Medellin Reports

Such orthodoxy on this forum, it makes me laugh. I think BrazilSoccer made a few valid points. I avoid spending more than I have to but I don't spend a lot of time bargain hunting while on vacation. I do it when I'm back at home. It's a technique I use to cope with the boredom.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;1889631]If your referring to BrazilSoccer he is the real deal as I on two past trips have met up with him on 4 different occasions in El Centro.

I'm not aware of people on this board calling him out. The reality is that very few on this board are in tune with "El Centro" like he is.

In terms of "Lucas" this is not another word for the Peso like dinero or plata for money but for the amount of 1,000 Pesos.

It's kind of like the term "Benjamin Franklin" which a gringo would understand to be $ 100 US.

We all can learn a lot from BrazilSoccer's posts in terms of living cheap in Medellin.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=BigBossMan;1889832]1 luca = 1000 pesos. It is a slang term and you see it written only occasionally.[/QUOTE]I lived in Buenos Aires for eight years and never heard that term used. Of course, 1. 000 argie pesos was a lot of money back then. All I ever heard was the term roca for 100 pesos (Presidente Roca's portrait is on the 100 peso bill).

The term luca was new to me too. None-the-less, with 5 minutes of internet research, I discovered that "luca" is in fact used for money in several South American countries. In Colombia specifically it is considered "low class" vernacular which shouldn't come as any surprise for El Centro. Besides Colombia, it is also used in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, etc. The association with 1000 pesos is also correct.

[QUOTE=Rodeo9112;1889761]Ha! Glad to hear I'm not that much out of the loop on the terminology! I hope this dude finds the acceptance he needs in writing fake reports. Geez! How hard is it to learn a country's currency?[/QUOTE]I find it hard to believe people think that BrazilSoccer's reports are fake. I have met him personally four times in El Centro and what he's been saying is spot on as I have spent several weeks there myself. Just because he's using a terminology for money "lucas" doesn't mean that he's faking reports.

[QUOTE=EasyEase;1889868]Hi fellow mongers,

This is my first trip to Colombia / Medellin.

I booked this Apartment near Lleras Park called "Modern Apartments", here is a link.

Did anyone of you stay at this place? Any negative or positive experience?

Thank you and have a great day.

"Me alegro la haya pasado bien, pero por esa guita casi dos lucas hay en bsas unas diosas, super completas que te parten la cabeza. Why ademas por una hora. Fijate las xp en el foro".

Maybe you can translate for me. Something like "For 2000 pesos, she must be a goddess?

Maybe those writers are not Argentinians. When I googled it, it says the term began in Chile.

[QUOTE=ElMechanico;1888483]Would you mind elaborating on this a bit? How does one "Anchor" anything inside a safe?

Thanks,

El Mechanico[/QUOTE]I do not see a reply from the original author, so here goes, I always do as he explained. I use 1/16 and 5/64 stainless steel wire, the type I use is used for fishing with downriggers for salmon west coast of Canada, the wire holds a 20 to 50 pound lead cannonball. I carry about 5 in various lenghts from 1 foot to 15 feet, the longer ones for my laptop. If no safe in the room I anchor my Pacsafe to the bedframe, the wire has loops on each end fastened with brass crimps. The wire is looped around the door hinges of the safe and then attached to your Pacsafe bag. Google for Pacsafe, sold in most travel supply stores and online.

Question for you all, how do you propose I swing this. I am going to medellin and am going to see my GF. But, I know two girls there who want to do a threesome and sleep over as well.

I want to be able to swing the threesome a few nights but not have my GF find out! I was thinking either (1) rent a second apartment or just make sure I clear out of my space by 10 am.

Anyone got ideas on how I can swing this?

Is there a hotel I can rent for three or anything?

Any fake reporting though, well, that's still not cool.

I think the best bet is to go to a short-term motel and do it there for five or six hours. If you absolutely need more time than that, you can certainly find a cheap apartment or hotel room a night or two. There have been several times when I've had both an apartment and a hotel room for at least a few nights.

Don't shit where you eat. I've had some close calls in the past that I would have rather avoided and could have avoided by being in another place instead of my primary apartment / hotel room.

Thanks for hinting this out.

[QUOTE=Bart1;1889948]The wire is looped around the door hinges of the safe and then attached to your Pacsafe bag. Google for Pacsafe, sold in most travel supply stores and online.[/QUOTE]OK, I understand the premise of the Pacsafe. So. The stuff inside the safe is not actually 'anchored down'. The door to the safe is anchored by the PacSafe. Is that correct?

Thanks,
