I was one who mentioned about a theft
I had stayed there many times without a problem until the last visit. I hope you reported this. Is the pregnant girl still cleaning the rooms? SHe was the one who got me.
There is a Hotel a little up the road called Villa Nueva; you might want to check them out. Last I check it was about 30K and they give you breakfast. I am trying to get their number as this will be the place I stay on the next visit.
I like the petitie type so if you think the phone girl is worth it, pass the number my way.
Good luck
[QUOTE=Locowaryaa]First of all thanks to seasoned mongers for providing me with excellent detailed tips on medellin. Been here 8 days so far & liking it.
Monday 19th. Arrived in Medellin via bus late in the evening around 9pm. Was damned tired and headed directly to Hostal Odeon. I believe, a member here commented on the theft that goes in here and I can re-affirm its true as I have lost my debit card so far here partially cause of me though. An english mate of mine I met in Quito recommended this hostal. It isn´t worth for 25K without wifi and I am shopping for a temporary place right now. Headed to the local strip clubs nearby(Grills). Plenty here, both on the street hostal odeon is in (Caracas) and one adjecent to it. Settled for the one dingy place in adjecent street. Most girls here are fat or borderline fat. Maybe few 7-8`s. free entry. Beers cost 4k each and maybe 1k tip for lousy stage dancers. Started talking to a petite one who said she´s from barranquilla and gave lots of information that will eventually come in handy. Was asking for 50k a pop inhouse. Declined as I was too tired. Left the place after 3 beers. On the way back met these dudes passing out cards and one offered inhouse service for 35k. We settled for 2 girls and I select one for 35. BAD MISTAKE as both were hideous and I caved in for a bbbj from one.
2-Tuesday 20th. Woke up early and did a little jogging at Parque Bolivar. Had tinto coffee for 300 pesos and chatted up the coffee girl herself. We settled for COP 30K for a lunch session. I still have her number. Maybe too petite for some here.
3-Wednesday 21st.Met some locals at a rock bar a block from hostal odeon, mezannine floor who recommended I head with them to live rock joint. Barely remember the name as I was too wasted. It was fun though and very safe. Perhaps some here do know of the place and can tell me.
4- Thursday 22nd. One of my new local friends from the other night and I headed to laureles. I believe the club is called Yanyeri. COP20K open bar and plenty of prepagos to choose from. Freebies if you got good game and your spanish is decent. Picked one of the ugly broads here who spoke english for cop50k.
5-Friday 23rd ate lunch at the local upscale scene poblado. A decent lebanese joint and tried to pick free street birdies early evening. Failed miserably. Met two 8 plus hotties who took me to the cleaners after they invited me for drinks at a local hippie joint Jamrock. Downed 30k on drinks here. Another 30k on food before heading with them to a concert in Palmaia club. Downed another 90k for ticket and booze. Overall damage 200k in one night. Yikes. Damn lot for a poor fella like me.
6- Saturday 24th Picked street chick at the local Parque bolivar in the morning for 25k session. Met two 2 english girls at sandiego mall in the evening who recommended a semi dive bar called later8 or something in Parque lleras. Has Jack Daniels posters all over. Finally managed to get my first local plastic freebie.
7-Sunday too tired to bother with girls and ended up watching a flick at local mall Premier Plaza. Did a little blackjack at the casino there. Saw a potential pickup bar there too, Beer House. Dude working there tells me plenty of fine freebies on weekends.
Overall, I must say I do like what I see in Medellin and girls here seem more approachable than the ones in cali. Had a hard time there and wasn´t really into the hardcore pros in sexta. This place definately lacks Quito´s variety though, both in terms in availability, proximity and food.
Now as to some of my serious issues, can any of the local expats here recommend a good english speaking lawyer who can help me with residency permits? Also are there expats renting co-ops or even shared apartments?
Decent sports pub where I can watch the world series or bball playoffs. Thanks fellow mongers and don´t mind my mediocre borderline pathetic english.
Cheers

Headed to MDE in a couple weeks
I have done a lot of research. Thanks to all the guys that post. Special thanks to Rainman (a longtime friend and fellow monger).
I have a couple local "trusted" drivers that will help translate (Se hablo Espanol un poco), drive and make some introductions. One driver said $10usd/hr to drive us around which sounds more than reasonable.
My question is what would be an appropriate propina for the driver to make introductions to some lovely chicas?
I expect and WANT to show gratitude but I don't know what is the right amount. I don't want to excessively over compensate AND I don't want to under compensate at all.
Any suggestions
