Medellin Reports

[Bastardito]

Hey Surfer,

I am an avid swimmer, in the pool every day. I definitely do not want to miss my laps when in Medellin. Were do you usually swim? Do you know different pools? I once read the one at the sport complex (stadium) is good. Many thanks for your intel.

Stop worrying so much about what other people are doing.

If you prefer to keep your return ticket open and are concerned the airline will give you problems, solve the problem your way based on what works for your situation. If someone else solves it another way, which fits their situation, then be happy they found a solution. If someday their method causes them problems, don't worry about it. You're not their mother.

There is no hooker girl scout guide with all the steps to achieve higher ranks clearly spelled out. Not every chica takes the same path. Some working in El Centro were working in Parque Lleras or the Mansion a few years ago. Some working in Poblado were working El Centro. They all started out different ways and different places. Some get plastic surgery, some don't. Some get paid more, some get paid less.

None of that matters. The only thing that matters is:

Are you getting the girls you want at the price you want?

If someone else is spending more on girls you're not interested in, what business is it of yours? If someone else thinks they are getting better girls than you, why worry about it?

Everyone needs to find their own level. What works for you, works for you. It doesn't have to work for everyone. If you have information to share, share it. What other mongers do with it is their business. Stop worrying so much about whether or not they are doing what you want to do.

It has been quiet and normal since I have been here. The only problem was the banks / ATMs being boarded. That said, I went to the Jumbo 65 today. All entrances are closed and boarded except for the main entrance. Inside it's business as usual and all of the ATM machines work.

Thanks again!

I've read 100's of pages in preparation for my first trip, lots of great info. But one question. When you get the girl for an hour is it one and done and then she's out? Or does this get negotiated beforehand?

If you want a quick pop in the first five minutes, then you want her to still suck you off for another 55 minutes, make it clear to her you are paying for her time up front, jajaja. And don't expect to go one minute over unless you pay more. This also may depend on what kind of girl you are with and where you are doing the dirty deed. Are you with a streetwalker in a side hotel at Centro, or are you back in your hotel room with a Facebook Find? My experience is when you pay for an hour you get an hour and that should be understood ahead of time but 90% of the time my girls are coming to me and not watching the clock so you may want to listen to some El Centro Rats from here. Good luck and let us know how it works out!

Thank you for the update on La 70. I will be there soon and have been wondering about the rioting in that area. Any other tips to get around the area during this wild time? (I've stayed there before but during the calm times). Thanks.

I have a chica coming over tonight. I know her, but have not seen her in at least two years. She is supposed to come at 7. She messages me at 6:45 and asks if she can come at 8 so she can be punctual! Jejejejejejej Everyone would always be on time if they could just change the time of an appointment.

FYI. The Bank of Bogota and Daviendo are both boarded up on La 70 near Avenida San Peter. This is where I usually get my cash. I was surprised to find that out the hard way tonight. I guess it's off to the food course at the Jumbo! Plan accordingly if you stay in this area.

"Either way let me tell you about the last time I had a refundable ticket. Qatar Airways confirmed I was entitled to a refund and asked if I preferred the refund or a voucher plus 10%, I chose the refund. Later they emailed a voucher. I then had to waste a huge amount of time calling them in the Middle East at my own expense well as trying to contact them on social media to get my refund. ".

Unfortunately not many airline companies are trustworthy. I booked a flight today to Bogota with Avianca and did not received the confirmation. No way to do anything online; they ask to call but its all answering machines and nobody to talk to. I think the biggest USA or EUROPEAN airlines are the least worst choice in term of customer service.

I am very confused why anyone needs to pay a fee to accomplish what you can for free. I think everyone is familiar with the concept of a fully refundable fare. When you need a return ticket for immigration purposes that you don't plan to use you buy a fully refundable ticket and then you cancel the trip once you are done with immigration. It's amazing to me how often the simplest things are made complicated on this website.

I did not give any chicas orgasms today.

Ok this is the last time I am going to post on this because its obvious that some people have difficulty comprehending it. By your logic if I am going to Colombia on a one way ticket I should pay for a refundable return ticket and then cancel it, so what about my outward journey if I cancel my ticket. Or are you saying that I should just cancel the return part of the journey, or buy 2 separate tickets and cancel the return?

