Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Wayne Roberts;1108506]In saying that, there is a lot to read here, so a summarized thread may not be a bad idea. There are pages and pages of material to work through and it can be quite time consuming for people I guess[/QUOTE]Your suggestion is so good, that it has been put in practice already. I wish everyone would read the following before asking questions:
- Reports of Distinction;
- <<city name>> Lists by WT69.
I personally add a link in the Reports of Distinction thread, whenever I add a report having some general information value.

[QUOTE=Reefski; 1108204]Good advice CN. I'm surprised however your post hasn't set off the usual firestorm of Mansion bashing and "shooting fish in a barrel" debate.

[/QUOTE]Seriously, I respect and admire the business capabilities of Aussie Greg and others who have set up the Mansion, the VIP, the Casa Blanca, etc. in Medellin. Those places must be great (I never even approached the door, so it's my guess) for US guys who want to try Medellin, but have never dared to explore Colombia or even do not speak a single word of Spanish.

Said this (I don't want anybody think that I am negatively biased against that establishments) , I really don't like to see that 50% (to be optimistic) of posts in the Medellin thread is still, constantly dealing with (or openly advertising) those establishments.

Dear fellows, SPECIFIC THREADS have been set up for these topics. Am I asking to much, if I wish that the Medellin thread features only reports about what's out there BESIDES what's available at the Mansion, the Casa Blanca, etc. Etc. ? May I politely ask the "supporters" or "satisfied customers" of those establishments to refrain to make this thread so well "focused" on that?

The majority of readers and posters on this thread does not belong to the categories of people "catered" by those establishments. We like (and find useful) to read reports on what's going on in the streets, in bars, in clubs, casas, etc. In other words, inputs for the meritorious work of World Traveller 69 (the Lists).

I hope everyone will accept my appeal as a constructive input and not as starting point for a firestorm, as Reefski mentioned.

Have fun, all!

First trip and no spanish skills. But I pick things up quick. 1900 cop = $1 US.

Jan 1st arrived. Some motion sickness from the insane turns from the taxi goin down to the valley. Nice guy stopped a couple of times to let me catch a break. He also took me to a spot for a nice panorama shot and asked directions to my hostel since I forgot. Far was 75k and I know the flat rate from the airport is 50k with 56k being max but he was a good guy with the stops and the nice views so it was no problem.

* Tipping, people don't tip taxis in Colombia but they may tip waiters 2k cop ($1 US). The girls in the strip clubs or casas should not be tipped unless they provide some outstanding service life GFE and BBBJ and if you decide to do it then tip them 20k cop ($10 US) but please remember it has to be for some beyond the call of duty service because their regular job is being paid to do you.

My hostel is nice with a 6 person Jacuzzi on the balcony and my dorm is 25k cop includes breakfast. This apparently is a family hostel because the 2 other dorms are taken by Colombian families. Calle 10 and Carrera 35.

Hit the casas Jan 2nd starting with New Life. 7 girls only. I heard most are tired from New Years and also its Sunday so slim pickings. Did Fernanda (nothing special but the room has its own shower and mirrors) and paid the cashier 40k and Fern gave me a playful push away so I figured she wanted the change. But just 5k seemed pretty small but whatever. Hit the nearest 6 hostels and all were closed or 2-3 chicas that were not worth a second or even a first pop. A regular told me that it's because of the celeb and Sunday factor. Later in week should be back to normal and not to judge by today.

San Diego grill was just a sit around and drink your beer place. Saw 4 really nice chicas out of 18-20 but didn't pull the trigger here. 10k for beer. Was taken to Las Luneras and no chicks but the Doorguy is from Jersey! He told me the deal 100k for ST and the girls will be coming. 10 guys here before 3 girls show and 2 of them are hot. Looks 8 but sexy and attitudes jumps to 9. (you don't get a 9 unless you have a perfect body and nice face attitudes can jump it to 10). Mine was 19 with perfect ass and abs cute face, ok boobs and tallish. 100k and we go to a big room with tv, bath, living room and she does a strip dance on the bed before we get to it. CBJ but she put the rubber on before I was fully hard so it was too tight and I couldn't get off. It was a fun romp and if I didn't have that condom problem then it woulda been much better. My friend took a petite one (8. 5) who he said changed to a French maid outfit before she stripped for him and blew his mind. She saw he was taking time so she even flipped and stuck his dick in her ass for anal. She was GFE for him and really playful the whole time. We had more drinks after but no more girls showed so 40k for the drinks and we were out.

