[QUOTE=Hunglow1625] Gringo is a Spanish and Portuguese word used in Latin America to generally denote people from the United States[/QUOTE]In Brasil a gringo is anyone whose "brasilianess" is in doubt.
Brasilians make no differences between euros, north americans or any other nationality. I heard "gringo" being applied to a wide variety of people, including colombians and argentinians, and even africans.

Oh, c'mon guys, let's cut the crap about that word "gringo". Let's start a discussion why they call me: chino. I would like to see scientific and non- scientific thesis', lectures and discourses on the word "chino".
OMFG, what a bunch of nags!
Hi guys,
As usual, having a ball in "Medellin Paradise", but conservative compared to some of the stuff that some of my guests accomplish, woooooow!
I'll start with my latest 2 friends/guests, April 1st (names ommitted to protect the innocent)! I took my friends out to El Centro, as they have vacationed here 5 years in a row, they have lots of experience! They had a rental car, Clio, 12 days for about 1. 3 million cop ($600US)! We first stopped to get something to eat near Bar El Faro, as I have a friend that's a street vendor with green eyes who has really cheap prices for good food, gives me her "chimba" whenever I want, free of charge, and doesn't mind that I'm crazy about her daughter! I wanted to make sure she understood that!
We continued on to Bar El Faro area for a few minutes, then stopped in on most of the Strip Tease bars in the main road on Parque Berrios, Conejitas, Las Americas, Maracaibo, Barra Ejecutiva, etc. We partied at Maracaibos till about 12AM, it was a Tuesday, ok, but slower than usual! We drove to San Diego area, my friends tried to pick up 3 hot tiny little "cuties", but since they dragged their feet too long we left! They drove to a corner near Fase ll where I had never been to and they picked up 2 of the cutest little blondes I have ever seen, high class cuties on the street, I was in shock! I thought I knew it all! They later told me that about ten of them, some even more true blondes hang around there! They took 4 of them while staying at the "Penthouse" before they moved in to My Place! We took these cuties back to My Place and my friend J didn't waist anytime in dragging both of them to the room, shortly after I told him I was starting to get. ! So my other guest and I decided to go down the stairs to La Mayorista Strip, where it took him less than 5 minutes to hook up with one of my friends from La Mayorista! I guess her "bursting breast" and short mini skirt with a hot "culo" might have had something to do with it!
I accompanied him back to My place, as I didn't feel like company at that moment and just chilled and had a couple beers and a few smokes while I waited for them! After sitting there for a few minutes one of the hot blondes with J came out in a towel and kind of dropped it a little, she asked me if I was next, but I said not yet! Shortly after the other blondie came out totally naked, she was drop dead gorgeous! Very proffessional girls, unafraid of their nudidity! My friend j took all kinds of videos with them which he was kind enough to share later! After he finished he took them down to help them get a Taxi (I have their number)! By the time he came up, my other friend had finished with his girl which was walking around in just a little skimpy towel! Well J, being the "stud" that he is immediately took her in also! I wish I was 32 again, he really made me feel "50" as I by no means have that much "leche"! And he was far from finished yet!
Well, S and I waited again until he was finished with her! S then stayed talking with her for a few minutes while J and I went down to La Mayorista Strip! It took J less than 4 minutes before he was pulling another "cutie" back to My Place, his 4th one in a couple of hours, but he was not done yet! Again I followed, feeling like a "parent", I was no longer the "star" of this show! Before we got up to My Place, S was comming down, so I stayed down with him! Immediately after we ran into Karolina, my ex-girl which now works for the Medellin Mansion! She said she was celebrating her 20th birthday! We invited her to My Place to party and she agreed happily! Earlier, my friend J had offer to "gift me" a cutie, but I had said no, was not in the mood, he was shocked, but by 3:30 AM I was in the mood, so I ran into the "ciggarrete" girl, non-pro, but likes me, and she went up with me! We partied with karolina for a bit, J did mostly, he already had finished with the last one! I went into the room with the "ciggarrette girl", definitely not a pro, hot body, but a bushel of her between her legs! Well, it was different, she stayed with me for an hour doing all kinds of fun stuff (running out of time for details)!
J then knocked on my door thinking she had left, after having seduced his 5th victim for the night, karolina! She was dressed really hot with the "maya" stockings! Too bad I didn't have enough "leche" for another one! J managed to do 5 girls I 4 hours and got videos from all of them, incredible, a "feat" this old "pro" has not yet accomplished, nor plans to at "50"! I take my hat off to the new generation of "studs" in La Mayorista! All in all it was a good night, even if I was on the "side lines" most of the night, at least I helped my guests'experience to be memorable!

