Medellin Reports

[Chicago85]

Not sure if this is the place to address this but my phone got stolen last night from a prostitute. I was wondering if you guys have ever experienced this and did you ever find your phone?

It's pretty much gone unless you want to text / whatsapp your number and try to ransom it back. Make sure that you remotely disable and swipe it if you can. If there are any financial apps, including Paypal or Venmo on it they WILL get access. Lock that stuff down ASAP. Change all passwords, etc.

Guilty as charged! The sacaleras are outside the wire as it were. They congregate under the metro overpass near the Parque Berrio steps and, as the Head Rat In Charge mentioned, they hang out in the thicket of vendor carts across from the Nutibara front entrance.

No, your not that crazy al least in my book.

As your aware, years ago the Sacaleros would line up alongside the Museum and there were some hotties. Albeit very thin, a stench to them, and zonked out from sniffing the VOC's in the glue.

Where have they all gone.

Good question.

I've seen a few congregating across the street in front of the Hotel Nutibarra, but there is no area which I used to call "Sacalero Row" alongside the Museum like many years ago.

The Sacaleros are all still around, you just have to look for the telltale sign being a little black plastic bag and a small bottle of glue.

They seem to have just blended in as you have noticed, and guys will find them if they spend enough time walking around the Centro / Botero area.

Some guys loving going with them, because they are so spaced out you can do anything you want with them.

Let us know when you hit "pay dirt", but I can't see many board members here getting near them with a ten foot pole..

This site claims there are no more covid restrictions or asking for proof of vaccination status or negative test. Information seems current.

While Embassy site seems is still stating that proof of negative test is needed. If boots on the ground haven't been being asked for vax card or neg test in immigration line in Colombia I guess that's what's occuring. And I'm glad that shiite is over.

Better safe than sorry to get tested probably. But that money would be better spent in country in my opinion. Lets stop making the testing companies and mini clinics rich.

If you have health insurance, chances are you can get tested free, at least free to you.

Its never a good idea to give your phone to a working girl. They will not look after it nearly as well as you would.

I traveled to Colombia on March 30.2023 from the USA. The check-in agent at Copa asked me for proof of vaccination.

Also, that site states that filling out the Check-Mig form, coming and going, is required. Copa's site states that Colombian authorities REQUEST that you fill out the form when leaving the country, as opposed to stating the USA REQUIRES you to fill out the Attestation form.

I submitted the negative test thru american airlines. I assume that is why immigration never bothered to ask for it.

The only thing you need when you check in at the airport is proof of a return ticket.

Anyone stayed in Sabaneta? Seeing new buildings popping up with nice units. Are they guest friendly? Area safe? Provenza full of tourists and Parque Lleras has become disgusting.

Guest friendly what? They are mostly condos so people buy them to live in them I presume. Not aware of any hotels being built out there.

Very safe from my experience.

During that point and time I remember a fellow monger hit me up stating he believes the child support rate in Colombia is 50-100 k a month. Fuck it I'll pay $10-$20 / month for this nut until I regret it.

Sounds like a love affair with a 20 yr old. Make her happy.

Hi,

I'll be in Medellin in early May, I am looking for friendly wing men, monger etc. I am Medellin experienced, can speak Spanish, negotiate, and knowledgeable of the culture, area. Thanks gentlemen.

I rarely saw tourists in Bogota, but basically every guy I talked to in La Isla was a tourist. I kind of expected every girl to be super hot, but doesn't seem to be the case. I found one girl and got qouted 300 k for 30 m or 600 k for an hour. I'm OK with higher prices if the girls are way hotter. But for the most part I could find hotter girls in Bogota who charge 120 k for a short time or 700 k for the whole night.

It just goes to show that when you go to places where tourists are then you are charged tourist prices. That says nothing at all as to how the chicks look. Sad that some guys swear that because they paid a certain amount to their girl then she is better than the girl you paid way less to. But as you have learned from day 1 of your trip this is purely dumb logic.

Had you not had Bogota to compare it to, then you may have been like a hog in slop. Bologna sandwich is the best thing ever to a guy that has never had a ribeye steak. Looks like you ate a nice moderately-priced steak yesterday, and got offered an over-priced bologna sandwich today. Because of experience you knew the difference.
