Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=TheCane;3059535]I am able to lock all of my cards, including my Schwab debit card, to where they can only be used to withdraw funds if and when I personally unlock them. I keep my debit cards locked, and only open them when I want to withdraw some cash. Once I get my money, the card gets locked again immediately, preventing some crook from cleaning out my account. The lock feature is one that I love, and I make use of it without fail. Everybody else should too. It's a free feature designed to protect you and your money. No reason not to. Just remember that you have your account locked before you attempt to withdraw any cash. When I first started using the feature, I had my Schwab account locked for a long time, and I had forgotten I had locked it. Wondered what the hell was going on, and ended up calling the bank, which advised that I had locked the account. Well, at least that proved to me that it works LOL![/QUOTE]Correcto. I've been lazy since being in Colombia for 5 years without incident. But yes Lockdown your ATM cards you can do it on the app in the same place that you tell them that you're going to Colombia.

Pro Tip as Husker Dude said use a ATM attached to a Bank and even better to do it at a Mall in the same location at the same time. Getting Two million out is 500 bucks You use credit cards for all major non Pussy purchases and even if you're a high roller It's kinda hard to spend 500 USD a day solely on pussy and I know some degenerates.

You can also get alerts on spending on the card by text or email and a check of your balance and statements should track your money.

Anything non Pussy or Party favor related should be paid by credit Credit card companies have no problem reimbursing you if you do lose your card.

One other reason to go with Schwab they mail cards to whereever you are free of charge. It will take a few days even thought they overnight it but you can get a new card in a jam.

Chase has a feature where if you lose your credit card you can lock it down while still being able to use it through the app or on Apple or G pay.

I reccommend that someone staying more than two weeks to have two debit cards and two credit cards one of each that remains in the safe.

Better safe than sorry.

Hope this Helps.

Trip.

[QUOTE=RedKing18;3059280]On my first visit I stayed at an Airbnb with no reception, just a private apartment in Manila. I really enjoyed the privacy, and the quiet location. Chicas came, chicas went, no questions.
1. With the whole scopolamine thing, is it really so prevalent and risky to justify staying someplace with a front desk that checks the girl's ID?
2. Does getting the woman's ID actually make you safer?
3. Or is checking your chica in at reception really not a big deal and I just need to get over it? Do the chica's mind?
Thanks guys your experience is valued.[/QUOTE]My whole approach from 2012-2022 (when I was scoped, actually probably ketamine) was to get rentals without porteros in places like Manila, Conquistadores, and broader Laureles. I wasn't doing more than 1-2 a day, but still like to have my privacy. I don't go anymore, but I think you're fine as long as you only drink beers that you directly open. Even if you have mixed drinks these girls can get something in there!

A Portero that has her ID is an even greater deterrent, but given all of the 'sex tourist' stuff these days it may hamper your style. Just what I think.

[QUOTE=TheCane;3059078]You can hide your friends on Facebook. Wouldn't that solve the problem on that particular platform? I don't use Facebook to find girls, but if I did, then hiding my friend list would be an absolute must. I keep my "normal' and my mongering lives completely separate, and never the two shall meet![/QUOTE]Yes you can, but I like friends of mine from various parts of my 'normal' ife to see things and make connections. I've lived in several different cities and been to college 3 x, plus lived outside of the USA Hiding all of those friends would be a bit much for me. It is literally 4-5k people. My Medellin list was ~1k when I stopped in 2022.

[QUOTE=TheCane;3059510]I also have a Schwab debit card. If and when I do return to Medellin, I too will probably stay in Poblado. Which Colombian bank do you prefer these days?[/QUOTE]The best for the most cash and lowest fee is Servibanca, there is one inside the Exito, but there is one super hidden inside of a pharmacy in Provenza.

[URL]https://www.servibanca.com.co/cajeros[/URL][/QUOTE]Yes, that is a lot of discussion about ATMs and money. It's not that difficult. I would agree that Servibanca and Davivienda are the two best bank ATMs. They both allow you to withdraw 2,000,000 pesos in one transaction and the fee is basically the same, about 26 mil or so. Like others have indicated, the Charles Schwab debit card will reimburse you for the bank fees so I don't worry that much about bank fees. The other banks tend to have a lower amount in the range of 600 mil or less but there may be other banks with similar limits. If you are seeing chicas, you definitely have to have cash because they is what they want.

I don't lock down my card because it is too much of a hassle but it would be an extra level of safety.

Using the credit card for eating out and shopping would work for the most part. I generally don't take my credit card outside unless I plan on using it because losing your credit card is a big deal. You definitely have to report it quickly so you should have the telephone number of the CC company written down somewhere.

