Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2578121]It was a metal fence, but in the pipe along the top there were plenty of holes for water to come out. They had water connected to one end so the "showers" sprayed onto the sidewalk. There were tons of homeless people and addicts on the block.

NO WAY IN HELL I am even walking around that way at high noon. People that are scared of Botero would just fall dead on the spot if they saw that block.[/QUOTE]I didn't have quite the same reaction as you. Mind you, I did not jump out of my taxi to go take a tour, but I would not hesitate to walk down that street in broad daylight, which I saw more as a curiosity and public service, and not as any threat. Shows to go ya how we can interpret situations differently. Call me nuts, but I would say folks who are in the middle of bathing are preoccupied, jaja.

Your story reminded me of the time I got off a Greyhound Bus in Port Authority, New York City, when a homeless guy appeared out of the blackness of a subway tunnel. The best way I can describe his appearance is that he had on clothing but none of it was visible because he was covered in layers and sheets of brown crust, and barefooted. He smelled so bad of urine and feces that people were literally throwing coins to get him to move in a different direction. He got within 20 feet of me at a fast food counter and the odor was still overpowering. Everyone moved back. The servers shoved food and drink at him and did not take his money, they would not go near him. He smiled blithely, took his food and skulked away.

I vote for the sidewalk showers instead of it ever getting to the point of that poor soul. I will never forget his sight and smell. As tragic as anything I have seen in the Third World.

I wish I had an answer, but I do not. But I share your interest in this question. I always bring home COP for my next trip, but at this exchange rate, I'd love to lock it in by buying several thousand USD of COP to have. Without having to take the bad rates offered in the USA By banks and currency dealers. There has got to be a way. Maybe open an account with Allianz (have to look up the name) in Colombia. Transfer USA Dollars. Convert to COP. You only pay a small rate to withdraw. I think this is easier than trying to open a bank account with a traditional Colombian bank, but it still involves paperwork. Got to be a better way.

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2578212]The price of cop is dropping nicely.

Does anyone know of a cost effective way to buy cop online and have it delivered FedEx to your casa in USA?

I looked at Chase Citi and BofA and some BS online currency services but the rates are all shitty.

I would like to get 5000-10000 usd its getting close to 4000.[/QUOTE]

Well, we went into the deep end, there, didn't we?!

13 days since infection, 6 days since a stuffy nose.

Thanks to many for the opinions, advice, information. Sorry to start the shit show, but I know several here are far more educated in the subject, and I don't believe everything I read on the internet.

Pinky tested negative before going home for a week. We had been sleeping in separate rooms, and trying to avoid contact so she wouldn't get the virus. My cleaning lady has been wearing a mask all week. Can any of the resident virologists confirm I should be able to return to normal life in the next few days, here?

I did go out, yesterday, to milk the Scotiabank ATM with the USD at 3,840 COP.

If anyone wants to order liquor from Rappi, use Turbo Licores. 24 beers, 12 Smirnoffs, & a bottle of rum arrived 10 minutes after placing the order.

Osty that Bogota chica is nice to look at! Thanks for the photos.

Oh shit! I was talking to a Vennie, last night, that said she is leaving this weekend for Mexico, where she will pay a coyote and sneak into the US with a fake visa through Texas, then look for work in Denver. She is a single mom with a 7 year old son who is going with her. Wild to hear this first-hand.

Anyone tried the new massage place on Calle 10, on the corner across from the new hotel a block down from Charlee?

Cheers, boys!

[QUOTE=RedWaters44;2578158]Hey guys,

Hoping to get some insight from the more experienced. I recently happened to connect with 1 out of the 500,000 Colombian cam girls on CB. We're both the same age (mid 20's) and as Medellin has naturally spiked my interest from lurking this forum the past couple months, the topic of Medellin came up as we chatted away on the site. She (like many) absolutely loves the city and since she was a cool girl, I suggested I fly her out so she can join me for some partying & we fuck each other's brains out in an Airbnb. All funds on me. It would be good to have someone acquaint me to the area because I don't speak a lick of Spanish. She seemed into it and since I tipped her kind of shit on the camming site, I tried to reassure her by letting her know I could pay her (I had a 3-4 day sugar daddy scenario in mind). Not sure if our Google Translate conversation just didn't get my point across but she seemed confused and asked "why do you feel the need to pay a friend to hang out"?

