Medellin Reports

[Surfer500]

How often do you encounter the fishy smell with the el centro girls?

I only remember one instance over five years ago where I encountered a stinky pussy in El Centro.

Indriver has way more drivers available than the other apps and you name your own price. People are on the bandwagon because Indriver is a way better product overall.

Agreed. It also gained appeal bcos Uber was under pressure to be banned for a while. Indriver nearly always turns out cheaper. I would use it myself if I were to use taxis much.

[Osteoknot]

En masse? Because it is about saving money. Getting a ride is a commodity and Indriver is cheaper. I mostly use Indriver too. I had Cabify hooked up to my card, but recently switched over to cash because it charges a couple hundred more pesos for using the card.

Uber is too damn expensive and infrequent. A ride from the Bogota airport to my hotel in Bogota is 26,000 with Uber, but only 16,000 with Indriver. I can go damn near all over Barranquilla for 7,000 with Indriver.

Yeah, I understand the motivation, and to say the Colombian market is price sensitive would be an understatement. I was more amazed about how rapid and tuned in "the masses" are at adapting to the market here, which I assume we used to say occurred by word-of-mouth, and that social media has now replaced. I guess word-of-mouth was the original social medial, jaja. I'm old. And in my drug addled head, I was thinking about how much different the market would be, if at all, in the USA for InDriver.

As an Enternational traveler yourself, perhaps you have been stuck with the glut of consumer choices we have in the United States compared to most other places in the world. I feel it gets obscene sometimes. I mean really, 47 kinds of dogfood and gawd knows how many different brand of toilet paper when how much of the world is not getting enough to eat? A quarter or more? I remember being shocked the first time I started venturing out of modern industrialized nations and went to stores with mostly empty shelves. Stuff you just don't see in the USA. But I digress, as always. Thanks for the feedback!

Random gratuitous fotos from this morning. My addictions are in full swing. The girls are arriving as if they are on a conveyer belt. Sophie wasn't out the door two hours early this AM when this little four foot ten, 88 pound Paisa decided to set up shop for the day in my cheap hotel room. That is her tiny pair of jeans in the one foto. I plied my, "I will pay you 150 mil COP and you can leave when you want" offer. She has been here over 4 hours, I have fucked her twice and she doesn't look like she is going anywhere any time soon. I am getting ready to take her out to lunch. We are having a great chill time and I am enjoying her company even when mi pollo is not inside one of her wet holes. That payment strategy of "you can leave when you want" does not always work this good but I've never been actually burned by it, meaning I've never had a chica leave sooner than one hour.

Super Groovy wants to bring over a new friend (personal referral) tonight who looks great on camera but we all know you never know until you see her in person. And they won't be cheap, minimum 500 mil COP for both girls which sometimes is too much for me. Catgirl's new moto arrived but I am having trepidations. During the time we have been waiting for delivery, she had one accident and one blown engine (no oil) with her friend's motos. She was not hurt but her new iPhone got smashed in the first accident because she had it tucked in her waistband and it went flying. I am not replacing the iPhone (I will probably cave in later) and it feels like it is just a matter of time until she wastes the new moto. Oh well, she is still mi Numero Uno novia but she is pushing the limits lately. And she is been having this never ending period (menstrual cycle) ever since she stopped her birth control injections weeks ago so we haven't even been fucking! She can sense my disappointment so last night she brought over a new friend who was a solid 7-8, another miniature like herself. But then they showed up to my hotel without their cedulas so I didn't get to bang them yet. They weren't gaming me, I could tell they wanted to do the nasty, but the minds of 19 year-old Colombianas are never firing on all cylinders. At least not the ones I know. Keep On Keepin' On.

I am happy, but the thoughts of returning to the USA are starting to creep into my mind. Might be time to give it a rest and this is how I usually break the cycle. I leave. Holy fuck I just noticed the date. Really? The last day of August? This always happens and my mom attests that I clearly must be having a great time because I have been here for five weeks and three days. Feels like three weeks max. Probably a combination of good times and black-outs! Jajajjaja.

Jeez. I live in the Bay Area (California), where a 1950's shitty 1 br apartment goes for $2500/ month in rent. Granted, pay is multiples above the national avg as I work in tech.

Ayye! I work in tech too. I would never consider working out of California. Granted, it is very nice out there. The dream is working remote out of Colombia if I can figure out how to make it out at some point in the future.

I have both uber and indriver apps on my cell. When you want to go somewhere get a price for the trip from uber first, then switch over to indriver and enter a price 20-30% lower than the uber price and bid that price on indriver.

I also like the convenience of having uber tied to my creditcard so cashless transaction, but if I am going to save 20-30% on the ride then I don't mind paying the peso rate to the driver.

Also many more cars available on indriver, including taxis.

That is the first guestimate I've seen for utilities, thanks. I think they call them "servicios" or "publicos" here, not sure. I think mi novia pays one combined bill per month for the electric, gas, and water, on the Internet, and then pays a separate bill for the Internet itself. I should be paying closer attention but she's surprisingly good with a budget.

