Medellin Reports

[Knowledge]

In only three days I think it would be very hard to rack up noticeable ATM fees unless you are making frequent withdrawals all day every day.

First, are you talking about dollars or COP? If dollars, get 250 out of your head. 300,000 COP for one hour (less than $100) should be the max.

Since you don't have much time to plan, and will be there for only 3 days, I suggest you go to Luna Lunera and La Isla. You can communicate with the ladies there and discuss what you want before choosing. You will probably have to communicate with Google Translate, but desperate situations require desperate actions.

The hotel doesn't have to know whether or not they are working girls. All they have to do is restrict entry to registered guests only. I don't know about the Dann Carlton, buy my inclination is they don't allow unregistered guests. It is one of the upscale hotels.

One more piece of advice you didn't ask for. Figure out which of your debit cards charges the less for foreign transactions and use it to get money from ATM's. Use BBVA and Davivienda ATM's. Those banks don't charge a fee, so you'll only be paying the fee your bank charges. The exchange places will pay about 10% less than the ATM's.

I had a last minute work trip to Medellin for first time and then I started doing research and came here. Made an account and tried to upgrade credit card declined so will have to do it in cash. No time to get to premium membership.

My company has booked Dan Carlton in El Pablado.

I speak no Spanish whatsoever.

I want to bang about 6 chicks over 3 days. Really hot one somewhat good budget like 250 per girl. But I want good ones and ones with BBBJ. A must.

Any pointers on where to look for quality as I don't have as much time in between work and such. Like few hours a day and one full day.

Also is my Hotel going ti allow girls in? How would they know if they working girls etc. Just trying to get my feet wet.

I just got word my membership cleared. Glad to be posting. I am going to Colombia the first week in February and staying to 2-3 weeks. I will visit Medellin and Bogota. Just wanted to introduce and maybe connect up with some people down there. I am from the USA and this will be by first visit to Colombia. I went to Ukraine a few times over the years, so this will be a new scene. Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

I should have been here two weeks ago but trip got booked last minute as my company acquired company in Medellin.

Thanks guys for help in advance.

I made a jump on my chair. One of those names corresponds to a friend of mine! (but she's not from Medellin).

I have not many friends on FB, and they are girls I met in the past, just in case I wish to get in touch with Messenger. I met her as she was in P4 P, of course, but I did not expect to find her posted here. However, I don't think she's the same girl. My friend not only lives in another city, but also she posts only photos of her family and barrio boys.

By the way, most of those names are very common, so for the same name of my friend I found several girls making a seach on FB, but none of them living in Medellin. The residual question would be then: if one wants to look for those names, should he add "Medellin" as place? At least for that name, it does not work.

I am reading the medellin reports and also I read a lot about FB girls. Can someone help me with the search of FB girls in Medellin. I have made a new FB profile, but cannot search Medellin girls.

Thanks in advance.

That about the metro on election days. In fact, it's even more authentic than usual because of all the people who don't normally take the metro. I was with a friend with benefits for a short ride on the tranvia from San Antonio to a restaurant we like near the mercado del tranvia during the first round of the recent presiential. We tapped out after a couple of stops. It was just too crowded. Neither of us wanted to walk but we agreed it was preferable to being mashed like bugs. It was more authentic than either of us were ready to accept.

Except for the few people here who grew up with wealth, we all grew up experiencing our authentic country. It wasn't boring growing up. However, try going back to it 40 years later, after having seen the world.

In Medellin there are several levels of authentic. You'll find the authentic estrato 5 people in Laureles and in some areas of El Centro. You'll rarely find them in El Poblado. El Poblado is where Paisas with money go to get away from where they grew up.

I define authentic as how the majority live. The majority don't spend 80,000 COP a night for a hotel, or 25 k for a meal. The majority don't sell their ass to gringos, or have their girlfriends sell it. The majority don't take taxis everywhere. And in Medellin, the majority don't have hot water..

I grew up in the environment like you described, including the billiard parlors. We don't have shower. We had to burn wood to get hot water, but it was not boring. When I was walking around Centro in the area where they have many small industrial shops, I felt like going back in time.

It seems you define "authentic" experience very narrowly or for people living poorly. The hot water is generally not reliable except in the hotel. I had several meals for 6 K but it became 10 K when I switched from meat to fish. I told a local that I thought a restaurant charged me too much for a mondongo soup. The local said it is an expensive soup that I would be charged double if I go to a good restaurant. I went to Mondongos in Laureles, and the price is more than doubled but it came with several additional side dishes.

For a free, authentic experience in Medellin, spend election day riding the Metro. The Metro is free on election day, so everyone uses it to visit other parts of the city, especially the areas serviced by the Metrocable. Be prepared for long lines and being packed in like sardines. These are the people who view riding the train as an adventure. It's exciting. It's as close as many of them will ever come to traveling. If you can handle the crowds it's quite an interesting experience.

And if you're in Laureles, try Rico Ajiaco, just south of Mondongos. It's about the same price, but a less commercialized restaurant.

The authentic (insert any country name) is boring as shit. That's why everyone spends so much time and money looking for the best fake stuff.

The real Colombia is boring as shit. Best to stay your ass in one of those major cities where there is enough fun to go around when you have money. You don't want to be caught out somewhere like Monteria, Boyaca, or Armenia unless you are retired and don't have shit else to do with your time.

P. S. They still have hookers in the local dive bars though. They may not be to your standards, but they definitely have them.

[Mr Enternational]

Very few people reading this forum will get an "authentic" experience, regardless of where they go. Very few people reading this forum want an authentic experience. What most want is to be able to convince themselves they've spent a few days, or a few weeks seeing the real Colombia, without having any idea what the real Colombia is like.

I can do everything you say except the no hot water. Have you showered in cold water in Medellin?

Yes I have. Spent 2 months in a very nice apartment with no water heater. However, I did install a heated shower head after about 2 weeks. Never was comfortable with it though. Having 220 v connected directly to the shower head doesn't seem safe, but it worked fine.

It's one of those things you forget when looking at apartments. You just assume every place has hot water.

[Turgid]

..............Spend 3 or 4 weeks away from all that. No hookers, no drugs, no parties, none of the restaurants that charge over 9 k for a meal, no Uber, no taxis, no hanging with the gringos. Instead of Juan Valdez or Starbucks, spend 200 pesos for a paper cup of tinto from a street vendor. While you're at it, no air conditioning, no heating and no hot water.......................
