Posts: 151Another America hater. Americans are always the ones causing the problems, right? Imperialists? Give me a break.
Plan Colombia was a Colombian initiative. USA has pumped billions into Colombia to fight the FARC and the narco traffickers. Much of that money has also gone into infrastructure and human development.
I do think the free trade agreement will ultimately be beneficial to Colombia but there will be a lot of internal displacement as a result. One of the reasons the Colombian economy has been growing a such a rapid rate is that the country has extensive free trade agreements with the EU, China and other Latin American counties.

The Colombians didn't ratify the treaty, so the USA supported a pro USA revolution in Panama, and the result was an "independent" Panama and USA control over the canal.
The USA imperialistic attitude toward Colombia (and every other country) continues. Plan Colombia is highly unpopular among Colombians and has resulted in all kind of chaos in Colombia. Let's face it. In common parlance, the USA is a bully and that is not a paradigm for friendly relations based on mutual interest and respect. The Colombia Free Trade Agreement has yet to play out, but it will decimate the small Colombian farmer. It still perplexes me that such a beautiful country, with some of the most beautiful and sensual women in the world, has always existed in a vortex of violence and insecurity. To enjoy and appreciate Colombia, one has to learn a bit about the countries' history and as Ricker always advises, learn some Spanish.

I visited Medellin in September. I played in Chica punto com, Energy, New life. It was fun. Although I think I'll visit again at the end of the year, do you go home Everyone girls?

Posts: 10Sorry if this has been asked before, but are there any Casas in or near by El Poblado? I have looked at the Medellin list and the handy google map, but they seem clustered around El Centro. There should be some decent places in El Poblao right?
Thanks!

Posts: 250I'm all about positive energy.
Maybe the wording of my previous post was confusing.
"Back home". Beggars tend to ask for money with nothing in exchange. I tried to clarify that by making the cutting reference about teaching kids to stand in front of supermarkets and praised girls scouts for cutely ripping us off with their over priced over packaged snacks.
In Medellin, it has been my experience, most people on the street want to make some kind of exchange with you for money. Respect.
However, the recent events in El Centro have occurred in part because it is already dangerous.
I'm no social analyst or economist. I will try to be concise, since admittedly, these are the opinions of a layman. Maintaining the status quo doesn't seem like a good solution. Yet, making a change is going to cause some grief. It is simply impossible to make everyone happy. Fact is, its a designated business environment. Regardless of whether or not someone is there just trying to survive. Public drug use, urination, defecation and peddling in the streets intimidates others from peacefully going about their business and from simply getting from point A to B. If I ruled the world there would be only one law. If what you are doing purposely, directly, negatively and unwillingly impacts another within a 5 yard radius, you can't do it. Obviously that was facetious. Point is something should be done for the improvement, development, enhancement and safety of Medellin as a whole. My compassion is immense. I love Medellin.
My feelings aside, I've spoken to a few people who live there and those few have all played the recent events down. I know this a monger forum but hopefully we will continue to receive front line updates since this topic undoubtedly impacts the environment as a whole.

Posts: 3359The terms First, Second, and Third Worlds are obsolete and have been for quite some time. No one really agreed on who was where and what it meant. Colombia is a "developing country." First, Second, and Third were rather ethnocentric terms which, given the often jingoistic nature of the more developed countries' foreign policy toward them, weren't too popular in places like Colombia. A good example of jingoistic US policy towards Colombia would be the Hay-Herráand Treaty of 1903. This comprises the root of the instinctive dislike that many Colombians have for the US.
A lot of what some call the Third World would have been the First World if the Spaniards hadn't come in and fucked them all up with bullionism. The Mexica and the Inca were much more developed than those who invaded them.

Posts: 114The Scholarship Method.
It has occured to me that almost every girl seem to lack money, due to genrally low wages, unemployment etc. This makes it hard to distinguish the good one from the barracudas. But if one follow a plan, a strategy, this can minimiza loss of time and money.
We need advice from you Legal Tender. You have found a method that works, while many of us still fumble in the Darkness Of Cultural Misconception.

Posts: 224Jinxx Is a Fantastic Wingman! Thanks
I just had 3 of my buddies in and I could not be a tour guide since so I sent them over to "Jinxx". Jinxx speaks perfect Spanish and English perfect since my buddies that came speak about 5% Spanish at best.
For a pretty good fee he took them around to all the casas. Strip clubs etc. Not to mention the Pablo Escobar Tour.
My buddies were VERY pleased and satisfied to have this wingman that is American Latino that could show them around. He introduced them to local "ladies" that he knows and I think you can figure out the rest. LOL.
Just wanted to put this post up for my buddies since they have no clue or members of ISG,

I hit the casas 4 times.
Was with 3 chicas total, with one repeat.
Hit the jackpot with one of them, and it wasn't even the repeat one, though she was great.
The jackpot was in an obscure casa, new I believe.
When she presented I nearly fell off the sofa there.
Beautiful girl, great chemestry, fun sex.
Didn't repeat with her, because I got her number and went from there.
Going back to see her at the end of the month.
This may have actually been the most fun trip I've had to Medellin, and I've been there mucho.
From casas, to clubs, to Mansion chicas to Mayo, to non pros, I didn't have one dud chica, not once.
One Mansion chica even came to see me, she wanted taxi money only, of course she's become a friend over the past year or so.
My Mayo favorita came over and spent my last night with me after I tired of the non pro drama, and she helped me pack and stuff.
Also, believe it or not, with another Mayo chica, I took her to one of the better motels around the corner from the strip.
Like a bobo, I unknowingly dropped my wallet on the floor before entering the bathroom.
I was carrying a couple beers, the room key and the TV control along with my wallet in my hands.
Anyway, after several minutes in the bathroom, I come out and this chica hands me my wallet, nothing missing, and I had about 200K in it.
I'm not usually that dumb to not take better care of my wallet, money, etc, but what a cool chica.
This trip was just like that. I had the mongering magic good energy the whole trip.
Great time.
Best advice, as always, learn spanish, as much as you can.
Don't over plan, just a general game plan, be nice and have fun!
Buenas noches amigos, back to Brazil pasado mañana.

On a happier note, I have a couple of new scholarship applicants in Medellin next week. One scholarship recipient, who claims she is a 19 year old virgin, keeps e-mailing me she wants to have sex. I wrote about her before, she the girl that rides from Medellin to Rio Negro every Sunday on her bike. She's is shape. I've been a womanizer all of my life, but I don't feel right about this. Anyone else understand that?
Only good energy,
