Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Knowledge;1745709]Good advice, check the meter before your trip begins. I'm not so sure how much of the rest is borderline superstition. Old vs. Young driver, just dropped off passenger (less chance he is a serial killer?) . Medellin taxistas are not nearly the worst of Latin America. Their accident rate and courtesy level compare well with other places around the region in my experience. Anyway, if I were worried about taxista shenanigans, I would opt for uber. The drivers are checked outand always polite. You get a fare quote in advance and it is always cheaper than a taxi. You don't have to worry about having cash or the right amount of small bills or how much to tip or any of the other stressful nonsense. Don't get me wrong, taxis have their place and uber can be hard to get in certain neighborhoods but the convenience and security erases a lot of distractions.[/QUOTE]I've been here about twenty days now and have probably ridden in taxis at least forty times and have not had any bad experiences. The majority of the drivers have been polite and respectful with no games like I don't have change etc. And have been very helpful. The only strange experience I had was trying to catch a taxi late at night besides Botero Plaza. Sometimes the taxi's would be empty and wouldn't even stop. I don't understand this, perhaps somebody has some insight as to why the taxi's wouldn't stop.

I think I know the answer. Based on what more than one taxista told me, some of them do not like working after dark in marginal neighborhoods. I suspect taxis that don't stop are on their way to the safety of their homes. I think there is no problem getting a taxi late at night in Poblado in front of the Hard Rock for example. Taxis carry cash and I think everybody knows there are some characters who hang around Botero Plaza at night you don't necessarily want to be in an enclosed space with.

They are likely going to a customer that has A) Called and asked for a taxi. B) Used one of the apps such as Tappsi.

I stopped dealing with Taxi's and I use Uber now, its actually cheaper too.

I will come back to all of you that want info. about Emily.

[QUOTE=CJackSparrow;1746680]I met Laura; and we both express the desire to get married 2016.[/QUOTE]Why? Did you already want to get married in 2016 when you met her then through casual conversation she also mentioned wanting to get married in 2016? Were each of you just itching to get married then voila, met each other and decided to do it together? What does she have that you just have to marry her? What do you have that she just has to marry you?

Just remember the words of George Carlin, "I have no sympathy for “single dads.” Most of these guys got married because they wanted steady pussy. Well, steady pussy leads to steady babies, and steady babies tend to cut down the pussy. So, once the novelty wears off, the marriage disappears. Single dads. Big fuckin’ deal. ".

[QUOTE=HangerOne;1746530]I stopped dealing with Taxi's and I use Uber now, its actually cheaper too.[/QUOTE]Were there quite a few? Most people in MDE can't afford a car so how was the experience? Easy to hail one? What times of days is best? Nights? Average fare say like from Poblado to El Centro as an example?

I wrote also; High risk of failure.

And a failure it was.

Back to square one; New life! Not so bad after all!

Like I said, taxis have their place but for me only when Uber is not available. For example, Uber to and from the airport is about the same cost as a taxi.

The average fare from El Centro to Parque Lleras has always been around 10,000 COP unless at rush hour. Hailing cabs not usually a problem except at rush hour. Worst time to travel in a cab is during the morning and afternoon commute into / out of the City, Take the Metro whenever you can, it's cheap at 2,000 COP and much faster than a cab!

Had a overnight red eye flight into MIA then onto MDE. Got to the land of paradise around 1 pm. Got settled in El Castillo and headed down to the mansion. There were about 10 girls there. There was this one that was just my type. Huge tits and big butt. We headed back up the hill to my room. Every girl I ask never minds walking. I always offer the taxi option just to be nice. They always insist we walk. Fine with me too. In the room she was very nice. Very GFE we went at it for a while. She said she came very easily so that was nice. It took me close to the hour to finally cum. I assumed we were pretty much done. But then she started warming me up for round 2. What a gal! So we went at it again. Another 45 min or so. Finally some of the other girls started calling her that they wanted to go to Santa Fe to eat. So we wrapped things up. Had a nice long shower together and headed out.

Since I had time to kill until 8 pm for FB date. I headed to Oviedo ate a steak dinner did some shopping walked around got money, got some toiletries. And headed back to Castillo. FB girl arrived a little early which was shocking. And she was just a killer in the sack. This girl loves to dress up. And did a whole lingerie show for me. Another very very GFE girl. Thats 2 for 2 so far on day 1. We played music and just had a nice long session. Then again like the last girl started to get me ready for round 2. Theres no leche left in me. But I wasnt going to decline. We went at again for good while. This girl was a trooper. I woulda gave up a long time ago. In the end I just faked it. We had been going at it for over 2 hours.

Took a quick nap and headed to the mansion. There were some good choices but not in any hurry to bring one back. Spent most of the night with this one chick from my last 3 some. On my last trip. Everything looked good then she says she has to go Llueras for something and will return in 1 hour made it clear I would not wait for more than 1 hour. As the hour passed I pulled this thin nice figure girl. No big titts no big butt. But it was closing time and said what the hell. She ended up being amazing in bed. Blew me away. She also said she comes very quickly. I was not expecting this at all. So we had a great session. The GFE was incredible. After session was over. It was about 2 am. I said if you don't want to go all the way home. Feel free to stay here. So she did and we went at it again until 4 am. In the morning we showered had another round and treated her to breakfast. So far day 1 has been good. On day 2 now going to try to catch a couple of my favorites.

I've aware of the regular taxi's. I was assuming that Uber was set up in Colombia and I wanted to see if what the difference would be compared to the cab. I've traveled in both taxi and metro. Even took a bus from Santa Marta to Barranquilla. LOL. Mass transit was super cheap. I think it was like $12 one way from Santa Marta. LOL.
