[QUOTE=LuckyNuts;2546935]I'd be very surprised if any curfew was extended past April 5 until the next 3 day weekend. That has been the pattern. Latinos believe a 3 day weekend means to gather in groups of 20 to 50 and party without regard to anything else. Their government is trying to tell them it's not reccommened at this time. Tough through it and enjoy normal life again next week, imo. Until the next 3 day weekend.[/QUOTE]Especially Easter, yes I think you are correct. No one wants this.
Hi colleagues,
If all go well with massive vaccination I'm planing to visit Medellin around mid year.
I do not want go in black by this I just open a SA account, but also wanted to find FB girls previous the trip. Any advise on that will be great. I'm trying to find on FB but not sure how to identify it the right ones.
Have a great day.
I am currently staying at ground zero surrounded by foreigners. I thought everything was open until 5:00 pm and then everything was closed after 5:00 pm (except Rappi). Oops. Only essential businesses are open until 5:00 pm then everything is closed after 5:00 pm.
Day before lock down the thieves were busy trying to get some money. Four thefts in the daylight hours. Pretty busy out so I think most were caught.
Day one of the lock down the place was packed. No thefts that I saw because so packed that there was no where to run. 95% of everyone cleared off the streets by 6:00 pm.
Day two and half the street girls never showed up for work. The late shift girls either did not get the memo or are just stupid and did not bother to come early. They showed up at 3:00 pm as is habit for them. They may have been thinking the police would run most people off but leave them mostly alone as they walk around the block as if they are leaving. Nope. I also assumed the police would not be enforcing this lock down too tightly but was wrong. 95% of people cleared by 5:30 pm.
Day three and 80% of the street girls did not show up for work. There was a good rain for an hour. Many restaurants that could open are closed. But I feel more because holiday rather than the lock down. Stupid thief in his mid 20's steals a phone from another mid 20 year old with no accomplices to block the victim. When the thief runs away the victim is less than a meter behind him. This idiot steals the phone at the corner of the church when the police are clearing the streets and are at every corner. He runs towards Park Berrio Station where there is always a few police present. He ran past the first group of police but was caught of course. I know he got a good beating for making the police run after him. 95% of street cleared by 5:00. They started clearing at 4:30 pm and formed a line of 5+ across.

All in all very happy but you also get girls who want a real relationship if you want to go the 90 day fiancé route.

Thanks for the update the whole thing sounds so stupid I mean the people going to go home where all the virus is passed around inside.

Most people don't have 50-100 k people passing through their homes every day, unless they live next to the Jehovah's Witnesses.
[QUOTE=Kafka;2547439]Thanks for the update the whole thing sounds so stupid I mean the people going to go home where all the virus is passed around inside.[/QUOTE]It appears the dry law, no alcohol sales from 6 pm to 5 am, will continue at least until Friday in Medellin, along with Pico why Cedula. After that who knows. Medellin ICU usage is at 95% and the department of Antioquía is at 90%. They've already started transferring patients out of Medellin to cities with more ICU availability.
My opinion is that they will continue with the restrictions for at least 3 more weeks, possibly into May. Meanwhile the Dominican Republic is advertising heavily that they're wide open for business.
[QUOTE=Kafka;2547439]Thanks for the update the whole thing sounds so stupid I mean the people going to go home where all the virus is passed around inside.[/QUOTE]The aim is to stay inside with their own households, the people who they are inside with regularly anyway. Also to keep people off the streets and away from operative public transit to make it more difficult to move around and congregate in large numbers in private residences. And of course night clubs and other indoor venues where people tend to congregate are closed. This all serves a legit purpose and is motivated by the need to keep ICU units from overflowing.

Yesterday one of my girls in Peru told me that she is still getting over covid. I asked how she got it because she is a school teacher and they have been doing classes over the internet so she has not been going anywhere. She said that her brothers work outside though and one of them picked it up and brought it home.

On Thursday it was so bad that I didn't even a take a girl upstairs, and I had to dig dip into my rolodex and found one of my regulars who came and met me in EL Centro at noon on Good Friday and we spent three hours together.
On Saturday I arrived at ground zero at 9 AM and by 10 AM it was starting to fill up with girls. Hence after the primary holidays they were back out at work to make some money.
With the continuation of the lockdown now with it beginning at 6 PM, all of the working girls, even those who typically show up in the afternoons will all start to show up earlier, so I suspect it's going to be very busy mid-day now at ground zero, versus between the hours of between 4 and 6 PM when there used to be a shift change.
As far as what you witnessed at 5 PM, I have always been gone before than, but have been told that they have like ten busses in El Centro, and if your out after the curfew without a valid excuse they stick you in the bus, take you somewhere, and lock you up for 36 hours and charge you something like 90,000 Pesos, that's at least what one of my regulars told me.
On Good Friday I also noticed a lot of street people sleeping around ground zero on benches, stoops, all over the place and have never seen so many, or maybe they've always been there but they didn't stick out in the past because the streets were so deserted.
I'm going to be staying at this hotel in June. Has anyone ever stated here before? I imagine I will be looking at pulling girls from Centro but have to figure out how to get some to come to the hotel at night without staying on the streets to long for myself at night. Any suggestions or experience shared about this hotel or area would be appreciated.

[QUOTE=Antonio2019;2391524]Hi friends,
Next week will be my first time in Medellin, I will be grateful with advises and recommendations about where can I get sexy paisas (strip clubs, massage salons, escorts pages).[/QUOTE]Did you actually go to Medellin? If so, why didn't you contribute a trip report? Not trying to troll or insult you. It's just that guys like you who ask questions and beg for help, but who then don't write trip reports afterwards, are frequently ignored in the ISG forums.
Happy mongering, and we look forward to reading your trip reports.
Curfew question. I assume that a 5 pm curfew means that you can't be out in public on foot. Can you be in a taxi on your way home? In other words, can a girl come over at 4 and stay till 7, then go home?
TIA.
Is it possible to get around the Pico and Cedula restrictions if your passport ends in an even number, and your driver's license ends in an odd number?
Can you carry the passport on the even days, and just your driver's license on the odd days?

No major dramas en route apart from the check in girl inisiting I need proof of accommodation and wanting to see a lease LOL. In polite terms I told her it's total BS as none of the official info states this requirement. She starts calling head office in Amsterdam saying I don't have proof of accommodation while admitting on the phone its not listed as a requirement on the official site KLM use (Travel Doc? And advise passengers to use. I think they must have told her to stop being silly as she dropped the phone and accepted defeat but she did worry me a bit.
At surfer. On the last lockdown within the last hour the roads and traffic became insanely busy. I was with a chica and it was almost impossible to get a taxi, I wouldn't even attempt to get on the metro as I'm sure there would be a mass exodus. A street urchin was trying to get taxis for people and I got panicky that I would be stuck.
This time I will stay max 2 hours before lockdown hits as I want to be well out of there as comfortably as possible not standing on the roadside for nearly an hour in a sea of people trying to get out.
If anyone wants to meet for a beer, swap stories and roam centro shoot me a PM.
