Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1819688]You're kidding or what?? DEVOID OF ANYTHING TO DO?? Forget TripAdvisor and all the public forums!
There are MANY interesting activities that make Medellin one of the best places to spend time at day (topped by lovely local girls at night). Actually, I believe Medellin is one of the best places I know worldwide to relocate to WORK and LIVE. (not just to retire, I mean really work and live a regular life).

Let me enumerate just the firsts things to see and visit at day time that come to my mind:
- Museo de Antioquia (with the museum in Bogota, it is where most master pieces of Botero are shown).
- Parque Explora.
- Sitting at a cafe at Sabaneta.
- Parque Arvi (take the cablecar and enjoy the view).
- Enjoy the beauty of Antioquia! Take a bus to Santa Fe de Antioquia, stroll around, eat, visit the Puente (one full day).
- Another good tour in Antioquia is to Guatape' (one full day).
- Spend a whole afternoon strolling around the center. You will not see so many beauties around you anywhere else in the world.
- If you speak Spanish and are brave enough, you might also enjoy playing pool (billiard) in a fantastic club right in the center, almost at the side of Museo de Antioquia, 1 block or less from where poor souls sniff glue and survive in the street.
(go with someone).[/QUOTE]IMO, for a metro area of 4 Million, it's not a particularly interesting city. Having said that, the chicas are beautiful and the weather is just about perfect.

I do like your last suggestion. Every visit, I try to hit the billiards places en Centro right near the glue-sniffing areas. Thought I was going to get knifed the last time! Agreed -- don't do this unless you speak Spanish and aren't scared easily!

Another thing to do in Medellin that hasn't been mentioned, is to ride the metro system. Its probably one of the most modern mass transit systems in South America. A very smooth ride. Doesn't cost that much. It runs the length of Medellin, and also you can go up into the hills and get great views of the city in 2 places. In one of those areas you can go to a national park (can't think of the name of it) on the back end and walk around and enjoy the scenery.

[QUOTE=RubMeister100;1819682]Yeah, no kidding!

FFS, people should really just lighten up and be friendly and helpful. More effort is put into being smartasses and trying to show ho stupid the other guy is etc that just answering a question.

Too bad. Because the information these guys have and could share is way more impressive than their lame attempts to appear wise and cool. We re grown men and don't need to be scolded or taught lessons on life.[/QUOTE]It is kind of sad really I'm a newer guy on ISG (not a senior member yet) and every time I come on here over the last year is constant bickering, one upping, and chastising. I noticed several comments on other Colombia boards where guys (who have serious knowledge to drop) say they would like to get involved on this board but stay away because of the criticizing and fighting that goes on. Plus god forbid someone ask a question that is too basic or obvious because you will be cut down and made 2 feet tall. Lets try and remember the what the true spirit of what this board should be. Helping others, providing a medium to share hard to find information, and to re-live and let our brothers live the experiences we all have. For there is one thing we all agree on. We love chicks!

Hello gentlemen!

Me and my buddy (both Russian, living in the USA) are going to visit Medellin for 5 days. This is going to be our first trip to Colombia and we are really excited about it. We have booked a nice apartment in Poblado area through AirBnb website, so we would like to bring ladies over to our place occasionally. Since we both do not speak Spanish, I believe.

The easiest way for us would be to use escort agencies which do outcalls. I have been seeing agency girls here in the USA A lot, and so far have had a positive experience. Could you please recommend a few trusted, well-known agencies which you guys have personally used (and names of the ladies you have seen)? Of course I have used Google to find a few, and it seems like all their girls are hot, and rates are reasonable, but I'm worried a bit about bait-and-switch and security issues.

We definitely will be visiting numerous brothels during the day (like new life, energy, etc.), I've heard Face Dos strip club is a must see, but we are more interested in "renting".

Ladies for extended period of time, say 4-5 hours, or perhaps, for a whole night, going out to eat / drink, play at home after. If there any other alternatives to escort agencies.

