Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=PolloNegro;2419484]Clearly, many of us are from different age groups, and clearly the things that many of you do does not apply to younger guys, none whatsoever. I don't really have to wrestle with these girls or come to the board and proclaim that any of the girls in Medellin are banging me for free. Personally, I have heard all kinds of stories about chics who bang guys for free in Medellin, but I have yet to confirm that it occurs. I have not seen one freebie in Centro, I haven't but hey, maybe I'm just a different guy.[/QUOTE]You're probably not going to find any freebies in El Centro. You're not out there trying to cultivate that type of relationship. You're there to find them, fuck them, pay them and send them out the door. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Go find some of the expats who have been living in Medellin for several years. You'll find many of them are getting frequent freebies. I'm sure when you're back home you have the opportunity for lots of freebies. I know I have plenty of options and I'm an old, hunchbacked freak. It's a different dynamic when you live there. Of course, it all depends on how a guy treats others.

[QUOTE]What I do know is that there is a lot of confusion on the board out of sheer spite, and it doesn't have to be that way. I've seen numerous Gringos come to Medellin and get a taste of Centro and wish like hell they had not stayed in Poblado. Why would I pay 3 times the rent and 3 times the amount for a girl when I can get the same or better experience in Centro for less? All I have to do is be patient. For the longest, I have not seen anyone post anything outstanding about the girls that they bang. All I see is, she was a 7.5 nearly an 8. 0 but she wasn't all that. Why in the hell would I follow that route when clearly you didn't like your own experience at the place you were located?[/QUOTE]And I've seen guys who decided to land in El Centro, hid in their hotel room for 1 night and then ran away to Poblado. Everyone has to find their own level. As for paying 3 times as much, last trip the total cost for my 10 nights lodging, in a 3 Bed, 2 Bath apartment with an excellent pool and fitness center came to exactly $0.00 USD (or 0.000 COP). Unfortunately, I'll have to pay for lodging next time.

Also the experience you have doesn't translate to anyone else. Even if someone bangs all the same girls you do, their experience with each will be different.

[QUOTE]If you are complaining about prices and time, then you either don't speak Spanish and haven't figured out that most Colombian women are always late, at least an hour. If you see your date arrive with her boyfriend or cousin or pimp, you have every right to tell her that you do want to date her, but something inside of your little mind wants to hear the lie that she is willing to tell to secure you $250,00 pesos. Currently that Is $73 usd. So if you're complaining about $73.00 but staying in a $100 a night room maybe you should stay in your lane, because you're clearly over spending and out of your league.[/QUOTE]Colombians have the "maana" attitude. The clock isn't a top priority. I try to use that to my favor. Very few women are in a rush to leave and I'm usually in no rush for them to leave.

Who a girl arrives with, or what she does after leaving isn't my problem, neither is what she's going to do with the money. If I hire someone to take care of my lawn, my only concern is they do what they're being paid to do, not what they're having for dinner.

I don't complain about how much I pay, or worry about losing a few dollars. I would never stay in a $100 per night room, not in Medellin. There are too many options for under $35 and I can get around the city better than most.

[QUOTE]This thread has more, complaints, more consumers, more experimenters than I can shake a stick at. Pick a struggle, either the girls are too difficult, too expensive, rushing you, or you really don't know how to achieve what you want and have not been able to express to the girl what it is that you want. My last trip was the worst trip ever and I still managed to bang 16 chics in 2 days and give an accurate report about Centro.[/QUOTE]Everyone is different. We've got guys who say you should only treat the girls like garbage, others want to treat them like queens. There are guys who want to party 24/7 and guys who never touch drugs or alcohol. Some want 6 girls a day, some want 1 girl for 6 days. Some want them chunky, some skinny, some young, some old, some pregnant, some not. Some guys say there's no reason to try and talk with the girls, some enjoy the conversations.

The guys who don't know what they want are the ones hitting your PMs (and mine) wanting contact numbers, wanting pictures and details. They read a report and treat it like a porno. They want to put themselves in the starring role. Most of us already learned to walk our own path and find our own girls. We don't need to worry if everyone else can see we're having a good time.

[QUOTE]Here's the tea guys, come to Medellin, find some girls, fuck'them and then go home, it's as simple as that. Pollo Negro is out![/QUOTE]See? That wasn't so difficult.

