You have latino women hiding in a churches in the USA who have lived here 20 years. Right or wrong this is all over the latino television and newspapers. Latinos are mad how they are being treated in the USA and if you think business as usual that is not going to happen. Does not matter if prostitution is legal. Not for you it is not. Things changing fast.
I wanted to finish the trip strong. After a SJO trip that ended just days before shipping out for MDE, I came in without a full load of leche, and catching a minor cold at the end did not help. So, I skipped a morning and afternoon session, and waited for Oober Driver. If she did not show up, I could fall back on a couple of FB prepagos. However, Oober Driver is very reliable, both as a provider and a driver, and she was looking at two sessions and a trip to the airport, for a total of 500 k cop plus reimbursement for tolls, gas, and parking fees. So I spent the day hanging out with wingman and chilling out.
The previous night, I met up with another monger staying at the Castillo at Parque Lleras. He had heard that Hooters was having a 2-for-1 wing special. When we got there and found out it was not true, he recommended we go to Thai restaurant at the top of the park with the high balcony. While I like eating in the open air, the local touts and beggars have gotten out of control. You are trying to eat a nice meal, enjoy the street side view and open air, and then these people bother the hell out of you. The most obnoxious of them is the guy selling the silly hats. "Paisa! Paisa! Paisa!" he keeps bleating, even after you tell him you are not interested. Lleras was pretty tout-free up until 3 years ago. This restaurant gives you a good view of the park and distance from the touts.
So, going to this restaurant was a good idea. (I think it is called Thaico.) While I was surprised the menu was not very Thai-oriented, my new friend pointed out that, since we were there before 7 pm, there were numerous good entrees that were half price. I got the Mustard Steak, he got the Swiss Steak. A good steak, fries, and salad for just 14,900 k cop got us a good meal and a good deal. They had fresh made pineapple juice. I got one, enjoyed it, and ordered another. The second was kinda watery. Oh, well. The only downside was when the owner of the place was otherwise occupied and the waiter was settling up our bill. He started wheedling me for a tip when he brought me the bill, over and above the "service charge" included in the bill, and when I refused, he made two more pitches when he brought the credit card machine, and when he gave me the cancelled bill. Annoying.
The sun went down as we left the restaurant. From our restaurant perch, we spotted a pretty, slim, and blond girl walking around the park. She was approaching men on the sidewalk, approaching men sitting at Juan Valdez coffee, and clients sitting street side at Hooters. She was very young looking. She was approached by a police officer, and it appeared she handed over her ID card, before he let her go back to what she was doing. As we started leaving the park, we walked close enough to get a good look at her. Very, very young looking. I walked my buddy to the edge of the park area before heading back to my apartment. She tried to catch my eye. Later, on the park sidewalk proper, she was talking to a tourist, but, mid approach, she turned my way from him, and from 20 feet away went into a "Hey, baby, etc. " pitch to me.
Was she just a young looking 18 year old? Or was she a police decoy "bait?" Didn't know, didn't care. Park Lleras is no longer for us. Aside from a few nice restaurants and bars, it is, at best an attractive nuisance, and at worst a minefield. First of all, since I have been coming there since 2009, it was never a place for mongers to find talent. Perhaps, in the old days, it was a place to take a date to dinner or lunch, but back then, we stuck out like sore thumbs in an era when a busy night at the park attracted 200-300 people at most. Now that backpackers, "sandalistas," and denizens of $15 a night hostels can pack 3,000 people (and 50 cops) into the area in search of decriminalized pot and a high-end "spring break" experience, Parque Lleras has little to offer us. I watched the ugly gringas walking around in their hemp clothing and faux Rastafarian dreadlocks, reeking of Patchouli oil, and wondered who was passing around the stencils being used to put up the "Say NO! To the sex tourist" designs near the doorways of businesses. Medellin became safe enough to become a "chic" vacation spot for trust fund babies and their less well funded millennial brethren, and the chance to hook up with under millennials from other countries in a hostel bunk bed under a cloud of semi-legalized Colombian marijuana. Not our scene, man. This trip, I only went to Lleras a couple of times, always in the day or early evening before the crowds show up.
Oober Driver showed up early. I expected her after 8 pm, but she got out of class early, and showed up before 7:30. She was hungry, and did not wait for me make us a salad, so she dived into the fridge and made herself a sandwich. Like a nice girlfriend, we settled in for a comfortable dinner and a movie. Flipping through the channels, she found the beginning of "Castaway. " Tom Hanks was in Moscow in 1996, trouble shooting a FedEx center. He opens a package, pulls out a timer, and shows them that the package arrived from its destination on the other side of the world in 87 hours. She never saw the movie before, but had seen parodies about Hank's co-star, "Wilson!" the soccer ball. I had seen the movie in the theater, but had completely forgotten the sub plot with the fiancé played by Helen Hunt. This was a sore point for her. When Hanks gets back to civilization after 4 years, he finds his fiancé had remarried and had a toddler with a good looking guy. She called her character a "zorra" (literally "fox," but a euphemism for "****' We did the math. He was declared dead and symbolically buried weeks after his plane went down. Assuming she spent a year grieving, then a year getting to know the new guy, then marrying him, then almost a year pregnant with his baby, then having a 12-18 month old baby by the time Hanks gets off that deserted island. She was adamant about her Helen Hunt character as a ****.
The movie was shot full of advertising, which gave me time to pack, but by the time the movie ended, she was pretty tired. She had woken up at 5 am to get to her morning class, so by midnight she was pretty tired. So, I did most of the work during our session. I had no complaints. A low energy session with Oober Driver is better than a high energy session with most women.
She slept in the next morning, and we knew the cleaning ladies would arrive around 11:30, so I did more packing and cut up the ingredients for our pre-flight omelets and on-the-road sandwiches. When she did get up, she gave me one her best sessions that ended with a cake decoration of her face.
Lessons learned:
- 9 days might be too long a trip.
- 2 trips, almost back-to-back might be too much. A man has to know his limitations.
- Avoid Parque Lleras.
- Staying someplace with a washer / dryer is invaluable. You can pack much lighter (a 3-day supply of clothes is enough) and always have fresh towels.
- Think about noise. Morning noise is inevitable, as few properties are sound proofed to keep out the 8 am morning commute racket (unless you are deep into a Blux Building type neighborhood) but good selection will keep you from night time night club noise.
- Quiet nights and mornings have to be balanced against convenience and proximity to eateries, pharmacies, and stores.

