Medellin Reports

[Mr Enternational]

First of all I suggest arriving with a cheap cellphone because it's quite possibly going to disappear at some point. The iPhone which I brought with me (and which was promptly lost to a pickpocket) was an iPhone 8 with a cracked screen and one camera didn't work. A Samsung Galaxy A03 is a perfectly decent phone costing about $110.

On the other hand, they might stab you for making them go through all the trouble of stealing such a cheap ass phone from you. I suggest bringing an expensive phone so at least your life will not be taken over something so cheap.

If she serviced both of them and they refused to pay they should be jailed. Why not? It's police business when there are rapes and sexual assaults including refusal to pay as agreed.

They did pay but she said it was less than they agreed. I side with the guys. These chicks are scammers.

Makes no sense. It's not the police business. These countries are so backward.

Absolutely, especially when there's no transaction or beforehand discussion why you're even meeting. It's like it is what I say or think it is, regardless of what it actually even is. Due process there is through pesos and charge cards.

I carry very little, speak good basic Spanish and always wear a hat so not a "dead" giveaway I am a gringo.

I am 6'1" (185 cm), blue eyes and I'm not really white, I am actually pink. Swedish / German background. I am working on my Spanish. I just signed up for a really interesting website called lingopie where you learn a language while watching movies and TV programs. I'm not giving up. However I am afraid that my physical appearance is going to give me away no matter what. I think that in Medellin I have a bright flashing "gringo" sign on my forehead. Which sometimes is good. I think that Colombian women are kind of interested in gringos. However unfortunately so are robbers.

I am aware of it. It has been discussed. It's the presentation. LOL.

It's also because the human waste and any poo paper do not go to sewage treatment plants instead directly into shit river Rio Medellin (like shit river TJ or shit river Olongapo, P.I. etc.) and / or if they do send to sewage treatment plants these do not have in-line waste grinders.

Yum pleasant stuff to discuss on a working girl board LOL.

Related to the safety discussion I try blend in and avoid anything touristic down there. Before or after a good session in El Centro I can just sit at the bottom of Metro San Antonio stairs and chill and watch people but ONLY during the day. I carry very little $ and mostly in a money belt, no dar la papaya, speak good basic Spanish and always wear a hat so not a "dead" giveaway I am a gringo. And having basic street sense keep moving when feel eyes on you a great great asset.

I become "one" with the City and the City Primavera Eternal so far has placed her blessings upon me.

In Jesus name I pray amen for the gift of young, hot, nubile, firm CO womens!

Ewww I hate it when a 65+ year old Gringa in the U.S. sets her eyes on me.

[Cocr Brotheler]

Seriously sage advice Texas Pistol!

Is what I do out of habit hobbying during the days then staying in or near my room at night NEVER trying to get dates from social media. Maybe if I there long term and can learn how to filter out the bad ones I could do social media however I love daytime brothels and potential contacts for P4P outside them! However need to speak at least basic Spanish to do this.

I want to live to see another day!

For bros dating chicas off social media:

1. DO NOT allow them to bring another chica with them into your abode.

2. Make them turn off their cell phones and lock them along with any of their belongings into something which you can lock. If you do not bring locks and haven't thought about this DON'T visit anywhere in LATAM. Just plain ignorant, unprepared and untravelled to travel here. Of course many other places around the world could have issues as well.

I only need a bed, own bathroom and basic wifi.

Mandala Botero (booking.com) is cheaper and closer (next to the metro). Casa Botero is ground zero. Nothing is closer and a little cheaper still. Do not stay in the back because noise from the bars until 2 am. Not on hotel websites Inbetween the museum and the church with big balcony. Calle Real (booking.com) super close. Overpriced for the value in my mind. Visit all 3 and view rooms in less than 1 hour.

I was going to send private message but you have not paid. Pay the membership.

About safety in Medellin, I think that people's opinions depend a lot upon their personal experience. If someone has been the victim of an armed robbery or a drugged robbery, then Medellin is a war zone, the most dangerous city on earth. If they have not, then Medellin is not bad, just don't do anything stupid. The truth is probably somewhere in between. However this is a poor city in a poor country with weak law enforcement. You are not in Kansas anymore.

