And I would never admit to negligently sleeping with a possible underage girl. Even in an anonymous forum. I will be meticulous with cedulas in the future as well.

Posts: 112Trip report
Good day gentlemen,
I wrote a brief trip report the other day, so hopefully once the moderators give it the green light, it will show up a couple pages deep in the thread.
In any event, I just wanted to give a shout-out and thank you to the board members here who share their experiences and keep us all in the loop with the current events and state of affairs in Colombia.
I used a US airline to get down to Medellin. And the flight attendants kicked 5 people off the plane before we even left the states. The flight attendant asked people not to talk on their phones while we were leaving the gate. However, some people just think the rules don't apply to them and kept talking on their phones.
So these customers just got straight up booted off the plane and we had to sit on the tarmac for awhile while the airport workers searched for the checked baggage to remove from the plane.
Since Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, etc. Are the days when people with even numbers on their cédulas can go out, I used my passport when going to the grocery store since it ended in an even number. For the odd number days, I carry my drivers license, which ends in an odd number.
Lots of stores check temperatures via the wrist, and my temperature varied every time, but was still within normal ranges.
People are obsessed with hand sanitizer in Colombia. I've been going to Colombia for years, and currently, I feel just as safe here, as compared to any of my other trips here.
Their economy got hit hard this year, and as I mentioned in my previous post, I noticed lots of restaurants and stores went out of business and now have for rent signs all over the place.
Only a few times have people tried to overcharge me here. Once, in Centro, I was buying a lighter and the guy said 6 mil. I was like, um what? So, then he showed me the same lighter but in a different color and said 1. 2 mil.
Next, the taxi guy in Centro taking me back to Poblado had a super fast meter. I asked him why his meter was going to fast, and he said it's because he drives fast. The problem was that we were sitting in traffic when he said that. He did reassure me that the meter would end up being 12 mil for the entire trip. We arrived to Poblado and it was 15 mil. Even if I paid a few a extra pesos on this ride, no sweat.
Finally, I went to McDonald's, they gave me a menu and I said I want the "pick 2 for 16 mil" total. She rings me up and the total comes to 30 mil. She was nice, but unfortunately, she is a pea brain. I had to explain to her that the gigantic picture that shows the pick 2 deals needs to have the same price that the menu states. She wasn't trying to rip me off, she likely just rang up the order wrong.
I was also having a cigarette outside of my hotel entrance and a group of people from "el minesterio" or some government health group walked by and one of the ladies was about to ask for my ID. But before she did that, she explained that today is pico why placa.
I knew she wasn't referring to regarding driving cars on certain days, but in any event, I just told her I didn't have a car. They left after that, no harm no foul.
Tourism is way down here, for obvious reasons and my hotel was pretty empty, with a much reduced staff. On a lighter note, I banged chicas here that I could never pick up at the bars in the states. So, I am content.
One girl in the states, was teasing me for months (she's originally Argentinian), so I'm like screw this sex prison bull crap, and went down to Colombia, where we can get whatever the heck our heart desires for a fraction of the cost.
Also, I know the exchange rate is roughly 1 USD to 3.5 mil, but I feel like the people of Colombia have a different perceived value of the peso.
For example, sometimes I would pop in to kiosk to buy a beer or water for a few pesos and let them keep the extra peso. They seemed surprised and also grateful for what is the equivalent to about a quarter in change in the states.

Choca Monger and DGDG are trolls who try to piss people off and will condone and ignore not checking cedulas and not worry about underage chicks and just try to focus on the mental health and recreational drug use of a dude in a story just to try and spit some venom. Or they really are creepy old pedophiles.

Also let this be a lesson for guys that want to circumvent the rules of the places they are staying. They are in place for your protection and the protection of the place you are staying, and not as a hindrance to your stay.
In addition, the horse was already out of the barn and he could not unfuck her the 2 times on separate occasions that he already did. The smart thing would have been to play it cool and wait until the next morning to complete the deal instead of going off the rails and starting a bunch of commotion and drawing attention to himself. He could have just as well ticked the chick off and ended up in a worse spot, all because he was not thinking with a level head. Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Posts: 28Prices at parque lleras?
I've been to Colombia before, I haven't hit the bar / club scene that much, and this was over a year ago. Quick note, I'm not a penny pincher I make decent money. I'm also from NYC where 200 $ gets you an hour with a 6/10 on a good day. I have really high standard for attractiveness, I'll typically only consider paying for the hottest 3 girls I see that night at the bar / park. Therefore I don't mind paying a little extra in Medellin for 'hot' girls. I'm fluent in Spanish and in my mid twenties, I would say I'm average looking with good fashion (all these attributes combined helps with negotiations in my experience). I'm curious as to what are prices at 'Lleras park bar', gustos and the girls walking around Lleras itself. I'm assuming prices are have changed due to COVID. When you ask them how much, what's the first number they say? Obviously ill negotiate a bit, if she says 250 k for example, based on what she looks like I might come back at 170 k-220 k. The help is much appreciated.

Posts: 4051Thanks for the nice report. It was me who mentioned thin youngsters at Zandaly. By the way, Wendy of Zandaly used to work at Aiffe when they first reopened after the quarantine. She called herself Juliana at Aiffe. I believe the redhead you mentioned is the popular girl who called herself Luna during her time at Divini. Her tattoo is new. Redhead Luna has a nice body and is a good worker as you described.
See everybody, a Centro rat does sometimes revert to casas.

Probably the best and most successful fake I met was married to a woman my old girlfriend worked with. He claimed to be a retired Marine Colonel, with. PhD in Mathematics and held a pretty high position at a major pharmaceutical company. During the divorce his wife started digging. All his degrees and his military service were fake.
As for for stories, I've heard quite a few that sounded unbelievable, but turned out to be true. I've also encountered a few mongers that have made up stories on the spot after learning about my background (which really isn't very impressive).
