So I'm here in Medellin during the holidays
Any advice for the newbie monger to Medellin? Am I SOL or is there anything I can do to prevent this trip from becoming a normal tourist trip?
I'm staying at the Mansion right now but understandably its pretty dead. I'm hoping more turn up later tonight but doesn't look likely.
Probably should have read the forums deeper to understand the monger dynamics during Christmas but couldn't come any other time.
Thanks.
Make the best of it-- read the forum and "Medellin List" now

Thanks.[/QUOTE]I would expect Friday, Saturday, Christmas, Monday to be completely dead at the Mansion and pretty much so at the cento casas as well. Midweek options should improve slightly, but still probably pretty shitty till after New Years. There will always be a need for food/rent money, but the creme of the crop will be spending the money they earned and saved from the weeks prior to Christmas. They will now want to be with their family and novios. Lucky for you most chicas are not excellent at managing their budgets and find they need to work to cover the daily expenses of living.
Hook up with a more experienced monger at the Mansion and hit the cento casas Monday & Tuesday. You also have plenty of time now to read the forum to make your search missions more productive. Numbers and quality will be down, but there will still be options. My guess is your Spanish is poor to nonexistent and as such I would focus on the day time cheap centro Casa options and the mid-tier Casas: Energy, Abydos & Blue Room. (most here favor Energy). Early in the week they will probably have 3-5 chicas to present and one should at least be acceptable.
Good Luck and remember to post a little report on your success / failures. Others will be very interested to learn exactly how slim are the pickings during this time period.