Don't carry a lot of cash or use ATM's more than necessary. Most places take credit cards.

Run shopping errands and visit ATMs between 7:00 am and 10:00 am. Criminals are sleeping because they stay up late.

For sex, go to brothels (aka casas or erotic massage spas). Get to and from the brothels using Uber.

I realize that many people enjoy the late night clubbing and picking up girls at clubs and bringing them back to the airbnb or hotel room. If that's your thing and you must do it, I can completely understand that, however realize that your risk of a very bad experience is greatly increased. No one knows what the odds are exactly, but in exchange for that experience you are taking a risk.

[TexasPistol]

Can you give me a little more detail when you say "the Casas" please? In South America I've only been to a few of the "Strip" clubs in Quito Ecuador so when you say "casas" what are you referencing and can you give me a few good ones to choose from pleas?

Google "Salones de Masajes Erticos Medellin".

I would choose any of them at random and if you aren't happy, then take an Uber down the street to the next one. There are a lot of amazing girls out there who will give you a great time, in a safe place, for 200K per hour. That's about $50. I don't think any place in the world can beat that.

[DoomBringer321]

I think you will have to wait a long time to see that.

Do not believe it for a second the violence did not decrease it just stayed off the headlines because Escobar got whacked and the rebels surrendered but the US still buys coke so the power vacuum created new players but people believed the hype hence the amount of foolishness going on.

I remember a case in Costa-Rica about 10 or so years ago when two mongers from the US had misunderstanding with tica about the amount of compensation she was to receive for servicing both of them and refused to pay the money she was expecting. The two ended up spending 6 months in Costa-Rican jail before being allowed to return home. Naturally it ended up costing them 1,000+ time more than the difference in the amount too.

I don't know about anybody else but if I were to be detained by cops in South America I'd do whatever needs to be done to avoid being taken to the station, pay whatever is asked of me. Because once you there, the case might be bumped up to the 'matter of principal'. Once you begin to hear stuff like "If I were to do what you did in your country what do think would happen to me? " you're in deep doodoo. Naturally the embassy wouldn't do much to help a hobbyist beyond maybe serving as a messenger to your relatives, and chances are wouldn't be able to do much either even if it wanted to.

If police gets somehow involved in your dealings with puta I think it's better to pay what needs to be paid and get out of the situation right there and then. IMHO.

Well if the chica has already provided services and then you are refusing to pay her then that is totally different. By all means you should pay the agreed upon amount.

However if you never even had sex then why would you be expected to pay her anything other than perhaps her transportation?

The vast majority of Hispanic immigrants are hard working individuals willing to take jobs you and your kind refuse to touch. I am sure the janitors in your company are Hispanics, 100%. Right now California is kept somewhat affordable because the cheap labor Hispanic immigrants provide.

Stop painting with a very wide brush and filter your language. Come on.

I could not agree with you more. As a young teenager growing up on a farm in New Mexico there were illegals coming up from Mexico to work. There were all sorts of derogatory names people called them. My father used to hire them. It was customary 50+ years ago. I made some unsavory comment once and my father helped me see the light. He told me I could call them whatever I wanted but those men walked 600+ miles to work the fields and they sent almost everything they earned (other than food and drink costs) back to their family using Western Union. They worked whatever jobs were available, and instead of buying a bus ticket home they walked so as to save the money.

Flash forward 50 years, and I would ask the original poster if he ever stayed in a hotel? The maids are almost all Hispanic and they work two or three jobs to earn enough money to buy their children clothes and send them to school. The men are no different, working whatever jobs they can get. I somethings think we should allow more immigrants in and start kicking out the racist complainers, most of whom are lazy and do no work at all.

You just have to recall the infamous Secret Service incident in Colombia from the past as to what could happen when there is disagreement with the girl over money. Misunderstanding over money to be paid. Refusal to pay the money. Hotel yelling incident and police called. Heads rolling.
