Medellin Reports

[Q Bert]

Qbert,This is right on, I have had the same experience with this scenario. I have a Luxury Aprt. in Poblado for rent by the week. So dont stay at a B n B stay at your own place.

I have been living here for a while now and have learned so much. I just wanted to pass on this information after I thought about it one night. I know this person gets a lot of gringos passing through his place and hate to see this happen to anyone else. There is a right way to do business and this ain't it.

[Q Bert]

If you are trying to open a business in MDE and you speak broken Spanish, I hope you have a lot of Vaseline. The lawyer will be the least of your problems.

Of course my Spanish is better now but business is business. I did fine besides this one major mistake so I just wanted to pass the info.

Having opened a business in Medellin and using a "recommended" lawyer from this board from other business owner(s), I'll say don't trust anyone because you've stayed at their establishment or they speak English, get drunk with you, etc.

I did this and found out that my lawyer was 8 times higher than the going rate. The quote from this business owner was something like (and I am paraphrasing)...."use this lawyer, he is good, speaks English, and doesn't charge gringo prices".

Certainly I can't prove it, but I imagine there was a kick-back to this business owner because the rumor is that he gets big kick-backs from everyone he recommends to his gringo customers. Some of this is certainly understood but out-right lies about the prices is a little suspect. I am not going to name names but if you need a lawyer ask around while you're in Medellin with your broken Spanish. You're likely to find a better lawyer than your trusted native English speaking B&B owner(s). They are not your friend, they're there to suck dry you like any other Colombian who sees a gringo.

This is great Wisslis - thanks for the great work. I live around the corner from New Life so could you add my place to the map? Just kidding.

If you could be so kind as to provide a link or email us the full, non scaled down digital version that would ROCK!

PS. you say the maps are available at Castillo and Mansion - physically there on paper or on their respective websites?

We print them out if a guess wants one. It is not on the website.

Went to NewLife a few days ago. Lots of girls to choose from. Their renovation of the downstairs is now complete. Huge hot water heater.

12 girls in the lineup. It was easy doing the "remember the name" thing and out of the 12 I only had to juggle 2 names. Kind of a disapointment.

I visited New Life last Thursday and again earlier today. On Thursday the place was busy, crawling with cute girls, I counted 3-4 (only 2 in the linup) that I'd consider very hot, but only 4-6 total were actually available at 2pm.

On Monday at 3pm, different story, out of 10-12 girls, only 1 was passably doable (not "very hot" to me).

lesson: Casas vary from day to day, week to week. Scope out your favorites but don't expect the same as you found there the last time.

Sessioned with Carolina. Cute, nice tits, no BBJ. Says it was her first day and it seemed like it. Very enthusiastic in the shower but she needs a little more overall experience. She was ready for round 2 almost immediately and we had plenty of time. The prices are up to 50K for the hour however I heard one guy behind me get charged 55K.

They have expanded and added a lot more girls.

Alejandra looked really tempting but for some reason I got the impression that she would be a pain so I passed - but she was the stunner of the rolly polly bunch.

It's all that holiday food.come may. June they are thinner.

[Malodr]

It went up to 50k. Still a great deal. I like the girls this place has. They like their work.

Wow, its ruined and I am done, LOL. I usually have the paisas come back to my room for 60,000 - 70,000 for a few hours. Works better for me.

[LuckyEddie]

OK - someone posted a page or two ago about some place having "great service". Too tired to find and quote.

I got the impression that the poster was referencing the girls - what else could he have been talking about?

I really don't think the casas screen the girls and select "great in the sack" providers - and also I think that good service is really up to and controlled by the girl and not the casa.

I believe when someone says one of these casa (all in the same price range of course) is better than another (in reference to the girls, not the hot water or cleanliness of the rooms, although important) that they just got lucky a few times with good girls at that particular casa.

I found a pretty hot DFK BBBJ girl who was really sensual and into it and not chubby (Rare these days) at a casa 3 months ago and I immediately thought "This is a great casa!".

Since then I have forgotten the casa and the chica's name. I'm an idiot.

My point is when you find a great provider hang on! (and post here... he he he)

The map is small due to the upload limitations of this site. The original is available at the Medellin Mansion and EL Castillo.

Now I have changed all errors.

[Jiooooo]

JMC it is, I hate small planes and I need about 3 transits before getting to Colombia so an additional one to ride a small plain is out of the questions.

Thanks again

[Kukulkan]

Pardon the silly question but it seems that there are 2 airports in Medellin, which one is the good one?

Jose Marie Cordova or

Enrique Olaya

Thank you.

Jose Maria Cordova is a International and local airport

Enrique olaya is only local.

My two pesos,

Kukulkan

[Escort King]

That is on 25 american dollars. You can't beat that price with a baseball bat.

I went there on my first trip and had a decent time with two chicas there.

Remember it well.
