Posts: 88I forgot to pack boxers
I arrived in MDE tonight but forgot to pack boxers (don't ask how please) I am pretty close to unicentro Laureles. Anyone know of a store or stores around Laureles that sales mens boxers / briefs? Also, I am looking for a mini 2 serving indoor grill, something like a mini george foreman. Anyone know where I can find one of these at? I will go and check out Exito as I have to make my first run there upon entering the city anyways.
Please help LOL.

Posts: 60Not getting robbed
I'm a bit confused on how to safely solo travel. I've heard that you should find girls online before arriving to plan, then again meeting girls online is how you get scammed? Was thinking of making a Facebook with my real face but fake name and adding girls. Or tinder.
Then there's the possibility of being drugged. Should I completely avoid all drinks that are poured even if out at a restaurant and bar, and bring my own unopened water from a market?
Finally, should I request the girl to shower with soap and rinse with mouthwash, while watching her physically do this?
As for these "short hour hotels", I should do homework and find secure ones that have guards plus tip them to make sure I don't end up a statistic?

Posts: 625STD testing
Just want to submit a PSA of sorts for anyone looking for STD testing. I use Proanalab to get tested every year or so. Whatsapp +57 321 743 0433. A 4 part panel "muestras de sangre" for HIV / Clamidia / Herpes / Sifilis is 236 mil if you visit their lab at carrera 49 #60-05 just a couple blocks north of Parque Bolivar. Or 256 mil domicillio. Same day results for HIV and 3 days for the other tests. Just FYI.

Posts: 1047Some arrival information
I arrived at MDE tonight at about 8:15 on Copa. The line at immigration was approximately 70-80 people. It moved fairly fast. I was through it in about 20 minutes. The bags from my flight had already arrived. The bus to San Diego was almost full, so only had to wait a little while for it to leave. The bus fare is now 15,500. They also accept payment with a Metro card. Before I left the US, I used Ding to add data and minutes to my Colombian number. It's cheap. I paid for 6 days with 1g of data. Total cost was $2.68. When I arrived at MDE, everything was working. I received a message from Claro that I had added 7 days with 2g of data.

Posts: 7Learned a Lesson Tonight
Learned a lesson tonight. Had a girl say "mi hora es $X. " Seemed like she might be saying "mi hora" in the sense of my time, so I clarified saying I'd pay her for her time but might be longer than an hour or less than an hour, and I didn't want to be rushed. I thought it was pretty clear, she said okay. Sure enough, we meet, we chat, she takes photos of course, she shows me her TikTok, she cleans herself, and then as we're getting started she informs me of the time and is looking to get double her rate. I just had her finish me orally and got her out of there as quick as possible. One of the nice things about Medellin is you don't get the clock watchers as much as American providers, but should have recognized hora for the red flag that it was. I'm just ghosting any girls that use hora in the future, like as if they cited me their American dollar rate.

Posts: 5496A few restaurant reviews and some misc stuff
Arrived Saturday night late and stayed in Rionegro to pick up my rental car on Sunday. Was waiting for my ride to the hotel within 20 minutes after the door opened, short line. Learned upon arrival that my luggage took a detour. Finally got it Sunday night.
Had a lunch invitation in Envigado at Restaurante Viejo John, right off the park. Very popular place with a long line waiting for a table. Fortunately, my hosts were already seated. Excellent comida tipica and prices seemed reasonable, although I never saw the check. If you like Colombian food, it's worth a visit.
Monday night was date night. Made the mistake of trying Denver Grill in La Strada. Not worth it. There's a small gas grill in the middle of each table. If you order a steak, you cook it yourself on the grill. So far, not bad, until the 2 ribeyes showed up. Steaks were less than a half inch thick. Convenient for quick grilling, but not worth the 110 k each price tag. Came with 1 small side dish. Food was good, just not much for the price.
Last night I visited La Mayoria in the hills above Envigado. It's a large place which is probably packed on the weekends, although not many people there on Tuesday. Friday through Sunday they have horse shows of various types at the restaurant. I chose what was described as a thick cut sirloin and got a thick cut sirloin that may have been the best steak I've had in Medellin. Service was good and good views. Long ride by taxi, but it's only 12 minutes away from where I'm staying.
Monday night exposed my date to the bar at the Mansion. Only 2 girls there when we arrived, 1 more came in a few minutes later. There were no other customers. Bartender was cute, as were 2 of the 3 girls. The third girl looked pretty rough. Stayed for 1 drink before heading to La Isla. When we left it was only the doorman, the bartender and 1 girl in the bar.
Arrived at La Isla before 10 pm, lots of girls, no customers. They now charge 100 k cover for a girl, 50 k for guys. I'm glad they weren't doing that last year when I took 3 girls. The club slowly filled with customers, although not a big crowd. Two guys were periodically making it rain, which drew almost all the girls. Almost all the customers were gringos. As for the girls, they came in all shapes and sizes. Quite a few with grossly over inflated (to me) tits and asses. Quite a few were all natural. There are always enough options to satisfy most tastes.
Can't help much with lodging, because I'm staying at an apartment in the hills above Envigado, which my hosts had available. I didn't want to stay here, but they insisted. It's free, stocked with plenty of food and wine, in a quiet location, and comfortable, but it's not exactly a convenient location. I've been grabbing breakfast or lunch with friends and have a family barbecue to attend tomorrow night. Leaving on Saturday night on the last flight out.

I bought my SIM in July and Saturday I finally got the dreaded message that if I did not register my phone by February 16 it would be blocked on their network. I immediately went to a huge Claro store in the biggest mall in Barranquilla. The lady told me it was not a service center and I would need to go to the service center Monday. The first thing Monday I went and it took the lady like 10 minutes to register my phone and passport number in the system. No Claro employee ever said you can just do it in the app. And if it took her 10 minutes on their own company computer, it does not seem simple at all.
