Medellin Reports

[Stykler]

One of the biggest PITAs about traveling with other people from the US is translating the distances and the temperature all the time. Look, I get that you can't speak another language because our educational system is shit and does not value it, but the metric system is fucking easy.

I hear you Mr Dickhead, I hear you big time.

[Dickhead]

This issue has always intrigued me. Surely the US is one of the last countries still using the old outdated Imperial system of measurements (I'm open to correction, no time to Google). I don't understand why they don't get with the rest of the world and change to metric. Sure it will be hard at first and expensive for an economy the size of the US, but I would look at this problem similar to pulling off a bandaid. Do it fast and hard, short term pain for long term gain.

I just don't understand the US sometimes, but that just could be me I suppose.

There was a time when the US tried to adopt metric, a few feeble efforts like speed limits in mph and kph, and they even taught in some schools for a very short time. I don't recall any attempts at Celsius. And yes, it's one of the last countries using SAE (Stupid American and English, I think it stands for), but I am in Guatemala now and they use pounds and gallons, but not feet and inches. Dunno why. I seem to remember that Perú uses gallons also.

One of the biggest PITAs about traveling with other people from the US is translating the distances and the temperature all the time. Look, I get that you can't speak another language because our educational system is shit and does not value it, but the metric system is fucking easy. Do you have twelve fingers and toes? No, unless you are Antonio Alfonseca. You have ten. And if water freezes at zero and boils at 100, can't you figure out 30 or 40? Oh, sorry, I forgot, you have no clue that water boils at 100 and freezes at zero. So in addition to helping you get laid because you can't learn another language, I have to tell you far five kilometers is. You know what? It is five thousand meters. That is how far it is and you owe me so many fucking beers more than you are buying me for translating. Your bus leaves at 17:00. Count it off on your metrically challenged fingers if you have to.

Guys,

Do yourself a favor, get a Colombian cupid membership, set up a profile and start communicating with girls on there 30 days before your planned arrival. Get yourself a whatsapp number to text with them. They will send you additional photos, videos. You can agree to services and terms all ahead time. Once you arrive, they will come to you and you will be very pleased. I have met quite a few girls in Medellin doing this. Never disappointed. Had so many lined up my last trip, I couldn't get to them all. They were all texting wanting to meet. Most of these were normal girls with jobs or they were students. I am trying to get back down there again after the first of the year. See some old friends and find some new ones. All will be done on Colopmbian Cupid. No need to have to rely on casa chicas or Parque Lleras street girls.

From your lips to gods ears, very well said. I too have done all of the above in medellin, including the high end clubs at 300 m a pop plus drinks and shit, some great and some just so-so.

Yep that is ironic that a casa hoe speaks and looks down on the SW, its like WTF do they think they do.

TTM.

[The Tall Man]

I think its hit or miss. My first night there was pouring rain, so I ended up texting 4 girls from photoprepagos and 1 of them responded and was at my place in about an hour, great service and attitude for 110 so I gave her 150. I do think I got lucky though and you are right about pre planning, but I also think its a numbers game, don't set your heart on one of them, choose 4 or 5 and one of them might be at your door.

The best part for me to learn was how many different types of hoes of different attitudes there were. The funniest thing I heard was a casa girl talking down on the Parque Lleras streetwalkers, she said there's a lot of putas out there. She was a sweetheart though but she definitely felt she was above the streetwalkers. Casa girls are hoes with jobs I guess. LOL. I met cokehead girls on the street that gave me a great time for the right price, more humble street girls who charged less and did more, I met cheap casa girls who were angelic sweethearts, and call girls that were very humble and sweet. I skipped the expensive Fase Dos experiences tho my friends went and said they were the most beautiful. I prefer sweet 7's over lame 10's. My future challenge will be finding a 10 that has the sweet attitude of a 7. My experiences were great overall I love it there and I will be back soon.

{Snip} That follows the pattern of the US system of measurement, temperature, weight, etc. , none of which make any sense either. {Snip}

I had trouble connecting with girls on Photoprepagos and Mileeroticos and never did meet anyone. The response times are slow. Usually you have to schedule several hours in advance. Two chicas I chatted with on Whatsapp were Luisa +57 321 4469718 and Emiliana +57 301 2261894. Luisa wanted 300000 per hour and Emiliana was in the 180000 range. So if you going to go this route you need to plan ahead. It is not a spur of the moment thing based on my limited experience.

Plus I had difficulty with a chica I met last trip. I could never pin her down and then she would message me at 2 AM.

Coke head. Try a bit older next time. I've learned to avoid party chicas because they are unreliable and often behave very erratically.

[Dickhead]

Day / month / year = logical since years are longer than months, which are longer than days. Perhaps year / month / day would be equally logical, but month / day / year makes no sense at all. That follows the pattern of the US system of measurement, temperature, weight, etc. , none of which make any sense either. The only thing the Yew Ess gets right is the floors. That is not the first floor. It might be the first ceiling, but it ain't the first floor.

[PaisaPorFavor]

I had better luck with agencies on there. They would send me pics of who was available at the time.

Stop posting full Telephone numbers.

What's the difference?

We put the Month first then the day then year. Most, if not all of Latin & S. America puts the Day first then the month then the year.

For July 4th of 2018, we would put 7-4-18.

For the same day, they would put 4-7-18. Both indicate July 4th, 2018.

You were supposed to use this format on your customs declaration 2 X when you entered the country, one for your birthday & one for the current date.

The CEDULAs have the Birth Day first, the birth Month second & this is where the confusion comes in. If you are confused, guess her youngest age & cull them out from there, or better yet, if you are confused, skip & get the next one.

I think the gringo brought an u n d e r a g e puta back to his apartment, her pimp showed up, they tried a blackmail scheme, the gringo resisted, and they aced him. The moral would be, look at the fucking cdula FIRST, and be sure you know the difference between what 1/12/99 means in the Yew Ess and what it means in LatAm, Europe, etc.

What's the difference?

[Dickhead]

What JB says about gringos being indiscreet is oh so true. What FL says about it's the latinos partying late and loud is also oh so true. What Mr. E says makes me want to steal his passport so he can't take that attitude on the road.

I will say that in over ten years of living in LatAm and Spain, I have never encountered puke in an elevator. Maybe I have just been lucky. Puke on the sidewalk, fairly often. But puke in an elevator? Never.

And I don't think that 'most' mongers are clueless, insensitive idiots. My experience is that most mongers are less clueless and insensitive than the average idiot tourist. They are more well traveled and have more incentive to stay out of trouble. Some mongers, especially rookie mongers and especially mongers from rude places like the northeast of the US, urban England (the absolute worst in my experience), tend to give other mongers a bad name.

And tend to get their throats slit or end up in prison. That is just Darwin for the most part.

[Combo]

I agree with your point of view. When I am in Medellin, I stay in an apartment building with all short-term renters. I have witnessed the all night parties. Surprisingly, it is usually Latinos having the parties. I've noticed more gringos with the mindset described above in bars and restaurants.

But there are also the self appointed social police who want to eliminate all prostitution. There is nothing we can do about them, just let them let off steam.

You always have those people to some extent. Some are upright women who want to cut mens' balls off. Some are hard core religious. Luckily in Colombia they haven't been able to override common sense yet. But they'll keep on trying.

[Knowledge]

You are correct on both counts.

It is their money and their vacation and it is customary for old Colombians to have young chicks.
