Medellin Reports

This news article (from back in November) may be of interest to those of you who (like me) are over 65 (and who qualify as "gringos" as most narrowly defined**) regardless of your political leanings (or whether you may or may not think this would be a good use of your US tax dollars). Something to keep our eyes on as events unfold--especially if, in addition to being an elder of the community, you find condoms to be the enemy of pleasure.

The drugs, known by the shorthand "PrEP," would be free in pill form and -- for the first time -- as long-acting injectables through the government insurance program designed for those 65 and older. ".

** A footnote on the use of "Gringo", the subject of some back and forth here several weeks ago. As detailed in the following link, the term definitely varies in usage from country to country: sometimes it's an insult; elsewhere it's perfectly friendly. In some places "gringo" narrowly denotes someone from the USA; sometimes it applies to most any foreigner. In Peru it can refer to anyone who's fair skinned, even a fellow Peruvian. ([URL]https://www.spanish.academ[/URL]why / blog / what-is-the-meaning-of-gringo-the-history-and-origin-of-the-term /.

The Spanish etymological dictionaries concur that the term originated from "Griego", the Spanish word for a Greek. As early as 1787, the "Diccionario Castellano" (1787) reports that "gringo" was used in Malaga for "anyone who spoke Spanish badly," and in Madrid for "the Irish. " Griego evolved into the American Spanish verb engringarse "to act like a foreigner. " The belief (repeated during the ISG discussion) that "Gringo" originated later, during the Mexican-American War (of 1846-'48) from cries of "Green Go Home " (referencing the green uniforms sported by the invading Yankees) is described as "etymological folklore"--i.e. the linguistic equivalent of an urban myth.

Holiday tomorrow so many places will be closed like the casa's including Energy. Don't about clubs like Gustos or Fase 2 though.

[QUOTE=LvZooMan211;2875408]Laureles. San Peter apartments is a good place. I always stay there when I visit Medellin. They have 24 x7 security and all girls must have a valid Colombian ID. They also have an American bar downstairs where you can hang out with other gringos.[/QUOTE]Would you mind sharing the link for this apartment so I can book this the next time I visit Medellin. I'm so tired of staying in poblado and needed somewhere new.

[QUOTE=IntBond0;2875407]Where can you find girls like this in Colombia? Last time I was there most the girls were poor looking or not that attractive and out of shape. Bbl's and fake tits don't do it for me.[/QUOTE]Photoshop.

But fake butts do?

But fake butts do?[/QUOTE]She's from Argentina but has a million followers, came to the states and people are losing their mind about her because of that booty LOL if most of the girls from south America that are fit cane to the states, the outcome would be the same.

You can google San Peter Apartments Medellin and it will show up on multiple sites like, [URL]hotels.com[/URL], [URL]booking.com[/URL], orbitz, expedia, etc. The prices are very similar on all the sites. The apartments are all different so it all depends on what's available.

I went to Medellin once and stayed in Poblado. Me and buddy took an uber to The Mansion. It was a ways away from where we were staying. But the Mansion we went to is not the same as the one I see people mention here as the Hotel M. The Mansion I went to was up a long windy driveway, like your going into the woods. Sat a top a hill. It was huge inside and it had a bar inside where you wait to have the girls showcased to you.

I looked at google maps at the Hotel M and that can't be it.

Funny how some people develop what they like from pictures and how many followers an account has versus what they see outside in real life.

You could surmise that if most of the girls from the States went to South America, then the same thing would happen. It is only a case of people taking an affinity to what is exotic to them. If you had grown up with those same girls then you would care less about their pictures of how many followers they had. They would just be regular ass Betty and Sue to you. Trust me. None of these chicks' former classmates and neighbors have lost their minds over this internet account.

I think I booked it on expedia with pay at location. They only accepted cash for payment at San Peter. No credit card or debit availble.

18 year-old girl has been arrested for the murder of 55 year old American in El Poblado (20+ stab wounds).

The victim had contacted the alleged aggressor through a dating platform.

Rental price per unit tends to vary accordingly. All that said, there are a number of long term, happy campers there, myself included (a geezer who can deal with any residual Bad Bunny, Latin Trap decibels from the street below by removing his hearing aids at night).

The Hotel M is not a casa or similar. It's a regular guest house that girls happen to hang out at. The hotel has no function in selecting girls, getting girls, or such. Hotel M (the mansion) is located here: [URL]https://maps.app.goo.gl/AyewuNghXyKHhAqi7[/URL].

I've never stayed at the San Peter but I've been on la 70 many times at different times of day. I don't know how anyone could live there. I'm told there are soundproof windows but I have my doubts I could tolerate it. There are other options. My recommendation would be to spend a bit of time with one of the map applications and be sure the places you consider are at least two streets away from la 70. The noise level is really hard to imagine until you experience it and it goes on all night every night.

I decided to hit up Centro as I haven't been down here in a while and I have this 21 year old vennie that I met back in August that's been dying to repeat with me. I got her to agree to BBFS cip for 60 mil and I pay the room. She didn't disappoint by the way.

I got down here a little early and while I was waiting for her to arrive I did a tour around plaza botero inside of the barriers. I noticed that behind the museum there is a gap in the barriers (see attached photo) where people can exit and enter onto cra 53 (the bar street) without any police there manning the gap. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of even having the barriers in the first place?

Anyways centro is still as great as always I had a great session and my favorite limonada lady still hooks me up with a big ass vaso of limonada for 2 mil pesos.

I was disappointed to see that one my favorite restaurants "Chorizos and Asados" is no longer there. It got replaced by some bullshit called Rey de Sopas.

The third picture is from inside hotel botero real (el hotel rojo) from the point of view of the stairs looking out of the entrance.

I expected these barriers to be good soon maybe within the next month as soon as Fico takes over.
