Medellin Reports

[Member #4394]

You may want to reconsider.

I'll write up more about my progress later on

[SlamCity7777]

First let me say; good for you that you're not letting this first negative experience shade your trip. A lesser man would be constantly crying int his beer and would stop bitching about all of the drama. I commend you on that. That was a very negative experience! Good to see some people on this planet with good energy!

Second; 6 girls in the club? Let see! Hahhahha! Yeah man when I go (or used) go clubbing and would see the struggling back packer crews try to get in with dirty tee shirts, hair all ratty and flip flops I'd just laugh and laugh! You couldn't get into a nice club in NYC, South Beach, Chi-town, or LA dressed like so what make you think that will work for in the super shallow and image aware South America? The ones in the club struggling to pick up chicas with no Spanish skills are the best! There should be a TV show called "Clueless Backpacker Gringo x Club Fails" LOL!

Pics please of your Club Team! Did you session with all of them? If yes reviews and don't forget the PICS! Hahaha!

Third; You are correct and it's important to share bad reviews just as it is to share good ones. Sorry you got taken for about $1000, you still got 10 fingers and 10 toes so in the true game of life you lost nothing! Let's take a second to break this down. For everybody's benefit.

When I was in China a few years ago the group I was with wanted to go explore the parking lot as we waited for our transport. A Fucking Airport parking lot! What the fuck you think you going to see in a Chinese parking lot other than parking spaces and cars? Stupid gringos! Hahaahha! But seriously I can understand being fired up to get into the Party Scene of Colombia but we can all gain from your negative experience. This is text book fucking up in Colombia! Hahahaha! (not to dog pile on you bro but like I said above; we all can learn from this and we Need to be extra clear for all the old stupid gringos with reading comprehension and eye sight problems here on the boards heheheheh!)

The Big one is excitement trumped common sense. Be calm and aware of your situation is rule #1 on the road in any travel situation. The rest of your cluck ups: drinking too much, rolling solo your first night or rather first few hours, Rolling solo super late at night, coke is a hell of a drug! A fun one but it lends for stupidity in stupid situations (I assume the second girl brought the coke or I might have read the innuendo myself) , Having $800 cash on you for no good reason / no need for that much loot other than going to a Casino (you planning on 1000x Blow Jobs? 2 OZ of coke? 10,000 Viagras for the homies back in the states?) Pretty sure $800 is like 3 months wages for an average Colombian so everybody would test you for that much! Let's see. Oh yeah. Pussy greedy! You got pussy greedy!"I'm in Colombia with this PYT and she has a hot girlfriend that is down to make all my porn star fantasy come true for like $40! Fuck yeah!" They seen you coming for miles! You had a target on your chest and back! Target: Chinese (Asian Gringo) stinking like booze, broken Spanish, horny as fuck, pockets bulging with stacks of loot, and IMO the most stupid thing you did was rocking a Guccy watch! Why!

Fancy watches, gold chains, rings, jewelry, fancy shit. Leave that at home ya'll! Everybody leave all the usual "Look at me! Look at how Baller I am! Look at my VIP table in the Club!" at home! As a foreigner in any country you already stand out to begin with so there is no need to separate yourself further! This is equal to the Fattest, Slowest, Water Buffalo at the watering hole putting on lion attract perfume. You already a target do not make yourself out to be the best possible target! Hahahah! Cash, credit cards, passport and a Gucci watch that costs 5-8 months wages for a Colombian? Wow. Christmas come early! See what I"m saying? A gold chain and watch is a sure pay day! A girl might hope you have a few bucks but when the know they can take you for a few bucks and a clear as day bonus you going to get got!

It should also be mentioned that "Pussy Greedy" is a common factor in guys getting Got! From everything I've been told first hand and most of the stories here it is always when some gringo gets Pussy Greedy and has two or more girls in the mix that they get robbed. It's easier to pull a scam when you are in a team, safer for them too. If you need to have a 3 some do it with a girl that has good reviws or that you've taken a few times so you have a dynamic with her. You know. Use some common sense! Hahahah!

Thanks for the report bro! Hope you have some better ones to report back with and some pics! Holla!