Yes, the utilities are called "servicios. ".

The cost for services and cable is prorated based upon the estrato of the neighborhood. You'll pay more in an estrato 6 area than in an estrato 4 area.

The first apartment I was in was also 3 beds, 2 baths in an estrato 6 area at the south end of Poblado. With my roommate, who took 2 or 3 showers daily, left lights on and had all the lights setup 5 nights a week for her webcam broadcasts, I think the highest we paid was 170 k. We had a dedicated Fiber line for internet, which cost 445 k monthly.

At the place in Laureles, still had a webcam model broadcasting, but with all LED lights, and didn't have someone running a hair dryer every day. I think the highest was 110 k. Initially has cable installed, for around 120 k, but then had to go with fiber, because the speed was only hitting 2 Mbps on the upload side.

Every local chica I know has switched to InDriver app for their rides. I previously reported Didi as their most popular choice but they are all jumping on the InDriver bandwagon. I have not tried it. I am still mainly an Uber guy because they suck the fee straight out of my PayPal account and I love that convenience. I find it amazing how quick the populous here will switch to a new trend en masse.

Jajaja well eventually is better than never. And was Ericka a prepago online? Would be curious to see her profile and if she looked her age in the photos. I've got nothing against those older ladies, sometimes I prefer women a little more experience..

I think she'd be too thin for your tastes, but here's her link. She looks younger, of course, in the photos. But she is skilled.

A lot of these ads say "oral completo". Obviously, I know the most basic meaning. But does that imply CIM?

Finally, does someone have a recommendation for someone submissive? I like to give a throating and / or tug on hair on occasion. With permission, of course.

I'm going off memory on most of this, but it should be reasonably close.

Cost of a very nice 3 bed, 3.5 bath apartment in a nice area of Laureles, unfurnished, was 1. 6 million pesos. This was a big place, about 1900 sqft, 2 blocks north of UPB and far enough from La 70 to be quiet. You can find 1 bed, 1 bath places for 1 million, in a good estrato 5 neighborhood. Utilities were about 100 k monthly and cable and internet was about 120 k. Call it about 1. 5 million with all utilities, for a fair sized 1 bed apartment, with all utilities, or around $450 monthly.

For lunch I usually prefer the little Colombian places, cost about 12 k average. For dinner I splurge more, but still average about 25 k. Breakfast I prefer to make something simple, less than 5 k daily. Call it another 1. 2 million for food. Using the Metro and buses kept my travel costs to about 300 k monthly.

All together, you can live pretty good on 3 million COP monthly, not counting entertainment expenses. Call it $800 monthly.

You're going to have setup costs, buying furniture and all the stuff you need in the apartment. If you keep your hooker budget under 1 million weekly, you're looking at $2200 per month, all in.

If you need to be close to Parque Lleras, you might need $5000, but it's not a necessity.

Is when I expect some more of my haters start to express themselves with comments like, "Stop the drivel, no one cares, your obsessed with yourself, find another place to peddle your wares. " You get the gist. I can feel it.

I accept those as valid criticisms and certainly anyone's allowed opinion. But if you feel that way, my suggestion is that you add me to your Ignore List. I know my audience, they are not the frequent posters here. I have mucho respect for those guys but they have found their way already. My audience is silent. I won't evoke the Nixon era "silent majority" but I am close to it. I know you are out there and we are in this together. Keep On Keepin' On!

Random foto from last night. Super chill and tripendicular overnight with Rosie. I will try to post later if I can keep up. I am breaking one of my cardinal rules and letting her come back two nights in a row, because she has to make rent by tomorrow, and I successfully low-balled her a little. We'll see what happens.

Ostee, just know that there are dozens of us readers sitting in our boring office looking forward to your magical stories of the promised land every morning. Wish I could buy you a beer.

[Osteoknot]

I believe you added an extra 0 to your number by accident, 1 peso = 100 centavos not 1000.

Centavos means a hundred, Latin root, centum, for one hundred, staring at me in the face! Geeeezzzzz Louiizzzzzze that is exactly the kind of error I was trying to avoid, jajaja. Failed again! Thank you! You made me a better person jajajajaja.

[BlackThought]

I think we could all agree that if there was rotten tuna smell it would not be normal.

Tenemos un acuerdo?

How often do you encounter the fishy smell with the el centro girls?

[BlackThought]

I did not downplay anything. I merely stated how strange it was that me and another poster state that we never experience this while you and another poster are saying that it is common for chicks that you have been with to have a smell. I need to get you guys to choose some lottery numbers for me if you are having this experience that often because I simply have not. And to top it off, I get most of my hookers from the street where everybody swears they are less clean and going through way more guys. You guys just have a knack for choosing stink pussy chicks whereas I am obviously no good at it.

Do you DATY?

[BlackThought]

Shiiii-iii-it man! It does not cost me $5000 to live in the States. When I did have a mortgage, it was only $630. As I have said before, a buddy of mine pays $250/month for a 3BR 2BA apartment in Medellin. Even if he was on drugs, I don't think he could go through another $1200 each week.
