Medellin Reports

[quote=chesrep001]i respect most everyone's opinion, even if i disagree, so i mean no disrepect when i say that i love the food in la mayorista. i would actually travel there from say el castillo or parque lleras to eat. especially breakfast. no matter how well you know the language, as a foreigner it's difficult to get what you thought you ordered for breakfast. but i managed to get sort of a yucca soup, as an appetizer. i love yucca! and then on from there with the normal bandeja paisa. the restaurant with the metal seats outside i love. so different strokes, i suppose. but i haven't found better food than they serve there.[/quote]good post. i always find that some of the best food i have on a trip is in mom and pop eateries, in small market stands, and sometimes even informal, impromtu meals on the street. in mde, my favorite is a little place on parque bolivar, which has terrific mondongo and bandeja. i personally think soups are the best thing about colombian food, but that is just me. the family that runs the place treats me with kindness and respect, and always is gald to see me. is it sophistocate food? no, it is simple, honest, and tasty.

i had a good meal in la mayorista that i would describe the same way.

[QUOTE=Tomasb]I like the look of PS 3 in your photo. Is she a mansion girl, prepago, or from MDE?[/QUOTE]Tomasb,

PS 3 is a Prepago Mansion Girl from MDE. I just forget her name.

Cheers,

Cubanut

What is the name of PS 2? I saw her in when I was at the Mansion last spring, but did not pull he trigger.

Hellp fellow mongers!

Im totally new at ISG (I will post a copy to the other city-posts too).

I will make a tour to this cities mentioned above, with a start the first of december, last for 3-4 weeks.
I have been reading reports of where to go, and I think I can find very much of that kind of information here, but I have two things I haven´t decided/ don´t know yet:

1. In which order do you think I should visit those countries, which first and wish one last; Concerning weather and/or a festival or some attraction to catch.

2.How long time to spend at each city?

( I have 1,5 year school-spanish behind me and think I will have the chance to learn more other, more useful, words this trip.)

If there is someone that have other useful information to add, im happy for that as well.

Thanks in advance.

Keep up your good work around the world :-)

PS 3 is Flakka Ocampos and she is problems, not one of the better ones from the Mansion. PS 2 is Yessica, she is very sweet but alittle smelly down below.

[QUOTE=Cubanut]Tomasb,

PS 3 is a Prepago Mansion Girl from MDE. I just forget her name.

Cheers,

Cubanut[/QUOTE]Her name is Catalina. The word is that she gained some weight since the picture and she has bit of a belly on her now. I also heard that she is very "commercial".

Arrival: Airport exit was pretty painless. Changed money at the airport, 1780 pesos to 1USD. I did not mind the rate but the whole process with the passport copy and computer entry took almost 7-8 minutes which is a long fucking time.

Hector, mansion's driver was waiting for me. Very nice guy, speaks excellent english. The ride from Airport is 45 minutes but it is a beautiful ride. This gave Hector time to give me a quick run down about MDE's history, geography and the general current state of affairs, safety etc. I think that kind of stuff can be useful to put oneself at ease.

The evening guy, Sebastian, checked me in. He is awesome. Lived in the states and speaks excellent english. They have excellent staff working now at the Casa Blanca I (CB I)

General items:

Money changing next day inside the Oveido mall (A block and half from CB I) was a breeze. 1790 pesos but most importantly, the guy did not ask for a passport and the transaction took one minute. Highly recommended.

Food court at the mall is excellent if you want a quick bite. Late and espresso at McD are better than Starbucks in the US. Burger king, also block from CB I is open till 5 AM. For those of you that have a crave for late night/early morning snack I found this to be a better option that to stop at street corner....especially if you are by yourself.

Weather: I was worried before I came here as the weather underground had bleak projections. Not the case at all. Brief light drizzle is all I experienced in the last 48 hrs and it is sunny as I write this. So, don't let the weather keep you away from MDE.

La Cripa: My spanish is not that good and need a local to be able to tell real Cripa from "regular" stuff. I ended up paying anywhere from 3000 to 5000 each.

Food: Las Palmitas is a fancy restaurant over looking the city. Food is quite good but not worth the price. El Alamo is a bar/restaurant in Parque lleras. I ended up there as it was the only place still serving dinner after midnight. The food sucked.

The first night I booked a girl from girlfriend4aweek and I had a fantastic experience. But that is for another report in that section.

[QUOTE=Iguana Six]What is the name of PS 2? I saw her in when I was at the Mansion last spring, but did not pull he trigger.[/QUOTE]Looks like Jimena to me.

Sunday:

I went to New life. They had 8 girls. Couple of them were cute but I did not get a good vibe when I greeted them and shook their hands. I passed and went over to Athena around the corner from New life.

Athena: The had 5 girls. I liked Pamela's looks. I chose 30 minutes. She is 29 yrs old but has a great body, tall thin (not skinny) with tight abs. Spoke a little bit of english and her service was fantastic. BBBJ without asking. I tipped her nicely and agreed to meet for dinner on Monday. Not sure if it will materialize but will be sure to post if it happens.

[QUOTE=Joeknowz]Looks like Jimena to me.[/QUOTE]Yes she is. I am looking at her as I type this. She looks better in real than in this picture (which is unusual for Cubanut's photos)

Several posts back someone said they had a fetish for braces. I don't remember who it is that said but you will in heaven in MDE. Almost a quarter of them seems to have braces. Seems like a popular thing to do, after breast implants.

A lot don't even go back to continue because they can't afford it and you'll see missing braces. Implants are cheap too. I should ask my amiga how much hers cost. Similar payment plans.

Few posts back there was discussion that Doll House is closed. If some one is in Medellin can they please let me know if Doll House is for sure closed or is it still open.

Regards,

John.

As for implants and other dental treatments, Argentina (and possibly other countries) is cheaper than Colombia.
