Medellin Reports

[World Jockey]

I would say generally most women are racist until they find out that you are are not broke.

Ask little Wayne and Aziz.

(I was tempted to Use Tiger Woods as an example, but felt that would be too easy)

I'm sure I've seen something along the lines of "Money is the world's greatest aphrodisiac" around here somewhere...

Although those women may have been attracted to dark men all along. However having money, power, fame. Will totally open up more legs than being without.

Nearly everything is shut down on Christmas, New years holidays, semana santa, and election day.

I personally have never been during this time, but anecdotally I understand it to be a not so great time to be mongering. People are with there family and friends during the holidays. I would look to book your trip pre or post holiday season to get the best potential lineups.

Gracias fellas. I guess a NYE trip is out unless I have a regular girl to hang with.

Don't take this the wrong way but westerns are not a valid reference for real life. After all, most of the native Americans and Mexicans are portrayed by Caucasian actors.

Many years ago I was in company with a bevy of Colombian chicas and one playfully called another a gringa. This 'gringa' was a caucasian Colombian. I have always been made to understand that a gringo is firstly a foreigner and secondly a white man. I have watched hundreds of westerns and in none did a Mexican ever call a black man a gringo. It is understood.

I was about to dispute this but then I thought for a moment about how many gringos I run into in Centro - - very very few. Fewer now than say five years ago. Judging from what I read on ISG the gringo experience is all about the special interest hotel in Poblado.

El Centro is a dangerous place for the obvious gringo (blond hair / blue eyes) especially after dark and is not user friendly for someone with no Spanish speaking skills. Most mongers stay away from El Centro which is fine with me as I am happy as well not seeing tourists or other obvious gringos there. There are lots of diamonds in the rough available there and is my favorite place to meet girls in Medellin.

Can you share a little bit more about this place? Is it a casa, massage place, both. How much did it cost and for how long. And what is the address and cross streets.

Thanks.

It really comes off more of a massage place. It's on the same block as Mondongos, directly above a pharmacy on that main street. After being buzzed in, I was told a few options. And that the 150,000 would include everything. They had me sit for a few minute, the girls got ready. Then I was shown three massage rooms, each with a girl inside wearing a formal massage uniform. Then I picked the girl I wanted, and paid. The massage really was great, it got some knots out for sure. After a long massage came the CBJ and more. After all was done she asked for 5000 extra for the condom. I think the have a website with videos. You can see the interior and the massage tables. Way way different vibe than excite by the stadium Where you get shown girls in sexy outfits, and you massage is them getting all slippery on your back. The girls there looked great, at Jade and the time of day I was there they were not very attractive.

Warning. I'm going to ramble but stick to what may interest you. I'm currently staying in Laureles. I've been reading this forum for years like way back when the mansion was a penthouse in Poblado. I was present for the Medellin incident way back with the Pereira girls. I haven't been there since the pool was painted with the futbol logo. I stay at both club campestres for golf and tennis. For the cool guys that don't know there is a great club campestre in llano grande and lots of action for non pros abound there. I play at country club el rodeo too. I'm in Laureles for another night because I do a certain other sport in el estadio.

This is probably my 30th trip here and I have so much tang now. I've got access to the Colombian version of mamba and today I had a 19 year old stewardess in training knocking on my door with her uniform on and had her naked 2 hours later after a nice dinner. I guess there is a school for this and it must be a scam because she said shell have to learn English to get a good job or even a job. She can't speak a lick.

Since arriving I have romanced and abused four girls that are no worse than an 8 and all are Caucasian and racist..

Got to Go. I have to ask. Was the stewardess Laura / Fernanda? Just curious.

[Turgid]

I have heard that too, but it's bullshit. How do we know it's bullshit? Because the military wore blue and not green at the time of their little misadventures in Latin America. The word 'gringo' was well established before they ever wore green.

A "Thai Spa" with "nuru" massage in Colombia?? :eek: Ok, globalization is rampant, but there must be limits.

I guess you just found a limit. I have lived in Thailand for 6 years. Out of the 1000 massage places in my city, I have yet to see one with nuru massage. I think that is actually a Japanese thing.