OK. Straight to the point. It's been 2. 5 days since I was robbed on my first ever night in MDE. I'll tell the entire story in a bit. I've since moved on from that experience and have enjoyed my trip and going on my 3rd day and loving it! Took me a day to recover from the bad memories and it was pretty much my stupidity and lack of common sense (and typical hornyness) that I got me in the situation. I didn't really want to write this report because it's still fresh and don't want to relive that horrible experience, but I think if I can help at least one person from doing what I did, then it's worth it. So here it is:

I booked 8 days at the Mansion (Plaza 1) and my flight arrived late at night, around 11:45pm. I had airport pickup and cost me 70, 000 COP ($36 USD). It took about 35 mins to get to the Mansion, pretty much going down the mountains and got to see a decent view of the city from atop. I checked in and went down to the La Cueva and see if there were any girls or action, but being that it was already almost 1am, nothing much was going on. It's my first ever night at MDE, so I needed to get some action! So I took a taxi to La Isla and saw some hot chicas! Very beautiful girls dancing, chilling, and drinking...

[HelpRules]

Rice, you don't have to worry about us getting robbed like you. None of us would bring a Gucci watch to Fing Colombia, and most won't bring their iphone 5. You couldn't keep that watch home or at least leave the watch and phone at the mansion when before went out drinking. Also, why would you bring your whole wad of money out with you. 800.00 is a lot. Bring 200 and your CC. You must have absolutely zero common sense. I hate to ream you like this but you deserve it.

[Member #4353]

That's what he wanted to use.

Cheers.

Muchas thank you for the respuestas.

Salud.

I checked in and went down to the La Cueva and see if there were any girls or action, but being that it was already almost 1am, nothing much was going on. It's my first ever night at MDE, so I needed to get some action! So I took a taxi to La Isla and saw some hot chicas! Very beautiful girls dancing, chilling, and drinking. I'll say about 15-20 chicas. It's pretty much an upscale looking strip club for MDE standards, asked for some quotes. 240K for like 45 mins. No thanks. I'm sure I could negotiate, but didn't feel like it and I just wanted to get couple drinks.

I wanted to check out another area: La Mayorista. I know. I've read a lot about this place and being out there late at night by myself can be tricky or outright dangerous, but I like to venture out and I'm always careful. Nothing much there that got my attention. Not many chicas and talked to a couple and got quoted 40K for 20 mins and I had to pay for hotel room on top. It was basically one long street with girls standing outside ready for service. Not really feeling it, so I decided to go check out what else is available.

Me and the taxi drove around and saw a few SG's. I got one for 40K and asked for BBBJ and she was down. Got to a nearby upscale hotel and got a room for 25K. Everything was going well. She has nice DD's, but a little on the thick side. She asked if her cousin could come and have a 3some and bring some sugar for 30K. I hesitated, but being my first night. I had no sense of self control, so I obliged. Her cousin comes and brings the stuff and we enjoy ourselves. Got BBBJ from both of them.

Things went downhill from there. I drank quite a bit in the airplane, I'll say about equivalent to 5 shots and 2 more drinks at La Isla. Then I bought a small rum bottle for the hotel room, so the alcohol was kicking in for sure. All for the wrong reasons. I have a pretty good tolerance, so I wasn't drunk, but was caught up in the moment. So after the 2 got down on me. And I'm just on cloud 9. Then suddenly, the original is nowhere to be seen. The cousin says she'll be back. Then the cousin says she has to go and I was WTF? She told me to wait for the original girl. So I wait. Then the security guard asked me if it's ok to let her leave. I say, ok. Then I go check my pants (should've done that earlier) and nothing seem missing, but my watch (gucci). Stupid that I took it off in the first place, I thought I must of misplaced it, so I look around and nowhere to be found. I check my wallet and there were some cash there, but way less than what I had before.

They took about $800 worth of US & Colombian money. I rarely have that much cash on me, but I took the money out of the airport ATM and just was in a hurry to leave after I checked in and didn't put most of it in my safe. And that's not the worst of it. My iPhone 5 was stolen. That really was the boiling point. It was my life and even though I'll get a new one with insurance, I was going to use it for taking nice pics / videos. Effing sucks! So I'm just mad at myself because I should've known before and I'm not an amateur monger, but just too over anxious on my first MDE night. No need to feel bad about me. Besides that night, each day / night has been super!