I get her point but what these girls don't know is that I've also paid escorts to piss in my mouth and gulped it down with a smile..[/QUOTE]I rapidly ready your post a few times and I can't tell for sure who is flying from where to meet where. Doesn't really matter too much, the advice is the same.

You are over-committed with a girl you barely know and already admitted to having communication issues. Really bad idea. The kind of meeting you are describing is something you build up to with someone you have gotten to know over time and or fucked before, or is a high priced escort which defeats the purpose of being in Colombia in the first place, IMO. Within ten minutes of being in the same room, IF she even shows, you might find out you don't like each other, or worse, as she might have criminal intentions as in drug you or steal from you.

AND the counterpoint, it is totally unnecessary. Once you find yourself in Medellin, there is a smorgasboard of girls awaiting you and all different kinds of ways to meet them. I know you wrote you would not be interested in other chicas but that is a counter productive viewpoint, once you are here. Flying to Medellin with the plan to meet one chica only is like going to DisneyWorld to pay for the parking and then never getting out of your car.

Don't ever fly or agree to meet one girl anywhere in South America. Always have at least three options lined up based on the standard flake rate of these chicas not showing. Your back up plan may be going to monger on foot at Ground Zero in El Centro, but you need options.

If your chica tells you she has never been on a plane before, and you send her a ticket, 99% chance she ain't going to be on that plane. They don't make a profit by not showing, but the task is too daunting for them. There is so much pussy and Gringos available that it makes arrangements like what you are describing, unnecessary, cumbersome, and too much trouble. I know it's easy to get caught up in the thrill and the fantasy. That will sustain you for about five minutes once you meet.

Wait, I'm not done. Slappity, slap, slap, slap.

I was talking to one of my chica friends today and she reminded me of how much she likes anal. I'm not a huge anal lover, but I do like it on occasion, especially if I can convince a chica to do it who has not done it before. I like the fact that is' kind of taboo with a lot of chicas in Medellin. I have a few girls who do it. I have a few others I'm working on. Starting with some rubbing and then some finger penetration. Trying to explain to them how good it will feel because of the number of nerves located there. And telling them I know some girls who can orgasm from anal (which I do). At any rate, if anyone is looking for anal, PM me. I really don't want to give names here, as most of these girls are not broadcasting their willingness to do it. But I can maybe give you a couple of names in PM.

Just a few caveats: these are FB girls, so if you are looking for anal for 50 mil, forget it. On the other hand, they charge reasonable prices, because after visiting Medellin for 16 years, I'm paying the price I want and know is fair. You will not catch me paying the 200+ a lot of guys pay. Also, these girls are not anal porn stars. They are not rimmed out. So it you want to jackhammer a chica in the ass, find a hardcore that is already wearing Depends. Finally, my dick is average size. If your dick is too long or fat, these chicks might get scared. So again, you need to find the true anal pros. These are just nice girls who were willing to try something new and liked it, at least when I did it to them.

[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2578362]Osty that Bogota chica is nice to look at! Thanks for the photos[/QUOTE]I keep finding one-off photos of her mixed in with the other photos in my phone.

I failed to mention but I bet you will not be surprised to hear, she's a Vennie. She looks it, too.

I lost touch with her. My Gringo acquaintances tell me I lost my mind for not keeping her close. Sometimes it's just not in the cards. The memories are fantastic and undiluted.

[QUOTE=ColombiaLover;2578357]...but at this exchange rate, I'd love to lock it in by buying several thousand USD of COP to have...[/QUOTE]I don't think the long term outlook for COP / USD is great. The current one year forecast is 4031.

Okay fess up, which one of you gringos got so desperate to know what it was like to drive in Medellin that you decided to do it in style and stole the 2017 Mercedes Benz AMG C63 S Coupe. I just want to say that who ever you are you have excellent taste in cars but really poor judgement about what type of car to steal. Is it any wonder that you got caught since how many white Mercedes AMGs are running around in Medellin? And you might want to case the place for cameras instead of just knocking on the door to make sure no one is there? Anyway I write this sarcastically because even if you do read this forum you are not reading this right now because I am pretty sure you are still in jail.

Video of guy breaking gringo breaking huge glass door, cleaning out a path and then moving a motorcycle and then a truck to create the room to drive the car out.

And than the transferring of USD into Colombia can get quite involved as well depending on the amount and what the monies are to be used for which has strict government controls and documentation requirements. A better option would be if you could open a Bancolombia bank account somehow when your in Colombia, and then withdraw funds using ATM machines and make cash deposits into your Bancolombia account when the exchange rate is good when your in Country.

