Good Oobservations for a first time visitor to Ground Zero
[QUOTE=MMHikeus;2401094]I have been to Medellin multiple times, but had never been to El Centro.
On my trip now, I happened to be in the area, for some work, along with a Venezuelan girl I.
Have known from earlier trips. She is a professional prepago / working girl, but is high end.
She was helping me with some translation on the visit to El Centro area. After my work was done.
We strolled through the Plaza Botero, and decided to go into the Botero Museum.
After the museum visit, I asked her to help me find the intersection of Calle 52, Carrera 52.
The epicenter of the Veni girls in Medellin. I took a picture of the sign just for kicks.
We were there around midday on Friday. It was pretty crowded with all kinds of people.[/QUOTE]For a first time visitor to "ground zero", you have made some good observations, and a lot of the assumptions you have made are good. Some of the things I have experienced and observed are that the Vennnies are in a tight squeeze given the sheer numbers of them competing for clients, so with the exception of the really cute ones, the majority of them are not doing multiple guys per day, let alone one a day, and some of them as I call them are disgustingly fat and ugly,(Fuglies) as I refer to them, and "garish" as you mentioned.
Additionally, not all of the Vennies are mercenaries, but some of them think they are the best thing since "sliced bread", walking around strutting their hinnies, etc. The Colombians don't typically act like that at ground zero. Also, some of the Vennies think the "gringos" are stupid. And some of them are, but as an example, some of the Vennies have quoted me like 40 K for a rato and I typically just laugh at them and tell them that there are Colombians that will go for 20 K (which is true) and I ask them, why would somebody give you 40 K when they can get it for 20 K, and I typically get this weird grin, and okay, how much? And you are correct, the Vennies will typically will ask for 30 K.
Anyways, approximately three months ago there was another member of this board who was at ground zero and swore he couldn't see any Vennies working. Hard to believe as they are everywhere. Regardless of this, great observations / assumptions for a first time visitor to ground zero.

We are probably going to start an argument / discussion
[QUOTE=Magkfngz;2401227]Has anyone stayed at energy apartments? Or do you recommend staying in the Laureles section.[/QUOTE]I have to say that on my next trip I might stay in Laureles because a person can save some serious money by doing so, but that being said, if money was not an object than it still depends on other factors. Which means of mongering are you going to be most likely to partake in? I primarily used FB and some tender and picked up some SWs in Parque LLeras. Energy was perfect for me. The building has good security which I respect not so much for my safety but for keeping me out of trouble if you know what I mean. For the square footage though you can probably find something for half the price in Laureles. But it definitely will not have the views that you get from the roof pool area of Energy,
