Medellin Reports

The Monger's Dilemma:

So the for me the monger's dilemma has always been do you invest more time in one girl with whom you have connected strongly and you know is a good time or do you monger. Most of my trips have been a mixture of both, but over the years I tended towards the former: that is invest in the sure things. I remember my first mongercation to DR back in 1999. I was in Boca Chica with a moto guy I befriended it was late afternoon down on the strip and I saw this long black hair big booty beauty DR hottie standing out in front of one of the bars. I'm a sucker for long black hair. I got her on that moto back to my hotel and we didn't separate. $100 a day: all day all night she stayed with me. It was great. She wound up crying when I left. AltaGracia. (High Grace) was her name. We had a great time and I banged her 4 to 5 times a day. (ah youth. Those were the days) I ran into her again years later and she still remembered that I ravaged her 5 x a day. Anyway, I've been thinking about this love in the time of covid situation. People have a lot of confidence in the vaccines and that's great if you think you won't get sick, disregard this post. But if you want to minimize exposure perhaps considering the go with the one you know strategy might be the safer bet. Obviously these chicas are getting exposed the harder they work. And I recognize that finding a girl to stay with and not leave you isn't easy and perhaps not totally necessary in terms of being with you 24/7, but it might be a consideration if you want to reduce your risk of exposure to the Rona. Can't guarantee she isn't doing side jobs when she's not with you but again it depends who you find. Such arrangements can be made and I've had chicas whose company I enjoyed and I didn't mind playing honeymoon for the time I was in a place. In fact I had a lot of experiences like this where they don't want to leave. So these are just some thoughts I had and thought some of you guys might add your own. At this point, I had the Colombian Rona (I wrote about my experience with the Rona in the Bogota thread if you want to hear more about that) so I'm not that concerned, but nevertheless it's still something I am taking into consideration. I already have the possibility of setting something like this up because I've laid the groundwork for it and have a chica who is willing. She is planning all these little mini trips for us. Anyway, might be an interesting conversation to hear you guys' thoughts. Ill be down in Medellin second week in Aug FYI.

[QUOTE=GeneHickman;2585101]Yes all at one time, and got 3833:1 to be precise. It's now 3913 I see. It really minimizes friction costs.[/QUOTE]Bro this is fantastic. Do you remember where this ATM was located?

[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2584905]Basically you want at least two sets of cards that you keep in two separate places such that if one set gets stolen, you are still functional. Even when traveling en route, keep these cards separately, one on your person, one in bag, por ejemplo. Not identical cards but more than one debit card, etc. And JFC, don't walk around with your passport. A paper copy, preferably but not necessarily with your visa stamp one one side. I am from the school of a dog-eared black and white copy of your pasaporte does the trick. Other respected members here (that I do not claim to be) will tell you to get a laminated color copy. They always copy your passport at hotel check-in, just ask them for an extra copy, I have never been turned down.

After a slow start, I am gaining momentum. Scarlet took a break from nursing me back to health yesterday and ran home. I am 80% back to normal after some infectious GI virus knocked me on my ass for 24 h that I picked up en route, probably in the Miami airport. I KNOW Scarlet will be back because she forgot her treasured iPhone cargador, jaja. I just Whassapped her that I am ready to fuck and suck but that she will need to do most of the work until I am fully recovered, jaja.[/QUOTE]Loving the updates of your trip. Glad you were able to recover quickly. Would be interested to know how you met these novias and how long you've known them? Have fun & stay safe.

You are correct about one thing. Since you've recently recovered you probably have more immunity than an unvaccinated person who hasn't recently recovered. However, based on when and where you were infected, there's a good chance you were infected with the original, alpha variant. By the time you return the delta variant will most likely be the predominant risk. You're prior infection may not provide as much immunity as you believe.

Let's discuss it in relation to your risk of getting some sort of infection from a girl.

Depending on the length of your stay, you have equal or less risk of becoming infected from a girl you see multiple times, versus a girl you see once for multiple days. This is due to the lag time between being infected and becoming contagious, along with length of exposure. There's also some chica psychology involved.

