Medellin Reports

[ColombiaLover]

Never did a glue sniffer from centro. But I did know a FB girl who got into sniffing glue. Her name was Marilyn. Can't remember the last name. She was a cute spinner, but with an odd personality. She was great except when you tried to kiss her. I found out the hard way when we were kissing and I smelled the glue. She eventually got off the glue (I could tell when I saw her, because she did not smell any more), but lost touch with her.

The point is that if they sniff glue, you will know it when you get near them, even if they are not doing it at the time.

As far as the Sacaleros there's a couple of issues. The first is the stench that comes out of their pores, imagine a heavy smoker that has that nicotine odor coming from them, but even more disgusting.

I doubt very few posters on this board would do them, but I am sure some of the regulars on this board whether they are willing to admit it or not have tried them.

I got in touch with her friend and then later got in touch with Leidy. They both told me $200 USD for Leidy. I offered 300 k 2 pops and she declined. I didn't respond beyond that. I agree with ColombiaLover though, I'm happy it worked out that way after seeing her post without makeup and filter. I had a feeling the service would suck, when she dances, she just looks super stiff. I think she looks good from certain angles and its more of an illusion than anything.

She looks pretty close to a 10 in my book with her makeup, don't care what she looks like without it as I am sure she would show up in her warpaint. $200 maybe if that includes some dinner / dancing etc before going back to the hotel.

The glue sniffers are the best. Look for my Cartagena hat on one of them.

Prior to the invasion of the Venezuelans, and about five years ago all of the glue sniffers known as Sacaleros used to line up along side of the Museum where the pedestrian walkway is and there were some pretty cute ones indeed. I used to refer to this area as 'glue sniffer alley' technically though it's not a Cahuilla.

As far as the Sacaleros there's a couple of issues. The first is the stench that comes out of their pores, imagine a heavy smoker that has that nicotine odor coming from them, but even more disgusting. The second is some of them are like Zombies. There pretty easy to spot, look for a plastic bag they put the glue into and sniff out of. Also, a lot of the Sacaleros are very thin as a result of sniffing glue. I tried a few of them because I was curious, and if you wanted to you could do anything you wanted with them because they can be so spaced out. I doubt very few posters on this board would do them, but I am sure some of the regulars on this board whether they are willing to admit it or not have tried them.

I think your assessment of what is going on in Parque Botero and the surrounding area makes sense compared to what else has been posted.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, Chile has recorded more than 317,000 cases since the beginning of pandemic, which puts its on the sixth place in the world by the number of registered cases.

To put things in perspective, the USA Population is roughly 331 million while Chile population is just 19 million. This means that about 1% of the USA Population has tested positive for the virus while in Chile about 1. 7% of population were registered as infected at some point. I also assume that the USA Is doing more tests due to its technological and financial advantage over Chile. So, while the USA Gets all the press, the situation in Chile is likely much worse.

I get all gooey inside when someone uses math and gets it right.

Whether or not Chile has had it worse would depend upon the case distribution over time. At this point, and we should have confirmation by Friday, it appears the US is in a worse position. I'd really love to be wrong on this one.

First there was a boss now it is bosses. You make it sound like this underworld mafia out to get people. It is a bunch of cliques like high school. There is the older girls group, the Venies, newbies, glue huffers, blacks, the weekenders only crowd, and so on.

What you are seeing is a girl out with her friends working with a boyfriend or two on the side that is playing bouncer if need be (poor guys trying to get a cheap deal) but mostly trying to get a cut because he if a worthless piece of that brown smelly stuff..

Saw the posse (The Tallman, PolloNegro, and 3rd guy) around 10:00 am. But only as they past by when I turned my head. It was Sunday with less chicks. I needed to get laid and get some numbers before lock down. They may start kicking people out early like 3 pm. Never know.

Saw The Tallman and the 3rd guy a few hours later in front of Museum. The Tallman you were just waving that phone around like you just don't care (haha. That if a verse in a song I can not remember). You were on a video call holding that phone at arms length away. You were talking to the 3rd guy, the person on the phone, all while trying to video the surroundings and yourselves. Not paying any attention to who or what was happening around you while holding your phone so far away from your body. Shocking.

