Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Gary Groundwork]Generally speaking those cam girls do that on cam for a reason. Because they don't want to be hookers and sleep with strangers. If they did they could make ten times more cash. Loads have colombian boyfriends even though they will tell you different.

The hottest cam girls are in eastern europe. Romania etc. You gona go their next? Tell me you're not one of those sad sacks that sits at his computer all day jerking off thinking that the girl wants you.

But if you'ré willing to dish out big bucks to drop a load then anything is possible.

You will find just as hot in some of the casas.

Good luck.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your answear and LOL no am not one of those who sit and jerks off in front of the computer, I have a great life in europe and travel to Brazil, been living there 2x 4 mnths a time and play golf and meet only non pros, stunning good educated girls, I meet a girl here who was from Medellin, she been living here for 2 years, so thats why I was searching for some Colombian girls and ended up on a cam site, so all I did was asking about them, and yes you are right, but am sure if you meet one of them in a normal setting, if you have a game, you could get lucky.

And about Romania, well if you have a network there in Bucharest you will have fun, if not, prepear for some hard work, I like Kiev and Prague and Budapest more, maybe because I have more friends and a solid network there.

[QUOTE=Hotrod10]Let me make just a few small changes and additions to my original report. The first two bumps I felt after leaving the cab were probably my imagination. But, that put me on a much higher level of alertness. When the bad guy put his hand in my front pocket he more than likely knew that was were my money was because he say me exit the cab just one half a block back. All else aside I did learn more than one lesson. Normally I carry my cash front pocket thinking thats the safest place. Well there are safer places but that requires some preplanning. I've never felt comfortable with any kind of money belt, all seem to have drawbacks, but that may be the answer. I have several types that I have collected over the years so I think I will start experimenting here at home and submit a report later. Oh yes also. I never carry money in my wallet just a copy of my passport.drivers lisc.. Cc.ect. Well as some one pointed out, It really isn't necessary to carry a wallet. They are right. Any thing that isn't necessary is just one mor thing you don't have to protect. Any comments?[/QUOTE]I only carry enough cash for one days activities and split it up (roughly) between both front pockets. I carry a copy of my passport and an expired credit card with a fake pin# written on the card itself. If someone robs me or pickpockets me they will get enough to probably make them happy but not enough to make me lose sleep over it. At the end of the day they will go back to whatever rock they crawled from under and I am going back to my hotel with a hot chica.

This could be to supplement their income. It's hard to find a real job. If they could fuck, they would! It's hard to find clients though. Most end up doing Mayorista. Casas and stripclubs are very inflexible. Most have babies and it's hard to keep the schedule. Thinking a cam girl is any better than a pro is flat out wrong.

As I reported earlier, a good idea is any variety of cargo pants (long or short) with lots of flap over pockets and/or zippers is a must have for Latin America. Also, I choose to not tuck in my shirt to cover over my pockets all together.

Since I will be a newby to MDE next month, I was wondering the best way to go about exchanging currency. We were thinking of getting enough pesos at the airport for the cab and small incidentals until we get to the hotel. The hotel we're staying in El Paplado is supposed to have a currency exchange. I also hear ATMs are a good choice if used at a bank during the day ( I always let my bank know where I'm going and what dates :). If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing. I undwerstand they don't loke taking US currency, does that apply for the columbianas too?

[QUOTE=Escort King]Know any interesting women in Amsterdam?[/QUOTE]Hi King:

Only true a few bud's who lives there and non pros, but yeah great place for everything. What you looking for? Non pros? Pros?

There are various ATM's at the airport. You will get a better rate. You can withdraw 100, 000 pesos (50. 00 USD give or take) for your initial move from the airport to El Poblado.

ATM's are everywhere, banks, shopping centers etc. U. S currency is not going to be too useful in Colombia.

No one uses dollars there.

Frank, with all due respect, you are way of base.

This is just an example of escalation and it's probably going to ruin Eros for all other gringos.

One. Apparently they have rules and they need to be followed. If that is explained from the get go that is understandeable. I would have not ever agreed to such a thing to begin with and gone somewhere els.

Two. You were not in danger until you rushed over the Security guy. It was not about danger, it was a matter that I was not going to wait 6 hours for her to wake up. I was ready to go to my hotel and hit the sack myself since I had places to B.

Three. Would have made a greater effort to explain the situation until you all agreed. Where you there? I explained, I accomodated their request of going back to the room, attempted to wake her up in front of a staff member, and she was out cold. The only agreement they wanted was for me to stay. I was not going to do that.

Three.. But you probably didn't want to pay the girl and that might have clouded your judgement. Are you a mind reader now? I did not have a problem on paying her, but I was definitely not going to pay for no service. There was no judgement cloudness here. It all started when I asked for a blanket and the first thing from the mouth of the desk attendant was that we were not an overnight stay. Well, if I was going to be cold, and ready to sleep and then asked to stay, I didn't see the point.

