Medellin Reports

[Balimassage]

I am going back to Medellin this week. I just bought a new phone in US, slipped in my claro SIM, transferred all my data including whatsapp. I am unable to get the verification code for whatsapp here in US for the claro number. My regular recharged 10 mil pesos yesterday but that looks like it was data only recharge and no SMS. Is there an amount of recharge that can give messages and calls so I can get whatsapp verified here while on roaming. I think claro connects via Verizon here.

I don't think you can get roaming working. Going to have to wait till you land, or have someone get you a new SIM and activate it and send you the new code.

I see you got a new phone. Sorry the activation doesn't work. When I get a new iphone and migrate I haven't had a problem.

Why not just use your USA number? That way you are assured of keeping your number forever so your contacts can find you later (haha or is that what you're avoiding? If you'd still like a local whatsapp, you can get Whatsapp Business and add a colombian number there and then you'll have 2 accounts. I use the second one for local numbers as needed.

Just landed and took a quick stroll. All I have to say is wow! Thank you to everyone that contributes to this forum. I feel like I have learned a lot. I feel like I am prepared to hit the ground LOL. Wish me luck!

Good luck buddy. I will be making my trip to Medellin for the first time and can't wait.

There should be a Medellin arguments thread because that's literally 80% of the posts here. While you dudes have fun spamming each other, you realize it makes it more difficult for people to find the information they need. I posted information about a scammer just two days ago. A chica with 2. 3 k friends who probably is on a few peoples' friends list, but instead that's now buried a few pages deep because of random shit no one cares about. Can you people start a discord or subreddit or something?

I notice a clear pattern, when dudes are in between trips and back home that's when they come here to argue LMAO. Then all smiles again and happy posts when in Col. We can blame this I guess on the though and sex-deprived life back home LOL. I mean there are lots of good shows on Netflix right now to reduce frustration LOL.

(To the El JeFe / Admin of this board, most of my posts are sarcasm and not all to be taken seriously. Allow some humor among all of this sweaty sausage fest seriousness please LOL).

No there shouldn't! . For those too young to notice, just a little Monty Python joke there.

Does anyone have any experience at the Cinnamon Apartments? I'm looking at an Airbnb over there, and it says guest friendly. But I went to be certain there isn't a limit or number per day without a big fee.

I'm with you. I honestly don't care what anyone else pays and I don't much care what anyone does within reason.

On a good and positive note on Medellin is that the city is very large, so it will never become Sosua or Cartagena w these so called Weekend warriors I read so much about lately. Why the worry? Let those who want to spend their money spend their money, let them have Parque Llera, Gusto, Etc. Also most folks here or comments on this are so exaggerating on the issue.

We all know the real Medellin is in Laureles, Centro, the casas, the apartments, all spread out and most of the fake ballers we speak of have zero skills or too lazy to navigate those for the most part.

Then let's not forget the most beautiful women in Colombia IMO come from Pereira, Risaralda. If you use SA you know what I mean and the fake ballers know nothing of sorts.

The New Yorkers have increased prices and attitudes in Sosua while performance has dropped and the time allowed has dropped. Angeles City PH has gone from bars that had girls on stage naked, to bikini, to now many wearing full dresses thanks to the week end type S. Koreans because they have cheap short flights from their country. The number of girly bars has dropped 40% in 20 years. Globalization is making the Western World poorer by the day while other countries are rapidly becoming rich. Fifty years ago S. Korea was a third world country but is now 1st world. Many of these guys visited the Philippines back in the day when India, China, and S. Korea had no money and thus their citizens could not travel and were never seen. Now they are all over the Philippines and Thailand and expanding to other countries. Many countries are becoming richer so there is less need for women to offer themselves to us. So demand is greater than what is available. I wish I could hear you talk 25 years from now. Why? That is because in 20 years mongering will be 2-3 times worse for you than it is for us with less girls and more guy competition. In the long run I feel sorry for you. The comments are not exaggerated. You just are not old enough or have enough experience on what to look for to notice and unable to connect the dots. You and so many others are clueless. You think the older guys here are mad about higher prices? How do you think the Colombian men feel when they hear these outrageous prices? They get mad at foreigners and in the future I predict some of them to start taking their frustrations out on all of us. You and others need to look at the bigger picture. Did you ever consider the Colombian men's situation related to higher prices? No you and many others do not. It is all about "ME ME ME". Yes the locals are not getting charged the same price but a higher price non the less. How do you think the Colombian guy feels like when he is turned down because she is waiting for a foreigner and 5 minutes later she goes with a foreigner.

In technical professions like aviation, medicine, and information technology the concept of bias confirmation is a tool to help prevent practitioners overlooking or misinterpreting objective facts to avoid undesirable and unexpected outcomes. Bias confirmation involves ignoring or misinterpreting data that contradict conscious or unconscious bias. Using aviation as an example, pilots receive continuous bias confirmation training because their work involves split second life or death decisions. Bias confirmation has been found to be a recurring cause of disastrous air accidents, including collisions with mountains and aircraft dropping from the sky after they run out of fuel. Some of the bias confirmation I've seen at play on this website is the idea that Centro girls are never present in Parque Lleras (this despite first hand accounts and youtube evidence to the contrary) and more recently the weekend warrior driven market trends. The weekend warrior inflation thing is a not a serious matter. The bias that girls from certain sources are more or less prone to slip us a mickey is a serious matter. It's the sort of thing that can lead to disaster because if we aren't aware of it bias confirmation can cause us to drop our guard and ignore danger signals.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest I will repeat my disingenuous concession that weekend warriors are the root of all cost increases.

How is that connected to the weekend warriors? You were paying the going rate, with maybe a bit of a discount when she was in Santa Fe and El Centro. When she started working Poblado she was in a place where the going rate starts at 200 k for 1 hour, extra for BB. Why would she work 2 hours for 200 k BB when she could easily upsell that to 500 k or more?

She changed venues. The rates are higher at the new venue. If you had first met her at Conejitas several years ago for 60-80 k, would you be blaming the ballers because she now gets 300 k when working at La Isla?

I think every part of what you wrote is correct. I also think there is no longer any logical reason to run the risk now that there are all sorts of easy methods to store that kind of content off devices you carry across borders.

See, you can def lose your job or spouse for this type of shit, even if you don't get prosecuted. Plus the embarrassment by being exposed on TV and you know it ain't going away anytime soon if ever.

Plus you'll be flagged in almost all airports. Not worth it having stupid content like that on your phone.
