Medellin Reports

On my last trip to BA Argentina about 4-5 months ago it was lightly raining. I was in the obilisk area- bad area. Looking for a cab. Probably 9 pm. No cab in sight so to get out of the rain I steped back under a overhang. Wham a guy runs by me from behind and relieves me of my watch. OK this was my travel watch at least 40 year old timex. Not worth much I only use it when traveling just for this reason. The watch had a flexible wrist band. If it had a strap that buckled I don't think HE would of tried to steal it. Lesson learned. I'm a big enough guy but I didn't chase him. I used common sence that I didn't have just a few years ago. I chuckled to myself as HE ran across the rain swelled street and stepped into a water filled hole over his ankle. Years ago my xxwife gave me a nice diamond ring a little over a half carrot. On a trip to Palermo Italy I noticed a fella looking at my hand. Now I leave all jewelry at home. This rough looking thug looked the type that wouldn't take the time to take this 1500 dollar ring off my finger HE could of cut of the finger. Leave your jewlrey at home why take the chance.

[QUOTE=Ricker;1628026]Whatever guys.

Don't understand the big fuss.

If a woman is beautiful or cute or sexy, etc regardless if she's a Colombiana, a gringa, whatever, guys are going to look at them and yes, maybe even daydream a bit about her.

That's just natural.

As long as you're cool in your actions and don't act like a fool and disrespect, no problem.

I don't understand the big deal.[/QUOTE]So Ricker, when you notice a beautiful woman, no matter where, Colombia, Brazil, USA. You say to yourself, or nudge the guy next to you and say "that's a damn good prepago".

Ok then Ricker, whatever. LOL. If YOU say so, then I guess its normal.

[QUOTE=Beach1708;1628141]Yes I can tell you it not a good idea to wear jewelry. I was held at gun point in front of the old mansion back a few years ago over a small gold chain. I never took it off not thinking and went over to the mall to exchange some money. Walking back to the mansion they pulled up the hill on a motorcycle and stuck a gun to my head over it at the front door of the old mansion. Things that are only worth a few hundred dollars are not worth your life.[/QUOTE]This has happened plenty of times in Poblado and a few times within walking distance of the Mansion. The banditos know where the money is and where the easy targets are. That's why I say Poblado can lull you into a false sense of security. When you walk around Centro after sundown, it feels creepy and you act accordingly, you're on guard. But Poblado is a wealthy neighborhood and you don't expect shit to happen. Best not to wear jewelry and not to carry large amounts of cash more than necessary.

Safe area, not safe it doesn't matter. 10 years ago I got mugged 50 ft from the Del Rey. Being stupid, had a few drinks and left the DR with a girl at 2 am walking to my room less then 50 Yds away in the Morazan. Not remembering to take off a small gold chain & tiny cross. 2 street kids ran up behind me and grabbed the chain off the back of my neck. I turned to run after them and bumped into 2 big guys blocking the sidewalk, they were part of the mugging. Another time I was waiting for my taxi guy to unload my bags, on the sidewalk 5 ft. From the front of my apartment on Ave Atlantica in Rio. I took out a $20 bill to pay him and in a flash a thief on a bike flew by me and tried to grab the 20 out of my hand. HE didn't get it but I never saw it coming, HE was gone in a flash. It's sad and a terrible way to live but it is a fact in Latin America. The people who live there understand this and always protect themselves. Countless times I have witnessed the prepago take the money I gave her and put in in her boot or panties before going downstairs to board the taxi. So always expect the unexpected!

ok then ricker, whatever. lol. if you say so, then i guess its normal.[/quote]

lol, that's funny.
don't know how you came up with that from my post.

i never use the term "prepago", except maybe when writing on this forum.

as to your above example, i would just think or say to a friend, "that's a damn good looking woman", or something like that.

i don't naturally assume every beautiful woman is a hooker, lol.

i doubt anyone really does.

relax man, this is a just an internet guide on finding pfp all over the world.

doesn't mean we're all running around treating all women like hookers, even if a guy may use a figure of speech while bsing on this forum.

The bad shit that has happened to me, has always been when I've been off guard and not expecting it, and not when I've been on Defcon 1, like at night in el Centro, LOL.

[QUOTE=Jet69;1628131]Do fill in the details please. I keep hearing how dangerous it is but hardly hear any real life details.

How old is your buddy? Where did it happen? Street, alley? Crowded area or? Was HE drinking. Why was HE stabbed? Did he resist for 17 bucks?

I was in Medellin last April and walked with a buddy in el centro mid afternoon. Tons of people and we kept to the busy streets. Had one beer in a small crowded bar. Felt completely safe, but my buddy insisted at a fast walk wherever we went. I get the "walk with a purpose", but I sometimes think some take it to extreme.

Another night we are sitting at a sidewalk table in Mayorista. Big drunk Colombia gets in my face and starts blabbing. I don't understand Spanish and I try to politely tell him that. He motions a slashing sign to his throat and stumbles away. For all I know HE was telling me the place was dangerous for gringo's. Cops were patrolling 1/2 block away.

Last, walking with group of 6-7 big Gringo's in strip club area 10 pm Busy area, but I was wondering in my head if I would be safe here alone? I like seedy places but use common sense.

What to ex-pats due late at night? Stay home?[/QUOTE]HE is my daughters uncle,35 year old Colombiano and owns a mango stand in el centro, Manizales. HE had just closed the stand down at 5 o'clock when a guy walked up to him with what was described only as a huge knife. HE resisted and the guy plunged the knife into his back missing his heart by a half an inch according to the doctors that worked on him, HE is in intensive care still. The first thing that comes to one's mind is why would anyone resist for 35 mil? Well that is a lot of money to a Colombian trying to feed his wife and two kids, I know the entire family very well obviously as I am part of it and I can tell you that they are very poor. If and when it happens to me I will quickly give up the goods. His brother has also been stabbed during a robbery and his other brother has been shot. Every member of the family has been robbed at some point, Colombia is not Disneyland regardless of whether or not it has never happened to you or you only hang out in Gringo land in Medellin.