Hi guys,
I will report on March 25 and 28th shortly as didn't have enough time to include it in my last report! I was afraid I would loose it because of the time constraints! I'm a slow writer! March 25th is a report with a "cutie" from Striptease Bar Las Americas after hanging out with my dear friend K, and May 28th was hanging out near My New Place Satellite with K and some other friends!
We went to "Luna Lunera", across the street, "Carboncitos Disco", same side of the street, and we ended the night at "Casa los Angeles" on the second floor of My new Place Satellite! There I finished the night with my bi-friend Sarah-Lysseth, a cute little 18 year old!

Greg, I know. Both Kevin and Albert have thanked me for all my raving. It allowed them to move on to bigger and better things than just a b&b, and they are doing great. So I certainly expect the Royal Thai Restaurant to do great!
As for Miss Phuket, I looked her up on the web, and. I would not be too proud of her. [url]http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/missphuket. Htm[/url]

Hi Mark,
Tried to PM you, but couldn't! Sorry guy I don't have time for Winging, I only "wing" My Place guests! I get a lot of guys that want to party, but I neither have the time nor the energy! It would be impossible as I get many requests!
You lost me guy with the "so You can show me how Medellin works" and the "remember this ain't the west coast of Florida" comments! Wish you lots of luck and adventures in your Travels!
Frank Casio!
[QUOTE=Mark Olaughlin]Wow yoy really seem to be a piece of work you sure do know your "culos"

Looking forward to our meeting so we can educate each other
You sound like a good wing-man and remember this aint the west coast of Florida

I am not sure what color their "uniforms" were when they took every last good look'n chica out of Great Britain?
Heading down from the 11th until the 15th. Does anyone know if bars and casas will be closed during this time? Is this a particularly slower period or is it business as usual. Any recommendations for plan B would be appreciated.
Thanks
Do casas continue working during Semana Santa?
It looks like some girls are leaving for holidays.
[QUOTE=from Medellin Lists]Elements Spa (Hotel El Continental), Carrera 50 # 52-08, Piso 4. 8+ Chicas. Prices: 70k Exotic Massage, 150k Chica. Tel: 251 23 67. Hours: 1pm to 9pm. [url]http://www.communitywalk.com/Medell...eHotel#00049i;I[/url] It has Nice roof top bar to sit and talk with the Chicas. They are all top of the line Chicas.[/QUOTE]First, taxi drivers do not know Hotel El Continental. Do not even mention it, they will try to bring you to the Intercontinental hotel. El Continental is very easy to find by the address, it's right in the Center, almost facing the Botero plaza, on a busy corner on a neighboring street. There is a big shopping mall next to it.
I would definitely change the description "They are all top of the line Chicas"
In my opinion, they are mostly average chicas, or slightly more than average. Mostly they are better looking than most chicas in casas, and there are no fat or ugly ones, but the word "top of the line" is definitely misleading.
Also a casa once in a while might have 1-2 better looking and performing chicas than Elements Spas. Actually I have met much better chicas in casas than in Elements Spa, but I can not generalize, I tried only 2 chicas from the Spa. One of them looked really hot and very young in her dress, nice face and awesome legs, but then when undressed she had a scar from a child birth, suggy tetas. Also it turned out she had that pussy smell. Although she was a nice chica, but not for the price. The second chica also looked better in her dress. When undressed she looked chubby. And nothing really special in sex. She was overly enthusiastic, she was of course faking it, so it was more a turn off.
These chicas should really go for "training" to Brazil.
The price 150K is kinda high for what you get. The positive side is that the place is pretty big, clean, looks nice compared to many casas. For extras. BBBJ, Culito they may ask a lot extra or just refuse. Although the first chica did a good BBBJ for free and for culito asked for extra 300K. , the second told me that she'd do BBBJ only if I become her novio, which I did not really want.
I guess the problem is that they already get a lot of money and therefore do not have extra incentive. In casas it is usually easy and cheap to get extras.
The top roof bar has a very nice view, and all people there are very friendly. The manager (an old lady) is very nice and asking for a feedback after a chica and trying to accomodate your taste.
However the bar charges outrages prices for drinks, the same as in the USA! They do accept credit cards, but there is a catch, they wanna add extra 20% to an already high bill.
I believe it is the same or related to organization as Fase II. They have coasters with Fase II promotions.
So in general, the place is very nice, great view on the roof, some good-looking chicas, but definitely not "top of the line", the prices unfortunately are really high. I would not go there again. They should cut the prices in half, then it would be a good place to hang out. I think they'd get much more business.

