Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=SlowBlow;2888917]I know Google translate isn't perfect but it shows "I've been learning" as "he estado aprendiendo". Also I've never had any Spanish friends correct me for saying this either. I know that "estaba trabajando" is "I was working" and that's correct.[/QUOTE]Yea maybe Huacho is wrong. Or he's just going off of pure text book rules and not actually how people speak in real life. I've always used "estaba durmiendo" or "estaba dormido" to say I was sleeping. Although since living here I've picked up "me quedé dormido. " in Spanish there are multiple ways to say the same thing. I don't think one is necessarily more correct than the other, just how in Colombia it's "la nevera" but in Mexico it's "el refri" there's more than one way to say the same thing.

Not only that but there's shit you can't even learn from the text books at all. Such as a paisa will substitute the word "amigo" with the word "parce" and a Venezuelan will use the word "pana" for "amigo" and it's not pano for a male it's pana for both males and females.. Are you gonna say that's incorrect too Huacho?

[QUOTE=Kbdb2488;2888947]My buddy is arriving Monday and his airbnb account got flagged for "suspicious activity" and cancelled his reservation, blocked his account, nightmare.

Can someone please mention the guest friendly hotels that can be booked short notice? He will be there for 8 nights. I have heard Energy living is only booked through airbnb, true? I recommended Hotel Dorado in Laureles but hopefully more is out there. Now I will be checking my airbnb reservation daily until I return in late Feb.[/QUOTE]Try San Peter Apartments in Laureles. I always stay there for a few days. Guest friendly with a valid Colombian ID and no chica fee.

Guest friendly with a valid Colombian ID and no chica fee.[/QUOTE]I never stay in these places so I don't really know or care but I do have a question to which the answer may help other guys who do stay there. When you say a valid Colombian ID does this mean only a Colombiana with a cedula de ciudadania or does this also include other forms of ID issued by the Colombian government such as a Venezuelan with a valid PPT or cedula de extranjeria?

Asking for guys who may want to stay at San Peter Apartments and might want to bring a vennie back to their place.

Just 2 blocks away from la 70 so quieter

[QUOTE=GangsterDog;2870430]So I've been planning this trip for 2 years now but I couldn't find anyone to go until now. Finally bought my ticket.

I will be there from Dec 11th - 17th.

Main priorities are Guatape, Loutron, Cerro El Picacho, Energy Spa, New Life, La Isla, Fase Dos, Luna Lunera, Comuna 13, Want to do a Colombian Party bus.

And Crepes and Waffles (LOL).

Definitely bar hopping all 7 of these days. If anyone wants to join for a beer I'm down.

I've been messaging Facebook girls for a while now. How much should I quote them?

Also any tips? Will probably end up at Gustos one day cause the first 3 days will be in Laureles then Poblado the last 3 days.[/QUOTE]Any spot in particular that you enjoyed?

Thanks, I appreciate it!

San Peter will accept an original Venezuelan passport, even if the date has expired. However, they will not grant entry with the temporary IDs issued by the Colombian government to some Venezuelan refugees on the grounds that they are too readily forged.

Crepes and Waffles, LOL!, that is a good one. You gave me a good laugh.

Just 2 blocks away from la 70 so quieter[/QUOTE]There are two issues. One is that there is construction with renovating an older building into more units by the owner so there is construction noise in the daytime at times. Second, there is no security at all, no doorman, no reception area. So you do lose any type of protection against druggings and robberies.

So I wouldn't recommend it to those not experienced in Medellin but if you take proper safeguards and you have been to Medellin a few times, it can be a good place to stay once the construction is finished later this year or so.

Hello Fellow ISGers.

I wanted some of your thoughts whether or not one should consider some girls from FB as possibilities for scoping us? I know the golden rules are do not ever get girls from Tinder, or other similar dateing apps, but FB is not really a "dating app" per se. I know many of us on here, including myself, have had good experiences on FB and never had any issues, but I am wondering if I should take extra precaution here as well. Has anyone had any stories of friends getting drugged, specifically from Facebook girls? Thanks your inputs are appreciated.

However, many of them have multiple other gringos or whatevers as friends, so when a profile shows up and you have 40 friends in common it is likely she has been in the business for a while, and knows a few other mongers who you also may know. Anyway. Friends in common, real looking pictures of family, etc. , long time on Facebook, not a brand new account. Lots of ways of doing some screening.

Zeos about summed it up . You have to consider it is always a possibility that you can get scoped by anyone but in my opinion it is less likely to happen with an FB chica. I suggest you gather at least a hundred or more FB prepagos before reaching out.

Yet again if you are new to the FB scene than you may not have the resources to tell a fake profile from a old scanky prepago LOL. That is the difference bettween an FB and a Tinder profile. FB chica's profiles are more complex and than a Tinder profile and so its easier to spot a fake one. Often times with the FB chicas I have 20 or more mutual friends. Also you can see on many profiles their photos through the years and see photos where the chica is standing with another known prepago. That being said I have around 2000 FB chicas friends in medellin so I can usually tell. Many of the younger chicas are not into posting photos. FB is old fashion to them and they are strung out on that Tik Tok dope. Which defeats their purpose if they are serious about making money but I guess they are not so I stay wary of them.

I personally feel that one of the best precautions you can take is to stay in a building that has professional security where they make a copy of the chicas identification and keep iot when they have them sign in.

We always talk about staying far away from Tinder, but FB safety is not mentioned. I have been going to Medellin for about 5 years and mongered for 15 years so I am not new to the game. I guess I was also just more curious to see if anyone had heard of druggings specifically from FB but it seems like not so much an issue. It's a great point you make and agree that one of the best things you can do is stay at a place that takes their ID. This is is why I always stay at Hotel DuParc which does do this and has cameras with a doorman. In most of the druggings I have seen commentary on many druggings in Medellin and the victim is not in a secure building with these security measures.
Also, I like both of your points about staying away from fake or suspicious, making sure you have some mutual FB friends in common. , I will not befriend profiles that look new, suspicous, etc and will always mandate a video call before I go out with a girl to make sure it is not fake. Any more mongers tips or experiences much appreciated.

There are chicas that seem to be selling and buying, or lending, access to friend lists, and a chica sending you a friend request and who already has other friends in common still might be a bad person. So if I get a friend request I also look at everything else, her posts, etc. Etc. And if it is a bare minimum account with only pictures of the chica herself it is a no go as far as accepting them as a friend. I'm not terribly active with my Facebook stuff for Medellin, so most of my friends there are from a few years back, and once in a while I get a friend request from a friend of one of those. Some are legit I think, others I'm not so sure. In any case even if I think they are legit and probably fine I let them age for a while. I'm not there anyway at the moment, and so not trying to arrange anything with any of them anyway.