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2419494]Yeah, Mondongos is OK. In that price range I usually go for Parmessano or Hacienda. Hato Viejo is of comparable quality to Mondongos. Up in the Barrio Buenos Aires the La Estacion barbecue restaurant is good and very inexpensive. It's a couple of doors from the Mercado del Tranvia. In the Mercado there are a dozen or so.[/QUOTE]Try Bottega de Verde in Ciudad del Rio for Italian. It's near the Museum of Modern Art. El Botaniko in Provenza (not to be confused with La Botanika at Parque Lleras which has a great Burger, or El Botaniko next to New Life) is excellent, but pricey. Bao Bei on Carrera 36, just off Calle 10 for great Asian fusion. Tiny place, so there's always a wait. The Korean BBQ across from the'Andres on Carrera 37 is also quite good. If you want lots of food for a reasonable price, Thaico at Parque Lleras offers everything half price from lunch to (I believe) 6 pm. Easily enough for 2 for about 13 k. Just be sure to tell them spicy. They also have 3 for 1 drink deals.

For breakfast, it's hard to beat the'Andres, although I always enjoy El Desayunero on Calle 10. Hotel DuParc Royal also does a good breakfast buffet. Back in Provenza, Arabe is another I'd recommend (if I'm remembering the right place). Full Arabe in Laureles is another good spot for dinner. El Apache on Carrera 70 used to do a good steak, but looks like they're closed now.

I've found a lot of good places by getting away from the main areas. In Laureles everyone focuses on La 70 or Avenida Nutibara, but there are dozens of nice spots on the surrounding streets. Or, head somewhere, anywhere, flag down a taxi and start asking the driver about restaurants. Found a few excellent spots around Obrero that way.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2419696]Saturday in Barranquilla I put my card in a Bancolombia machine to take out 600K. It gave me some kind of message but no money. I know sometimes when machines in third world countries do that you can select a smaller amount and it will work. So I put my card in again and tried 400K. Still the same thing.

When I got to Medellin yesterday and checked my account, it showed I had taken out $181 (600K) and that $122 (400K) was also taken out at the same machine but reversed. I immediately called Schwab and the lady did whatever to file the dispute. My days of using Bancolombia machines are over.[/QUOTE]I had this happen with servico atms, the green ones that carter to foreigners. Well it turns out that the weekend it happened they banks implemented their switches and if you had an ATM code that was greater then 4 digits, it would charge the bank but not dispess the cash. THe solution, I had to change my pin from 6 to 4 digits. However during that time I had them refund like $600 and it was al cleared and taken care of.

Good catch, these ATMS do mad shady stuff from time to time but it's all good as long as you pay attention.

Wow! I landed last night and I try to use uber and a weird message came up.

Turns out the enforcement of making uber llegal in Colombia was just implemented on the 1st of Febuary.

I can't belive this country just kissed away 40 MIl in tax revenue. What a joke. Easy taxi still works though.

[QUOTE=KillaCam11;2419454]What do you guys stock up on to ensure the ladies have a good time and don't want to leave?

So far I'm thinking of having Ron, Coca Cola, tussi, xtasis. What else do you guys recommenced? Food and drink wise, what do the ladies like?[/QUOTE]And for some the cheap little black plastic bags with a touch of glue to sniff, ahhhh that smells like shit.

The Tall Man.

So I decided to stay at the Mansion on Saturday night and brought along one of Amigas to spend the night with me. Upon arriving around 5 PM we were warmly greeted by the Mansion staff, and upon registering and paying we were taken to our room. Nicely appointed room for the locale, and the bed was very comfortable, which was immediately utilized upon the closing of the door. After we completed our first session I informed my Amiga that I had a bottle of red wine, cheese, and crackers for us to share so we went upstairs to the balcony on the fourth floor, pulled up some chairs, and took in a beautiful sunset. I handed her the bottle of wine and the corkscrew and asked her to un-cork the wine. She was clueless not knowing what a corkscrew was let alone a cork for that matter. Her liquor experience as she told me was limited to Rum, Aquardiente, and Cerveza. Regardless, I opened up the wine, poured it into the plastic cups I had brought and we started munching on the cheese and crackers. After about five minutes two guys came up to the balcony and were drinking beers, followed by another couple of came up and started smoking weed. Directly below us was Parque Perdista, also known as "Stoners Park". The other guests drinking beer and smoking weed were a bit perplexed to see someone with a bottle of wine, cheese, and crackers. Anyways, after we finished the bottle of wine we decided to go to dinner and spent some time in the park. Lot's and lots of people, musical instruments, and everyone had something in common. It was either a drink (beer, rum, aguardiente) in one hand, or a joint in one hand, or one of each in each hand, and / or Coke to snort. Vendors were selling joints of Marijuana for 2,000 Pesos and bags of Coke for 4,000 Pesos. I watched some of the transactions and what people were paying. After spending time in the park we went to a Chinese place around the corner and then came back thru the park and my Amiga purchased a joint. We went back up to the room, and were ready for another session and my Amiga said she wanted to get high so she went up to the balcony, I declined, and when she came back she was like a female dog (Perra) in heat ready to tumble. An amorous nymphomaniac, I was in heaven and after the second session we fell asleep, albeit there was some noise from the street but not really from the other clients in the rooms and I was woken up a few times during the night. And around six in the morning I woke up with morning wood which was easily taken care of by my Amiga. We slept some more after our third session and finally departed around 10:30 AM and I was totally des-leched. So the total damage for this extravaganza was approximately 35 K for the room, 30 K for dinner, 30 K for wine / cheese / crackers, 2 K for my Amigas joint, 6 K for transport, and 150 K for my Amiga. So I spent a whopping 253 K or about $ 75 USD for a romantic evening of sexual debauchery, and my Amiga was thanking me profusely for such a good time and so much money.

