Medellin Reports

[Almotu]

Rooms along the main drag - Calle 85 used to go for 12K for 30mins. (ie. Cielo Azul, La Amistad, Momentos) If you are staying in a hotel around the corner from the casino like Alcaravan, most girls will go with you without additional payment.

CS, Have you considered staying in El Centro? Or are you afraid!

Best place to meet ALL kinds of women. Best place for healthy home cooked meals. Great prices. And best of all, it leads to a healthy lifestyle of lots of walking around!

Good report

I took the Metro to the Parque Berrio Metro Stop tonight, and checked out the Conejitas Show Bar. There was no cover and a beer was 4, 000 pesos. Girls stripped nude and then went around asking for tips. I understand it's 50, 000 for a 30 minute session, but I did not have time.

The thing I like about Colombia is no one really bothers me. Despite the area downtown being a social wasteland, the street people don't seem to have too much experience singling out gringos for tip harassment. In Costa Rica the scum would come crawling out of the sewer to say, "hey one coin for me" in English. I was essentially invisible and ignored until met a friend and started speaking English.

A friend who is living in Medellin called me and we went for dinner. Best we could do in that section of town at night was a 24 hour chicken, fast food chain. Our conversation in English attracted some attention. Actually, this is the first time I had a conversation in English for four days. This area of town is nothing like Poblado.

I had inquired at the Nutibarra Hotel if they had a restaurant, and the answer was no. Then I walked around the corner and saw the big remodeling project and the outdoor cafe they are building.

Made it back to Mayorista before the last train, and pulled another girl, young flaca for 30, 000 pesos. Apparently the room does cost 20,000 pesos. I'll be moving out of Itaqui tomorrow, and staying Barrio Colombia. Too bad Liquid Lounge delayed their opening, because I picked a hotel close to it for the weekend. I plan to do more exploring downtown over the weekend.

Internet access at the hotel is constantly going down, but the tethered iPhone with the prepaid Tigo Chip is working great with 1.5 to 2.0 MB of bandwidth on the laptop. It's also great having Google Maps to pinpoint exact location on the phone when exploring the city.

Got a Claro prepaid 3G chip for my USB Datacard, but their network sucks for bandwidth. It includes a phone line and is interchangeable for a phone chip. Funny thing is the manager at the Claro store admitted the Internet service was poor before she sold it to me. I am going to stick with Tigo. I think the Claro 4G chips are not available yet, or maybe just not for prepaid accounts.

But you have to consider the air quality in el centro. Don't you think? When are you going back to Medellin?

Cheers.

Thanks for sharing your report. Are you saying that you are trying to be closer to the night life in El Centro (by moving to Poblado)? Or will you be looking to hit non-pro spots in Poblado?

I want to be able to hit the non-pro spots in Poblado. I plan to be here for several weeks, so am hoping to work it a bit and share my results here. The truth is where I am staying in Itagui (mayorista) is just 4 blocks from the Ayura metro station. It's a good deal easier to walk to the metro at Ayura than in Poblado, which is maybe double the distance or more with some really busy streets in terms of traffic.

The upshot is that if you stay in Poblado, I think you are really confined to that area unless you want to spend some serious money on taxi fare. It's fine for a short visit, but I would not want to spend several months there. Basically, Poblado is good for the regular nightlife and is not too far by taxi from most of the hooker night clubs. However, on the second point the same can be said about El Centro and Barrio Colombia. Both of which have some hotels close to metro stops and priced better than Poblado.

Since, I'm not that up on the wireless technology, I was wondering if this phone could be used in other countries? Ideally, it would be nice to have a smartphone that could be used in multiple locations, and just switch the card. I keep acquiring shit ones, and leaving them wherever I go.

I got an activated Tigo line for 4, 000 pesos at a local store in Poblado. I put a small amount of funds on it and have used the 3G Internet on my iPhone (old 3GS so no 4G) all day for 1, 500 pesos. Bandwidth is about 2MB and I am using it to provide Internet access for my laptop. I also really like using Google Maps so I can see where I am at all times in Medellin. It's been helpful for riding the Metro and getting around in taxis...[/QUOTE]My suggestion is the unblocked Samba from LG. Purchased from Best Buy.

Earlier this year, I was in Mexico City and San Salvador. The phone worked perfectly with Claro and Movistar SIM cards.

Before coming back to Mayorista, I went into Poblado to get dinner. I ended up eating at the overpriced taco place on Parque Lleras. The asshole even informed me in English the tip was not included with the bill. Now, last night I went to the nice steak place and had a delightful steak wrapped in bacon. The service was excellent and I left a tip. However, I am not tipping at some stinking taco stand, least of all when I get solicited for a tip in freaking English.

Maybe the guy was an asshole but he wasn't an asshole for telling you that the tip is not included in the bill. It is common practice for the waiter to ask you two questions in the El Poblado area. Are you paying with cash or credit card and whether the tip is included in the bill. I always pay cash (efectivo) and have the tip not included in the bill (no propina en la cuenta).

I've been to Medellin a few times, but I've never been to anywhere interesting.

I'm staying in Poblado with a few people who would not be interested in this sort of stuff.

So can anyone recommend places nearby where I could disappear for only a short amount of time? I can find time day or evening, but I don't want to go all the way downtown, or to a bar that would then require leaving.

Something not too time consuming. Thanks.

Have you checked out Loutron before? IMO, there is no other spot that comes close to having as attractive girls. I've always had a great time there, but I'm definitely in the minority.

