Blowing in the Wind
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1919751]How many times shall we repeat the same thing
Before everyone will understand
Yes how many times it will be repeated
That no upper-class hotels do welcome "casual guests"?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
To not see deluxe motels or apartment for rent?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.[/QUOTE]For the record, the song 'Blowing in the Wind' was written by Bob Dylan (1962) and he sang the song. But Peter, Paul and Mary's version probably gained the most notoriety and fame. Yes I'm an old fart and remember when the song came out. But good analogy Black Page.

But hell I feel like I'm in my twenty's when I troll El Centro looking for a wife!

[QUOTE=Quagmire1974;1917060]Respectfully, yes and no. [B]Mongers[/B] refer to it as "El Centro. " Regular tourists refer to it as "Ciudad Vieja" or, more commonly, "Ciudad Amurallada. " I know, I was there for 7 days.[/QUOTE]7 days wow! Maybe you can give me some pointers? Only been living in Medellin for the last 5 years and El Centro for the last 4. Even real estate agencies call it El Centro. Somebody been blowing smoke up your ass. Or something else maybe?

[QUOTE=SavePros321;1922831]They were talking about Cartagena, not Medellin.[/QUOTE]I was indeed talking about Cartagena, not Medellin.
I'm monitoring multiple threads for upcoming trips in October, December, and early next year and I will say this: the level of hostility and arrogance shown on the Medellin thread is not seen on any other thread that I'm monitoring. When I post a comment, I'm genuinely trying to help someone. Unfortunately and sadly, some of you (like Napalm) enjoy being Keyboard Warriors / Trolls. That's fine, do what you do and say what you say. I'm not thin-skinned and easily butt hurt like a few people on this thread. Mongers planning trips to Medellin, Cali, Bogota, Cartagena, and San Andres Island are welcome to contact me via PM (and thanks to those who already have) if they'd like help planning their trips. And to you Keyboard Warriors / Trolls, stop clogging up this thread with negative commentary. Start posting [B]Your trip reports[/B] and help people, which is what this thread is all about anyway.

Hey how is the Lineup at Energy recently? Heading there end of this month and that's always been my favorite. There was this super blanco red head with bolt ones and an angel face that I regret not seeing a year ago. Never again!! If I see her there I'm soo down!

Going next month
Hello,
I've been looking on this site for the last year and received some really good info for Nicaragua. I've been reading through the thread and have yet to find info on Brothels, working girl houses that do not charge tourist prices and have that sweet Colombian ass. I keep hearing el centro to pick up a wife but I want a working girl. Also been looking online and keep seeing that I want to be around the Poblado area is where the fun is. I'm going to Air BNB my own place so should be okay to bring a chic back too. Any info on where I should go and what I should pay would be awesome.

Mde for your bd!
[QUOTE=Kh123;1924283]I said I went to Nicaragua and learned from here. I wanted info on Medellin for I'll be there next month for my birthday.[/QUOTE]That's not even close to what you said, you never said you 'went' to Nicaragua, but whatever. Your 2nd post was a little less ambiguous!
Do what I did, go back 2 years on this thread, to say, maybe Sept of 2014. Take 30 min / day & read 10-12 pages per day as well as the current days new posts (which have slowed down to almost nothing lately) and I can guarantee you 99% of your questions will be answered. You will find topics that interest you & some that don't. I did that for my July 4th trip & it was well worth the effort. I was impolitely told to RTFF after I asked a couple of newbie questions & was so glad I did. Some of the posts and tangents literally made me LOL, others were useless to my trip but most were quite informative! You get out of this forum what you put into it. The info is there & there are very few on here will spoon feed it to you! Good luck on your trip, be safe & Happy Birthday! What a great place to spend your BD. I actually left on my BD this past summer but not before 2 beautiful Paisas gave me a BD present to remember! Woo-hoo! Have fun man!

[QUOTE=Kh123;1924283]I said I went to Nicaragua and learned from here. I wanted info on Medellin for I'll be there next month for my birthday.[/QUOTE]Since you said you are going next month, we are all going to assume that you are smart enough to not have booked a trip to a place you know nothing about (I mean, who does that, right?) However, as assumptions go...
The best thing for you to do is this:
> Grab a beer, blunt, bong, cig, etc.
> Scroll down to the bottom of this page
> Next to the number "1", click "2"
> Read everything until you get to the bottom of that page. Then click the number "3"
> Repeat this process over the next few days until you get to page 30. You will then be all caught up with everything you need to know about anything Medallo, including how not to end up in a Colombian jail like Colombian Jake, or how to possibly avoid getting shot during a robbery attempt (in fact, in the event of a robbery, it is best that you understand the term "Ante Up". M.O.P. Does a great job of explaining just exactly what it means, lol:

If you want to become a Medellin Ninja, start at the first post from 2016 and work your way back to this page (which will probably be either page 2 or 10 by then, depending on how fast you read).

Easy and straightforward.
Next step is pay a membership in change of all that, and get the power to PM senior members (those who spent a significant amount of time in Medellin, say more than 7 days) for [i]specific questions[/i]. Enjoy ISG.

Hotel
If anyone is looking for a hotel. I stayed at the Hotel BH EL Poblado for a few nights and it was fairly nice. New modern hotel with a comfy room, good price and convenient location, right next to the Santa Fe mall. Best part, its chica friendly. I kind of like when they at least check their ID, but this place didn't even do that.
