Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2764134]Exactly. Why do mongers keep thinking they are somebody? People in this hobby get really inflated egos. You are in a very small circle of people in the grand scheme of things and not propping economies up as many assume. They do not need your kind around there. You are not the first class golden goose that you think you are; you are simply being tolerated. Sure a few lazy hookers are depending on you, but the other 99.999999% of the population thinks of you as a gnat on a dog's dick and could give 2 fucks. Just another hard-up clueless foreign guy here for drugs and prostitutes.[/QUOTE]Best post I have read in a long time. More mongers need to read this and check their attitude.

I've been hearing these reports for 15 years. They spike up from time to time but it's been consistent. In an earlier post I described the security situation here back in the 90's. I don't doubt the drugging and robberies were happening then too. There were fewer foreigners then and with all the other horrific stuff happening I did not get the attention it does now. I wonder if I would be at more risk if I were less of a Centro rat.

[QUOTE=Dwc14;2764193]Not trolling anyone. I lived part-time and later full-time in Medellin for 9 years and hung out with dozens of locals. The expression, "There but for the grace of god, go I," fully applies. Everything in my product suggestion / collection of safety protocols is the result of thinking through now, in full view of the details of these appalling crimes, how one could conceivably defend against them. I am certainly not implying that I would have implemented these protocols during my time in Medellin, absent the knowledge only now coming to light of the modus operandi of these criminals.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2764207]It will heavily depend on what the girl's boyfriend or husband allows.[/QUOTE]Lot's of girls here as you mention have boyfriends or husbands that know exactly what they are doing seeing clients and are partaking in the monies made.

I have two in my stable just like this, and the boyfriends / husbands know exactly what is going on, and they are "kinda okay " with it, not sure how to articulate it, but they just tolerate it, as it helps pay the bills.

[QUOTE=MoonShot;2764210]All this is sound advice to stay safe. I have visited Medellin twice and I have followed these basic guidelines. I have not run into any problems but I am an experienced monger in other countries and have always been careful and aware of my surroundings. One thing that helps me is that I have always in big cities in America and in big cities like Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, and the like, you just are careful and not very trusting of people. Ha ha ha. I mention that because people in small towns and the smaller cities tend to be more trusting and nice and unfortunately, they are more likely to be taken advantage of in places like Medellin.[/QUOTE]I disagree with your final assumption. People in small towns are more trusting, of their neighbors. However, the big city is where all the bad stuff happens, so they tend to be distrustful of strangers.

Now, they might be easier to trick or scam, bit not many of them are going to show up in Medellin believing everyone is their friend.

Until I was 18 I was rarely more than a 10 minute walk away from fresh cowshit.

She opened the door for her boyfriend. The gringo was still alert enough to put up a fight, and was stabbed and killed. The killer was caught not long after. The girl was found cowering in the apartment.

The second, a Mexican national was found dead, stuffed in a large suitcase along Calle 10. Apparently he was from a Mexican cartel and whatever business he was engaged in went wrong.

The final one, 2 Cuban nationals working in Medellin were found drugged along Autopista Sur south of Medellin. One died from the drugs, the other was hospitalized and recovered.

Returning to Medellin next month, haven't been around for a while, is Parque Lleras still good for picking up hookers? Heard some people say the hookers no longer congregate there.

Park was closed for renovation, not sure if it is open again.

Try the clubs mentioned, for take out, or on premises.

I'm arranging a date with a girl from FB who also works as Webcam model (I found this out later, we started chatting for a languagge exchange). I have already sent 50 mil for contenito via western union (and price for rato 200 mill when we meet. I'm the one who offered money and she said why not) .

She is Venezuelan and she sent me a photo of her venezuelan cedula when we were joking about age, someone in this forum mention that some hotels don't allow Venezuelan with no colombian ID? Can someone please clarify this?

Also, when I asked her for passport photo (I knew already she didn't have one) she said that her dad is a Colombian nationality and she's will get a passport as soon she manage to save money as it's expensive to get one, is this how it works or shall raise a red flag? She moved to Colombia only 2 years ago, she's 24.

Another option, as I have her cedula already, would be to ask her if she's happy for me to register both of us for an airbnb I know close to a casa and where to go so I could do double duty when she decide to leave (Maximum price and minimum time are set).

No need to say cards and passport will stay in my real hotel and I will make her aware of this (in a nice way).

First timer in Colombia so trying figure out if I'm geting thinghs right.

Thanks.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2764134]Exactly. Why do mongers keep thinking they are somebody? ....[/QUOTE]I think they think just like normal people. Criminals don't make the distinction either.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2764201]Why would you expect a clueless daughter in a rich family to behave the same as a typical WG?[/QUOTE]& all the other nightclub party girls and all Pro Pussy girls.. with $$ for nothin wearin those "outfits" baring it all. "that's the way we do it".... just ignore me. . . I like Colombia and Mexico a whole lot more.

I departed Medellin in September, but several recent posts suggest that the Parque Lleras streetwalker action has gravitated in large part from the street fronting the Park itself and Gustos, to Calle 10 and perhaps even into Provenza. My own experience over extended visits the past four years:
Though based in Laureles, I would get over to Poblado once or twice a week for Spanish/English intercambios or some other event, usually followed by a SW fishing expedition around the park. Perhaps in one out of four or five visits I would spot a highly doable chica, and in one in twenty or so trolling trips, score a real keeper. Two additions to my long-term stable (gals I've been seeing regularly for a couple of years now) were found at Parque Lleras --and are comparable in looks and GFE performance to the best of the ladies that I have pulled from Luna Lunera and Fase II. That said, it definitely takes patience if you're super choosy like me and content to go home alone and still horny 4 out of 5 visits. That's why I usually only bother to make the Parque Lleras rounds if I'm in Poblado on other business,

(Thematic is a short-term hotel but much nicer than the typical. But more costly too). I asked at Thematic and they wanted a passport or a document from Migracion Colombia.

Since she has a Colombian father she should be able to get a Colombian cedula. Why hasn't she done that if she has been living in Medellin for 2 years?? As to the passport? I'm curious how she is going to pull that stunt off. She would need a Colombian cedula in order to get a Colombian passport (BTW I was actually looking at this with a Colombiana last night, the cost is less than 200 mil, so not that expensive). Is she planning on returning to Venezuela to get a Venezuelan passport?

As to your plan to rent an Air-bnb. I imagine if you get one without a security desk to monitor entry you could make it work. But are you really eager to take on that risk?
