Four days, you got money, you speak spanish!
[QUOTE=Play Ground; 1121133]Hola Hola to all,
I have been in Medellin for 4 days now and have not had a great time meeting prepagos. Even though the dough is there maybe they only like old men as that what I only see around parque lleras. There could be two issues one is that I do not look like a typical gringo and second that my Spanish is quite good so I think they just pass me by with out a second look thinking I am some Colombian scrub. I am new to the game here in Madellin but a different story in Panama. I tried to contact the mansion to know if there were any parties I could attend or meet some people, the lady on the phone said it was not possible unless I had a room there que madres so much for net working any way I am already booked at another prestigious hotel. So far my experience has been various strip clubs nothing special in my opinion. So amigos I would like to meet some of you out there or if you need a wing man just PM me. Some beers, couple of nice chicas or finding some your help will be greatly appreciated.
With best regards,

Like Dr Phil always says "You just don't get it"!

I haven't presented HUNDREDS of pictures of great looking prepagos that frequent the Mansion over the last few years for nothing. Yet many fellas like yourself "Just don't or refuse to GET IT!"
You are a young newbie that has money and speaks Spanish and has mongered elsewhere and you thought it is just soooo easy to just hit the casas and strip joints for prepagos. Yet you deny yourself one of the best places for a 1st timer to start at in Medellin. Casa Blanca 1 & 2 (aka La Mansion & Castillo)!
You even know about Casa Blanca and yet are staying at another "prestigious hotel" that is probably NOT guest friendly and definitely will not make any prepago connects or recommendations!
The policy is simple, if you are not a guest of the Casa Blanca 1 or 2, YOU DON"T GET TO HANG THERE!
Dude, you missed an awesome Superbowl party with more chicas than gringos and a private strip / masturbation / squirting halftime show that was going on WHILE YOU WERE IN MEDELLIN!
INCREDIBLE!
And PLEASE don't anyone say I am being hard on this fella. I am just sooo fricken tired of all the where do I do this and were can I find this crap that is being asked over and fricken over!
Play Ground, if you have some time left in Medellin, do yourself a favor and book at least two nights at the Casa Blanca 1. Tell the staff Boyd or Robert especially, what you are looking for and let them make some recommendations. Also let Boyd tell you where the best casa girls are currently working at. Saves a lot of time and effort going it cold turkey. Do yourself a favor and CHECK IT OUT!
I AM OUT,

Not always safe with the ATM
One time, a while back, I received a fake 50 from the ATM at Citibank (I think it was San Diego). I knew it was fake when I went to pay for my son's Colombia passport and the guy receiving the bills cut a diamond into the center of the bill and returned it to me.
You never know what you can be stuck with and by whom. This was a "respectable" institution and I got stuck. No way to complain after I had left the area.
[QUOTE=John Gault; 1121418]Last time I was in MDE I got stuck with a phony 20K bill I got in change. The part that really pissed me off was when later in a Disco while paying my bill the waiter ripped the bill in half. After I complained that if he thought the bill was bogus he should have given it back to me instead of destroying it. I was then told by a friend that is the policy in Colombia to do that. I guess I will have to learn how to rub the bills the way I see everyone else I pay money to.
The ATM machines give out good money. I always use them. TD Bank gives me the best rate with no fees of the four ATM cards I use. Of course you don't get the real exchange rate, but the poor banks have to make a living too. If you go to a bank in Colombia to change money they put you thru a big hassle. Changing money on the sreet is another issue. I think it makes you a possible target. Don't forget you as a tourist are a big point of interest to some very shady locals[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=LuckyEddie; 1121481][B]ATM[/B]. Nothing else even comes close, even if your bank charges ridiculous fees and gives a crappy TRM.
In the airport after you get your luggage and clear DAS find a way to go upstairs as if you were departing on a flight. I know it is a pain in the ass to do this with your luggage and of course you are travelling alone so there is no one else who can just watch your bags.
There are two or three ATMs where you can take out all the scratch you need if you must have pesos immediately.

How many times we have to repeat this? This question comes out so often.