[/QUOTE]Davivienda and Servibanca each charge the same ATM fee, 26,000 COP. They both allow 2 million withdrawal per transaction. In my experience, Servibanca only dispenses 100 mil notes when getting 2 million. Davivienda almost always dispenses a mixture of 100, 50, 20 and 10 notes. Also, Davivienda has many more ATM's than Servibanca, and most of them are attached to a branch bank. I think Servibanca only has ATM's, no branches. Last year, Servibanca ATM fees were less, but not now.

[QUOTE=MoonShot;3059504]Men who don't spent a $1000 a month on rent just to impress people. I don't know where you get that idea. They do it to get a comfortable apartment. Up to $1000 a month? That is not a lot to spend to rent an apartment in Poblado at all. Why do they then try not to be spend more than $40 or $50 for a girl? It is the whole mentality of trying not to overpay which is separate from the actual amount. Sometimes they get it in their head that there is a so called going rate that they should pay and they shouldn't pay more. If you're paying only $300 a month for an apartment, I don't know about the quality of that apartment but it's all good.[/QUOTE]Many of us will always say it is each individual's money. I have just always found it strange that a person would pay for such a nice apartment or a high-end place to live, yet be very fickle about spending money on girls or entertainment—whatever floats your boat, floats your boat remember it's always " your finances. " I've always thought that was extremely strange in that behavior.

​One thing I notice is that they speak the same Spanish in Poblado that they speak in Centro, Buenos Aires, or Aranjuez. I won't spend extra money to be in Poblado just to say it's 'comfortable and nice. ' I can be comfortable in any neighborhood; therefore, I will always find a place where I feel at home without needing to spend the most to achieve comfort or safety. I take my precautions, I do what I need to do, and I find the best bargain I can for mi plata! That's all I'm saying. " PN!

I haven't tried Davivienda yet, I had easy access to servibanca as there is one in Lleras park LOL.

I have been several times to PL but never saw a ATM like that. I always had to walk like 5 minutes to an ATM outside of Lleras Park. I couldn't find anything closer but curious on this as it will save me time as it sounds like it is in the park?

There is a tiny pharmacy called "Drogueria y Minimarket Pura", it is right next to Pergamino cafe.

PS
The hooter's in Llleras Park have some hotties lol

Personally there's nothing like a comfortable home. Entertainment comes with nice livingroom, big tv, space, even a nice view. King, queen bed that's nicely made. Attractive bathroom. You have rewarded yourself. The most important being. But some guys lose themselves when it comes to p $$$why and will live anywhere to offset the money they are willing to spend for companionship / p$$$y. The mindset of that guy who prefers a nice apartment is women I am first / you got to earn my money. You not going to quote a price and expect me to pay it. I am not going to overpay your ass. You got lots of fools willing and able to do that LOL. Just my thoughts LOL. Shots fiyad as we would say in my neighborhood.

It is as nice as the home live in when I'm in America and much larger than the home that I live in when I'm in America. I make sure that I equip the home with as many of American amenities as I can, because I don't want to have to leave my home and search all day for items in a grocery store or around Medellin, when I can just ship them to my place. On the other hand, I'm not going to haggle or wrestle with a woman about a price that she's requesting for her services. If I'm not happy with the price of services then I just turned the services down, but I'm not going to haggle with someone Simply because I've already set standard. I'm going to make the most of the place that I live in Colombia because it's mine & it is paid for. I don't have to spend another penny in it If I choose not to upgrade it any further. On the same token I'm not going to have a nice home here in Medellin and haggle with women over a 40 or $50 fee for seeing them for 2 to 4 hours.

As I've grown older, life has taught me a lot about people—specifically, how their behavior and lifestyle align with me. When something doesn't add up, I simply remove myself from the equation. I know a dog shouldn't purr like a cat, and a cat shouldn't bark like a dog. That's all I'm going to say about that. PN.

Finally got a chance to see what all the hype is about with this place. It's Semana Santa so the lineup was light, as they only had 8 chicas on duty but the talent was very nice. A couple of spinners, different colors, big bootey, etc. The host told us that there is usually at least 25 or more chicas available. The facility is nice with space to chill out and drink, socialize with the chicas, take a dip in the pool or jacuzzi or there is even a party room with a pole. They told us there are 2 price levels (reminded me of Doctor Amor) some chicas are 550,000 and others are 650,000. I took a few pics of the facility and also their business card, in case anyone is interested.

Do you bring a backpack with your suit to go in pool / jacuzzi? Was there other guys there or was it mostly to yourself? I have never been to an FKKK? But is this kinda like that? Was there a restaraunt on site?