Either way let me tell you about the last time I had a refundable ticket. Qatar Airways confirmed I was entitled to a refund and asked if I preferred the refund or a voucher plus 10%, I chose the refund. Later they emailed a voucher. I then had to waste a huge amount of time calling them in the Middle East at my own expense well as trying to contact them on social media to get my refund.

In the end I filed a case with my credit card company and I lost more time compiling emails and communication to and from Qatar Airways in order for the bank to investigate. In the end I got my refund.

Can you see where I am going with this or is there still confusion?

Also there was a time when after flying into Cambodia about 50 times on a one way ticket they suddenly demanded a return ticket that I wasn't expecting and I was already late for the flight. For me ticket rental worked perfectly.

By the way I am not endorsing that company, someone on the board asked about it and I explained how I find it useful, for me it fulfils a need, each to their own. Thats it and I am done with this topic.

Hey,

I'm new to traveling but not to the lifestyle. I will be doing some walking for SWs and agency girls. Can y'all provide me with the places you contact when in Medellin. I'll be there from 24-28 if anyone wants to grab a beer and hit Centro. I have little Spanish speaking skills, so the more you know the better.

Also I'll be staying at Hotel M, let me know if that's worth my time?

Am pretty sure this 24 hour cancellation policy with airlines is only for flights originating in USA. Maybe most of you guys do that when visiting Colombia. But it is not an option for everyone.

You are incorrect. I do not live in the USA. I don't book flights that originate in the USA. ALL Orbitz flights / rental cars / hotels etc can be cancelled within 24 hours of the reservation-so long as the trip hasnt actually started yet.

Instead of just making assumptions so you can be dismissive--maybe trust a little that some of us do this all the time--and there are many of us who do not live in the USA.

Who is trying to help you.

You're still not getting the point. Some people myself included don't want to stump up full price for a ticket and then go through a refund process when you can simply pay $12 to bypass that. Also it may surprise you to learn that not everybody is from the United States, there are other countries as well and as JustTK stated Orbitz is not an option for everyone.

1. There is no actual charge to a card and no need for a whole refund process if you make a reservation and cancel it within 24 hours--its literally as easy as clicking back onto orbitz, clicking My Trips-then pressing 'cancel'.

2. I do not live in the USA, I live in another country--so, again, in your attempt to dismiss and attack-you miss the forest through the trees. Orbitz works all over the world. I haven't been in the USA for more than a few days in almost a decade. I always use Orbitz-from outside he USA. Except North Korea. Orbitz and similar sites will work pretty much anywhere.

You can pay 12 dollars or you can pay nothing at all. Its the same effort.

I encourage people here instead of trying to push others down to lift themselves up--try and build up each others ideas and offer constructive suggestions not passive aggressive insults to people just offering to help by explaining what they have done that works.

Good point since you are outside the US. For myself there's nothing to "go through" with the refund process. With Jetblue and cancellation within 24 hours, I'm either never charged or the refund posts within a couple of days. They have to refund for cancellations within 24 hours, federal law. I've done this many times and haven't a second thought about it. This is surely something to consider for guys in the US.

I just switched from Verizon, they suck, to T-mobile and get my new phone today, just in time for my trip to Bogot this Thursday. Do I need to do anything special to get the international pass? Do I need to do it before I leave the states? When I turned on my Verizon phone when I landed in Colombia everything switched automatically.

You will be covered by a shit 3 G or lower plan automatically. You have to pay for the 4 G networks in Colombia with the pass. Just go on to myTmobile.com and put in international data pass. All you have to do is accept the charges. You can do it in Colombia or from the USA, but I like to have it activated before I go.

You guys can go on Orbitz, buy a ticket and cancel it with no issues or charges within 24 hours. So, just before heading to the airport: buy your return ticket--print. Out the information and receipt they email you. Then cancel the ticket--and just show the airport people the ticket you purchased--and don't mention the cancellation. Or just wait until you get to where you are staying then cancel it (within 24 hours from purchase).

Its not difficult to figure out.