Prior to the beginning of the Pandemic when the exchange rate was over 4100 COP to the USD, I was withdrawing money everyday using two ATM cards and making cash deposits into my Bancolombia account and getting as good a rate as Allianza was offering with no paperwork / attorneys involved which I posted about at the time.

Maybe somebody else has figured out how to get in on on a good exchange rate while out of the Country but I haven't heard of it as yet.

I get her point but what these girls don't know is that I've also paid escorts to piss in my mouth and gulped it down with a smile.

Since we've exchanged light contact information (just Insta, nothing serious) we obviously still have time to plan the specifics of a possible trip, but I was just hoping to get some vets input on how fucking stupid of an idea this is? Being that I don't speak a lick of Spanish yet, I never planned on hanging out in Medellin too long.[/QUOTE]If you've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months you already know the answer to your question, since this subject gets beaten to death about 4 times a year.

1. Exchanging Instagram accounts isn't trading contact information. If she was giving you her contact information you would have her Whatsapp. Giving you her Instagram is the same as a stripper telling you that you can come and see her at the strip club.

2. While it may seem so, webcam models are no different from any other girl. They're not more exotic, more interesting or more desirable. They're just normal, average Colombian girls who work on webcam instead of somewhere else. I speak from the experience of sharing an apartment with a Colombian webcam model for 9 months in Medellin.

3. You're a customer. If you support her frequently on webcam, if you're entertaining and interesting, you might become a preferred customer, but you will always be a customer. If she agrees to do what you want her to do, it's only because the money you're spending makes it a good business decision.

4. There are thousands of women in Medellin who will happily do what you are trying to do. And it's an incredibly bad idea to do it with any of them. It's simple, you have zero knowledge of any of them. You don't know whether or not they will perform to your standards, whether they'll do the things you want and whether they'll make it enjoyable. You sample first. Try a girl for an hour, then for a few hours and then for longer. Committing to anything longer than a short date is almost certainly a mistake.

5. You're obviously not interested in making your proposition workable. If you were committed to it, your first question would have been about learning enough Spanish to communicate with the girl. While it's possible to get by without Spanish, spending several days alone with another person, when neither of you speaks the other's language gets tedious very quickly.

6. There's about an 80% chance you haven't even talked to the girl. Most Colombian webcam models work for a webcam studio. When they are on webcam they have a monitor working with them. The monitor uses a back office program so they can see everything that's on the model's screen and respond to chat messages, tip notes and private messages. There are a couple of reasons for this. Most of the models don't know much English. So the monitor translates and either messages them what to say, or just replies for them. This provides the illusion that you're having a conversation with the model. The other main reason is that the studio makes money off the model. If the model is using their equipment to make money on the side, they lose out. So the monitor is there to make sure all income comes through the studio. Often the monitor also controls the model's social media. That means the person you're actually talking to is probably a man whose job is to make sure the model gets as much money from you as possible.

When you're serious about going to Colombia to have a good time, get back to us.

I'm walking around near the casas, I didn't session at any of them, the putas look too old and worn out espec New Life.

And I don't like how they look like they micro manage the places, def not my scene, but I went window shopping a few times.

Also if you charge for a viewing the odds of me ever spending money there drops to close to 0%.

So I'm bored and my old body is aching, I decide to try to find a legit massage, I ask around nobody has any ideas.

So I grab a nice pollo burrito and frozen lemonade at Qbano across from Parque Bolivar.

And I walk some of the streets over there and run across what looks like a large ass professional bldg, so I speculate.

Maybe they have some salons inside? I go in and what do you know on the 1st floor they have a nail salon, I go in and ask the girl.

If they do massage she says yes, 70 mil I think hell yes, there were 2 girls her and another around 20 yo so I thought I will get 1 of the 2.

I go into a room and get undressed and put my clothes under the table (big mistake) I have 20 100 usd bills and just got 2000000 pesos from the ATM in my pocket.

Well anyway a woman comes in to do the massage and I look over and she looks old, I'm like WTF old? Late 50's?

I'm a bit pissed off, so I just go with it, she has the weakest hands I've ever seen, I asked for more pressure a few times, it did no good.

But wouldn't you know after awhile I'm loving her hands they are so gentle, I've never had a massage so gentle, she's doing my ass crack taint balls, everything.