[Black Page]

I agree with your assessment. The place is very good- and "high end", for Medellin.
Where else can you actually get a "nuru massage"? Serious question. If there were cheaper options I would try them.
It's worth going if you are going for the "nuru"-thing. My 2 centavos.

I remember once in Singapore I've seen a gym at ground floor with glass windows to let people from the street to see what's going on inside. There was a group of Chinese girls of all sizes and shapes, trying to dance some salsa or bachata under the guidance of a true Latin instructor (he looked Caraibic). His challenge was tough. I think that dancing bachata with a Chinese girl in Singapore is like trying to get a nuru massage in Colombia.

P.S.: I deliberately wrote " :eek: " knowing that here the smilies are disabled. But WHY the smilies must be disabled in the Colombia forums??

I wouldn't say the perception of danger in Centro is erroneous. It's not a particularly safe area, especially after dark. I hit Centro a couple times every visit, and my head is always on a swivel if it's after 7 PM. FWIW I speak Spanish and I've lived my whole life in a US City known for violent crime.
The erroneous perception might be that Parque Lleras is safe. Obvious Gringos staggering around drunk make easy targets.

100% correct. Centro is dangerous indeed.

Of course, that is not a reason to stay away of it (eheh), if one is conscious of the risk, is always with antennas on and is somehow "street-smart". All this does not make danger negligible, just reduces it, but one may deliberately decide to take a risk in change of some experience one could not get elsewhere.

I am personally happy that most of the regular tourists, especially from USA, are scared or not able to go around there alone. This makes it still pristine and definitely enjoyable for me.

I tried Thai Spa. Its tucked away in a residential area and is clean and nice. The selection was kinda small. I lucked out and pulled a girl who was there on her first day. She did everything I asked. I totally enjoyed her. Its priced more like Energy but does not have the same talent. Its worth a try, but you may be out cab fare if you don't see something you like.

I knew there was a reason I hated backpackers as far back as was old enough to be one of them (late 70's). But, I can't cry too much because during my visit to Medellin I never made it down to Poblado or Lleras Park. I was too busy scoping out working girls in Centro. And I can't say that I regret it. If people want to think everything outside of Poblado is "Centro" and dangerous, then let them do so. I was happy not seeing any other tourists, or hearing English. If they are too scared to get out of their enclave for hipsters and tourists, I will be happy with that. The erroneous perception of danger has always been beneficial to the savvy.

I gave Jade Place a go. It very well located, just a few minutes easy walk from where I'm staying. Got there around lunch, was shown three girls. None were really what I normally look for. All three choices were dark and thick. Made a choice, had a really nice massage, that was the highlight. On the flip tried a few positions. But wasn't really into it so finished quick.

Back in 2009, the park was a sleepy plaza surrounded by high end restaurants catering to the top 5% of local society, and those who could afford a fancy Sunday family meal asa treat. A crowd might be 100, maybe 200, people, and there would only be a couple cops patrolling the area.

A half dozen gringos drew a few curious stares, while the occassional middle aged gringo squiring a paisita half his age might get a "tsk tsk" and a momentary glare.

Fast forward to today. Crowds of 2,000 revelers on a weekend, 38-45 cops. A hundred ISG members would get lost among the sea of backpackers, faux Rastafarians, and "Sandal-istas". The Sandalistas don't stay in the expensive hotels, eat in the expensive hotels, or pay to drink in the better bars. They also seem adverse to soap and water, but the cloud of marijuana smoke seems to either cover up the BO, or dull their own sense of smell. .

I was with you all the way until you suggested residents would sell at a loss to someone who turns the property into a bar or hotel. That doesn't add up. It's absolutely true the volume of revelers has seen explosive growth. That is why I have a hard time understanding how a property owner could lose money on a sale.

Agree 100% with your octopus analogy. See Provenza for proof positive. As for hostility toward May-December commercial couples, I think people who can't abide it avoid the area. It's a question of degrees really. There are certain pairings that even a low life like me would give a second look. But those are extreme tits out pros parading with cargo shorts and varicose vein loudmouths. Maybe it says more about me than it does about the punter / paisa pairs.

Many locals bought there town homes 5-20 years ago when it was the old Parque Lleras: quiet, clean, trendy, posh, safe..