About 40 minutes later pass by The Tallman and the 3rd guy near front of Premier Plaza Suite still on video call. So much time on the phone I think maybe you are a girl.

Is the 3rd guy equal meaning close buddies with the guy you were video conferencing? Hard to tell by just passing by and he does not strike me as a big talker. If the 3rd guy hardly knows the guy you were on video with, then you owe him an apology for being a jerk and ignoring him..

Yes I observed you too, I have superb peripheral vision, like superman x-ray vision, and always aware of everyone around me.

You were the small older dude wearing shorts looking at us like a maricon wanting to get into our pants, hehehehe you need to check out the transvestite area next to the vera for that, were you lost trying to get your bearings?

Oh sounds like your a gringo with short man's syndrome with no confidence to come up and say Hi rather pick apart my conversations and friendship that you know nothing of. Pussy with short mans syndrome and can't make friends like a normal person.

You owe me an apology punk.

I am sure the experienced folks already know this, but I think it is best always to negotiate with chicas in COP.

One chica quoted USD 125 to set me up with her friend and her referral fee. I told her that was too steep and I can't do that. She said that is normal, because the girl gets 200 COP + 20 COP for taxi, and she gets 30 COP as referral fee. I agreed to that.

Based on that day's exchange rate, I think it came out to USD 70. Not sure what kind of conversion they do. LOL.

Also, some of the chicas travel to Mexico to work, to touristy places. I think they get the USD 100 from there, which appears to be the norm.

I told them, I am not paying Mexican prices in Medellin. LOL.

Much love and respect but if a Colombian woman would even hint of payment terms of USD I would drop that ***** and run. I could care less where they get the idea from, be it traveling to Mexico to sell their pussy or if they learned it from their university degree in economics (I am being sarcastic) these types of putas are hard core and not worth even my time communicating with. IMHO.

I have been mongering in Medellin for 10 years now, living here for the past 3 years, and also have more than a decade traveling to other areas and cities of Colombia and during this, kid you not, one thousand situations maybe had a total of 3 quote me in USD.

So run Forest run!

My Colombian visa was put in my passport at the Colombian consulate in Boston, Massachusetts. I then had 90 days to get my ass to Colombia and get my cedula which I obtained at the immigration office in Manizales.

That's good, I was in Colombia when obtaining my visa and they required it be sent to Bogota, so being able to renew in a Colombian consulate is good news, thanks for the info.

[Manizales911]

My post was about obtaining an "investors visa" which qualifies you for residency, and is good for five years and obtaining this type of visa does not require obtaining a temporary visa first, but making an investment. And to obtain the Cedula, your Passport needs to be sent to Bogota to obtain the Visa that they paste into your Passport (and you don't need to appear in person to do this), and with the visa than in your Passport you can obtain a Cedula at any immigration office.

As far as buying real estate in Colombia it's tricky, kind of like the wild west with no escrow or title companies, and lots of gringos get burned and duped in the process.

All jokes aside, I do have a business need to go to Medellin, I have consulted lawyers in both the US and Colombia, they all told me that in the short term, there is no way to get in while the travel ban is in place. S. Plus, I much rather talk about something interesting and potentially fruitful than shopping charts and ATM fees.

What has been talked about in how you might return to Colombia (bribing officials, boat / motorcycle travel, and hitchhiking across different Countries) has been interesting for sure in that it has been so absurd, and yes is more fun reading about than the posts about ATM's.

The only way I can think of you getting back to Medellin quickly short of everything to date mentioned is that you would have to assume the identity of either a Colombian Citizen or perhaps a Colombian resident somewhere in the world who can return on a humanitarian flight approved by Colombian immigration. I am clueless as how you might go about doing this short of enlisting a CIA operative to assist you, and you might have to get a phony face like something out of a Tom Cruise movie.

I will say this, when you do return, I am looking forward to your posts when you finally pull off some good foursomes. I think when you left you had the threesomes perfected, but were still working on the foursomes.

