Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=PolloNegro;2550191]I am in Medellin and it is a bit different, the law is a bit more strict about Pico why cedula, meaning they will not allow you into the stores (the bank for me, they wouldn't take my driver's license over my passport) and did not allow me to retrieve money that I had sent myself on Thursday when I arrived and told me to come back on Friday, assuring me that they would be open, guess what? They were closed and I had to really walk all over centro and Medellin to find a Bancolombia to retrieve my cash, other than that, girls are readily available if you already have your list of reliable girls. I have a list of reliable girls, so the girls were no problem. I rented a very expensive Finca through Airbnb and they cancelled on me, luckily I went through airbnb and not anyone I know personally so they immediately refunded my money plus a $150 gift certificate after I contacted BOA and informed them not to pay these people as they had assured me that the finca would be open, guess what, they lied. Luckily I have an apartment here, with a girlfriend, and plenty of food, so we are partying like rock stars here at my apartment, wish it would have been at the nice finca, but oh well, I needed a break from the USA and I have really relaxed, rested, had fun at parties and is currently getting ready to return to America tomorrow. All in all not bad for a 5 day get away at a price of about $240 usd, hope all of you guys are having fun who are here in Medellin, but do not take the curfew lightly, I clearly see they are really handing out fines this year, which was not the case last year. Pollo Negro is out![/QUOTE]Good to see you back in Medellin PN. My cell phone took a dump last week so lost your digits but had a Samsung tech down in centro, in all those shops over towards Junin, he was able to salvage the contacts for me so I can now re-establish my contacts, yip-yee!

The cell tech guy charged me, get this, 1 mil to salvage all of my contacts. Got to love Colombia! I gave him 4 mil and he was thrilled. He does not know it but I spent literally 5 days and about 6 hours trying to do what he accomplished in about 20 minutes.

You mentioned that your leaving tomorrow?

[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2550005]There was an existing structure. We had foundation and walls already. Transportation of materials is right about at 50% of total cost. Added more walls with adobes. We formed five of these pillars with rebar while I was there because we are adding a second story. I wouldn't call it an Estate, jaja, pretty ramshackle at this stage, but our casa will probably be the biggest one there once we are done, still less than 1500 sq ft.

I am really doing it for Catgirl so she will always have a place to go without having to worry about rent for the rest of her life. If the Richard Burton / Liz Taylor relationship I have with Catgirl ends on a sour note, I can walk away without a second thought. That is one of the many wonderful things about Medellin. There are so many gorgeous loving chicas waiting in the wings, but Catgirl is back at Numero Uno.

We have electricity and even an occasional WiFi signal. We will have indoor plumbing. The air is pure and the water is clean and comes straight off the mountain without any processing. If you look close at the vista foto from my previous post you can see the lone power wire that serves the entire village. I love it there. They broke out this 12 year old bottle of Scotch whiskey for a little housewarming party we had in our living room, and then used lime and salt with it, just like tequila, jajaja! Heresy, right? Noooo, guess what? It was delicious! Jajaja. That is Catgirl doing some interior measurements. The red foto is our kitchen temporarily set up as DJ booth for Catgirl's brother. We rocked the Casbah for a nice little party in our living room while I was there. Colombians love there huge speakers, right?[/QUOTE]That's really cool. The smart guys, like us hehehe, love to find and carve out our little bit of paradise. I have done this maybe 6 or 7 times in the past 11 years of me here in Medellin and I too have never looked back. Live, love and enjoy!

My last paradise similar to yours finally evaporated into nothing about 5 months ago but when it was on damn it was fun. So enjoy when you can.

And yes they all fade away or change at some point, they all do so just enjoy the present and know when, not if but when, yours comes to it's conclusion there are always others ready to pick up the slack. Love it.

This is true much more often than not. It's all about the volume.

[QUOTE=SpiderRider;2550265]Pathetically cheap, garbage sound systems with harmonic distortion that is off the charts.[/QUOTE]

That is a very interesting line of work.