Iguana Six, I enjoyed reading about your day by day activities in Medellin. I am off to Cuba next week for 5 days, then back to US for a week and will be in Medellin for 5 days the next week. Concerning your lesson learned, I am curious about where to stay. I have rented a condo about a 10 min walk from Park Lleras. But after your comments about the park, should I be staying in a different part of town?

I like a little quiet to get a good night's sleep, meaning, I don't need a lot of traffic and nightclub noise until 2 am, only to jarred away by traffic noise and the sound of people dismantling the building next door with hand tools starting at 6 in the morning.
A ten minute walk should put you in a solidly residential neighborhood without a lot of thru traffic. Also, is your condo near street level or a few stories up? Higher up means nicer views and some offset from street traffic.
I know others have explored other neighborhoods beside Poblado to stay at. Poblado does offer things that other neighborhoods do not, besides Parque Lleras, which is safety and good access to public transport.

Personally, I like the wings at Hooters much more than Patrick's. Ay Caramba also has wings 2-for-1 on a different night. I think it is Thursday, but it may be Tuesday.
[QUOTE=JasonM;1954732]Four days in Medellin at GHL Comfort in San Diego. I walked 2 blocks to Fase Dos after 7 pm and found it large and modern (and not yet hopping that early). I was told that I couldn't sit next to the stage unless I ordered a bottle of something or a mixed drink, which I didn't care for. I drank my beer at the bar and was quoted 500 mil for a woman with an additional 150 mil bar fine for the takeout. I had a wicked hangover and didn't partake. Spent a couple of nights downtown near Plaza Botero. There are five clubs within 3-4 blocks that are not hard to find. Grill Nueva Avenida (Calle 51 #51-18) was honest but the women will charge you what they can. I was told they open in the afternoon but never arrived before 6 pm. Taberna Victoria (Calle 53 #52 a-26) is smaller and "mas pueblo" (less fancy), which I like. Conejitos (off plaza Botero) and Ejectutiva Strip club and Club Maracaibo (on Maracaibo) within 2 blocks of hotel Nutibara are all still there and going. Don't remember prices / names, but it's cheap. Taxis wait in front of Conejitos so you're good getting home. Also, I saw a lot of street walkers on the street on the south side of Museo Antioquia and the few blocks around there. You can find party favors in these streets (and from many entertainers) easily.[/QUOTE]At Fase II he was quoted 500 mil + 150 mil for take out?
I thought it was in the 190 mil range there? They just do a massive up-sell to a gringo or was that maybe for all night. Even then that seems high from what I have been reading.

Obviously 500 mil is very high and I would think it would be for all night. The best thing to do at Fase Dos is to session there (the hostel rooms are actually clean and pretty nice) or buy the girl a drink and get their whatsapp, and setup a hour or whatever at your apartment sometime in the future.
In the States I use SeekingArrangements (Sugar daddy site).
Also in use in Medellin, lots of hot girls, already have 6 girls WhatsUp and have 3 dates already set.
SA is a great way to meet hot girls in the US.
IMO a very expensive way to meet Colombian girls.

I am sure it is but I prefer low mileage quality over Hi mileage deals.

Plus that, there are the brothels and higher-end clubs. The bottle neck is my single dick, not the means to get in touch with girls.
[QUOTE=Wolf662;2001149]I am sure it is but I prefer low mileage quality over Hi mileage deals.[/QUOTE]Are you certain that's what you're getting? More than 1 woman on SA is either working or advertising elsewhere. Some just see it as an opportunity to charge 5 times as much for what they do every day. Others want to spend less time to make the same money. Then there are the ones who are looking for a husband.
What's left is split between those who really are just doing it part time and those looking for a genuine sugar daddy.
Nothing against SA, or any of the similar options, I know some who swear by it. But if you think you're getting low mileage quality, you may be mistaken.