Let's say you've arranged to spend 5 days with a girl for $100 per day. If she cancels because she's sick, she misses out on $500. If she can make it through 2 days, she has a reasonable chance of collecting the full amount. Because it takes 4-7 days from infection to become contagious (and symptomatic) your initial risk period is up to 12 days (7 days before she comes over and the 5 days she's there. Because you're in close contact for the entire time, your risk of infection is high. However, she can remain infectious for up to 2 weeks after becoming contagious. Because of the financial incentive, your risk now extends to 26 days. If she becomes infected 21 days or less before meeting you, every day she is with you puts you at risk.

However, if you set up a short time session with a girl, the financial incentive to come, even though she has symptoms, is less, especially if she hopes to be recovered before you leave. If you schedule a second session with her, and she had no symptoms the first time, then chances of her becoming infectious between the dates is not as high as her chance of being infectious before the first date. Did that make sense?

Many here can attest to the chica psychology portion. Many of us have had a girl come over when she was on her period. Then she acts surprised when your sheets look like a crime scene. She knew she was on her period, but as long as you get the dick in before you notice the blood, she's going to get paid.

That scenario has happened to me on at least 3 occasions. However, last November I had something worse happen. The girl in question was one I had been in contact with for 7 months. She had 3 different jobs that she worked and at that time was rarely taking customers. A day after she came over I came down with strep throat. Fortunately, with the right antibiotics, I was no longer contagious 2 days later and almost completely recovered after 4 days. After she found out I had gotten sick she admitted that she had a bad sore throat on the night she came over.

Now imagine if instead of strep, she had Covid. This was before the vaccine was available. If you have been reading the threads you know that I tested positive, in Bogota, on the same day you arrived in Bogota. I received both jabs of the Pfizer vaccine in March and my symptoms were as bad or worse, based on your report, as yours. As Mojo Bandit pointed out, the Pfizer vaccine is 91% effective at preventing serious illness. Considering how ill I was, had I become infected before vaccination, there's a good chance I wouldn't have survived.

Disregarding the risk of illness, whether you prefer the honeymoon scenario for the short session is a matter of personal preference.

Every guy has a different "risk tolerance" as evidenced by the many posts since the Pandemic. Prior to the vaccines coming out, I came down to Colombia and was very concerned about getting infected, and tried to limit my exposure to people as much as possible such as not riding the METRO, yet after being vaccinated, I have thrown caution to the wind. Spending lots of time with one or two girls, and shorter periods of time with other girls is how I have been rolling this past month in Medellin, maybe a mixture like this will work for you.

If your in Colombia now is a good time to hit the ATM's with the exchange rate topping 3900 today.

[QUOTE=GMoney582;2585105]Bro this is fantastic. Do you remember where this ATM was located?[/QUOTE]This recommendation based on the following BM post from back in February: "I use Scotiabank Colpatria ATM's. They do not charge any fees, and you can withdraw 4,500,000 COP per day (five 900,000 withdrawals). . BBVA does not charge fees, but their withdrawal limits are lower. Davivienda doesn't charge fees, but there have been reports that they will withdraw money from your account without dispensing any money. Maybe they have fixed that problem.

ScotiaBank Colpatria locations: There's one on Avenida Poblado North of Oviedo. There's one on Calle 33 west of UPB. There's on at San Diego mall. That's all I know of offhand. There is one in the Jumbo near Estadio in Laureles. There is one over by Parque Laureles also. Google it.

I typically take out $ 5,400,000 Colombian Pesos at a time with two ATM cards from the Scotia machine at the EXITO on Calle 10. There is a security card (sic: guard) right there because it's at the upper entrance to the store. When I am done, I walk into the store and go shopping. ".

Concluding note: ScotiaBank Colpatria ATMs differ in limits / fees from ScotiaBanks without the "Colpatria" link. I used the ScotiaBank Colpatria ATM inside the large Laureles Exito, in financial services mezzanine accessed from the rear of the store. I was able to make the five withdrawals all at the same time; no need to leave and return.

