Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2599618]My question is, how much above baseline (percentage or mil COP answer would be awesome), did a chica running her Webcam business out of your apartment, increase the cost of your servicios? I realize these numbers are small, but I still find them interesting and hey, I bet there's a lot guys who wouldn't mind living with a hot Web cam model, especially if she's helping pay the bills. Sounds like that could be a best of both world's arrangement. I've done it. I know you've done it. But I never did any cost analysis.

Supposedly Colombia has more Web cam models per capita than anywhere else in the world, but I don't the how the fuck you can verify that. BUT that could be a great little adventure and venture for a dude, like the mongerer who recently posted here and who I think you tagged as being in "withdrawal" (good one). I think his goal was to relocate here. Dude, shack up with a Web cam model who broadcasts out of your apartment. Problem more than solved. I told you I'd get back to you (wink).[/QUOTE]At a guess I'd say the actual webcamming probably added 10-15% to the bill. Once I replaced all the incandescent bulbs with LEDs it was better. Incandescent bulbs have a warmer, softer light, but you can adjust for that. Occasionally she would use a professional spotlight which drew about 400 watts, but only for a few hours. It's a wonder she didn't burn the place down with that light before I got there. She had it plugged into 2 lightweight extension cords.

There were other aspects that added to the cost. When she did a glitter or body paint show, she'd spend 30-45 minutes in the shower cleaning up.

For someone just doing basic webcam shows, the added expense is negligible. Her shows sometimes get pretty elaborate with special lighting, backdrops, costumes, even a green screen for special background effects. She did one show with a professional full body paint job that cost 1 million COP.

I don't doubt that per capita Colombia is the webcam leader. The top studio in Colombia, AJ Studios, has enough models in Colombia they have an exclusive contract with CamSoda. You can't broadcast on CamSoda from Colombia unless you're contracted with AJ Studios. I worked with a model on there and 5% of her gross went to AJ.

Living with a webcam model isn't necessarily a dream. We were just roommates and friends, so no freebies. Although I'm not one to complain about a sweet girl walking around naked in the apartment. Setting up and breaking down for the shows usually wasn't bad, except for the glitter shows. That shit takes forever to clean up. But there were also mood swings to deal with, family problems, boyfriend problems, motivation problems.

[QUOTE=Williston;2599479]Hello fellow mongerers,

I am about to fulfil like a 10 year fantasy to travel to Medellin and dip my toes in. I have some dates / nights setup with SA girls and a few tinder matches. I just wanted to ask a quick question. For someone with limited Spanish, where do you suggest I stay? I was thinking El Poblado or Laureles and getting an Air BNB. Air BNBs are probably residential towers. Are these a nono for chicas?[/QUOTE]In Laureles I recommend San Peter Apartments. It's cheap and very guest friendly. I think you can have as many guests as you want during your stay, but only one at a time. I also stayed at Loma Verde apartments in Poblado in May this year. It's close to Parque Lleras. Very nice apartments but more on the expensive side. You can have up to 3 different guests there during your stay with no extra charge. If you go over there is a fee of 100 K COP per guest, I think. Of course they have to show cedula or ID when they come. I only had 1 guest and she stayed there with me for 3 days straight. Never had any issues and the front desk is super chill as long as you don't play loud music late at night. Hope that helps.

[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2599703]Colombian arepas are the worst! Jajaaja. Venezuelan areapas, no problem, much better than Colombian arepas. I believe the improvement might be due to a rare, exotic ingredient otherwise known as butter, but I am not sure if that is indeed the missing piece to the puzzle, jajajaja. Even my Colombian girlfriends try to pawn off their arepas to me, tossing them like little frisbees onto my plate when we are eating out.

I declare the Colombian arepa to be the most bland known food in the universe. They are so bland, that nothing you can put on them, queso, salsas, carne, etc. Will overcome their stifling blandness, jajajajaja. Supposedly it is a national insult to bemoan the Colombian arepa, but I have yet to met one person who will say they enjoy them. WTF?[/QUOTE]1. You've already eaten half the asses in Medellin. Maybe they would be better with butter.