I've met him. Floyd Mayweather talks a lot of shit but he's real right? Same principle here. Look forward to seeing you again brother, and the steaks and maragaritas are on me.

General social priority goes to the friend live and in person first, second to the phone call, and lastly to a text or email. Maybe I am wrong but appeared that the 3rd guy was not at the same level of friendship thus meaning you took the video call as a priority over him. Not cool.

I'm going to disagree on these 2 points.

If testing was 100% random you would need to test roughly 30% of the population before you could have an increase in number of positive results due solely to the number of tests. Even then, the increase would be small.

Start with a control group of 100.33 are infected. For every 3 tests, you should average one positive. These are all completely random. As your pool of untested shrinks, sometimes you're finding more than 1 of every 3, sometimes less. So once you've got about a third tested, you've established a reasonable idea of what more tests will show. Assuming no new infections. Whether you test 15 or all 100 you'll get about the same answer.

However, testing isn't completely random. First priority, people with symptoms. Now let's go back to the 100.18 have symptoms, they get tested and with 18 tests you've found 18 of the 33.7 others have symptoms, but are negative. With 25 tests, you have 18 positive results, indicating 72 infected people. Another 15 get tested, because they've been around someone who was infected. You get 7 more positive results. Now you've identified 25 positive results with 40 tests, still giving you a potential 72 (72.5) infected people. Add in more testing and the numbers keep dropping, until, after 100 tests, you find only 33.

Testing more people, won't find more cases, unless there are more cases to be found.

As for the financial incentive, can someone please show me the money? I understand there have been claims that there's extra financial compensation for hospitals who are willing to claim every death is COVID-19, but I haven't seen anyone showing the money. If someone is paying huge bounties for falsifying death certificates, it should show up somewhere. And I say huge, because what happens when someone proves their family member didn't die from COVID-19? Not only is there a significant payout, but it opens the floodgates. Every COVID-19 death becomes a potential million dollar settlement. That's an enormous risk.

Where does the money come from? Of course the easily debunked conspiracy theory is that Medicare and Medicaid are paying it. There are 2 significant problems with that source. First, those payments would only apply to people who are on Medicare it Medicaid. It would be rather suspicious if every person on Medicare suddenly started dying from COVID-19.

The other, more significant problem is that means Trump's own people are, apparently with Trump's approval, spending money in order to make Trump look bad. I have trouble believing that.

Now to the debunking.

Back when COVID-19 started causing problems, the Kaiser Family Foundation was asked to estimate the cost of the disease. They went back through Medicare records to determine the average cost for treatment of diseases requiring similar treatment. What was the final bill? How much for ICU? How much for a ventilator? Then they published their findings.

On April 8, on the Fox News show "The Ingraham Angle", Sen. Scott Jensen (R-MN) was interviewed and made the claim of extra payments, using the KFF numbers. However, those aren't extra payments. Those are the estimated costs.

In addition, Medicare doesn't pay hospitals extra for deaths. "Patient didn't survive? Here's another $10,000 for your trouble. "

The number of positive cases can't double from increased random testing, unless the number of positive people has also doubled. The number of deaths is not because the Trump administration is trying to make the Trump administration look bad.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, Chile has recorded more than 317,000 cases since the beginning of pandemic, which puts its on the sixth place in the world by the number of registered cases.

To put things in perspective, the USA Population is roughly 331 million while Chile population is just 19 million. This means that about 1% of the USA Population has tested positive for the virus while in Chile about 1. 7% of population were registered as infected at some point. I also assume that the USA Is doing more tests due to its technological and financial advantage over Chile. So, while the USA Gets all the press, the situation in Chile is likely much worse.

You must be really fiending to be thinking up these hair-brained schemes and posting about it. Let's say you do sneak in, how do you intend to sneak out?.

The biggest regret in my life so far is leaving Medellin 2 fucking weeks before this fucking quarantine. Why would I ever want to sneak out if I'm ready in heaven. Don't people pray for a lifetime so they can get to heaven and never have to leave?
