Medellin Reports

[Turgid]

As a side note, many people, locals, expats, and foreigners all say that colombian spanish it the easiest to listen to, speak, and learn from. There are many europeans and gringos that come to Colombia for that reason. Yes, their motivation is to learn spanish properly. And many of them are in Medellin.

Just my 2 centavos.

With my very rudimentary Spanish I've always found Argentinians easiest to understand.

I've heard there is a brothel and / or a night club in Rio Negro, but I've never been and don't know the hours. Perhaps you can ask a cab to take you somewhere close? They've been relatively honest and trustworthy in my opinion although I wouldn't drag my bags all over.

I've been to one in San Antonio, near Rio Negro.

Looked like a Wild West saloon.

Bunch of drunk young colombianos, and some scattered chicas about.

Don't know the name, but I'm sure a taxi will know it.

I don't have a lot pf bags. Only a small backpack.

Question: Which part of Colombia is great for mongering whilst being in close proximity to a beach?

Depends, if your into SW's and have good Spanish speaking skills head to Santa Marta. I had a great time there and it's a beach town with great seafood.

Hi,

I will have a short lay over in Medellin (midnight to 5).

Any ideas / suggestions for a short mongering adventure?

It can take up to an hour just to make it through customs / security and another hour to drive to Medellin. It might just barely be possible to fit in a quick trip to a nightclub like Fase Dos or whatever but you'll be seriously pressed for time. You're probably better off hooking up with a Facebook girl who lives in nearby Rio Negro.

Personally don't think it is enough time. 5 hours is pushing it with the distance to / from Medelln and passing through security again.

.

If you at Rionegra International your shit out of luck, in the wee hours of the morning maybe if your Ok with a skank in centro for a quick blow job but other than that not enough time period.

Next time plan your travel and stay at least a few days.

That's actually funny, Venezuelan spanish is known for being cut up and more difficult to understand.

I used to live in Caracas. Before the dick nose Chavez came to power.

I agree with you though, that lots of Venies in Colombia now are more educated than the average street Colombiana.

They may individually be easier to understand due to their education, however, Venezuelan spanish in general is harder to understand.

For me, it gets difficult when they don't pronounce the consonants. One on one its ok, but a group is impossible.

Then you have the ones that are all surgeried up that you can tell were not planning to be anyone's nanny!

One of the chicas I was talking about got her surgery early. She wanted bigger tits when her family gave her a graduation gift. I forget if it was for high school or college graduation. Her family was super pissed. That's when she found herself in Panama City with a penniless boyfriend or so the story goes.

Another thing I have noticed is that the Vz Spanish is easier to understand than the Colombian Spanish. Some of them are very well educated which can be refreshing compared to some of the Colombians.

I feel the opposite. Antioquian Spanish is a little bit different than the rest of Colombia with the voseo, yeismo as well as putting "pues" after practically every verb, but I believe it is agreed that the accent to be widely understood in the rest of Latin America. Medellin has a substantial industry of filming teevee commercials for the rest of latinoamerica for that reason.

I am getting deaf but, even when I could hear, I found it hard to understand Venezuelans because they shorten every word. Also, they "debuccalize" (take the sound out of the mouth and move it to the throat) consonants, e. g. , este become ehte. I've always had trouble with Spanish in Venezuela (esp Isla Margarita).
