Medellin Reports

Thank goodness, otherwise that rate would qualify as a violent crime. It might be worth a try to avoid the 20 K fee unless it is the Canadian bank that is charging it.

[QUOTE=SureMan;2800799]

I checked visa it was 3500 pesos for one Canadian dollar.

I will check Davienda.[/QUOTE]Make sure you decline the bank's conversion rate at the Davivienda ATM. There is a Davivienda ATM very close to your hotel on LA 70, same side of the street.

It looks like that's just a front end that links to the chicacheck data. I submitted a support request asking if they were ever going to bring the ability to read comments associated with "Compliments" back, but they closed it out without giving an answer. The site is going to end up being a money grab I'm sure.

[QUOTE=SherlockBones;2800483]Looks like they created a new site called ChicaChat. Co which shows profile photos. Kinda feels like a dating app.[/QUOTE]

What's the deal with phone thefts? Yes they are expensive but for the motos that drive past to snatch up phones, I doubt they ask for passwords as they speed away. So my question is, are phones not difficult to unlock in Colombia like they are in the USA? Or do they just sell them for parts?

Do you know how many times I've found phones that nobody claimed and I've tried to unlock. It's such a pain in the ass and some you just can't without taking it to apple and showing a receipt. Some repair shops can't even unlock them if they been reported lost or stolen, game over. But some will buy them for parts. So what's the deal in Colombia? I'm guessing it must be easy for them to get past iCloud lock and unlock it with a new foreign carrier?

The phones get parted out in Centro if they can't be hacked and reset. Like late model cars, the parts are worth more than the assembled device.

For Android the service costs $200 mxn about $10 usd. I'm sure Medellin must have similar shops.

In fact used, but in reality stolen phones are sold by vendors underneath the overhead Metro tracks just up from Hotel Nutibarra. You can get a smart phone for as low as 80,000 COP and it's interesting because a lot of times the Whatsapp information of the previous owner is on them. For guys bringing say a USA Verizon phone down with them, if it gets stolen it will be a problem for you.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2799242]Seeing that you will win the mega-millions lottery 3 times over before having sex with a local chick in Bahrain, this point is unnecessary. And all the hookers there come from other places. I was with a Thai chick last night that just got back from hooking over there.[/QUOTE]I have been to Bahrain several times. There are absolutely some local Bahraini women who seek American / foreign men on dating apps. Just because Bahrain is full of foreign Thai hookers, doesn't mean some locals don't want a foreign man. Do I want a Bahraini woman? No. Many are on the fat side with too much makeup and spoiled attitude. Have I matched and conversed with them on bumble with the chance to meet them? Yes.

[QUOTE=RichTheFact;2800200]Alright, so I just spent the last 2+ years living in Guadalajara. And although some of the "Esteticas" can be great, I was able to get better action after having found a few Telegram groups that the pros would post too. Solid freaks, decent prices.

Disclaimer: I speak and understand Spanish at just about 100% proficiency, both my parents are second generation Mexican. Also, currently have a girlfriend of 2+ years in Guadalajara I visit every 2 months for 1 month.

So, with that said. I will be flying into Medellin from California in Mid-April and so have taken to Tinder. And DAMN! Most ladies on that thing are Smokin! I get about 10 matches per day, with about one-third giving up the WhatsApp number after a bit of small talk.

Once they realize I am not currently in Medellin, and ask where I live. My line is typically: "De hecho, ahorita ando en California para hacer unas compras (shopping bag emoji) why el mantenimeinto de una propriedad que tengo con mi hermano. Pero regresar a Medellin en unas semanas (plane emoji). Dios primero, quizas podemos salir para un cafecito o vaso de vino (wine glass emoji) cuando regrese. (two hands up salue emoji)".

This is immediately followed up by: "Bueno, Podemos hablar por WhatsApp? Pasame tu numero si quieres chula. ! (cellphone, smile w / heartface, and pray hands emojis).

And since last Sunday this has resulted in 38 phone numbers from the Medellin Chicas, and about 25 of those I am certain are pros, as when I try to ask questions to get to know them I am met with silence. Not even blue check marks, after which I will just come out and say "Cuanto sale la hora contigo baby?" they will then immediately respond with something like "jajajaj 110 usd baby". Another - "Daniela" (smoking hot) just came right out with it and said = "Aja baby soy escort si te interesa esta bien, si no, no soy lo que buscas" . Which I actually kinda appreciated.[/QUOTE]You got to get on that. Get your PM function working and message me haha.

[QUOTE=Chelovec;2800701]Please message me if you are interested in this. I will of course pay.

Thanks![/QUOTE]You don't need to pay. Check DM.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2773666]I just spent a month in Colombia and spent a good bit of time in the more expensive strip clubs. Like anywhere strip clubs aren't the best value compared to others in town, but many of us want to get out at night. Yes the girls in La Isla and Fase Dos are from the same handful of lower strata barrios as the Facebook, casas girls, and girls in the Centro strip clubs. It's also true, and I'll concede, that there's a higher concentration of the hotter girls from these barrios than in other venues. You spend more but save time ferreting out the gems in the less espensive places. That said, get ready to wear the latex, as in my fairly extensive research the girls in the more expensive places are wholly inflexible when it comes to BBBJ, even for a nice tip. BBFS of course forget it. For those that want to wear a raincoat start to finish and aren't price conscious, these clubs may be good option for you.[/QUOTE]I'm conducting research on Medellin (already been to Thailand, Dubai, Germany, Amsterdam, DR, etc) and this is disappointing.

I've noticed that South American or Latin women are far more unwilling to do BBBJ but with an Asian (Thai, viet, Chinese) it's automatic.

I wonder if it's cultural, either way I need to visit Medellin at least once.

[QUOTE=Rocko20;2801411]...but with an Asian (Thai, viet, Chinese) it's automatic.....[/QUOTE]Think about hotter girls in gogo in BKK, it is not, that is the similar situation. It wasn't this difficult before so you can throw out the culture thing. You can still get it, just need more effort. It's completely opposite with the hottest girls f you go to Brazil.
