Lady, Paradise, and Zero Stress. So half are open for now. The others have no online advertisements so I see no reason to make a personal trip to verify what I am 95% sure they are closed. I have walked to all of these and never been bothered by police. Curious about the situation in Medellin.

I think cheap and expensive only come into existence when comparing. On top of it, the value of that experience could vary significantly from person to person. A guy in Mexico forum spent over $2000 to travel from US to Mexico City only to fuck a porn star he fancied. Is that expensive?

Well it is definitely a comparison thing. Nothing is either sweet or sour when there is nothing to compare it to. If you compared the amount she got paid to do a movie ($500-$1000) with the amount he spent to fuck her ($2000), then I would say he would have come out much cheaper hiring her to do a movie and fucking her in that. He would have actually made money then, because he could have sold the movie!

[LoveItHere69]

Not funny. That is 2-3 guys checking the white guy's pockets. The guy is getting robbed. Some of you people do not belong in Centro. You have no idea what is happening.

Saw an older tall white guy with a George Jefferson hairline trying to get away from getting groped by 2 or 3 trannies. I had to laugh. Seem like the trannies have spread out a bit more geographically. Perhaps the ones from Parque Bolivar are also around Botero now.

She gave me a good ball licking and aggressive head job. I was about to ask her if she wanted me to bust in her mouth but she stopped to grab the condom. I asked her why and she said she could taste the cum starting to drip out of my cock. She had huge boobs and a decent ass. She wanted missionary first and she was pretty wild. Then I hit it back door and she told me she wanted it deep and hard. 20 minutes later I busted.

Good one!

I've been to El Centro twice since Friday's knife incident. Saturday at 1100 it was not nearly as busy as Friday afternoon had been. I took three slow laps through Botero and Veracruz but nobody caught my eye. Monday at the same time I went also, knowing that it would be a ghost town on Festivo, which is was, relatively. But I like searching for those gems.

Tomorrow one of the cuties that sells coffee in Parque Berrio is coming over to my apartment. A few weeks ago I stood at the top of the stairs above Berrio and picked the prettiest Venezuelan coffee girl, and went down to buy a cup and say Hello,. We've been flirting with each other since then and tomorrow it's on. Of course, with these girls, I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm hopeful that there will be a report to follow tomorrow evening. She's really cute and has a big smile and positive energy.

Today I also found a new apartment. I checked out three and one really stood out to me. I'm looking forward to moving in soon and getting a fresh start.

Been in the mood to do some mongering lately, so I headed down to El Central again today. A lot more people out than yesterday. I'm starting to see 90% of the same chicas around Botero and Veracruz. A lot are not doable, or at least you wouldn't want to tell anyone you did it. The weekends seem to bring out a little better talent. It seems like some chicas are out there daily while others take days off here and there.

I talked to one chica who was pretty cute with a nice body and a cinnamon skin tone but we could not come to an agreement so I kept it movin. Decided to hit El Raudal since I haven't been down there in a minute. Saw a chica with an incredible body but didn't make it over by her. If I see her again, its on. Walked around a bit more and got with a chica on that side. She was standing in one of the doorways and when I walked by she called me over and said she would suck me raw and lick my balls. This is what I wanted to hear. She wanted 40 and off we went. The hotel room had air conditioning which was surprising. Also, she flicked on the TV and it was playing porn.

She gave me a good ball licking and aggressive head job. I was about to ask her if she wanted me to bust in her mouth but she stopped to grab the condom. I asked her why and she said she could taste the cum starting to drip out of my cock. She had huge boobs and a decent ass. She wanted missionary first and she was pretty wild.

I caught this on Google Street Maps this was at Avenue Maracaibo (Calle 53) between Carrera 46 and Carrera 47, you can see that one guy is getting ready to knife another guy.

I saw two young guys have a fist fight in Botero last week. In general, that area can be very depressing. A lot of people are walking around like zombies. The poor diet and stress from smoking, using drugs and being out in the street hustling shows on a lot of the chicas.

Daytime, I can go out there and chill. If it is night and I am by myself, I try to move with a purpose. But, I'm very rarely out there by myself at night.

How a places "looks" and "feels" often has little to do with actual risks or what dangers may be present. A lot of places "feel" safe until your number comes up, then one's perspective changes. . Though there is plenty of good advice here about staying alert and keeping as law a profile as possible.

I really expected it to be crazier and less safe. Growing up in NY and hanging out in Jamaica Queens, Chinatown, Bronx, Washington Heights, El Centro was tame. If you grew up in a city, there's no shock. NY, LA, SF. All have areas that look / feel way worse than El Centro.

I grew up in a cornfield. Since then I've spent time, mostly working, in every major US city, although other than a wrong turn in the Bronx, I was mostly in the better areas. The real shock of El Centro was the crowds. My first real exploring day was one of those market days when everyone is out.

[Nounce]

Amen. I had some decent experiences with the FB girls, the WA girls, but I have fortunately learned a lot, and made better contacts. In a pinch, I'll do the 250.000 WA / FB girl for one pop in an hour. However, knowing that the aforementioned all-night threesome is available at the same price. Why deal with the unions!? Obviously, better deals are to be had. I just don't spend as much time on it. Well, this trip, at least. Prior to arriving, I will spend hours upon hours doing the dirty work. When Wifey is here most days / nights and can pull on her own, for me, I just don't go searching for the deals as much as I focus on the experience.

I am not referring to a union with a pimp or leader like La Diabla. I think OP must have read about other reports with higher prices so I am telling the OP there are different prices. The price depends on the girls. Sometimes there are a group of girls who ask the same price because they may have heard about it from the same source so it is like a price union.

If she is who I think she is, she quoted me USD100. I did not talk to her after because I was just getting her contact for another member here. No question that you had a good deal but I would not assume that is a deal I can get. She is more like a FB girl but her price is set higher on SA. I also think mongers are not on SA to get cheaper price, freebie maybe, but it is usually more expensive.

You have to realize it is a buyers market at the moment a lot of desperate single mums who have partner that no income.

Maybe but the desperation is not obvious from the Covid Black Friday and the reports here except the recent El Centro reports. One girl told me Colombia is not USA. I think she was telling me that the current financial situation they are facing is nothing new.

Though there are plenty of dangers in the states, especially at night in high crime areas, foreigners in poor countries are targets in a special way. The thieves know what you are and you are on their radar. Though there is plenty of good advice here about staying alert and keeping as law a profile as possible.

Would you consider it expensive for 1 round for 1 person?
