Medellin Reports

12 to 15. An hour? US customs officers make a lot more then that, everything else you said is true, they have never questioned me about the viagara, and I always bring about 75 back with me. I just put them in a old prescription bottle that use to have my blood pressure medicine in.

[QUOTE=Slamcity7777; 1211297]Well both Viagra and Cialis are prescription drugs so in the USA you need a script. BUT If you act cool and confident you'll be all right. I've been randomly selected twice by customs coming back they see Colombia and a young guy and I get flagged all the time. I just go and chat with the guy as if we're on an elevator together or at a diner as he searches my shit, try to be polite and helpful. You kow normal and you're fine. They're looking for KEYS of Coke not some limp dick gringo coming back with a hand full of ED tabs.

What also help is to take them out of the box; NOT THE FOILS. Put them into a baggie with day-quil, allergy pills, common cold shit, anything that comes in a blister pack that you would normally have with you when you travel. In an x-ray the just look like any ordinary pills (as long as it's not like hundres of them) and even during a hand search if they don't open the bag and read each foil they'd just check it and move on. You have to remember this guy is making $12-$15 bucks an hours. He just looking to run out the clock on the day and go home, have a beer, see his kids.[/QUOTE]

What are you talking about when you say just order cialis and bring it with you its cheaper? Generic cialis is dirt cheap in Cartagena. I pay between 1 and 2 dollars apiece. I can't find that anywhere in the states even with my prescription plan.

[QUOTE=WiltTheStilt; 1211257]I have been secondary'ed at many airports, I have to travel a lot for work plus I have a lot of stamps in my passport and a beard, so yes it happens all the time.

I almost think you can learn about a country's culture through the experience, for example the Canadians cannot even feign severity, they are just too nice.

In Colombia international flights they are almost certainly going to rifle through your carry on and personal item, that is in the primary search. The secondary searches I've been through mostly consisted of a body scan and a series of questions. You go off into another room (in Cartagena it is up some stairs) and it doesn't take that long.

In the USA, it often consists of a second, more thorough search and can also mean going into a little office with an officer. I've always just been asked more specific questions about the purpose of my trip or whatever.

I would not bring back generic meds from Colombia, not because of the risk but because you can just order them straight to your home for a much cheaper price. Just order them and bring them with you, they never check much of anything coming in let alone that (nor do the Colombian authorities give a shit). Coming back you can either check them or just ditch your remaining supply.

More and more I think the focus is on big quantity smugglers of whatever substance and weapons / explosives, small time stuff does not get sweated unless officer hardass finds that marijuana seed in your jean pocket and just HAS to screw you over.[/QUOTE]

RE: ED stuff, I guess Cialis is still about $1-$1. 50 a pill but you can get levitra and viagra for way less. Viagra like 30 cents a pill from raymeds if you buy a good number, free shipping, too.

RE: American football in MDE, well you will get games of the week on cable. Often it's the Chargers because they run the feed in from Mexico, who frequently has the Chargers (proximity to Mexico / Tijuana). Sometimes there is another game, they showed the Falcons and Panthers the last time I bothered to watch. There are also college games on, strangely I've noticed there will be a live game or two on Saturday, and then some replays on Sunday.

Outside of what random stuff (and the NCAA games are truly random it seems) , there is a bar in parque lleras, are you walk up the hill it's on the right hand side, that sort of fancies itself an American sports bar. I checked it out during the NCAA tournament but it was already in the Elite 8 so all the games were on TV anyway. There or maybe Hooters might be your best bet for any additional games. Overall the interest is very limited in American football. Basketball is more popular and on the coast they actually show as many MLB games in a day as USA cable and more than Canadian cable. Some days you see five or six games between ESPN, Fox Sports, UNE stations and the weird Caribe channel that showed the World Series this year.

[Also, try the Alamo Bar also in PArque Lleras. The American owners have a similar bar in Buenos Aires in the Calle Uruguay and Santa Fe Avenida area.

I am curious as to what the name of the product would be.

Like 90k for four 10mg, available in any supermaket pharmacy or drogas la rebaje.

The Alamo Bar has closed and gone out of business. Didn't last very long maybe 7-8 months is all. I like the one in BA, a fun place to go and have a beer, watch a game.

Well, I don't know what you call it but I buy sildenfil 50 mg tablets for 15000 peso and I get 4 tablets each of 50mg. You only need 1 tablet and you will be ready for slamming the thing in whatever comes your way. Believe me I'm 50 years old and do all kind of drinking and you name it and this stuff never lets me down. I'm not real smart so maybe its not generic cialis but its dick pills and they work. I believe 15, 000 peso is like 8 us dollars so thats 2 us dollars per pill. I go there all the time and will be there again Nov 3. All the pharmacys will try to charge you more but they haggle and I buy all my stuff cheaper then if you just take what they say. I got one pharmacy where the guy sells to me with no receit but you take that for what it is, then I only pay like 50 cent apiece and give him the money directly and its right in the pharmacy.

Did they have girls down there in BA at that bar? I was always too focused on the games.

[QUOTE=You69Me;1209016]FrankCasio = Primitive[/QUOTE]Here is the bottom line. If you don't like Franks Place, don't stay there. I know frank. We are now friends. He I is not hurting for cash. So I am sure he doesn't give a shit if you like his place or not. But here is the reality. For hunting pussy in Mayo it is perfect. If Mayo is not for you, stay somewhere else. But for you to say primative is BS. I do okay and can easily afford to stay anywhere in Medellin. I stay in Mayo and I am safe and happy with the accommodations at Franks.

Before every post you had started with' What the fuck are you talking about' but now I respect most of what your saying. You are an asset to this comminity.

I love this forum! Sometimes I do come off like a jackoff, but I don't mean to. I tri to give back with whatever help I can. Have a great day! Leaving for Cartagena this Thursday!