2. Arepa is one of the many Colombian slang terms for pussy. I believe it's more often used in Bogota.

3. I've made arepas at home. The basic hockey puck arepas you get in restaurants are made with warm water and fine ground corn flour (masarepa). With the possible addition of a bit of salt, that's all. Adding melted butter, salt and shredded mozzarella makes a huge difference.

[QUOTE=BlackThought;2599769]Jajajaj. I'm not a fan of Colombian cuisine, it's just as bad as German food. But Colombia and Germany are my top 2 monger destinations.[/QUOTE]I fully agree with your conclusion. Thank God for foreign cuisine in both countries. The arepas in Colombia, are one of the worst foodstuff, otherwise known as "hockey puck".

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2599631]I had a gypsy from Romania while in Croatia, no stinky pussy smell but body odor, was unshaven, and was horny as hell.[/QUOTE]"horny as hell" LOL well that would be a conundrum. Probably would have to opt out between the body odor and totally unshaven. Yeah I wouldn't get it up anyhow. I've run into more bad ass smell than stinky pussy smell. Either one is a boner killer for me.

Will this force the CDC to start new restrictions on returning visitors from Col?

How many anti vaxer mongers will visit Col, and act as super spreaders of this after returning to the USA ala JJ the CCP virus super spreader in Col.

Since when would unshaven slow anyone down LOL I remember when all where unshaven. And back then they damn well were more likely to have some body odor hiding in that muff pie, I wouldn't go down on a girl that was dancing the night away unless she went to the shower first. Even sweat would make that unpleasant when you stick your nose it it.

[QUOTE=BlackThought;2599769]Jajajaj. I'm not a fan of Colombian cuisine, it's just as bad as German food. But Colombia and Germany are my top 2 monger destinations.[/QUOTE]I was chatting with two Colombian teachers and they asked how I liked Colombian food and I could only say it is OK. I explained it was very bland with no use of a certain spice that sticks out into my mind. They were not happy with my assessment.

Just because empanadas are sold on every single block in Colombia does not mean it is good and definitely the would "cuisine" should not be attached to it. Hotdogs are also sold all over the place in this country it is definitely also not cuisine. It is only "food" or low level "sustenance". Seems as if all the Colombian restaurants serve beans, rice, fried plantain, and salad with some sort of meat. That is hardly special or unique tasting.

Anyone have any luck with ticktock girls? If so, could you please share, how to go about it? Thanks.

[QUOTE=BlackThought;2599775]Man,

I wish I could work remotely from Colombia, but IT would likely catch me. I have to be stationed in the Bay Area, otherwise they'll adjust my pay based on geo.[/QUOTE]Get a proxy. Problem solved. I have been working "remote" in different countries for 10+ years and have a full paid proxy subscription so all my traffic (phone included) route back through the US.

Every single one I've had in a restaurant is not worth the space it occupies on the plate. I believe but am not certain that the basic arepas have only two ingredients. Flour made from maize (corn) and water. That's about what they taste like to me. I bet once you start "doctoring" them up a little with additional ingredients, they could be good.

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2599795]I don't like this, but I've been vaxed 3 x and can prove it, what are you anti vaxing mongers going to do?

[URL]https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/01/opinion/covid-travel.html[/URL][/QUOTE]I'm a firm believer of individual freedom, Vax if you want, don't if you don't want, your decision. BUT. My daughter works in the medical field and she gets the numbers of the hospital everyday. She read them to me yesterday and the amount of hospitalizations of UN-vaxed is astronomical compared to vaxed. And deaths of vaxed is practically non existent. Do what you will.

I will tell you that I feel more comfortable during my visits to Colombia being Vaxed. The last thing I want is to get infected in Colombia and being treated In a Colombian hospital and not being able to fly home to a hospital in the USA.

LOL.

Does anyone know for sure what I need to do to drive this moto legally in Colombia? The moto has all it's "papers" in mi novia's name, but what if I want to use it? I would take the chance drive it right now if needed, but I've heard several stories about when if the policia stop you and you don't everything in order, they take the moto away from you right then and there on the spot. Obvio, I would like to avoid that situation.
