Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Globotto;2207467]I was so excited about my first trip to Colombia. The road from the airport descends into the city of Medellin from the mountains that surround it.

Its breathtaking, the weather was beautiful and the city is green with vegetation. A breath of fresh air compared to Bangkok but not nearly as convenient. The women in the sex trade are good if you like MILF's and MILF's with silicon breasts and asses. I actually found it humorous to see this. Gargantuan balloons some women are implanting in their ass. Its too fake for my tastes and in some cases a bit grotesque bad surgery. So the quest for a natural lady unscathed by childbirths is bit difficult. Certainly you will see lots of gorgeous peaches like on the transportation system or anywhere where they are not selling it but its going to be a bit difficult to operate if you don't speak Spanish. Somehow I feel they are saving themselves for that local guy who will knock them up and if it hits the skids at that point they might enter the sex trade. Either that or the BF or husband is the one also pimping them out. When you do hook up beware of gringo gouginig and "shitimacy". Most boutique hotels, guest houses etc. Don't allow you to bring in a local chick without paying some ridicules fee. So yes a beautiful city with more difficult operating instructions and frankly the food culture is horrible. Deep fried baseballs and ufo's everywhere is a recipe for indigestion and most of the chefs don't know how to cook well. If you dulge deep enough you will be able to find a decent place to eat or a supermarket that has quality selections. If you want to blow your brains out with cocaine and whatever chemicals are mixed in with it that won't be hard to find and its cheap. Ultimately this can lead a tourist to say. Medellin where the coke is better than the women.[/QUOTE]Wow. That is a scathing review with superbroad, gross generalizations! Certainly not my experience in Medellin. In my subjective opinion, Medellin has some of the most gorgeous women in the world. And the ones I was with were not bad either. In reading this forum on a regular basis, I know that I am not the only one who has had extremely pleasant experiences in Medellin. Sorry it did not go as planned for you.

[QUOTE=JSmith49;2208747]I'm new to this mongering game but I am heading to Medellin next week and someone suggested to me the site [URL]photoprepagos.com[/URL]. I just wanted to know if this is legit. Also some of these bio's the girls say they have their own private apartment. Is it safe to go to these women apartments. Please get back to me. Thank you.[/QUOTE]I had mixed success with photoprepagos in July. One was a homerun, looked exactly like the photos the other looked like the photos but everything hurt and she was in a hurry. Just like any of them you never know until you get behind closed doors and start the session. I have had really good excess with Mileroticos and photo PP, but like every other venue in Medellin or Costa Rica or anywhere some are home runs, some are strikeouts. Good luck give it a chance.

There are few places in this world with more plastic surgery than Bangkok. And a LOT of tattoos. It's gotten to the point where it's not easy to find a girl in Bangkok who hasn't had a nose job. (and I am not just talking about the ladyboys, the girls also have it) The Indonesian girls I know who have boob jobs got that done in Bangkok because the doctors are so expert at plastic surgery due to lots of experience.

As far as MILF's, I guess that depends on your definition. A buddy of mine was calling an 18 year old girl in Medellin a MILF because she had a kid when she was 15 years old. He says the M stands for mother, so any girl of any age with a kid is a MILF.

