Medellin Reports

[TweedleD]

If the chica prices at the Mansion are 150,000 pesos and at the various casas less, would the overall prices be pretty comparable to those at SJO? Assuming prices at Del Ray, Key Largo and Sportsman can usually be negotiated down from $100 to about $70 to $80 and that the massage places around SJO are around $40, wouldn't these prices be comparable to Medellin?

If prices are comparable, I don't see why it's worth it to fly the extra distance to Medellin especially when there is so much more else to do in Costa Rica. Maybe I'm wrong ...

It's about fun factor, Every place has its pluses and minuses. You can save a lot of money doing locals in any USA City. For most of us Tijuana MX would be the cheapest. CR is fun but requires a short flight from the USA The Dominican Republic would probably be about the same cost if you like darker booty, Thailand and the Phillipines might cost you less when you're there but it's a longer and more expensive flight, Lima Peru has got some good things going for it.

All bars serving alcohol only will be closed this Saturday and Sunday including Liquid of course. I know it sucks, especially since it's Memorial Day Weekend and lots of Americans will be in Medellin. Friday will be a normal night.

[Hanshin Baka]

With the election this week, when do they stop selling alcohol, Friday through Sunday?

[Av8r]

Sorry about the confusion at Liquid. I wrote a bit more on the Liquid thread for those interested in more detail. This is the first I heard of the bartender not having change, and it is of course not acceptable. He won't be here much longer. We are already looking for a replacement. And yes, some of the chicas are working scams, and we are cracking down. Things are still chaotic with our new influx of chicas, and we are trying to weed out the good and bad (and ugly Remember, there is always an administrator, Larry on site who is bilingual, and he can straighten out these kind of problems. His number is 301 445 7734, or you can contact me at " elfotografo99@gmail.com. I move pretty fast when problems like this are brought to my attention.

Question?

Did you get your change?

So did they have any shows? I hate going to clubs and having to wait forever for them to get someone on stage. From AV8 R posts here and on Facebook, looks like they have a decent lineup of girls coming but if none of them want to go up on stage then isn't much of a strip club.

100 k for the room? She had to be bullchtting you. Even so, 200 k for her time plus wanted you to buy drinks. Not even close. Would have had to be super-duper magic ass.

I doubt she was bullshitting me as we had talked for about 30 minutes and I told her I had lived in Medellin for the 6 months in each the past 2 years, so she knew I was not a newbie to Medalo, but I did tell her I had only visited the lounge once before back last October.

I had to go into my small note reserve which I always carry in a separate place to get small notes. The point I was making was surely this upscale bar could visit bancolombia and get change to run their business. The same thing happened when I went back several hours later, no change for a 20 k note, even in a centro bar I can get change for a 3 k beer with a 20 k note from the waiter.

My buddy was ordering a drink and gave him a 50 mil, guy behind the bar says he doesn't have change so I told him to get one for me if that's the case which he did and was able to provide change. Guess I threw a monkey wrench in his plan. They were pretty busy that night since it was there Grand Opening.

Really too bad to hear such negative reviews. I was looking forward to going and partying at this club on my first visit to MDE.

It sounds based on previous posts that I have been following that its been a lot of hard work getting this club off the ground. Just to have thrown away over a few pesos by the bartender. Really stupid move. You figured the bartender of all people would work hard for their tips especially getting the gig at a club especially for foreigners. A lot of potential for a lot of good tip money. Just to pull the I don't have change trick? Really he was that stupid? Oh well. That bartender probably just caused a lot of USD and Euros to go elsewhere.

For those who have never been to Medellin and / or who lack common sense or the sixth sense to detect danger, here's an interesting article for those who like to explore the city. As the author of the article noted: "This arbitrary list should not be interpreted as a travel warning, but rather an invitation to explore the parts of the city not mentioned below.".

Truth is you won't be missing much by not going to the places in Flora Baker's article.

But do you really want this woman's sense of safety detriming where you should and shouln't go.

I'm very disappointed to hear about all this, the bartender was probably trying to score a 12 K tip by telling you that he had no change as that is the oldest trick in the book.

Yes you can date webcam models.

It takes a little money and time of course.

If the girl likes you there is a good chance she will date you.

Of course you must spend some money on her first, but that gives you and her a 100% review of the thought of sexpartner.

