Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=SeanEZ;2139357]My advice is don't skip Face Dos. Taxis routinely suggest Islas. If you're into fake looks / tits go to Islas. I regret not having spent more nights at FD, and the vibe there is great too.[/QUOTE]Nine years ago, I went to Fase Dos and thought the COP190 price for an on premises short time was a little steep. Now, not so much. They haven't raised their price, and the quality of the talent is better than it was before. This may be because, while they welcome tourists, their bread-and-butter is the local customers.

[QUOTE=MedellinGringo;2138939]The Mansion (gringo hotel) does not take a cut of any of the girls money.[/QUOTE]But the owner DO force the English students to get their hair and nails done at their beauty shop, buy their lingerie at their gift shop, etc. Also, the days when the students could show up uninvited ended years ago.

It's semantics isn't it? Gringo hotel is a hotel not a brothel, they don't take a cut they require payments for beauty services. This hobby is about fantasy but I like to keep it real to avoid getting caught up in bullshit.

I would rather apologize. I've never actually held my hand on an open flame but I know it is not something I would enjoy.

[QUOTE=MedellinGringo;2139276]I don't think you should apologized to the the gringo hotel owners.

But you should probably stay there and get to know some of the women before commenting on how they do business.

At the gringo hotel you deal directly with the chicks on price, services and duration. And you pay the chicas directly.

And you can have any girl you want to stay with you at the hotel whether they know her or not (as long as she has a cedula).

Plenty of guys just order in and use the chicas that show up daily at the hotel as back up in case of a no show.[/QUOTE]

Word to the wise, in my opinion based on advice from an employer's security management, these precautions apply to Cauca at all times.

[QUOTE=Bill;2139252]I received a Bogota consulate advisement:

Location: Colombia, countrywide.

Event: The National Liberation Army (ELN) terrorist group announced an economic shutdown of the country from 6:00 am On Saturday, February 10,2018 until 6:00 am On Tuesday, February 13,2018. The group has warned civilians not to travel during this period, and have threatened to forcibly close roads, river and sea transportation, and air routes. Colombian authorities will increase military and police presence throughout the country. Historically, the ELN is very active during February due to key anniversaries during this period.

Actions to Take:

Avoid areas with known ELN presence (parts of the departments of Nario, Cauca, Choco, Arauca and Norte de Santander).

Keep a low profile.

Be aware of your surroundings.

Review your personal security plans.[/QUOTE]

When the night time girls show up neither one is even open.

Every chick that works at the mansion has to request to work at the mansion.

The ones that don't get picked to work on a particular night will often hit the guys up staying there asking them to invite them in.

I've seen girls hang out at the mansion all day and not make a dime.

They sometimes beg for cab fare to go home.

Never had one beg to get her hair done.

I can see girls that didnt get picked to work voluntarily going into the mansion to get their hair done if they are allowed to work afterwards

But I have never heard of that happening either

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2139398]Word to the wise, in my opinion based on advice from an employer's security management, these precautions apply to Cauca at all times.[/QUOTE]From personal experience after making several visits to see friends who live there, I'd exclude within Popayan from the "all times" category, but based on their advice would certainly concur for Southern and Western Cauca and the mountainous area outside of Popayan that runs from Huila to Narino. Rode a chiva to a finca outside of Popayan with the entire family (met my first Pastos on the chiva) and enjoyed a Sunday of family fun playing games, eating sancocho de gallena, etc. , but other than that I've kept my obvious gringo self within the White City.

[QUOTE=Wolf662;2139362] ......I stay at the hotel Botero due to it's location right between those 3 strip clubs and right across from Casa Yakuza which is open till from 10 ish AM to like 3 to 4 AM-ish. They allow takeout no extra fee to the Botero for 45 k a 1/2 HR. Not always cuties there but sometimes. It's behind a mirrored door just left of Hotel Deseos.

It's "Botero Medellin" on [URL]Hotels.com[/URL], $26 a night, book a room for 2, 15 stories, bar with great view and steam room / saunas on roof, mini-fridge in room (if not, ask for one) walk in shower, hot water, 42" flat-screen. (Botero should start giving me a commission. LOL) Ask for a floor on the highest floor available for view and noise reduction, west side building better.

The airport buses end up on that block which is convenient.....[/QUOTE]The most important thing for me is wifi and I think at hotel Botero it is iffy.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2139592]The most important thing for me is wifi and I think at hotel Botero it is iffy.[/QUOTE]When it goes down or gets wonky I go out in the hall, the box is on high on the wall near the elevator, I reboot it by unplugging the power cord and re-plugging it, it come back up then. If not you can get a signal from the floor on either side of you also. I got a PM asking about the non-working A/C, that's why you get a high floor on the west side, cool breezes and the sun does not beat on that side in the morning, open both windows and I tip the front desk to bring me a fan which I wedge in the window and have it blow right on my bed, I get the 2 doubles, use one for my clothes and sleep in the one by the window, actually gets a little too cool by morning.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2139592]The most important thing for me is wifi and I think at hotel Botero it is iffy.[/QUOTE]When my signal was out or very weak I would simply walk down to the router by the elevator, unplug it wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. That usually did the trick.

El Mechanico.

I took the metro and metro cable to parque Arvii for the first time. I went to Estadio station which is a five minute walk from my hotel. At some point by estacion San Antonio or San Jose, I do not remember which saint I have to go out to take the other line. I continued to estacion Acevedo where the metro cable is. I went in to the funicular up the mountain over the poor comunas. Somebody advised me not to stop inside Arvii park because it is near a dangerous area so I took the funicular with half a dozen Pablo Escobar gun men look alike inside it.

Once at the top of the mountain my metro car get empty to be refilled again with college students and working people. There was a pretty college girl and another woman on her mid 30,s with an outstanding body with big natural looking butts. Her dress shows how great her body is. We went out to take the train back home. When I get down the stairs to wait for the train I saw that hot lady again and asked her about how the get back to Estadio Station. She offered to lead me during the trip and we entered the train and we stood up together because all seats were taken. Behind her there was a pretty young college student that was staring at me. I notice it and looked at her, she is very pretty. The lady noticed that I was looking to somebody else and make an 180 to look who is behind her. We keep talking and I get her phone number. I left the train by whatever saint station to take the one to Estadio. Guess what, the pretty college girl went out with me to take the same train. On the line to wait for the next train she asked if She was prettier than the lady I was talking to. Long story short I got her phone number too and we have a date for after school today and a date with the other lady tomorrow. I am still smiling!

Why not buy some Internet service from Claro / Tigo etc? You can be online 24/7 in the Botero hotel and anywhere else you are going to be? You would need a phone or other device you can put in "mobile hotspot" mode.

[QUOTE=KainNYC;2138283]Message me, if you need a translator, wingman, etc.[/QUOTE]Appreciate the offer.

Don't think I can message you. Just got on here.

If you would, just reply to this on the forum and let me know the best way to link up more directly. If joining is the only way, just let me know that.

Thanks.

Nice work Boricua. Are you going to check out Energy. It's near your hotel. Keep us up to date.

It reminds me of that Chris Rock joke.

Men "I got to get me a girl like THAT".

Women "I got to get HIM!