[QUOTE=Errol Flynn]Thanks for the report. I just wanted to add that I personally am happy if they charge 2,000 COP to view the girls, that's about 75 cents but it means I can walk away guilt free without choosing a girl.
Just my 75 cents.
Errol[/QUOTE]It probably makes some sense. But would should you be guilty? They should try to have a better quality girls so nobody walks away. And the girls also should know they should keep in shape.
[quote]Meanings
The Anglosphere: Latino migrants to the U.S. occasionally use the term as a more derogatory synonym of Anglo.[citation needed] however, it is also said the term may apply to anyone who lives in the U.S. regardless of race.
In Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia, and Venezuela the term applies exclusively for U.S. citizens, widely accepted as a colloquial demonym. Depending on the context, it may or may not be pejorative.
In Central America, the word is not pejorative. In Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama the term refers to U.S. citizens (regardless of race).[1] In the Dominican Republic it also means a non-free range store bought chicken (pollo gringo), it's also a way to call the people from the United States, often derogatorily.[citation needed] In Puerto Rico, the term refers to U.S. citizens in the U.S. mainland.
In the countries of South America where this term is used, the word is not pejorative. In some countries it may be used to refer to any foreigner who does not speak Spanish as a native language, or in Brazil, someone who does not speak Portuguese as a native language, but in other countries it is used just or especially to refer to U.S. citizens; it may also be used to describe a blond or brunette white native person with soft facial features and light colored eyes. For instance, it is a popular nickname.[1]
In Uruguay it is used to refer to citizens of the United States in a non pejorative way.
In Peru the word gringo is used all over the country among the white and non white population. It is used to refer to White people, particularly those with fairer features. It is not pejorative.
In Ecuador the word gringo can be used to refer to foreigners from any country, not only the United States, though the likelihood of being described as a gringo increases the closer one's physical appearance is to that of a stereotypical northern European.
In Argentina it was used in the past to refer to all European immigrants. In modern times the term is mostly applied to refer to anglo people, including people from the US or the UK. It can also be used to refer to small and medium farmers from the Pampas, often of European descent, that still use it as a nickname, denoting their whitish complexion.
Etymology
Folk etymologies
There are many popular but unsupported etymologies for this word, some of which relate it to the United States Army.
Mexican-American War
During the Mexican-American War began, hundreds of Irish-Americans fought on the side of Mexico. Sent by the U.S. government initially to fight against Mexico, they came to doubt why they were fighting a Catholic country. Resentful over mistreatment from their generally Anglo-Protestant officers, these Irish (and other immigrants) deserted the U.S. Army and joined forces with Mexico. Led by Captain John Riley of County Galway, they called themselves St. Patrick's Battalion (in Spanish, San Patricios).[3] Green was the color of the Irish, and the soldiers sang their version of an earlier Scottish tune "Green Grows the Laurel", which they called "Green Grow the Lilacs". It told the story of an Irish soldier who'd fallen in love with Mexican lass. When the song became popular with American cowboys, those listening across the border in Mexico couldn't hear the words clearly, only the repeated "Green Grow". Over time this changed into the term "Gringo" (Green Go), later used to refer to people from the United States.[4]
A more popular theory among Mexicans is derived from the lack of popularity of the American dollar (called also green) in those days due to many undetermined reasons (for example, a weak dollar compared to the Mexican peso). When Americans wanted to use their dollars in Mexico, people did not accept those, saying "green, go", which later was transformed into "gringo".