More to come later. I got to go get some grub. (P. S. The hooters here is nice)

Have fun, all! [/QUOTE]Here here, Fair enough, maybe we could send Jackson an email and ask him if he could move the MM, CB thread towards the TOP of the forum list instead of all the way towards the bottom? I bet you this would help quite a bit.

Any one been to Dollhouse recently?

Just wondering how things work there.

[/QUOTE]Glad you're having fun amigo.

Tipping, well there are no hard fast rules, funny making a tipping guide though on first time, no spanish.

Can we not tip the chicas 10k cop if we want or 5k, or it has to be 20k?? Or maybe tip a waiter 5k instead of 2k??
hahaha :)

Have fun! Happy New Year!!

Hahaha.[/QUOTE]I read somewhere the normal waiters get paid 15k per day and locals only tip 2k. So up to you.

Someone PM'ed me about no spanish and girls.

I discovered no spanish means no hooking up with girls in clubs and taking them to your room. Casa girls and strip girls just do their thing because they can't say anything to me. I make the attempt but it's rough. I think that this changes if you are a bigger spender. Giving 100k to girls makes everything ok.

Also it seems like I am the only Chinese tourist in Medellin! I get looks alot.

How much time did you & your friend get from your chicas at Luna Lunera for 100K? Did they charge a room fee? What time of the night did you get there?

Thinking of hitting Medellin and want to keep it under the radar. In Thailand my AT&T wireless service gives the caller the same ringtone in the USA and the voicemail exprience is unchanged. They have no idea I'm not in the states. However in Brazil, the ringtone changes and the voicemail has portungese prompts. Anybody know if I can get calls in my AT&T cell in Medellin without the caller having any idea I'm in Columbia? Thanks!

Simply put, had another great time in MDE. Arrived on Dec 19, left Jan 2, hit 7 casas over the.

Period, including AIFFE, Barcelona, Shannon's, Angles del Fuego, Tatianas, Pekin and Energia. All are.

In el Centro with the exception of Energia, and all, with the notable exception of Shannon's, are a great.

Time. Energia, in the estadio district, is a little more expensive, but the room is quite a bit nicer. I do.

The whole thing on my own, have worked on Spanish for the last five years, and cannot say.

How much extra the ability to at least speak some Spanish adds to the experience. Nowhere.

Downtown costs more than 50k for the hour, and honestly, if one is not willing to pay that for.

One of these girls, one should not bother to go to MDE in the first place. Weather could not have been.

Better, attitude at Christmas time tops. Another point I'd mention is the Metrolinea / Metrocable, a return.

Ticket is $1. 50 (US) , you can get all around the city for that, the route is spotless and totally safe.

Anyone going to MDE should make the effort to learn the metro, just in time saved alone getting to el.

Centro is worth its weight in gold.

Of course you can still have fun without communication, however, as you've discovered, speaking the language would surely make it nicer. And cheaper.

Good luck.

What ya missed out on is meeting them like I like to do, and that is to rap with them, and know whether ya have GFE upfront, and what ya are going to get. In the casas. Good luck to total GFE!

Just sayin.

Centro is worth its weight in gold.[/QUOTE]I am very interested in others' opinions about one hour vs. 30 minutes in casas. My experience is the only difference between the two is 20k pesos because I never feel rushed at 30 minutes. I suspect the owners don't enforce time limits unless the place is packed and punters are waiting like the way it usually is at New Life.

I agree 100% with your comment about Shannon. Too bad we don't have consumer reports for the centro casas because they would shut Shannon down. Everything about it is substandard: girls, management, physical plant, and the wanker who chain smokes and stinks up the front room. AVOID

[QUOTE=Hollow Man; 1108696].

Also it seems like I am the only Chinese tourist in Medellin! I get looks alot. [/QUOTE]Maybe you're the only Chinese guy visiting those places. I don't know the number of Chinese people in Medellin, but considering the number of (so-called) Chinese restaurants there, it must be reasonable. But I recognize you're feelings because (I'm pretty sure) I'm the only guy from Indonesian origin that lives in Medellin.
