Medellin Reports

I think you are right that the overall risk, even adjusted for population, is higher in Chicago or Mexico. In the end I think it has more to do with whether or not personal circumstances put you closer to the source of the risk. For example, you are at much less risk if you spend more of your time shopping and dining on Michigan Avenue or inside the gates of resort communities in Cabo San Lucas than you are if you are a South Side nightcrawler or you kick it with Sinaloa cartel. Bringing it back to Medellin, guys who allow gaggles of providers they barely know within reach of their valuables, or who wander the streets in an impaired state, are at generally more risk than guys who post up in gringo punter clubhouses and exclusively source their entertainment & supplies from mileroticos and rappi.

Well I will posit not as bad as Chicago or Mexico![/QUOTE]Yeah? When were you here? We can all google 'Medellin' and read those same types of articles.

[QUOTE=Huacho;2700417]It's semantics and I believe Nounce to be more correct because NA does not understand the very important distinction. Every Colombian has to have a national ID = cdula. Relatively few will have passports, which are certainly one form of identification.[/QUOTE]I agree it is a matter of semantics, but Nounce stated "you can't bring them back to San Peter if they only have Venezuela ID". You admit a passport is a form of ID. Nounce tried to defend his statement by saying he meant cedula, but that is not what he said.

It's relatively safe just don't be a retard. As a rule of thumb the higher in the surrounding mountains you go, the more dangerous it gets.

Fearmongering and scapegoating are the coin of the realm across Rupert Murdoch controlled media outlets (one of which is linked to the original post).

[QUOTE=Mtndew704;2700434]Parque Lleras and La 70 have tons of options but this all assumes you speak Spanish and are aware that Colombians like to go out in groups with their friends and / or family members.[/QUOTE]I was inquiring about locations which are pay for play. Something similar to Gustos or La Isla but with working girls and good from 8-11 pm. Just curious if anybody knew a place that was good around that time of night? Has anyone been to the Mansion recently? I have been there before and it is hit or miss but mostly miss around that time.

[QUOTE=JonnyPokerStar;2700691]Nothing on Chiraq.[/QUOTE]As another poster well noted, safety in Chicago can vary drastically depending on what neighborhood you are in. As to Medellin, it's different for locals and tourists as the latter have targets on their backs. Thus comparisons to the US are invalid before one ever begins as the contexts are different.

Conejitas, Barra Ejecutiva, Luna Lunera, and several others.

Between casa closure and clubs starting up. Your best bet is FB girls. That's what I do to start the night. Then go out and maybe get a girl to close the night as well.

[QUOTE=GianniVersace;2698075]Actually speakin of Covid Tests where are you all getting a covid test 24 hours before flight back to the USA? Does anyone know of a place in Laureles?[/QUOTE]There is a lab called ABAD in the Laureles Mall. I paid 120 k.

[QUOTE=GianniVersace;2698075]Actually speakin of Covid Tests where are you all getting a covid test 24 hours before flight back to the USA? Does anyone know of a place in Laureles?[/QUOTE]Near Calle 37 and Cra 80 aa.

There's Proc & Rynos, a sports bar where at least some of the waitresses are working girls, and another similar place 2 doors down. But there's no on-site rooms and I don't believe the girls can leave when working. You can use the places to get phone numbers for later.

There's Jade Palace on Calle 10, that's a combination massage parlor and casa. I've not been. I've seen girls who were available around 8-10 in several of the bars in the area. You just have to walk around and be able to recognize which ones are looking for customers.

8-11 isn't a good time. The girls in the area are either looking for someone to pay for their partying, or they're hoping to find a big spender. During that time, other than Facebook, your best option are the El Centro strip clubs.

That's for those who aren't afraid of Centro. It's true that Fase Dos doesn't get going until quite late, as is the case with some other clubs where you pay for the "high end" illusion. Wink.

[QUOTE=GianniVersace;2699608]Thats good intel. I did not know about a gringo bar at the San Peter. I am so glad I booked a room at the san peter LOL.[/QUOTE]I wish I knew it earlier but Joe was my guardian angel on day 1 when I really found myself in a pickle. I arrived at san peters at 11 am and of course room was not ready despite having been told that it might be available. The lady at reception didn't speak a word of English.

There was no WIFI.

It was my first hour in Colombia.

I had only 10 K pesos left.

I was really pissed off and getting angry just when I heard Joe speak English to another guy staying at SP. The bar opens at 3 PM but I managed to talk to Joe just as he entered the bar door. He was very kind and happy to help come into his bar, let me use bar wifi and introduced me to a vennie who spoke excellent English. Within a minute I was fully back in business, he told me where to get the pesos from, how to get the sim and answered my other questions.

A great conversationalist.

One thing guys need to mention more often at this forum is that San Peter now had a very busy, American run bar right next to reception. SP is now as good as Hotel M.