[QUOTE=ColombiaLover;2584089]... I reached for the bag and my cell phone fell off my lap. I did not realize it until the Uber was gone.....[/QUOTE]Some years ago I took a taxi from an FKK to the Darmstadt railway station in Germany. When we arrived I argued with the driver about the fare he requested which was more than I usually paid; ended up paying any way. When I got out of the car he called me (I was like, what now!). He was holding my phone in his hand, it had dropped out of my pocket on to the seat. I gave him a 5 euro tip.

My third night but really my first night in action because of some purgatory GI virus that glommed onto me en route. I wasn't looking for it but Scarlet was almost begging for the pink shit, one delivery later we had ourselves a Triple XXX all nighter, no sleep, not one wink. I have been in MDE for 3 day and I have only fucked one girl and I couldn't be happier. First and foremost, this is a temporary situation, I am in recovery mode. And the one girl I was with I happen to know every square centimeter of her body like a road map. She keeps asking me to let her bring more girls in but I am not ready, I was so weak yesterday at one point I literally could not roll over in bed. Soft Swirl has agreed to let me come visit. Amazonia is supposedly bussing in today. Silky, the girl I turned back last night is ready to jump right back on it this morning, with Scarlet and I promise some scorching girl on girl. An outlier, Valentina supposedly want to come over this evening because Scarlet told her I munch a mean pussy. I know this girl, never fucked her, she is hotter than shit, married, will scratch your eyes out if she sees a camera pointed her direction, but I have managed to snap a few in the past. Supposedly for some pink shit she will "let" me eat her pussy. You will never see this girl selling herself anywhere, she is playing the role of the good Colombian housewife, if there is such a thing. Her husband works second shift, so she is supposed to head over around 5. I am setting myself up for huge failure by telling you guys this because they all might not show! I will keep it real for you.

Question on that photo, is that a natural color for the inside of a poop chute? I'm asking because I really want to know. My dick has been in it bareback.

I ended up with about 20 Scotiabank Colpatria ATMs, all over Medellin.

My friends and I planned a trip to Medellin and arranged everything, including tickets, Airbnb, and other fun plans. We were all fully vaccinated in April. With Covid-19 surging in the USA, how safe it is to travel to Medellin between Aug 12th to Aug 25th.

Thank you.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2585209]If your in Colombia now is a good time to hit the ATM's with the exchange rate topping 3900 today.[/QUOTE]A buddy said one of his local gringo contacts that's very in-tune with exchange rates, stock market, discount prices, etc. Told him that if the Peso hits (for example) 3800 on Friday night, you will likely see that reflected in ATM withdrawals on Monday night. Does anyone have more info about the typical delay times as far as the exchange rate vs exchange rate in ATMs?

A couple buddies of mine said you can pull out 1. 9 M in a single withdrawal at the blue Banco Caja Social on Calle 10 by ChupaShots, Gusto, Envy, etc. I'm not sure the daily max, and one of them uses Charles Schwab so he isn't concerned with fees.

Safe as it's going to be for a while, which is good enough. I have been traveling to Medellin back and forth since they re-opened the border last year. I was not vaccinated when I first started going, but got vaccinated last March. I've had no problems. Now I try not to be stupid. I wear my mask when I am out. I use the gel that most places provide.

That said, you also have to consider "safe" beyond COVID. Medellin is relatively safe if you don't go to the wrong area, particularly at night. It is relatively safe is you try not to stick out like a sore thumb (although that's not always easy for a gringo) and you behave your self (trying not to be too loud and obnoxious, drawing unwanted attention to yourself). Pay attention to your surroundings and to your drinks. If you are staying in Poblado, there is some risk because thieves know that's where the "rich gringos" stay. Gringos in Parque Lleras stand out. So just use common sense. In my 16 years of going, the worst thing that ever happened to me was leaving my cell phone in an Uber. Never had anything stolen from me or my apartment. Never got shaken down by the cops. Never had drugs blown in my face. If your "fun plans" include going to poor barrios or ingesting a lot of drugs or booze, re-think some of those plans or at least be smart about it. I assume you are newbies, so know your limits until you have been to MDE a few times and feel more comfortable.