Many will not, but yes, since so many good looking girls prefers this work instead of being prepagos and they can choose their own date, yes.

Its the culture. Colombianas are open towards foreigners.

It is easier to date a Colombian webcam model than Russian girls from an dating site!

I strongely recommend Colombia for both having fun with prepagos and being serious.

But you need to loearn some Spanish, Colombians English skills are non-existent.

With some Spanish skills, many doors open up and cost of living and XXXX falls considerably.

Hello gents,

A few months ago I caught up with a friend that had run the Cali Mansion a few years ago. At that time it was similar to the original Medellin Mansion set up but never got off the ground. Anyway, even back then he had 4 girls working web cams in the upper maids quarters which I never had a chance to check out.

Before heading to Cali, I emailed my old friend and he was happy to hear from me and even picked me up at the airport. It also happened that my hotel in Cali was just around the corner of his business in Cali. So after few days later I stopped by the office and boy was I surprised. You see the whole building he was in was a webcam operation. A 24 hour operation that had about 80 girls doing the webcam thing in 3 shifts. The funny thing is that when I told him I was heading to Medellin the next week he said so was he to ink a contract with the Liquid Lounge for extending the webcam business there. I believe AV8 TR mentioned it in a couple of posts regarding Liquid...

For those $100 US I have got many Skype contacts with several very good looking Colombianas.

Latineuro may be a slow site, but its equal to Cupid medias sites in finding girls.

Avoid http://www.latamdate.com/lang/en/index.php.

I paid $100 US and chatted with girls that wrote in English, they couldn't answer me in Spanish. What a joke. Then you must pay $100 US for reding, sending mails tec. You will end up paying $1000 US, and still be dependent on the site for arrange a date etc. 100% rip-off.

www.amolatina.com

This site is also a scam. Expensive and ridiculous.

Thanks to Cubanuts advice I have found several female friends in Colombia.

The girls are real and you get their true email / Skype (phone I have yet not tried since I was communicating from Europe).

Thanks CubaMan.

CJS,

You base your entire decision that LatinEuro is a scam from 1 post that was made back in 2007? I'm not shilling for them but back when I first found them in 1994 it was mailing addresses and phone numbers they gave. I would think by now the contacts they give are now cell numbers and email.

Anyway it also is possible for you to Vania at Latin Euro directly to them (they give their address, email and phone number) if you have any questions or problems. And they also offer a live translator service with Mara to help. And quite frankly you can't really go wrong if you just try a few contacts...

They are advertising that they are now a strip club. I arrived 2300 hours Saturday May 17, total persons 20,8 chicas, 12 chicos... I gave the barman a 20 k note for a 8 k beer, he had said he had no change. Now this was not a centro bar giving the barman a 50 k note for a 3 k beer. Early Saturday a chicas facebook page showed a Liquid Lounge advertisement that on may 17 there was a show from 10 pm to 2 am. A beautiful young blonde spinner was doing the other national dance, the bump and grind, with a gringo. She walked past my table on her way to the bar, and stopped to say Hello, and asked my name, she stopped for 15 seconds, then continued on her way to the bar. She picked up her bag, and then reunited with the gringo and proceeded to go upstairs. As no show was happening I left to go to another bar in the area. Smitten by the hot flaquita I returned at 0100 am, and there she was. I invited her for a drink and asked her about the show, as nothing happening on stage. She said the dance was privado, which I took to understand was her and I upstairs. A couple of drinks later, she also asked me to buy one for her friend, who stayed for one drink with us. I asked her about going upstairs, the quote was 100 k for hour for the room, or 70 k for 30 minutes, plus 200 k for her. Because of the loud music and the separate prices I had her write down the figures so there would not be a misunderstanding. I thought 300 k a little high as I am not a 5 day holidayer blowing a wad in 5 days...as I am here for 2 months this trip. I declined as I had spent 3 hours with a semi-pro amiga earlier in the afternoon and as an older guy one a day is my maximum except in special cases of which this spinner would have been one but not for 300 k.

I'm very disappointed to hear about all this, the bartender was probably trying to score a 12 K tip by telling you that he had no change as that is the oldest trick in the book. I'm not a cheap charlie but I'm not paying those prices for a one hour session. I was planning to swing by Liquid on Saturday but I'm not going to bother now,100 k for the room, for one hour?
