Medellin Reports

[Markinno]

I will be in Medellin tomorrow for the fourth time. Can someone tell me if the airport cambio or the Oviedo mall cambio will change hundred dollar bills. I can't remember. If anyone wants to have a drink hit me up. I'll be at the mansion.

Yes, they will definitely accept $100 bills at both the airport cambio & also the Oviedo cambio. If you have a safe in your room I suggest that you convert a good bit of the cash at the airport cambio. I have had times when I ran low on money and the Oviedo cambio was closed by the time I got there.

Jealous people do crazy things the world over. I wish them and you all the luck in the world. I wish you my kind of success here.

End of story

Well you evaded the question, and rightfully so. Thanks for your well wishes. I have no desire to live in Colombia, nor do further business in Colombia or with colombians. But I will continue to travel there to fuck their women.

Lmfao is it that bad.

Might try to take some video of the experience.

I'm a trucker

I have learned patience to a certain extent

I've been riding a motorcycle here in Medellin for the past two years. You couldn't pay me to drive a car here though. Also, really no need for a car unless you want to drive someplace outside of Medellin. I would say Medellin is one of the easiest places to get around without a car.

Having read many of your posts over the years it appears your main and perhaps only reason for posting here is to hawk some cheap rental units.

Why should cursing-out other mongers in pursuit of that goal be allowed and why do you feel so entitled?

I told a true story of what happened to Geraldine's brother. You stereotyped all Colombians as liars, cheats, and people who welch on loans. Simply put go fuck yourself.

[Bbrocs]

With all due respect, re- read your paragraph before the account of Geraldine's brother where you stated " I know Colombians" then described a stereotypical scenario where a jealous, abusive, stalking Colombian waits outside of Liquid Lounge for his girlfriend. What does the statement "I know Colombians" mean? I'll await your response.

Good luck with Mayorista. I've never been but was told that it is no longer the hot spot since the made them remove the tables and chairs from the sidewalks. You'll have fun in El Centro though. Just take a taxi to and from everywhere after dark down there.

Do any of you guys go down during the rainy season? I forget if the street girls still hang out (outside) in the centro or not.

Also now that Mayorista is finished (?) where do you guys go at night besides centro and the few strip clubs mentioned?

Thanks

A upsidedown $ dead coke head and a couple businessmen with a lot a stake had or have useful things to say? They're all here Jake included for promotion and money. The rest of us readers don't have much going on and hang around forums because we have no friends or life so to speak. I know Jake is a part timer and doesn't promote as much as he should so as a buddy, from time to time I step up for him. Big Deal!

I saw jake twice recently with a client at Divino Cielo. The client was a older guy, to be honest I never seen someone look happier so Jake has to be doing something right. I live right over the bar sometimes, so when I came down the next night and walked by him and jake and two cuties were there. Again the guy was beaming. I have no financial anything to gain from jake so this is accurate. His client looked happy, I watched him while I was there the night before. Jake was attentive. No cell phone in hand. Helped him order dinner and took care of his client. I hate both girls and employees that over indulge in their phones on my time.

I Tried & tried to stay at the Mansion but they are All booked.

So I'm thinking of stayingatGran Hotel.

Just walking into casas.

& getting another room by La MayoristA.

Would of liked to take a tour with the mansion people.

Might try to contact them & see if its possible.

I will arrived Thursday night around 7pm.

Guessing I book in & try a strip joint & snatch something up.

Also need at least 2 good restaurants close by

Go to the "Medellin Lists" thread and look for the Chica List posted by WorldTravel69 (I think the last one was posted sometime in Feburary this year). It has the list of all the casas, strip clubs, and recommended taxi drivers and guides (some who speak English) with the prices and locations.

Yeah man, this ain't the DR, LOL. Medellin is not as car rental / driver friendly as the DR. But I get where you were coming from because a lot of guys I know rent a car from SDQ and drive all over the island.

Are you going to stay at the Mansion?

Now don't be painting Colombians in such a bad light. I only accused them of being liars and cheats, and you busted my chops. Now here you are accusing them of being jealous, stalking, women abusers and murderers. LMAO!

yeah, i like to mix in outdoor water stuff, like surfing, windsurfing, or diving, which is why i like places like cr, thailand, and cabos. i can fill entire days with that stuff. if its a city, like mde, then i have to look a little closer as to what's there and what's nearby. after researching mde, the only thing that i was interested in was the pablo escobar tour. the southern coffee regions also sounds great, but it's over 5 hours away. that's too far. hobbying can be fun, but not to the exclusion of anything else fun in the downtime.

mde sounds like one of those cities that are beautiful and great to live in, but not necessarily great to visit.

i would say this is accurate. i generally can keep myself occupied there for up to a week. but if you're that into [CodeWord117], a week might bore you. i also agree with artyst's opinion of mde having a small town feel. i think there are 3 or 4 million people in the metro area, but it doesn't feel like a big city at all. completely different vibe than buenos aires, rio, or lima.

someone mentioned salsa, but imo mde doesn't even have as good a salsa scene as most big cities in the us. cali otoh is very good for dancing, but it takes a while to get into the scene there.

[SavePros321]

Thank savePro 4 the advice.

Yes first time in MDE.

Did the Sosua-DR so it's time to venture out.

Thinking Colombia then maybe Dubai or Brazil next.

How much is the taxi average

If anyone going to be down there as well hit me up.

29 yr old.

Blk male.

Average built

Dreads.

Down for fun / crazy times.

Hope the chicks love dark meat down there too.

3 days may be too short. It sounds like you enjoy doing other things besides mongering. You can definitely keep busy for your first 1 week visit. Just come up with some kind of an itinerary of things you want to do. You can take spanish classes learn salsa dancing or just hit one tourist attraction a day.

MDE IMO in not a happy place for the most part. The city is a little better than being in Central America which is REALLY boring. The difference is MDE is more accessible due to the metro affordable taxis and general layout of the city. MDE is no Lima or Buenos Aires. It's a big fish but in a VERY small pond. No metropolitan vibe going on at all.

I'm taking it from your question that this will be your first time in Medellin, but yes, taxis are readily available everywhere. It is pretty much the prefered method of travel. Some people even take the bus.

I'm not sure how safe it is as a gringo to be driving around in Medellin.
