Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Jooks;2203238]Yes, I was right next to the second park. I'm not familiar with the Floresta station. Is it near the Stadium station? Stadium Station was about 1 km from me.

Any advice on how best to look for either an apartment or hotel in the area? My concern is that I won't be able to tell from the address where the apartment or hotel is located.[/QUOTE]The Floresta station is the next station out from the Estadio station. I find the apartments on airbnb. When you search airbnb, it has a map to show where each apartment is located.

I'm trying to picture where Floresta Station is in relation to the Stadium. My morning run took me first to the Stadium. I think going from Cra. 73 and then I made a right (N, W, E, S. No idea) and ended up at another station with a big open area and lots of vendors. Would that be Floresta?

[QUOTE=Jooks;2203239]Yes, bandeja paisa! Surprisingly, no restaurants near, or any that I found, served it.

I suppose I should mosey over to the Cali forum, but while I'm here, any suggestions about where to stay in Cali, like which area and any recommended hotels or apartments?[/QUOTE]I like staying in the north part of Cali.

Near the Torre de Cali hotel.

I was just there last week.

Brought back really good memories!

Cali was the place to be before Medellin got much safer and now more popular among tourists and mongers LOL.

[QUOTE=SoberHans69;2201821]Any tips for finding girls on Facebook?

Added a few girls on there who look like they might be P4P but what's the most polite way of asking if they fuck for money?[/QUOTE]Anyone got any advice please?

Added a few and they have agreed to hang out but need to make sure they are P4P and don't think I want a Colombian girlfriend.

Florester is the next station past Estadio if you were going from downtown. Floresta has a lot of vendors around it, but it's not an open area. I think you probably went to the Suramericana station. Going from your hotel, you would turn left at the Estadio station to go to Floresta.

If they agree, it's almost a sure thing they are P4P, unless it is a very inexperienced chica. Some may ask what are your plans. Tell them you want to go to bed with them. If they are not P4P, and they get upset, then they won't talk to you again. The very few I have encountered who are not P4P are still polite in saying they don't do that.

I did 4 nights in BOG and now it was time to see MDE. Travelling with my brother, another horn-dog, we arrived in MDE around 8 pm. Checked into Hotel San Fernando Plaza. Around $64 a night with breakfast, gym and a pool. Girl friendly, but I'll get to that later.

1st night following the Chica list, thanks World Travel 69 (I was never able to download the map) we went to Conejitas Bar Show, Carrera 53 # 51-58. I found a super sweet Venezuelan named Valery, 1st day there. She convinced me she was special so I agreed to 70 k for 30 min (should be 50 k). I watched her pay? K for the room. My brother paid 50 k all in. Chica list quoted 50 k. Anyway she was really nice and fun, CBJ, CFS, DATY, multi pos and nice conversation. Neighborhood was really seedy that late, around 11 PM. We walked around a little but the next bar wasn't as good. A little spooky walking around with my wallet and cell phone. Later during my stay I was on this exact same street and it was filled with people and street stalls. There were another 4 or 5 girls there I would have been very happy with that night.

Day 2 we went to New Life in Villa Nueva, Calle 56 (Bolivia) # 43-39. Cubicle for viewing with a drink. 16 ladies step in for 10 secs giving name. We had a notepad and a pen. I goes very fast. I picked one he picked one, off we went. Price list in the cubicle says 50 k - 30 min, 65 k - 45 min. My girl had oil on her silicone boobs and that's what I wanted. She upsold me on a BBBJ and 'special" service, I was OK with that as I wanted to see how it turned out. Good fun, BBBJ, DT, 69, multi pos, all oily. About 4 girls of the 16 I would have been happy with. We enjoyed the lively walking area's around Parque Barrio and had some dinner. My brother hit on a beautiful girl we saw in the restaurant on Calle 53 (he got her number and had the full freebee GFE with her for the next two days). After dinner we went to the 2 strips near there -Ejecutiva Strip Club and Club Maracaibo. This was around 7-8 PM. Nice fare but lot's of local guys too, choose quickly. Both bars had around 20 girls, 5-6 girl above 6's, the rest were so so. It's Friday night, we are back in the hotel room at midnight, I'm all dressed to go out to Lleras Park but my bro is doing WhatsApp with the girl he met. 2 AM and he NOW want's to go out. I'm sleepy, should have gone on my own as Sat I saw what it is all about.

Day 3 I'm exploring language schools to study Spanish, we go to El Tesoro for the city wide view. Bro makes dinner plans with his normal girl. 8:30 PM they go to dinner. I have a few beers in the hotel and go out at 9:30. I end up meeting them after dinner in Parque Lleras area and we have some fun chit chat with drinks (neither of us speak much Spanish and she spoke no English) Broken Spanish and Google translate, we all had a fun time, lot's of laughter.