I am in the middle of a short but fantastic trip. I tip my hat to [B]Dealdo[/B], a senior poster on this forum for giving me great tips. I am quite experienced with MDE but I feel like I learn something new (and from each other) every time and MY experiences only are getting better. This is not majority opinion as there are folks that feel otherwise and think MDE is going down. I am not going to argue.

This trip I did with another buddy and some of the girls I describe went with my buddy but we share an apartment and the info should be accurate. The type of girls I prefer are lean, athletic bodies, preferably no silicone and they need to be classy. More of a Colombian girl next doors, which is not easy to find. I don't throw money, always look for a value but do not nickel and dime for a few bucks. I bring gifts (such as perfumes and lingerie) for girls I know and if I plan on seeing them again.

I made arrangements for [B]Aleja[/B] and [B]Melissa[/B] to meet us in our apartment at 9 PM and they were there promptly. Coming from airport, I barely had time to shower. It is a great feeling to be greeted by two beautiful girls. [B]Aleja[/B], who I wrote about before has a killer natural body. If your are into tight bodied 20 yr olds, it is hard to find someone better. I do find her a bit cold this time and not as passionate as I would like. I wish she would pretend like others do, that they give a crap about my amorous feelings. She is a great fuck if you are into a high energy session but if you want a slow romantic one, you may want to pass. [B]Melissa[/B] on the other hand is smooth, also killer body, knows a bit of english and she gets into it. I would highly recommend her but with the caveat that she does not kiss. When asked about kissing, she showed me the other lips :-)

They left at 10:30 and by midnight we were at fase II for more debauchery and what a night it was. More. On it when I find time.

An actually trip report. Gracias amigo! Nice quick read. Too quick! How was the line up at Fase2? Aleja Girlado? Sounds like the girl you're talking about. Milissa. Last names please or better yet you can PM me some contact info por favor! Hahahha.

Thanks again for the report instead of some insane off topic rants.

Yeah Melissa is gorgeous and classy. Kind of tender looking which I like a lot. No kisses ha? I didn't know that wasn't in the menu. Problem with girls that hot is the inconsistency. Too bad she is not public yet. There are so many bad experiences with some board dudes that she doesn't want to risk it, she plays the family girl big time. Aleja in another hand she is, but she is going now into a BF period and her service goes from regular to terrible, this is base on numerous new reports. And NO she is not Giraldo, she is Suarez. Well known by many here.

[QUOTE=BayBoy;1580904]Speaking of restaurants, I've seen a lot of mongers who don't even look at a restaurant bill and see that the gratuity has already been put on the bill. Which is usually 10%. They just throw on a tip to whatever the amount is and don't realize they've already been charged.[/QUOTE]I see this 10% as all going to the management then them disbursing the propina as they see fit. A good company will give all or most of the tip to the worker but we all know how many will siphon off the most they can. Happens even in USA So I don; t like to give a whole nother 10% but of service good and with a smile I give them 5% cash under extra direct to the mesero / a.

And thanks so much for all your I believe post on the DR over there. Is a good place also.

The line up was not bad. The sad part about Fase 2 for me, only this month is that the grill is closed for renovations for few weeks. I like the food there and the mamsita that cooks and serves is very sweet.

My regulars were there. Judy, Stephanie and Catalina etc. I wanted to try someone new. I liked [B]Christina[/B]. Great body and very friendly attitude. She is a kisser and had a little bit of party supplies. She was great in the room. Totally relaxed and not a clock watcher. The bell rang at 45 minutes and we were in the room for another 10 minutes. Needless to say she deserved a propina. My buddy took another tall and shapely girl to the room. HE was very happy but I don't remember the name.

We stopped by at Lula Luneres, but the only reason we must have did that was because we were drunk. In that state any one should look beautiful but the talent there at 2 am is almost non existent.

Met some really fun people in his class and spent a lot of time hanging with them and doing several tours to cool place coffee farms and repelling down a waterfall. Told me it was his best vacation ever, did some casas but also had a few civilian older chicas that didn't want cash. Jorge arrived today and wants three nights of dates so that's what HE's got for Saturday night on out. Jim arrives tomorrow for three nights and threw me big cash and said lets roll with it tours, chicas the works! I'm booked until the 20th so look me up for Halloween and the rest of the year!

Thanks,

[QUOTE=CJackSparrow;1615919]I attacked on Cupid sites / I got expelled / offering hundreds of the most attractive one's 100.000 COP / day for one month, 3 M COP. $US 53/ day and $US 1600/ month.

Before I got expelled I got 44 positive answers. 44 negative one's, and many asking Why?

I simply don't have time for the whole process. It takes it's time to hunt a beauty down.

It is the third time I try a "money approach" on Cupid. I mention money and the girls are like flies all over me! If I send a romantic letter, who cares?!

100.000 COP don't buy you much normally. But with the 1 month deal, it will be 3 M COP, 5 times a minimum salary and 3 times more than a normal salary.

For doing very little. But just the service I really need. Without spending more time searching, flirting, waiting, transport etc etc. It's a day's project having sex with a new girl. That time must be used efficiently in the long run. After a while, after some trips, it's not exciting anymore meeting new girls, which practically are the same, but marriage isn't an option either...[/QUOTE]LOL many times see-Jack! I really do like the "calculus" of your logic. Can this be nominated for a thread of distinction?