Its simply heavenly, some chica comes in and they are yapping in espanol, it was one of the best massages I ever got, she played with my balls taint perineum and anus.

For at least 45 minutes, I didn't ask for anything else LOL.

Finally she finishes it seemed like 2 hours of bliss, I figure, I should give her at least 50 mil tip.

Before I get off the table, I can hear her saying chao and leaving the shop? I'm like wtf no tip?

I get off the table and look down and my clothes are gone, I panicked.

$2000 usd and 2000000 cop gone?

I head towards the hallway and next to the door.

Somebody hung up my clothes on hooks, I checked my pockets and my money is all there, if only they knew jajajajaaaaaaaaaa (isn't that about a years salary?

So I did exchange whatsapp with her before she leaves.

And the next day she starts stalking me asking of she can visit my hotel or if I will visit her shop.

Then she starts trying to video call me everyday on whatsapp, so I'm trying to chase her away.

So one day I write I'm looking for a novia, that wants me to poop in her mouth? She responds, I need to goto Asia for that.

I say but I'm in Mde so she asks how much I will pay?

I say I don't pay novias.

She still trys to whatsapp call me almost everyday LOL, I really should just block her jajajajaja.

What if on my next visit, I get 2000000 cop from the ATM daily then mail a huge stack to the USA.

It would have to be insured so, FEDex in MDE? Or DHL?

Also it would have to be legal.

If you go over the legal limit and it goes missing you're fucked.

[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2578371]I don't think the long term outlook for COP / USD is great. The current one year forecast is 4031.[/QUOTE]I'm thinking back to the guys who stocked up on pesos last year when the rate went from 3000 to 3500. About 10 days later it was 4400.

I'm not the ISG investment guru, but it seems like a bad investment to me. Sure you might get a better rate today than you can get next year, but even if you do, you've lost the use of that capital until you manage to spend enough time in Colombia to go through a ridiculous amount of pesos. $5,000-$10,000 worth? I just spent 23 days, rented a car for 12 days, spent 11 extra days in an expensive airport hotel, and splurged when hanging out with my friends, plus encountered about $700 of other unexpected costs and still spent less than $3500.

Then there's the risk. Personally I'm uncomfortable carrying around enough cash for a Colombian to buy 2 houses.

If I was tight with my money, never overpaying, and all that, I could easily stretch $5,000 to last 2 months, probably 3.

Would it be reasonable to hire a guide to take me to relevant places for a non Spanish speaking gringo. We had something like that in Cuba who would also drive us and negotiate prices. If so does anybody know of a reputable person. Looks like someone in other forums is offering similar services too.

Had a pretty good day on Friday in Medellin and got three loads off. Hit the pool in Bellen in the morning and swam laps, was at ground zero around noon and went with an old time regular I had benched for giving a "bad performance" during a session before the Pandemic. She had been asking me to take her over the last year and I had been blowing her off every time, so I finally told her why she had been benched, and gave her another shot, and she performed well, so I might put her back in the rotation.

I typically don't repeat ever, or give Chicas a second chance if I don't have a good session with them the first time, but sometimes Chica's will perform well that you repeat with, and then give a shitty performance. So sometimes you have to bench them, and once they've been benched they know the drill, but I rarely have this issue with my crew of street skanks.

Returned to ground zero around 4:30 PM and the place was packed, not only with Chicas, but with more gringo's then I have ever seen before. The word is definitely out about Medellin worldwide and I believe a lot of the mongers whose preference is Asia have been and are coming here now. Anyways, I ran into one of my Chicas and had a great session and afterwards we walked up to Periodista Park, aka Stoners Park, and what a crowd. Jam packed full with most people smoking joints, sipping on beers, and snorting coke. My Chica bought a joint from one of the vendors. Prices for a single joint were 2,000 Pesos, for a larger joint rolled in something other than paper were 5,000 Pesos, and a baggie of Coke 7,000 Pesos. My Chica smoked a bit, I didn't, but I bought a large beer that we split.

Afterwards we went to dinner and headed back down to ground zero at around 8:30 PM and checked into the Zona Rosa and watched the soccer match that Colombia won over Peru 3 to 2 in the last couple of minutes. Afterwards we had another great session and I wasn't sure if I was going to finish being a senior citizen, but she got the job done so it was a good day, three finishes in nine hours. Afterwards I walked her to the bus station near the Nuitibarra Hotel and ground zero was a bit spooky, with a few girls, zombies, and other "things" walking around the Veracruz Church area.