Last. Colombians are very easy going, but if you give them a reason to justify aggression you are up shit's creek. When they do is ussually "agua panela", an expression which means 2 or more on one. A very common expression. So for now guys, I would stay away from Eros, thanks to Mr. Latin Bound. I have traveled most of Latin America without an incident. I have been going to Medellin for years now. During 2009 alone I went there four times. Did I mention I have business associates there and planning on relocating? What makes you believe I am ignorant about what goes on in Medellin? BTW, I've been to Eros myself before. Nothing like this has happened previously. Just for your information, I went to El Raudal next day and had a conversation with a couple of the walkers I have talked to previously and discussed the situation with them. NOT ONE had an issue with it. As a matter of fact one of them even stated that she was going to talk to the administration there. If that happened or not, that is far fetched. So Frank, don't drop this one on me just because you want to steer people to Mayorista.

I did not use any force that was not called for. I talked and explained calmly. The only thing I didn't do, that in retrospect could have eased the situation was to offer a couple of thousand pesos to the guard and probably that woudl have end that. However, by the time I saw them lock the gate that was when all bets were off. It was obvious they were not ready to listen to any reason whatsoever.

Just tell the cab driver to stop at Citibank once you have decended fron Rio negro you can get upto 1, 000, 000 pesos each time you use it. Remember is colombianas and poblado.

For the first timer I will suggest you not to be showing us currency to anybody in Medellin you are going to be asking for free trouble remember you are going to be in Colombia not a USA city as far you giving colombianas dollars remember most of these females have boyfriends they can set you up on date just to robbed you so be vigilant and a smart consumer LOL. Visit loutron above poblado you won't regret it. Medellin is a atm and credit card friendly.

I LOVE Medellin, as do many here, but now I know you're pulling my leg!

I for one am sick of people asking for the best way to get peso's in Colombia. Read the Fuckin board and for the 100th time the answer is use the ATM

Gentlemen,

Will be making my first trip to Medellin with three friends next week. I speak so-so Spanish and I've traveled a decent amount in Latin America (cartagena, cali, bogota, caracas, rio, etc.) so I'm not totally clueless. Sounds like the casas are very popular in Medellin. I don't think my friends would have that much interest in going to a place that is all business. I think they would rather drink and mingle with the girls and not be hassled to hook-up with the girls quickly.

Are there any Casas that are more laid back than what I described above?

Are there any clubs with independent chicas like Help in Rio or La Dolce Vida in Cartagena?

Are there any clubs that have a mix of regular chicas and prepagos? I think one of the postings mentioned mangos as having some prepagos.

And last but not least, any relatively safe areas (preferably with bars) to hang out where street walkers are in the vicinity. I'm thinking La Mayorista area is a bit to sketchy for us on our first trip.

Appreciate any comments! Feel free to post a link if this info is contained in a report. Did quite a bit of research, but still a bit lost with the scene in Medellin. BTW- We will also be going to regular clubs. I'll post a report when I return.

This is my first report. I am a frequent visitor to Medellin and an occasional monger.

I have checking accounts at a big bank (BB), a credit union (CU), credit cards with both as well as with Citibank American airlines (AA), and Capitol One (CO). I have savings accounts with Capital One (CO) and debit cards with BB, CU, and two with CO. The problem with credit cards and debit cards in Medellin is that frequently things don't work the way they are supposed to and also there are extra charges to withdraw money, even from your own savings accounts.

On my last trip to Medellin it was very difficult to use my CO and CU credit cards. I finally paid my hotel bill with my CO credit card but the hotel had to make a phone call to a Colombian bank to arrange for that. Both my AA and BB credit cards charge 3 per cent for "foreign transactions" so I never use them in Colombia. My CU credit card charges 1 per cent, CO charges zero. For a list of major banks and what they charge for foreign transactions go to google and type in "banks foreign exchange fees". The second or third listing is [url]www.Flyerguide.com[/url] which is very helpful.

Bancolombia accepts my CU and BB debit cards but not my CO. Servibank accepts BB and CU but wants $5 per transaction. Optimal turns out to be to use a Citibank ATM machine (cajero) and an online Capital One account. Citibank charges zero and so does CapitalOne. CapOne has a $500 a day limit but this is on each account and you can open as many as you want. I found this out by opening two by accident. If you go to google and type in "citibank Colombia", the first entry is something like [url]www.Latam[/url]., click on servicios, then a new page pops up, go to sucursales and click on "mas info", another new page pops up and click on Bogota or "pais". You get a list of all the citibank cajeros in Colombia. For example, there are 20 in Bogota and 5 in Medellin.

Particularly convenient is the Citibank cajero in Centro Comercial San Diego in Medellin. It is open 24/7 and there is plenty of security around. It is located about 200 yards from Show San Diego although the two are separated by a major thoroughfare. It is about a mile from Fase Dos.

It took about ten days for me to set up the CapOne accounts. I deposited checks and it took that long for the checks to clear. They walk you through the process, you get one debit card for each account. If you want to withdraw, say, $2000 a day you will need 4 accounts. Type "Capital One online banking" into google.

How does one remember the 4 digit code for each account? Here is a method. Find a 4 digit number that is easy to remember. For example suppose your brothers birthday is July 4, 1988. Then 7488 is your code. Write the PIN number on the card but encode it first by adding modulo 10. If your PIN is 1234 then you write 8612 on the card, I. E. 1234 + 7488 = 8612. When you go to use the card just subtract, I. E. 8612. 7488 = 1234. Addition and subtraction modulo 10 are easier than ordinary addition and subtraction because you don't have to carry. Actually I write a couple of extra numbers on my cards and remember that they don't mean anything. X9718612 instead of just 8612.

Happy mongering,

O Velho.
