Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Jchipper] But Medellin is cheaper and easier for sex. End of story., [/QUOTE]
IYHO! It may be cheaper than $7 in Mayorista, but I certainly doubt it is harder to open your wallet in Peru!

[QUOTE=Mr Tango]HiOctane,

The point of asking about blackmarket sims not being rechargable is that I don't want a new number (and new sim) mid trip.

Jergens007,

The club scene site I found has added albums with the following titles over the past month: Spazio, Mango, Babylon, Oz, La Kasa, Mantra, Chiquita, Forum. Not sure they're all clubs, just some girls, or special events. If these aren't the top clubs, they've got to be popular after all the site is covering them.[/QUOTE]What club site would that be?

Thanks

[QUOTE=Jchipper]For all you travelers, after 12 days, Lima is better for food, night life, taxis, hotels, sightseeing, surfing, product buys such as DVDS, its really cheap, half the price of Colombia, But Medellin is cheaper and easier for sex. End of story., If I see another short wearing or NorthFace zip off pants on another Eurpoean or American in my travels, you have to blend in folks. I will ***** slap the next one I see on the street and tell the local cops they tried to pick me up.[/QUOTE] Damn, Chip. No need to ***** slap anybody. You can't change guys. Let them walk their own path. You live, make mistakes, and learn from them. You know I did.

[quote=bonhead]i guess we have a few guys here that could potentially be in violation of federal us laws concerning sex with minors while abroad.[/quote]i don't think it matters what the us law is. it matters the law of the country you are in. fyi, i just found a document on the net that says age of consent is 14 in colombia.

also, i don't want to cause a political uproar, but it's american arrogance (fyi i'm from the us) that causes other countries to hate the us. who says 18 is the age of consent? just because the us does everyone should adopt the same law? it varies in different countries. the statuatory [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] laws in the us are retarded. if a girl pretends to be 21 but is in fact 17 you go to jail for statuatory [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] even if it's consensual? i'm all for protecting minors and guys that go after minors should be burned at the stake, but situations like this where the girl pretends to be older should be considered differently.

to me geraldyn looks older than 18. i've only seen her pics and maybe on passing in mayorista. it shouldn't matter her real age, but laws are laws i guess. if you go for her because she hot and looks older... great but if you go for her knowing that she's a minor, that's just sick and you should be burned at the stake.

anyways, enough of my rants. let's get back to some more reports!

the legal age of consent in most countries including colombia is 16 y/o. united states is one of the few countries that is 18. including having a drinking age of 21. most countries drinking age is 18.

i guess all the other countries in the world including all of europe, south america, asia are ****s?

[quote=i like pussy]i agree with you. **** should be banned from the board and reported to the law enforcement.

what these sickos don't know is the law enforcements actually have task forces who monitored the internet. that is how the guy from canada got caught in thailand. i hope aussie greg got tagged by the task forces or under the watch already.[/quote]

I wear shorts and I've lived here for around 7 years, I guess I'm a dork !!! and a few other things as well.

See you soon RICKER, bringing your sidekick?

Little Anna is back in town from the Republica Dominicana

[QUOTE=Ricker]Jeez, 'lighten up Francis' ... If these guys wanna be dorks, let 'em be. You do your thing, they'll do theirs, no reason to get all huffy puffy :)[/QUOTE]

hioctane, i may be incorrect on this, but i am certain that some states have passed laws governing out of country activities, especially relating to sex with ****rs. of course, how they can enforce those laws i don't know, but i am sure i have read about such discussions in the past.

if anyone knows more, please chime in

[QUOTE=Hioctane]I don't think it matters what the US law is. It matters the law of the country you are in. FYI, I just found a document on the net that says age of consent is 14 in Colombia.[/QUOTE]Iirc there are three ages: one for sex with a partner of the same age (+/- some number of years); another for sex with anyone; and another for commercial sex work.

Anyone contemplating sex with a 14 yo should know that the locals in Colombia do not tolerate child sex abuse. And given their perfectly reasonable lack of faith in the police they tend to take matters into their own hands. Which typically means beating you to death.

All perfectly reasonable in my opinion.

Hi Greg,

Just from past reports on ISG regarding media coverage, police at MM, neighbors complainning, BBQ stopped, strict ID policies, etc. There is even a thread on another popular webpage (CR), "MM, is the place being slowly squashed? ". The report has had 65 comments and 2792 views. That's why I thought the MM was being harrassed. It must all be speculation then. I had also heard 14 as the consent age as well as 16, but I'd rather err on the high end then on the low end.

Frank Casio!

[QUOTE=Aussie Greg]Frank,

Can you please explain to me the harassment at MM you are talking about in your article, also I'm under the impression that the legal age of consent is 14 here in Colombia as told to me by our DUG lawyers, for Colombians that is.

Aussie G.[/QUOTE]

[blue]Greetings everyone,

The Age of Consent is irrelevant.

What you need to know is the [u]Age of Majority[/u], which among other things is the age in which they can vote, get married, enlist in the military, and participate in commercial sex activities.

Please exercise caution.

Thanks,

Even though age of consent in Colombia is 14, that is technically "suppose" to be between the young lady and her 15-16 year old novio. I know that part is laughable amongst Colombians. As an American citizen you cannot travel to Colombia or anywhere in the world for that matter with the intent on having any sort of relations with a girl under the age of 18 regardless whether it was intentional or accident. She lied to you, had a fake cedula, her sisters cedula, I thought she looked older etc etc whatever are not culpable excuses. As a consumer of the service or "john" it is your utmost responsibility to find out 100%.

If I see another short wearing or NorthFace zip off pants on another Eurpoean or American in my travels, you have to blend in folks. I will ***** slap the next one I see on the street and tell the local cops they tried to pick me up.

What attire one chooses to wear while in country is really quite irrelevent. If one thinks that dressing like the locals in order to "blend in" or be less conspicuous makes them less conspicuous, they are deluded.

The average Colombian can spot a foreigner a mile away, based solely upon observing the persons physical characteristics, and mannerisms. Unless you look Colombian and speak Colombian spanish fluently, you don't blend in....period.

Recently, Colombia has been touting itself as an up-and-coming tourist destination. Colombian's need to change their mindsets and learn to accept that people who choose to visit their country from abroad don't look the same, dress the same, act the same, speak the same language, nor share the same cultural or social norms.

If you traveled to Scotland would you walk around town donning a kilt and blowing on the bagpipes so you can "blend in?"

Any of you guys who live care to share any information on this story?

Looks like things are really heating up in Medellin. I visited last year and had a great time, but this story give me reason to question another trip.

Thanks,
