Medellin Reports

I think we are saying the same thing, meters or doors. You won't need a tape measure if you use the sequence of buildings instead of the distance from the cross street. If you are looking for Cr. 43 #44-39 and you pass #43-41 and #43-43 then you know you went two buildings in the wrong direction, no measurements necessary. I'm trying to make it easy for newbies so they don't have to attract attention by pulling out maps or playing with smartphones out on the street. A folded list of addresses and the information in our posts are all even a first time visitor needs to find their way between spots without looking like a lost mark.

Sometimes works this way. Sometimes not. Numbers can be 10 apart for buildings next door. If one happens to be a large building. But direction wise. Yep. If the numbers are going up. And you get to a higher number. Go back. Also. Odd numbers on one side of the street, even on the other.

Generally a block is around 100 meters. If doors are almost side by side the number will be 2 different. (as in the example above). But unless the buildings are very narrow some adjacent will be 4, 6, 8 or more apart.

Good idea to not pull out phones or maps etc. Stop at a restaurant or somewhere you can step inside to look at your desired address when you are at the right intersection. Then walk in the direction and on the side of the street. Odd or even numbers, going up or down. And take it from there.

No. You can get something resembling a massage at Energy, Tantra and maybe a few others. I suppose Jade Palace is still pretending to give massages as well.

Can anyone recommend a place that actually does offer reasonably therapeutic massage? If I had believed I would live this long I might have been a bit less adventurous. As it is a CMT usually can do wonders for my aches.

Do all the casas double as "massage parlors" as well?

There is an easier map solution. Keep a list of addresses you want to visit. Before you leave, spend some time on google maps and learn how street addresses are arranged. Calle = street and carrera = avenue more or less. Don't worry about north / south / east / west. Using the example of new life, (calle 56 #43-39) it is on calle 56 (streets are numbered in sequence so 56 is between 55 and 57), the #43 refers to carrera 43, the closest carrera to New Life, the #39 is your reference for how many doors from carrera 43. Once you get comfortable with that system you can find any street address by orienting yourself to any number you see on any building, as long as you know which street you are on. The same system is used in the borough of Queens in New York City by the way.

One type of encounter that usually goes wrong is a threesome. Most guys expect the typical porn 3 way, while most chicas treat it like a tag team wrestling match. It's seldom worth the effort.

However, I know a girl who only wants to do trios with me. Since she brings very low mileage friends along and will work with me to make it turn out right, I decided to accept.

Some problem with the metro almost messed things up, but I diverted them to a taxi and had them meet me at Motel Ibiza. It worked out great. They arrived about 3 minutes after me. I hopped in the front seat of their taxi and we pulled to the gate.

Something new at Ibiza, a security guard. Before we could enter, the guard first handed each girl a flyer about trafficking and checked their cedulas. Something to be aware of if you go there.

Once in the room, things started slowly. The lead girl is a seasoned veteran. Her friend was a wide eyed newbie. We just sat and chatted for 10 minutes while the jacuzzi was filling. Then, since they had both come directly from work, they headed for the shower, with me close behind.

They took some initiative and both began washing me, but I needed to prompt them to wash each other. This was accompanied by much giggling which turned into a water fight. By the time everyone finished rinsing the jacuzzi was full and we hopped in.

Water for the jacuzzis at Ibiza is controlled by the office. You need to call to have it turned on, then you adjust the temperature. When the water reaches a certain level it automatically shuts off. This is fine for 2 people. However, when you put in 3, it's going to overflow. Shut the water off when all the Jets are covered, then add water as needed.

In the jacuzzi I was able to set the tone, somewhat. Lead girl was rather boisterous, but her friend was doing everything right. Once she understood what I wanted she helped to rein the other one in.

Once on the bed things went well, except lead girl was still being playful instead of sensual. Still, it all worked out. There was plenty of interaction between the girls, plenty of attention to me and it ended up being an experience I'm happy with.

About the girls:

Lead girl is 25, 1 kid with handful and a half tits. She's put on a few pounds since I last saw her, but still has the curves. I'm not sure about the friend, but I believe 21 with no kids, barely a handful, but nicely shaped tits and about the same build. Big butts on both and both are all natural, minimal makeup types. Second girl kissed much better and did a better BBBJ, including underwater BLS and DT in the jacuzzi. She also rode better. Lead girl kept going into jackhammer mode. All BBBJ and all CFS. Everyone participated in DATY, but I didn't try for a girl-girl 69.

Gave 150 K to each and we spent about 2.5 hours.

Reading all these post about navigating to Casa's in El Centro either by Taxis or by walking makes me think someone should develop a specific Casa App for Medellin. Perhaps it already exists and it could easily function like Google Maps, and perhaps named Casa Maps Medellin. Somebody though would have to field test the App to confirm it worked properly, and I guess could stop by each Casa for a session while testing the App.