We split up so they could go do their business. I wondered around for a bit then ran into two street walkers. I was immediately hot to go, I was feeling charitable so I invited her friend too. Bad idea as you will see later. 150 k each agreed upon we get into a taxi just as the rain starts. At my hotel we discover that the girls must have ID at night. The 2nd girl doesn't have any so they tell me they know a hotel to go to nearby. 7 min later enter Las Cabannas buy taxi, 50 k per person (might be less pre-booked) We enter the room that has a stripper pole, sex couch, Jacuzzi tub, a big bed and an excellent sound system. All the mini bar items, drinks, condoms, snacks. The girls (around 19 yrs old) strip down to thongs and start music, dancing and filling the tub with bubbles. Sexy dancing on the pole, tub 3 together then I sat on the couch for the 1st one to start CBJ and CFS, then we moved to the bed all together. I start some foreplay but then find out they are "familia" cousins, and they won't touch each other or do lesbian. Oh well. I still have another girl to get inside. I enter the second girl with a new condom while the other plays with herself and we rock and roll to the music. Natural, young beautiful bodies. Heavenly. I was willing to go for the second round as agreed but they seemed to want to end it for less COP. Oh well, I was drunk and sleepy so I was OK with it. They only offered Facebook as a contact so they sent a friend request from my FB to themselves. Back to my hotel to pay them off from my safe and we agreed to meet the next day. I slept well.

Sadly no friend add on FB but I had MUC, BCN and LIS planned for the next week where I will have plenty of nooky. But I hope to find the 1st one again as she was perfect for me. I will post in MUC reports, follow if you want to hear about the Polish girl I met there. Barcelona and Lisbon to follow as well.

I am going back to Medellin on the 10th of Aug for one month of Spanish study. PM me if you will be in town and need a wingman or a drinking buddy (10 Aug to 9 Sept).

P.S. My brothers girl had no ID either and ended up in Las Cabannas the same night. We probably were only 2 cabanas away from each other in a motel with a paid Hotel empty.

P.S. S If anyone has FB contacts in MDE maybe you know her as Rubi Rose. Please get her to add me.

[QUOTE=SoberHans69;2203329]...need to make sure they are P4P and don't think I want a Colombian girlfriend.[/QUOTE]In the P4 P world, girls use the word "cita", which means appointment in Spanish. If you ask for a cita, and she agrees to come, you are in business.

BBVA Bank 300 k max, no fee.

Davivienda 400 k max, no fee.

Servibanca 780 k max, 12 k fee per withdrawal.

Bancolombia 600 k max, 12 k fee per withdrawal.

Banco de Bogota 600 k max, 10.5 k fee per withdrawal.

—This was the result of my research a year ago for my trip to Bogota. I assume the fees are the same in Medellin?

—I believe Bancolombia recently instilled this fee. It was free in 2017 for me, but not in Mar-18.

—I have only withdrawn from Bancolombia and Servibanca.

You are correct, Bancolombia now charges a fee. I have never been able to withdraw more than 300 k per transaction. When I did two transactions back-to-back to get 600 k, they charged 12 k for each.

I don't know the amount of fee the others charge, but earlier this year I verified that they do charge a fee. I also checked some other banks which I don't remember the names, but they all charged a fee, except BBVA and Davienda.

Also, I do cash-advance withdrawals using a credit card. So the low limits at BBVA & Davivienda are no good for me.

I belive the fee is 12 k at Servibanca. Can anyone confirm that?

A friend just tried a few weeks ago and the limit was 400 k with a 15 k fee.

This info is 6 months old. If you are in the area and your card works in their ATM, Banco Pichincha had no fee and allowed 1 million per withdrawal, with multiple withdrawals on the same transaction. Watched my roommate pull out 6 million back in December. They only have a couple of branches. The only one I've been to is south of Santa Fe mall, across from the DHL building.

My concern is that I won't be able to tell from the address where the apartment or hotel is located.[/QUOTE]I like El Peñon and San Antonio or even a bit farther South near Parque de Perro. I don't particularly like la Sexta. There is night life around there, I just don't like the vibe. Some guys like to be farther North near Chipichapi shopping center. I don't like being there as you are sort of far away from stuff. I like to be able to walk out of my apartment and have cafes, bars, parks nearby.

For your guide, the "nice" areas in Cali aren't as expansive as those in Medellin (Poblado, Belen, Laureles, Envigado). It's probably a more dangerous city vs Medellin (though Medellin has plenty of no-go zones).