Please let me know, your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[QUOTE=Puntz79;1819731]More than half of your last dozen posts are about people not being nice. Perhaps you should take the hint. And not take it so personally. It's an online forum, about sex around the world. The things that we say can be perceived in many different ways, so stop taking it so personally and pretending to be the guy that feels like he must advise people to be nice and how they should behave. Some of us went to high school. Decades ago. We're here to respond, whether it's in a nice way or a not nice way, that should be the least of your concerns.[/QUOTE]I am surprised just how obnoxious contributors to this thread can be when you ask a simple question. This is a forum about pay sex and we are here to receive info and advice about getting our rocks off as well as reciprocally returning the favor.

I asked a simple question about how common it is for working girls in Colombia to accommodate a certain sexual desire that is overwhelmingly prevalent in mainstream porn and am surprised about the number of condescending moralistic responses I got.

For example I asked the question 2 xs in brief sentences and was accused of badgering the board and so on. Quite frankly a lot of people here need to lighten up for this thread to be a congenial place to share information.

It is only a desire because you saw it in a movie. As Ordell Robbie said in Jackie Brown, "The killer had a .45, so THEY want a .45. But what most motherfuckers don't know is that a .45 got a serious jamming problem."

I will repost a video that I posted in the Philippines thread a few weeks ago of Koreans watching Western porn for the first time. I posted another video before that about the out takes in porn that you do not see in the finished product. I.E. The literally shitty anal accidents.

But all guys are saying is to RTFF. Meaning do your homework and if you have any questions after that then feel free to ask. Before even my first trip to Medellin (I have only been twice by the way) and before I did any research on the place I had heard of two names that it seemed went hand in hand, Aussie Greg and The Mansion. So for someone to come on here and hastily inquire about Aussie Greg having no idea that he runs The Mansion I'm sure most regular posters' jaws dropped. Like seriously dude, how could you even know about Aussie Greg without knowing about The Mansion?

?[/QUOTE]If you don't like anal sex that is fine, I am not asking you nor anyone else to try it. You do realize that it is not nearly as uncommon as you imply, have you ever heard of Brazil, where according to anthropological research more than half of non pros practice it in their sex lives?

I actually have a lot of respect for you given your response to other recent queries, however I do consider your response here to be quite moralistic and one that I would not expect to see on a forum dedicated overwhelmingly to pay sex.

Anal sex is practiced numerous times around the world without shitty accidents. Have you ever had blood on your penis from vaginal sex just before the advent of your partner's period? I certainly have. I love giving a woman oral sex, but many people find that disgusting. This is really not the place for moral preaching.

I really don't want to start an argument and reiterate that I have enormous respect to your other responses to recent queries.

[QUOTE=MattPsyche;1819782]For work as well? Would you please elaborate it, if you care to explain?[/QUOTE]I go to Medellin for work, about 1 or 2 times per year. Very unfortunately, I cannot go there more often. Don't ask me where and what. Let's say something more intellectual than manual.

What I have found out in this beautiful city, since my first visit in 2006 (WOW! Time flows so quickly) is that it has made ENORMOUS progress.

Twenty years ago or something, it was even not advisable to take a cab from the airport, or drive a car at night from the airport to downtown, due to poor security of the main roads.
I remember my first time walking around the center down the metro at night. SCARY!

In the last 10-20 years, the government worked very well to this regard. It is now much safer. The metrocable helped to integrate the population of poor barrios uphill in the main city. Police is not corrupted and works well. (I say this because I am routinely stopped, interrogated and searched at least ONCE every time I go to Colombia. I've never been asked a tip. Only smiles and pats on shoulders. Sure after my pockets have been emptied).

The economy is booming. The paisa are not only very friendly but also extremely industrious. And I say this by direct experience. They are very efficient in all activities.
Paisa do not like Bogota and "rollos" (and vice versa). They see them as inefficient, bureaucratic, slow, etc.