I am not a technical guy but I can tell you in Europe I type in a known venue on Goggle Maps and away I go by either foot or taxi. Should be able to do the same in Medellin I believe. Imagine strolling down a list of casa's in the App, hitting the one you want to go, and instantly having the route. The App could also display hours, etc. With information taken from the lists that already exist.

I'm from Brooklyn myself, and do plan on doing that. But on average, how common are taxi's in central? I can seriously factor in an extra 5 dollars between Casa's to get into a cab even if it will bring me a place that is 3 blocks away. That may seem like a huge waste but I certainly do not want to go walking through streets that I have never scene before, at least that's how it is back home where 3 blocks can be separated by scenes from The Walking Dead as WindAngel so vividly pointed out. Also with regards to getting lost, I rather roll the dice with a random taxi I find on the street than to linger around in a hood area trying to find my way out. Or there are zones that even taxis don't go?

There aren't any zones that you have any business going to where taxis won't go.

Study the map. If you taxi to New Life, Aiffe is practically in the same location, 1 block further north. Unless you plan on going after both places are closed, there's no problem walking between the 2 places. From Aiffe it's 2 blocks to Club Sexxy Amigas, again, not a problem to walk. On a good day that will give you 25-40 girls to choose from.

While taxis aren't hard to find, you'll spend more time flagging one down than it takes to walk.

Just one minor correction on the addresses. In your example #43 refers to the the lower numbered street that it's between, Carrera 43 and 44.39 refers to the number of meters away from Carrera 43. You don't need a tape measure. The last number just gives an indication of whether it's closer to Carrera 43 or 44.

In El Centro it's pretty straightforward. Streets are mostly straight. When you get into the hills, especially in new areas, things get confusing.

Also, it's worth noting that there are no street signs. Street names are located on plaques on a corner building at many intersections. Some are green, some are bronze. Examples attached. The sign below is the other name for the street.

Thanks for that information. Funny thing is the person I was doing the transaction with spoke English! I told her in both languages about the commission rate and showed the receipt. She looked dumbfounded, now I know why businesses would do that to get equal money. If it was just a dinner bill I wouldn't mind, the fact that it was a 2 million+ transaction felt like I was conned. Anyways, the good thing I met a Venezuelan from SA and she gave me everything I could have asked for. BB everything with CIM and swallow. Spent the night and gave her 200 mil plus taxi. Made me forget about any damn fees real quick LOL.

That's because most of the businesses in Colombia use credit card processors that give the option for the business to charge in US dollars (for US credit cards). If the business charges in US dollars, then the credit card processor charges a 3.5% commission. Then I assume the business doesn't get charged the normal 3% for the credit card use.

What happens is after the business presses the "send" button, the credit card processing machine will receive an option to charge either in US dollars or Colombian pesos. But those fuckers have US dollar as the "1" button and COP as the "2" button. US dollar is kind of set to default. Many servers will hit "1" or "next" without looking at the screen. Sometimes, the the machine will ask, how many payments; most people choose 1; this is why some of the servers press "1" without looking. I assume some of the small businesses encourage their employees to charge in US dollars to save money.

But most of the time, I believe the employee is just ignorant. Even after I tell them to charge me in COP, they sometimes press "1" and charge me in US dollar; then the idiot insist they charged me in COP. Hard to argue with stupidity.

To avoid the 3.5% rip-off, you need to tell them to charge you in COP. Even then, they sometimes don't understand how it works. You sometimes have to slowly tell and SHOW them to hit the "2" button.

I'm a little confused about being charged this 3. 5% commission rate when I recently used my Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card that charges 0% foreign transaction. I've used this card many times over the years in Colombia. Only on a rare occasion I see this 3. 5% commission rate on the purchase and I made sure the transaction was in pesos. Both times this happened it was in a restaurant. Now, just recently this happened again while I was paying for an apartment rental which takes credit card transactions. This being over 2 million peso transaction, the 3. 5% fee is a stinger. I said wtf, but the lady ensured she put pesos and not American dollars. Can someone, anyone clarify this for me? Thanks!

Taxis are everywhere and will go anywhere you want in El Centro and all of them are metered with a minimum fare of 5,500 Pesos or less than $ 2 USD.

Vika has a nice car and was dressed fetchingly in jeans and a bodysuit. The police check didn't rattle her in the least. Once back in the car she gave me a deep kiss before putting it in gear. Before we reached the tool booth her ample tits were out and in my hands. They returned to the playground after the toll and remained out until we pulled up to a Davivienda ATM.

After tucking myself back in and zipping up my pants (yes I did enjoy the ride), I was surprised to find the ATM allowed up to 2 million per transaction, with no fee. Back to the car and we were off to Motel Ibiza...


To be continued.

Thanks for the details in your report. Good to know about the ATM's not having fees and what the airport rate is! I have a feeling I will go through the same thing as you while there. My mind will want 2 girls a day but my body will only be able to take on 1 haha.

What made him stupid? Was he standing in the street counting his cash?

My guess is he decided giving the robber what he wanted wasn't a good idea. Which may have well been the nice expensive smart phone he was walking around staring at.
