The Prostitutes of Lleras Are A Tourist Attraction
[QUOTE=JjBee62;2616597]I'm just remembering something else. I believe it was 5 or 6 years ago that they decided to remove all the prostitutes from the park. It was sometime before I first went to Medellin. I don't know how successful they were, or how long it lasted, but it certainly wasn't a permanent change.[/QUOTE]It may be possible that there was some backlash from the business establishments around the park regarding the prostitutes. Parque Lleras is the established "tourist" venue or Zona Rosa for Medellin as called out on the street signs leading up to it on Calle 10.
The prostitutes of LLeras are an attraction of the park for foreign visitors that want to see what some Colombian prostitutes look like. LOL if they only knew, and if they weren't allowed, it would lose some of its it's allure, hence my theory that there may of been some backlash from the establishments around the park, not that they should be banned, but allowed.
I can remember while attending classes at EAFIT that Parque LLeras always came up with discussions of the prostitutes working there. Yet they never mentioned any of the other monger destinations such as Centro.
Maybe I'm all wet on this.
There Will Be Attitude And Pricing Adjustments Hopefully Sooner Than Later
[QUOTE=JohnnyWalker55;2617240]Yea, and then the weekend warriors will flock to veracruz and the perimeter of calle 47-carr 45 , hell even walking around new life / aikeme these days looks like some parts of nyc with all the gringos. I for one am a full supporter of the gringo containment area known as lleras:
Been doing strictly casas lately, one or two a day for the past month. It's the best place to monger tbh, gotten sick of the centro st bullshit, they are getting too seasoned and don't have incentive to provide good service for fear of getting fired like casa girls, though I do have my regualrs don't get me wrong.
At casas after a few sessions you get contact info and sesh at your place. . just had a BBFS for 200 k, she had school in the am, skipped work, came at 3 pm, sex, sex, dinner, sex, taxi home. Not mentioning the casa she's from because of all the gossipy girdies we've had here on the past, with mongers showing putas these posts. Smh.[/QUOTE]Medellin over the past six months has been over-run with foreigners because Asia has been shut down, and the outfall as you mention is there are groups of what I call "gringo hunters", the seasoned ones you mentioned charging higher prices and giving shitty service because they can get away with it with the foreigners, but the locals won't tolerate it, albeit there are still plenty of good servicing chicas available to be found in Centro.
The good news though, and hopefully is a success, is that Thailand is opening up next month, and if successful, and not a bust like Phuket, will be welcome news. And hopefully the Phillipines will open up next year sometime as well.
Very wishful thinking perhaps on my part as COVID has been so unpredictable, but if and when Asia opens back up, hopefully this will result in less foreigners coming to Medellin, and a subsequent adjustment of attitudes and pricing that has occurred within the last six months in Medellin.
Prime time in Medellin was earlier this year before the onslaught of newbie mongers paying too much and polluting lots of the Chicas working Centro.
I just booked in here today also
