Medellin Reports

Many of the casa girls live north of Centro. To schlep to Poblado they have to get through traffic jams in both directions and get home hours later than usual. Some of them have to pay child care, care for elderly relatives, and often prepare evening meals. Worst of all, it is risky because stick up boys target taxis coming out of Poblado at night, especially around San Diego. So don't take it personally, it's about the travel.

[QUOTE=Combo;2465257]This is absolutely true and I'm not sure why some here refuse to acknowledge it. Girls charge significantly different prices depending on where they are. I'd witnessed all sorts of permutations on this. For those that remember Geraldine from way back, she was charging 150 k at the Mansion and was available for 25 k at Mayorista. I've seen Fase 2 girls hanging around downtown available at a fraction of what they'd cost at the club. I've seen "Mansion girls" working at casas fucking guys for a fraction of what they'd get from a guest at the house.

My last trip in February, I met a very hot looking girl at a casa during the day. After the session, I got her number and later asked her to visit me in Poblado. We agreed on 150k + taxi for her to visit me. But she said if I got a motel downtown, 50 K was fine. After we fucked again (downtown), I asked her why she wanted three times as much to visit me. She said that she didn't feel like traveling to Poblado. It doesn't make sense, but she apparently had a comfort zone.

Of course every prepago doesn't do this. But a hell of a lot of them do..[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=SpiderRider;2465271]Two disgraceful, repulsive foreigners (gringos?) at 2'57" I saw them today as I walked to my bus after shopping for glasses and phone accessories downtown. They, and a couple of others look as bad or worse than the homeless Colombians with untreated mental illness in my neighborhood. In the army they'd surely get the sheep sheers and wire brush clean-up treatment.[/QUOTE]Damn you got good eyes and see stuff, impressive as I watched the whole 5 minute video earlier today and observed if I could see myself as I knew that I was walking botero and the vera on July 3rd, but no sightings of The Tall Man on the video.

Your right about those 2 gringos, my god what an embarrassment to any gringo anywhere, but to each his own.

The Tall Man.

LOL! Those guys are regulars in the plaza.

The ATM offered withdrawal selections of 1,540,000 and 2,000,000 COP. In the past the max was always 400,000 in Medellin, Cucuta, Bogota, Cartagena, and my first month in Barranquilla. This is a huge jump. I chose 400,000 but had a bad feeling so jerked out my card. Received a TRANSACTION ERROR and a print out ticket saying error no money paid. But money was deducted from my Schwab account. Schwab denied the claim even though tI sent picture of receipt with none payment. I called and explained this is a slam dunk. Look at your own description. All my withdrawals have format of:

Calle 53 No 46-192, Bar be / QUILL.

Carrera 51 # 50-26 MEDELLI.

Calle 28 No. 13 A - 17 Bogota.

Except this one that ripped me off:

Davivienda Davi be / QUILL 0800100 be / QUIL.

I thought it was a skimmer or something because it was during the weekend. Weeks later I tried again. Same high amount. Went to 3 banks and all the same high amounts offered. Fine I selected my regular 400,000. During processing (counting) (but no noise) I receive the Error screen and no money. Same description on my Schwab account. Schwab finally paid both.

Arrive at Medellin bus station I try again and the same high amounts offered so I walked away. Never use Davivienda again! Now use BBVA with no fees. Highest withdrawal is 600,000.

The picture of 2,000,000 withdrawal selection.

[QUOTE=PolloNegro;2464587]with a 18 year guarantee [/QUOTE]Sorry but really an 18 year quote guarantee there in Colombia?? Even in USA Dental companies come and go but man you are in Colombia and even dentists in USA Have implants fail then have to fight them literally tooth and nails.

FYI. Knowledge and PolloNegro. The Admins will be kicking you off this site. No food porn! That only belongs in the darkest furthest corner of the Dark Web.

Saw a girl with a T-shirt that read hotter than wasabi. Of course it was on a fat ugly girl. It should be illegal to to sell T-shirt such as that or PHAT (pretty hot and tempting) to ugly or fat girls. A line needs to be drawn. Be outraged!

Strange no ARA markets here. Only Justo and Bueno and D1. Hate D1. Their fruit juice have less juice content than the other stores and they had the worst cola I have ever tasted. Petty yes. But petty I am. This is highly valuable information that needs to get out there. Rant over.

I feel horrible about all guys not here and I wanted to do a dedication to as many of you as I can. So this is what I came up with. I finish doggie style. When the time is right I say, "I am cumming. I am cumming". Then she screams out loud what I have written on the piece of paper in front of her.

OMG! Frank, Sammy, Bart. You are the best!

There are a lot of you so have to do 3 names at a time. You are welcome.

So ashamed. Jumped the gun. First girl in Medellin suckered me. Took her shirt off and her small boobs got even smaller. Like half. Hate that! But later that day I saw a girl with a nice rack walking toward me. But as she past by where I was sitting I could see her bra sticking out many inches from her boobs. She was 3 sizes smaller than here bra. We should be able to sue women for false advertising because it is emotionally devastating! Let me say that again devastating! What? You are asking could it get worse? Of course. She looked 5 years older when she took off the face mask. But she was pretty good lay. But I believe in balance in the world so I promptly compensated with this fake boob girl.

I have seen many begpackers like that in Medellin. Locals don't seem to mind that much though.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2465236]
Next you ask about the security camera system and who is watching, you may think that it is a small room with maybe a cop haphazardly looking from time to time at a small screen! HUH they have a fully staffed and professionally equipment command center with multiple big screens, tracking camera systems, recording devices for all cameras, this rivals what you would find in a system in the USA. I have seen it.
[/QUOTE]I hope that this system will protect us from being mugged, because others have said that as soon as the tourist police disappear, any gringo is very vulnerable to gangs with knives.

Glad I only live 3 hours away from Colombia and I have to problem flying back down if I have any problems with my teeth, currently 1 year later, and I am more than happy with the service that I have been provided. Pollo Negro is out!

The withdrawal limits maybe lower, however, their ATM's used to be Citibank's; they bought them off before they left Colombia. It's a Canadian bank and they have been 100%, (no issues from them or Citibank in over 15 years of travel) in any city that I've visited in Colombia and other countries.

Had another guy tell me he didn't like Davivienda because he could only pull 400 k. We went to the same ATM. He was offered a maxif 400 k, I was offered up to 2 million.

In March I was withdrawing 3,600,000 COP a day with two of my ATM cards when the COP exchange rate was over 4,000 COP to and depositing into my Bancolombia account.