So would I recommend the Mansion to others. If you like to get high but don't have to, have a good tolerance for noise, and don't mind a room with the minimum (hot water, flat screen TV, & Fan) and speak some Spanish it could be a lot of fun. I know other gringos frequent the park there, but I don't think so many other gringos actually spend the night there, perhaps some of the other posters have. Way different scene then the "Little Caracas" part of town. I have no problem going back. I'm not there to get high on drugs, but to be devoured by and devour my Amiga when she is in heat.

Anyone can provide some more details about this?

My debit card has a 5-digit PIN. I have always used it without problems in Colombia. Now you are saying that the PIN must be 4-digit, or it will not work but cause that mess? It's incredible to say the least!

What should I do, except changing the PIN to 4 digits? (which is not possible, as my bank wisely does not allow shorter PINs).

Mr. E, what do you mean with "reversed"? That your account lists a withdrawal, but the same amount has been immediately returned because the transaction has been recognized as not happened?

[QUOTE=SJobs;2419654]But I'm pretty sure people on this thread will have a pretty good idea on whether they will pay a pregnant chick twice as much as a knock-out 18-year-old. My guess is the pregnant chick is worth about the same, if not unless than a 9+ 18-year-old who is not pregnant..[/QUOTE]My guess is that the pregnant Chicas are not going to get anymore than the non-pregnant Chicas contrary to what Mr. E might think. Yes they are a novelty for sure, but maybe in a negative way versus a positive way. Or I suppose for the Aficionados, kind of like something rare which they are willing to pay more for. Perhaps in the next few days I will interview a few and find out how much they want, but I would be surprised if they actually get more than the others but could be totally wet on that one.

Because I literally had it happen over night with some weird ATM firmware update and it was sooo hard for me to figure ut out.

It's in small print, you got to contact your back and find out. I think it has to do with the switching company thtat the ATM in Colombia and the bank in the US has on the backend.

A five digit pin number? When I use my Wells Fargo and Bank of America Cards say at Colpatria or BanColombia ATM it always ask for my four digit PIN number. On the screen it shows four lines.

Mind if I ask what bank you use that has a five digit number?

I also have a BanColombia debit card as well, and it onlly has a 4 digit PIN number so something is weird.

Heading down at the end of the month for 3 weeks. This is exactly how I'd like to spend each day. Sounds great.

Last time I was there, they were asking for 85 dollars a night, I didn't have a reservation at the time and I already have a big Airbnb apartment, so I just paid the 50 K entrance fee to the bar.

I did repeated withdraws several times in a row but no bills came out. I was charged multiple times but they were reversed back to my account automatically. I only called my bank to confirm the deposits of the failed withdraws. Their ATMs are everywhere but I will avoid using them again.

I used to have a picture of that Mansion, even went inside and checked out one of the rooms.

Here's a suggestion for your next romantic get away. It's going to cost a little bit more, but not much.

Hop on the south bound Metro with your current girl. Don't forget the wine and weed. Take it to the Ayura station. From the station walk south along the Autopista for about 2 blocks to Motel Ibiza. Or you could splurge and pay 15 k for the taxi.

The room, depending on what you take from the mini-bar, will cost about 100 k. You'll find real wine glasses, a jacuzzi tub, an incredible shower, a nice sound system, a stripper pole, a love chair and a nice big bed. You have to pay extra after 6 hours, but it's reasonable. Room service is available and I understand the food is good. There are ashtrays in the room, so smoking does happen.

Lacks the culture of Parque de Las periodistas, bit it has it's own charm.

[QUOTE=SJobs;2419649]Where are some good legit massage places in Medellin, any of them in Poblado?[/QUOTE]Go to Centro Comercial Rio Sur on Avenida Poblado. It's across from Oviedo mall. Inside there are 3 legit massage places. OM Spa for men has been reviewed a few times. The Garage Spa, offshoot from the Garage Barber shop is also there, but no reviews that I'm aware of. And then there's Zen Exclusive Spa.

I've been to Zen twice, both times the massage was excellent and both girls were happy with taking care of the little muscle that popped up. Both looked to be early to mid 20's and very attractive.

If I remember correctly, 180 k for the hour, including the happy ending.