I won't let this experience ruin the rest of my trip. If you ask me, would I still go to MDE if I knew this would happen? I'll say, except for my iphone being stolen, yes! No doubt! Everything that was taken is replaceable.

To let you guys know that I've moved on, last night, took 3 mansion girls and 3 of their friends to a club. Bought a bottle of guaro for 94K and it was enough for a 4 hr dance fest. 90% Colombian / Latino music and 10% American. Lots of super hot babes in that place (F. Ridiculously hot and just the way these girls dress. Unbelievable! One guy with 6 chicas got a lot of attention, but fine by me! Saw a few young gringos trying to game the club girls. Glad I don't need to do that! Almost everyone were in the 18-25 range and I look under 30, so I don't have the old gringo look about me. I'll write up more about my progress later on and I'm sure I missed lots of other details, but for now, back to more fun!

A restaurant serving ceviche of Mackerel (sierra) , please let me know the name and location. Thanks a lot. Ps. I did not post on the food thread since it has been inactive for years.

If you are on C R T, look for a forum called COLOMBIA: Dining Experiences in Greater Medellin. Or send a guy named BlueDevil a PM over there. He would know for sure.

Could someone give a a quick run down on the best hotel to stay at which is girl friendly and in the action? I have read about the Mansion or Liquid lounge? Are these similar to the veneto in Panama? I have read the forum and it seems to be all around the Medellin plaza but any additional info would be appreciated.

One question why are you mixing English with Spanish on your report?

That's what he wanted to use.
Cheers.

I was able to find vacancies at Hotel Marco Delcias in Itagui, however caja fuerte is only available in reception area. Is anyone familiar with this place and would like to comment on the procedures and prices regarding the working girls in and around the surrounding bars.

I believe that is the hotel above the casino Piruaga or something like that at the corner in Mayo. They were expanding that hotel to add more floors, and hence, more rooms, and should be done real soon. Read posts regarding La Mayorista and you should be ok. Generally, 30K COP for 30 mins, one pop, for one chica there. You pay more for BBBJ and anything else extra. Late at night, price drops to 20K or 25K COP. It is safe in that area. Just do not wonder around more than 3 blocks from that hotel.
Cheers.

Difficulty finding habitacion starting August 7th because of Feria de Flores. I was able to find vacancies at Hotel Marco Delcias in Itagui, however caja fuerte is only available in reception area. Is anyone familiar with this place and would like to comment on the procedures and prices regarding the working girls in and around the surrounding bars. I paid a visit to New Life and had a session with 22 year old Sarah. She required a 20, 000 propina to perform BBBJ. I find the camas to be filthy in these casas. I am presently using a computer in the Hotel Egina. Does anyone know the location of any Medellin internet cafes and also the location of the Alegre Casino.

Muchas Gracias

The Alegre Casino is located in the Premium Plaza Mall on Ave. Poblado. Here is the complet address: Casino Allegre Centro comercial Premium Plaza, El Poblado Carrera 43A (Av. El Poblado) con calle 30. Third floor. One question why are you mixing English with Spanish on your report? Have fun and enjoy Mde!

Bro it's basic common sense, during the most busy time hotels, apts, B&B, ect all forms of lodgings will be getting MAX dollars! Wow a hotel in the Super Bowl Host city is more than usual? You're kidding me? Hahahah!

How did you not sort out your accommodations before your trip? Try Hotel Alemeda on 10A (maybe 10) it's across from the Exito in Poblado. Clean nice and good wi-fi on the lower floors. Casino Alegre is on the top floor of Premium Plaza.

As far as the pestering on the streets: It's not a biggie, usually I get it from the girls and I just ignore or smile and tell them I don't have and they bend their elbows pointing to it and giving me a frown (cultural for describing one as a hard person)

The bending of the elbow and pointing to it or hitting it with the palm of your hand signifies "tacaño" which would translate into stingy or cheap.

[ZDavolos]

Presently in Medellin for the first time and not knowing anything about Feria de Flores. All the hotels listed on Booking. Com including dirt bag places are charging obnoxious rates. I need habitacion starting August 7th for one week. I found a place in Itagui called Hotel Marco Delicias. Is anyone familiar with this place and associated prices and procedures for the working girls hanging ln and around the bars. Would anyone know the location of any internet cafes and the Allegre Casino. I am presently staying at the Hotel Egina.

Muchas Gracias