[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2550233][URL]https://discreetpi.com/private-investigator/colombia/medellin/[/URL]

They specialize in pre-investigating on-line dating scams and they have offices in several different cities in Colombia.

Not cheap, but that depends on what you have at risk. I would do it all the same way again.

As reported in El Colombiano, next Friday thru Sunday total lockdown.

Only three days to shop next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday with an 8 PM curfew Monday thru Thursday until 5 AM. So after 8 PM on Thursday your basically supposed to stay in doors until Monday at 8 AM. As soon as the weekend lockdowns cease I will be flying down, but cases in Antiqouia hit a new high on Saturday and the ICU's are full so it may be a while. I hope for everyone's sake things improve rapidly. This is very sad for the Country.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2550017]I consider the Raudal and Avenida de La Grief areas basically the same in the sense that they basically are a block apart, and there appears to be more action at Raudal and the corner where that building goes around the corner versus up Avenida de La Grief.

The confusion is perhaps people are thinking they are two different and distinct mongering destinations, but their are SW's walking between the two locations so I see it as one area, but it definetely is distinct from the Botero area, but only a block away.[/QUOTE]I wasn't sure, it this a Barrio? A building? A street? A Club? I think I get it now thanks to your post, and I will check it out next visit.

I'll be in Colombia from 25 June to 18 July. I'm as USA Gringo as they come. I ran across a youtuber who claims to have experienced an amazing, secret brothel in Medellin. If you email him, he'll tell you the location for $75. Here's his youtube channel: [URL]https://youtu.be/G-XYkcikM6I[/URL].

I feel like this is a scam. I'm assuming the place he's describing isn't such a secret or he's making it all up. This sounds like a similar brothel / table experience I had in Monterrey.

If anyone will be in Colombia at this time, please hit me up. I enjoy sharing a beer and comparing notes about experiences.

At the present time, the lockdown and curfew are scheduled to end Monday, April 19, at 5 am.

He's talking about Loutron and 90% of this board has heard of this place. Its nice, the girls are hot, and its about $100 US for the hour give or take based on the exchange rate. Been there done that, check the box for me.

The downsides, service is covered everything, very mechanical, sometimes not even kissing, and the hot girls are doing many punters a day, and jaded. Zero connection with most of them. I wouldn't knock anyone who wants to do this, but not my cup of tea. Then again, I met a few punters chilling there that were cool, and swore that is all they need or were interested in. One dude from indiana, was there for the 3rd time that week, and would typically hang out for 3-4hrs go twice and leave, rinse and repeat.
If all the weekenders stuck to Gustos and Loutron, I for sure and I suspect much of this board will happily cede this to them. LOL.
Just don't want them fucking up the whole market.

Hope that clarifies it for you.

Sorry I cannot cut and paste the article, but sad news indeed as basically a repeat of this last weekend.

This is a translation.

Luis Fernando Suárez, governor in charge of Antioquia, announced that despite the measures taken at Easter and this weekend, which will bring results in the coming weeks, the situation is now critical, so action must be taken at least throughout April, with the accordion model (4 days of opening for 3 closings). The hospital network is estimated to be decongested at the end of this month.

It is then that a curfew was decreed for life from this Monday 12 April until Thursday throughout the apartment, from 8 night to 5 in the morning.

Dry law will apply at the same times throughout the department.

In turn, the continuous curfew will be repeated throughout the apartment, from Thursday, April 15, at 8 at night and until Monday 19, until 5 am.

In addition, in the department you will continue to apply the peak and certificate measurement to supply. However, there will be a variation and that is that on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays it will apply only for three digits, depending on the last number of the card. People with digit 0, 1, 2, 3 may be supplied on Tuesday; Wednesday, 4.5 and 6 and Thursday; 7.8 and 9.

Does total lockdown mean that people don't go to work on Friday?

Are the streets empty?

The price is as you stated but my experience with the girls was different. I got very good service from the girls I went with. It was all covered unless you pay more as is the case with most casas in Medellin. The girls are definitely a notch above those in other casas. I prefer the previous location, the new location freaks me out.