Universities are good and students prove among best ones when they spend a period of studies in USA or Europe.
I guess that the 99% of readers of this forum never visited EAFIT or UPB or other major universities in Medellin, but it would be an eye-opener for those who think they go to "third world" to exhibit the power of the dollar with local poor girls.
I may just advise people to try to see more than local "casas".

Years ago I attended a conference at the convention center in Plaza Mayor. Did you see it? What a flawless and efficient organization! Everything was running like a clock. And the staff kept smiling at international attendees from the first minute to the last one.

Combo wrote "IMO, for a metro area of 4 Million, it's not a particularly interesting city. " Let me argue: did you have ever visit St. Louis, Kansas City, or on a larger scale even Dallas, Forth Worth, Houston,...??
What can you do in Dallas, if you don't have a car and don't want to drive 50 km? And what can you do, after having spent 1 hour in car? (I was there one week. It was frankly a shock.).

Medellin offers *quality of life*, from the entertainment, to the healthy environment, to the work efficient environment whatever is your profession (of course, I assume some well-paid employment), to low cost of life, the friendliness of the people, etc.
Should I relocate (my country is a "good" one anyway, and I have not many reasons to relocate, except escaping) I would definitely choose Colombia, if I want to couple an active work life with everything else.

Question for you Blackpage: RE: "Police is not corrupted and works well. (I say this because I am routinely stopped, interrogated and searched at least ONCE every time I go to Colombia. ".

I have spent about three months in Medellin over the last year and have had no interaction with police. I visit el centro most days. Just curious why you are "routinely stopped"? BTW, nice post on the changes you've seen over the last ten years!

[I]Tell me about EAFIT, so just go to the university and talk to the girls there?[/I]

No, that was not a hint for finding easy girls willing to sell pussy to any [i]gringo arrecho[/i].
Let me be more clear:
No, that was not a hint for finding easy girls willing to sell pussy to you.
I meant to say that those universities are good places to study, well organized and with good teachers, where the Colombian upper-class young generation gets prepared for a successful career, from the BSc to the PhD level.
My advice was "Go to see what is Colombia, if the best you have seen so far is Phase II".

BTW, nice post on the changes you've seen over the last ten years![/QUOTE]That is interesting. Trust me: I do not look like a thug (in spite of the debate some months ago about me being "Dart Veder of Medellin nights".

In spite of this, I've been stopped at least once on all my visits to Colombia so far.
It happened in CTG (usually at 3 am in the street that goes to Opera, where police waits for coming tourists), in BOG (my taxi was stopped last time around 1am, and also one time I was searched at Santa Fe), and in MDE.

You might be curious about MDE. So, if I dig in my memory my more recent visits:
- my taxi was stopped while going back to Poblado at 2 am from some place at West of the river, where I went to eat some meat in a roadside asadero (at glorietas, they prepare very good meat on charcoal until 2 am and 4 am on weekends);
- I was stopped in Centro while I was simply walking around daytime;
- I was stopped near Parque de los Periodistas, again at day time.

I never had a single problem. They simply check ID (I keep a copy of passport with my national ID), ask why I am in town, search my pockets and wallet for drugs. I never use drugs, so it's easy to convince them I am not into illegal activities. All searches always end up in pats on shoulders, smiles, and reciprocal wishes for a successful night.

BlackPage -.

I've spent cumulatively several months in Colombia and I've never been searched or asked for ID. And I by no means limit myself to Poblado. For whatever reason, you must attract policia.

Yes Dallas is one incredibly uninteresting place. Mde beats it. No offense intended, obviously I enjoy Mde. But I don't think it's a particularly exciting city beyond the chicas and the weather. Bit those are two important things!

When there is a gringo at a bad place he is not supposed to be at, police tends to search him out of curiosity. They are always bored.

Thanks for the explanation. I have a more reserved / less positive opinion about the education and sophistication of the people in Medellin. But it is a good writing. Enjoyed reading the post. Thank you.
