Medellin Reports

Slamcity 7777 and Larenzo,

Thanks very much for your responce guy's, yes there is another side of Medellin, "the real one"

We at the Mansion have what we call the Tourist Police, they look after all issues with the hotels here in Poblado and call in a few times each week to have a sandwich, coke and a chit-chat, we find out whats going on in Medellin ect.

They asked us one year to donate to the Cancer Hospital in San Vincente at christmas time which we and many of our guests also donated, plus guy's on this board to, many of our guests went with us to the party that they held at the hospital.
Seeing children dieing of cancer was a big shock but we all had a great time for a few hours and gave out many presents, many other hotels, Macdonalds ect gave big time to.

What we have now in Medellin is that many families are without food so the Police asked us to donate again or to see what we could do.

Exito make up food parcels which cost about 20,000 pesos, you can buy them, drop them of at the Mansion and when we have enough, we call the police, they give us a couple of days notice and then we go up and donate, they have people on the groud up there and it gets to the real people in need, we go along for the ride.

Its best if you go to Exito your self and purchase what you think you can afford, we dont want to deal in money, but we do if somebody sends it by Money Gram ect.

Thats about it mate's, you can call Marcy here in the Mansion office, she'll be very happy to help out with the drop off's and what time we go up the mountain.

Her number is 266 8626 and e-mail is [email]info@medellinmansion.com[/email]

Hello Greg,

I'll be in Mede in mid Nov. and would very much like to help some poor families....see the "other side" of mede...

I'm not a scared of going to the hood, I'm Asian, sort of brown, dark haired, and in the 5foot-5-8 height range that common in South America...long story short I don't stick out like a 6 foot gringo... and but if the cops do come...what ever...

I'd like more info about this thing your doing, is this your private charity? just a good deed you're doing? just something you do?

Either way it's great IMO

oh and I was gonna ask if you had any frineds/connects/know of agencies for Apartments in Bogota for a weekend? Nov 13(fridday)-Nov 16th(mon), I'd like to spend about $150ish for the weekend.

Thanks and please get back to me when you have a chance

Tango,

Just call Marcy when your in town and see when we are going up, I hope to do it once a week, your very welcome.

[QUOTE=Mr Tango]Hi Greg,

I'm planning on visiting Medellin for the first time at the end of Oct.

Would like to take that walk with you.

PM me with contact info as the MM is already booked.[/QUOTE]

Ilikepussy,

I'm Asian, to be more specific, I'm from Indonesia. I think, being an Asian has it's benefits when mongering in Medellin. Unlike the gringo's, there are not too many of us there (I might be the only Indonesian). The girls treat me as a curiosity and that defines their attitude: more friendly.

[QUOTE=Jchipper] There will always be crime, there will always be vicitms, but Fase Dose is a gringo and mafiaso hang out, my suggestion is to avoid the place.[/QUOTE]I can't disagree. There are safer venues available.

For different reasons, I feel similarly about the girls on Calle 85 (Mayorista); that's a local, working-class scene. It's located there because of the truck market (farmer's market) right next door. Of course, it's generally not a problem to be there (I've stayed there), and the people are friendly, but they don't want their local scene over run by gringos looking for the cheap trick. It's also quite public, so there can be pride issues at stake. So it just doesn't feel right to me, and I bet the local boys would rather keep that to themselves.

[QUOTE=Mr Tango]With this situation I would also think about inspecting my luggage. Afterall there's nothing like being volunteered to be a mule while you were past out. Granted this sort of smuggling is rare these days, but still being stopped at TSA or customs would be one bad situation with an uncorroborated story. Unless you happen to file a police report.[/QUOTE]I will inspect my bag before leaving for the airport to from now on. They specifically asked me when I checked in if I packed the bag myself, and whether the bag was in my possession and view at all times.

[QUOTE=Icuminpeace]Maybe your not liked because your an ASSHOLE!