One more theory says the word is derived from the word "Griego". This word means "Greek" in Spanish and Mexicans thought that the Americans spoke Greek, or that the language of the Americans was Greek to them but it seems evident that this was a slur on the part of the Anglo-Americans, who wanted to hide the fact that the Irish and the Mexicans had joined forces and well as to slur the Mexicans by making it seem like none of them spoke English. Certainly, there were Americans that spoke Spanish[citation needed], so the case for this etymology is dubious.
"Greek" hypothesis
According to the Catalan etymologist Joan Coromines, gringo is derived from griego (Spanish for "Greek"), the archetypal term for an unintelligible language (a usage found also in the Shakespearean "it was Greek to me" and its derivative "It's all Greek to me"). From referring simply to language, it was extended to people speaking foreign tongues and to their physical features — similar to the development of the ancient Greek word βάρβαρος (bárbaros), "barbarian."[5][6][7] Still, scholars are not in agreement about the correct origin of this word.
"Wheelwright" hypothesis
When William Wheelwright built the railroad from Caldera to Copiapo in Chile, see: History of rail transport in Paraguay, the workers were trained to stop on red lights and to go on green lights. But they did not understand English, so William would repeatedly say:
"Green - Go Green - Go Green - Go"
And therefore all they remembered was "Gringo" and began calling him that.
Brazil
In Brazil, the meaning and use of gringo differs significantly from the Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.
Etymologically, the word is documented as not native to the European Portuguese language and is actually borrowed from Spanish since the 19th century at least. Thus the Greek reference is reinforced there as the word "grego" for Greek in Portuguese (without the "i") would not have given "gringo." Also in Brazilian or even Portuguese popular culture, someone unintelligible is traditionally said to speak Greek (sometimes German or, much more recently, Chinese).
This is also reflected in that the word usage is not naturally widespread and only generally in regions exposed to tourism like Rio de Janeiro. There, the word means basically any foreigner, North American, European or even Latin American, though generally applying more to any English-speaking person and not necessarily based on race or skin color but rather on attitude and clothing. The word for fair skinned and blond people would be rather "Alemão" (i.e., German).
In São Paulo, the word is used to refer to any foreigner at all. It is also used as "gringa," meaning any other country than Brazil.
In English
"Gringo" has been in use in the English language since the 19th century.[8] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of the term in an English source is in John W. Audubon's Western Journal of 1849;[8] Audubon recalls that he and his associates were derided and called "Gringoes" while passing through the town of Cerro Gordo, Veracruz.[9] The earliest recorded use of the word in an English-language context is in an 1871 article from the Albuquerque, New Mexico newspaper The Republican Review, which describes an assault by three Mexican American men on an evidently Anglo-American woman, whom they called "a gringo *****."[8]
Other uses
In Mexican cuisine, a gringa is a flour tortilla taco al pastor with cheese, heated on the comal and then served with a salsa de chile (chilli sauce).
In the 1950s, the blue fifty Mexican peso bill was called an ojo de gringa ("gringa's eye").[10][/quote]But the way I see it when a Colombian calls you a Gringo they are saying "Target". Just as the Three Card Monte dealers do see on the streets of NYC. SUCKERS. It also will tell you, you will never truely be acepted.
I know when I was married my ex in-laws used to introduce me as Yerno but once my ex-wife ran with the money I became the Gringo. If you think this is not used as derogatory and pregudicial you are wrong.
If you want to use the green term you might be better in saying Green-go-money-stay. Once again green is not a Spanish word you might as well say Verdigo because my wife stole our money so quickly my head was spinning.
[QUOTE=Pepe Tolete]The term gringo was originated in countries with US occupation. The soldiers, dressed in green, would be shouted at to go home. Hence, "green go home" became "Gringo" and it stuck.