No sir, you are correct about having a nice time there and that place having pretty girls but it's the "value" that most guys have issue with. In Mayorista $50K gets you an hours, $150K at the Mansion gets you several hours, $150-$200K gets you an hour at most every casa down the hill. At Loutron it's $240 (haven't been in years so it could be more or less) for what usually is a one pop, mechanical, non GFE type experience. As reported by many members for years.

There are just better values out there. Just saying.

I'm glad to hear somebody else say this. Two and a half years ago I was excoriated by Mr. Gogo for refusing to buy drinks I didn't want in Medellin's clubs. I walked out of San Diego Grill when that demand was made rather than buy the drink. The entry fee at Fase II didn't bother me. I've been to San Diego Grill once since then and was there long enough to get a good look at the girls present and didn't see one I thought attractive. I have the same opinion as you of Luna Lunera. So far the only places I've had any luck finding attractive women in Medellin, at least among "damas de companera", have been Fase II and Abydos, and even at those two places it was only a minority of the time.

Sir, I don't think it's much to ask of a person to buy a 5usd dollar beer in order to enjoy the festivities. Those festivities include 20 women walking around naked and dancing naked, making themselves available to satisfy your sexual requests at a house price. They have a dj that plays music that needs to be paid. They have security that needs to be paid. When I was there, San Diego offered free snacks of peanuts and popcorn. If you were the owner would you allow people to come into your establishment and sit all night for free? Answer that question if you can.

San Diego was always the last stop on my nightly circuit. I would hit La Mayorista about 10pm. Then hit Luna Luneras about 11pm, with the next stop at 33 calle, where it's 3 strip clubs in a row. My goal is not to fuck but to hangout and get some numbers for a possible "Afternoon delight" before they work the next day. As I watch the girl perform at her club, she is secretly auditioning for me.

Then I fall into San Diego at 2am. I pay about 25 dollars for a bottle of rum and Coca Cola. I share with the girls that hang out before and after they dance. One trick I do is to put my chewing gum in the shot glass. This makes the girls go get their own shot glass and not drink out of mine, just don't know where their lips had just been LOL.

I still stand by my opinion, that only cheap dudes take the same bottle of water from club to club and balk at least buying another bottle of water.

So, I decided it was not worth staying out past the Metro operating hours on a Wednesday night. Last train south from Poblado leaves at 11:07pm. I am moving to a hotel in Poblado after the Festival de Flores, so I can explore the night life then without an expensive taxi ride every night. Five trips on the Metro cost 9, 000 pesos. The taxi from Parque Lleras to the Poblado station is 3, 000 to 4, 000 pesos. It's about a 15 minute walk. The walk from the metro is shorter to Mayorista from the Ayura station.

I made another pass tonight through Mayorista and found a hot Colombian who was a lot of fun. She charged 25,000 pesos for an un-rushed half hour and I paid 25, 500 pesos total for the room and two beers. She agreed to the 25,000 peso rate before I bought the beer. They try to get the drink when you pay for the door. So, I am still not sure how much the room costs. I went to the same place as last time, the Cielo Azul.

This one was plenty of fun and was careful with the condom. I talked to her at length and she warmed up the more we chatted.

I'll take the advice of everyone and be more careful about going raw. However, I have a bad feeling these Colombians are going to lead me down the path of temptation.

Also, while in the park some guy handed me a card for Fase II.

I checked out a club called, Blue on Calle 10. It's not a working girl house, but a pickup bar. I learned that nothing really happens before 10pm in these palces, but tonight there was a free comody show. I stayed for a half hour and enjoyed the show. I was about to go to B-Lounge for the Wednesday ladies night when I was turned away at 9:50pm. Again, I learned that the party gets started late.

Thanks for the report. I was also unimpressed with luna lunera and la isla last time. San diego is now trying to compete in that market and probably doing OK since fase dos is a little shittier than it was. The thing I hate about san diego is their hounding you to buy a bottle, no matter where you sit, even if you're one person and you do not drink. That is extremely fucking annoying.

The chance is that you may meet a few girls there who would tell you that they would like to have, or don't mind having, your kid and encourage you to finish inside of her. This may happen after you repeat a same girl a few times.

I made a sperm donation to a lovely Colombiana in La Mayorista this evening. I paid her 40, 000 pesos and tipped her 20, 000. I can't remember if the room cost 20, 000 or 10, 000. Basically went went into the room and although she had the condom informed me she would to have vaginal intercourse without it. I can't remember the word she used for the condom.

Odd part is that I did not solicit the sans condom. She made it clear she wanted me to not use it. So, I proceeded to rail her and left behind a week's worth of sexual frustration. When we were finished, I asked if she had any children and she responded one.

I realize all of this is crazy. Condemn me if you must. Anyone have a similar experience in Colombia? I realize Mayorista is not the best area of town. Apart from my DNA, I did not leave behind any identifying information.

Also, the spot I found was a line of bars and cheap motels on Carrera 51, between Calle 85 and Calle 84A. At noon there was just one or two girls in one hotel, and by 8pm there were many more. I made my last pass at 11:30pm and the entire block was packed full of hookers, all kinds of sizes and shapes. They were wearing a sweet scent I like to call desperation.

So, my question is there another part of Mayorista, or is this block it. I saw a map some time ago, but I can not find anything anymore for Mayorista. If someone can give me a link, I do not mind checking them out and confirming the action.