I've been to about 7 different apartments. For each girl that I banged, I noticed a very common theme in the homes. Not much there. On two different occasions while waiting for my uber driver to pick me up I noticed the girl walking out with a bag and in regular clothes. I became curious and started asking them. Each gurl said the same thing. They rent out the house for each use. They normally do not actually live there. This isn't for every girl as some actually use their apartments. To be safe its best to spend the extra $20 and have them come to you if you are really concerned. Though I've never had a bad experience all it takes is one to change everything. First resort ID say have them come to you. If you must go to them, Always try and ask for them to video chat 1st so you can confirm her identity and that its her. If she's not willing to do it, (most arent) ask her If she will send you a picture giving a peace sign or something so you can confirm atleast its the same body. If she denies that also and isn't willing to come to you, all you red flags are there. Either move on or take the last resort risk of telling the girl to come to the door so you can see her before you go in. In this case I would normally tell your uber or cab that you will pay them to wait outside for you. If she's different walk right back to the uber or cab and get the F out of there. Girls are very secretive so I wouldn't expect them to reveal their faces until you arrive but at all times have an immediate escape if needed. I had an uber driver that agreed to stop taking uber calls for an hour and sit in front of the complex for $10. The average uber driver gets paid way less than $10 after multiple trips because uber is dirt cheap there. Most would love to sit and wait rather hipe they get a ping. Use all your resources to your advantage and youll be fine. When in doubt. Have them come to you and if you open the door to someone other than in the picture, close the door. Thats the safest method.

Not sure if this has been discussed. This guy has put out a series of videos on Medellin. Many aspects from picking up women to discussing COP, the link above. Much of it is basic and probably nothing new to most here, but probably helpful to newcomers.[/QUOTE]I followed the link, I contributed to increasing its counters, and the first video I saw was "Learn about Colombian Money". He shows bills and gives the rough equivalent in USD. What I learned is that this guy has some problem with math, specifically with multiplications.

Thank you.[/QUOTE]My opinion on the matter. The web girls are like Russian Roulette. Some time it's great and sometimes it sucks. You'll have some bait and switch pictures, old pictures, photoshopped pictures and that's before you get to attitude and general sexiness. I prefer to hit the strip club bordellos in Medellin, you'll have up to 50 girls to choose from and you can see them in person 1st and sit and have a drink and chat and check them out. Then you can test drive in the club, and if you hit it off get her WhatsApp and see her later / the next day etc. You can aslo pay the club a fee and leave with the girl right then.

The Centro clubs will be $25 to $30 on site for girl + room, the upscale clubs like Fase II will be $65 and up.

Here's another one on night life. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D83AqU7jLgo[/URL].

The guy definitely has some math issues and with saying "you know what I mean" 100 times in each video, but it's good basic info.

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2208653]Botaniko is pretty cheap but not quite Brasa Pan cheap.[/QUOTE]Yeah I don't get it when people say they don't like Colombian food, what's not to like? These dishes at Brasa Pan are all $3 to $5:
(and it's 24 HR, we'd leave FaseII and head right there at 2 am. Always more then you can eat too.).

(If anyone see the blond at 1:25, please tell her I love her. LOL).

Is he saying don't use ATM out in Medellin? I'the imagine like anywhere you have to watch your back unless there is specific organized crime against ATMs in Colombia.

In Africa some ATM have 24/7 security guards actually.

Why the need for western union if visa with ATM are safe.

[QUOTE=TheCarlAnthony;2208839]When in doubt. Have them come to you and if you open the door to someone other than in the picture, close the door. Thats the safest method.[/QUOTE]If you do this be careful! Now they know which room you're in and at minimum which hotel or apartment you were in. They all have boyfriends and friends and brothers and cousins etc. Etc. Etc. It would be best to throw them 20 or 40 KCOP for taxi money if you're going to close the door in their face. Otherwise you will be a gringo in a foreign country pissing somebody off. And if you don't at least throw her taxi money she will have spent some of her money for nothing. Even though she lied to you she is out her taxi money. JMHO.

As an experiment, I looked at Xoom because I have a Paypal account and they charge $5 plus 3% foreign currency fee. All the supermarkets like Exito and Carulla (open on weekends) have the service according to Xoom. The supermarkets limit you to $1000 per transaction. My credit union would charge me 3% and I would have to pay ATM fees for each transaction. So it would probably take 4 ATM transactions to buy $1000 in Colombian pesos so Xoom is cheaper.

I recommend finding a debit card that has no foreign currency exchange fee and forgives the ATM transaction cost. I use Schwab but you need to open a brokerage account to get the service last I checked.