You should try to act like a good person most of the time, not when you want something, I. E. Money to support poor people!

Wake up IDiota! [/QUOTE]Wow, Right outta left field. And from a 1 report history expert too.

I for one have spent some time w/ Greg at the mansion & around town.

To me he seemed like a reglar bloke that was pretty fut to hand with.

He is running a business. Somtimes that takes a serious stance.

Ignore this Greg, probably had to shut this guy down in the past.

Economy willing I will see you.

Stratone

No problemo, just send you bag of food to the Mansion, you can call me what you like, thank you.

I always get what I want !!!

Wake up IDiota![/QUOTE]The only person being an asshole is you. Greg has donated his time and money to a good cause and you "Mr. First Post Of My Life" is going to come on this board and try to throw insults around? Get lost jerk off.

Greg,I'll make my annual Xmas donation via Western Union as usual and P.M. you when it is ready for pick up.

Wake up IDiota![/QUOTE]I might be missing something...in fact I know I'm missing something but it sounds like AG is trying to do some good in this shit hole of a world we live in...what's wrong with that?

Did AG kill a bus load of nuns and orphans or some junk? Why are the negativity?

Many times I have sent things (TV, Toys, food, clothing) for my children from Exito via the internet Virtualexito.com; if I do the same would be able to send the packages? Please ask in El Exito if they will arrange to purchase from their website.

Also, I have know several poor families in my visits that have been too proud to take my cash (or sell their souls), how can they benefit from this kindness.

Thanks for allowing all who partake, give back.

Mike

Hi guys,

Enlighten me please. I keep hearing on the news about how dangerous Brazil and Rio de Janeiro are with 38 murders a day in Brazil, third in the World. How they would have to built up walls around poor neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro because of crimes and danger to tourists if the Olimpics were held there. What's up with that? Never heard any of these comments by fellow mongers who travel to Brazil. Only hear good things all the time about Rio. And what finally happened with The Help Discoteque? Any info. Will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Frank Casio!

Can across this one on facebook anyone had an opportuntity use their services?

Thanks in advance

i like pussy,

i am asian/white. but i look more asian. i have been to colombia 3 times. bogota, medellin x 2 and my more recent trip to cali, you can read my detail report in the cali section.

since colombia is a not a popular tourist country compare to countries like brazil, france, spain etc. it is common for colombians to see white gringos walking around on the streets but they rarely see asians around. when they see one, they are very curious they look at you longer and are willing to open up and have a conversation with you.

my first trip to medellin was in 2007. me and my friends stood out. i went with a 6'1 blonde pale white guy looks like a harmess nerd and a korean guy who was 6'4 with tattoo sleeves kinda skinny, has the rock star emo look. me. i'm 6'0 athletic built and trendy. anyway. as a group we stood out.

my korean buddy can speak decent spanish, and when he did, people jaws dropped. there were speechless. everywhere we went, we were called " chinos" so expect to get called that when you go to colombia. everywhere we were we get stares. when we talk to people, they ask where we are from, are we exchange students? etc,

at the regular clubs, i do get alot of stares from everyone. colombian dudes know how to speak english would come up to ask if we want x, weed, or coke. if you know how to speak spanish, have decent fashion style, know some salsa dancing. you wouldn't have too much of a problem scoring with a non pro.

when i visited other countries like brazil, france. i did not get any stares.

this is how i felt. just imagine. that you are a hot ass girl with big ass tits walking in the mall by yourself. and every dude is staring at you.

or your a celebrity walking into a restaurant, people stare at you.

yes i felt like a celebrity when i was in colombia!

if you don't want to draw to much attention because of your ethicity, wear a baseball hat and sunglasses.

and please don't wear shorts! lol

[quote=i like pussy]ok. there have been so much talking about gringos that and gringos this.

how about asian mongers? is there fair amount of asian guys mongering in columbia? i'm asian and never been to columbia. any tips? is there any different in term of treatment from local between asian and white?[/quote]
