Medellin Reports

Saturday Night had a better night with my old stand by. I went to Face dos with her and my buddy. Some hotties but still wasnt great quality. Drinks were actually reasonable. My buddy took one out of the club.

Went to San Diego again. Better quality fun time.

Did not go back to Luna Lunera.

Will never get used to leaving the Medellin airport. Long lines huge security got pulled into a room and had two drug dogs sniff everything except my balls. Took an hour or more.

Only went to MDE for 3 days so maybe some of you guys who go and stay longer its not as bad but, I really find Medellin a little on the difficult side.

One more thing. We called Medellin Mansion Sat night as we wanted to stop by check the place out and see if there were any girls hanging around like I have read on the forums.

Was told by the Security Guard who answered the phone that unless I was staying at the hotel I could not go in. I didn't know that was the policy but I certainly Understand it.

If you are not staying at CB or MM or what ever you are calling it YOU CAN"T CAN'T CAN'T go and steal their chicks!

I know I tried to to hop the fence and they sicked the DOGS on me!

LOL!

Hotel policy.

Yes we can show non guests around but only during office hours of 10. 00am and 4. 00pm Mon to Frid, please call first for appointment as Alexa is always busy.

As for sticking the dogs onto you, no, only me! Ja ja ja.

[QUOTE=Aussie Greg; 1214179]You should know mate, you have been robbed / drugged and nearly all other gringos living in Medellin and Colombia.

Every Colombian that I know have been robbed at gunpoint.

My lattest girlfriend was attacked after she got off a bus, left on the strret for a couple of hours before a person found her and called the police and she spent two nights in hospital. She asked me to buy her another telephone and I said fuck you, youll get robbed again!

A. G.[/QUOTE]I know that the obvious correct reaction to being robbed at gun point is to surrender your money and valuables. However, there may be situations where self defense skills would be desirable to know. There are situations where fighting back may be the best option. I would recommend anyone to get basic self defense training such as Krav Maga. We have an excellent school (not Krav Maga) in my area, that is solely how to repel an attacker. It is NOT kung-fu mystical nonsense, but just the nitty gritty basics of survival:

LOL!

I stand corrected. But the girls are not there at that time correct or the visitors can't take the girls? Or can they? I'd imagine the main draw for a non guest / visitor would be the girls and not so much the decorations.

For example if I wanted to come and scoop a chick during office hours that would be a no correct?

Just curious, in what situations would fighting back be better than let money be robbed? Thanks.

[QUOTE=Aussie Greg; 1214514]Mansion policy? Well when I'm there anyway.

I'll call the drug squad with there sniffer dogs if I find out if there is any dugs are on my property.

I get a high out of life, poor bastards who need extra shit to help themselves.

QUOTE=Chocha Monger; 1214435]Aussie,

Thanks to the internet and perceptions that Colombia is now as safe as Costa Rica due to setbacks suffered by the insurgency, you can expect a lot more Western hippie types showing up in your neighborhood looking for cheap cocaine and flea ridden street-stalkers. What is the Mansion's policy on the admission of guests who are dope fiends?[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]Got to call Bullshit on this one. What you call being high on line is being a lush, and a mean one at that. No problem with not wanting to keep illegal drugs off your property, but I personally witnessed you being an asshole to several people while drunk. Save us the "high on life" sanctamoneous bullshit. I love your place, but you treat people like shit-thank god for Boyd and Robert. Many of us stay in spite of you, not because of you.

[QUOTE=Midwest; 1214150]The Alamo was the only one in parque lleras that was showing the bears game last year.

I just called their. Some girl confirmed they're closed.

I asked her if she had any suggestions for this Monday night football & she couldn't help.

Any body have any other suggestions?

Thank you.[/QUOTE]There is a Hostel across from the Crepes and Waffles in zona rosa that has direct tv and shows all the games. They only have 4 tvs one being a big screen but if you ask them they will put any game on you want. They have the NFL package. I don't remember the name but its a really nice Hostel in a very nice area

[QUOTE=Matt Psyche;1214970]Just curious, in what situations would fighting back be better than let money be robbed? Thanks.[/QUOTE]Just a wild guess but it would probably NOT be better to fight back when you open your apartment door and 3 colombian guys are pointing guns at you, LOL! Just goes to show you can never truly let your guard down; if I'm an apartment owner or renter in MDE or some other colombian city, you better be on good first-name terms with your porteros and remember anytime there's a change in the routine at the front desk, like a new portero, there's an opportunity for trouble. If you're going to stay in MDE for awhile, you've got to be on top of that. There's a saying down there that goes like "papaya dada, papaya partida"; it's hard to translate but what it really means is if you make yourself an easy target, it's like someone MUST take advantage of you. Basically, this country works on the reverse of the Golden Rule, LOL!

In a third world country such as Colombia life is very cheap and a thief with a weapon won't hesitate to use it because the likelihood of getting caught and thrown in prison is slim.

this took a little while to get used to but now it has become second nature.

i leave a nice chunk of change in my hotel safe. because i know i will likely need it if and when i bring home company.

then i keep a copy of my i'd, maybe one credit card / atm card, large bills and my room key in my wallet. that goes in my sock.

in my right hand pocket, i have all my coins and small bills for taxi, tips and drinks. never much more than 20k.

in my left pocket i keep only a few 20k bills, a vitamin a condon and a little one shot packet of lube.

so my strategy is like this; when in the game, on the playing field, loading my bases, psyching out my opponent, my hand only goes into my right hand pocket. all my tools for leveraging my power are in my right hand. when the pressure is on, no fumbling through all those damn zeros they put on all their money. this goes for dancers, street vendors, taxis, and also holds true for a mugging. right hand pocket would get emptied onto the floor. with loose change and bills rep001tering and i would disappear like batman in a puff of smoke.

any time i need more cash, i can easily pull a 20k out of my left pocket because i know exactly what is there without even looking. if i need any more that that, i will either pretend i don't have it or excuse myself to a private area which also proves beneficial for negotiations. (don't forget, as horny as you may be, they are even more hungry. so, making them wait for you is invaluable)

i would like to add, i often carry a camera as well as a cell phone. in such cases i may use a little camera case like for a point and shoot. mine has several pockets for hiding all sorts of good stuff. i loop it through my belt, kind of on the back of my hip and then it is easily concealed under my shirt.

so, now that you all know my secrets, please don't mug me. in the most unexpected moments, things can get confusing and intense. i hope this helps some dudes to be prepared. i welcome any comments and constructive criticisms.

safety, peace and fun!

[QUOTE=EstebanH;1214843]there may be situations where self defense skills would be desirable to know. There are situations where fighting back may be the best option.[/QUOTE]Yo have two chances of survival when being robbed at gunpoint: 'slim and none'. Man. I miss this man.

I always carry a photocopy (I have three) of my passport. I also take just enough money for drinks, taxis, and food (120usd) a nigt. I wear a fifty dollar watch (good watch is in safe). I have my 20usd Colombian phone (iphone is in safe). I don't wear jewelry of designer clothes. I don't fuck outside my condo, if I see something I like I exchange numbers and bring them to my place later. My doorman knows I walk the girls up and out later. Everything goes in the safe except for the money I will give her later. Don't let her fix you a drink. Hide your laptop until you finish fucking and arent sleeping. When confornted with a robber with a gun or knife, do as they say. You want them to fell comfortable so they don't shoot you. One hesitant moment or smart word can set them off. If they want my 20 dollar phone and cheap watch and a few dollars, they can have it. I'm not trying to go home in a body bag. Just look at it as a donation to charity.

In our game its not just the dudes that will rob you, the girls are part of the setup also.

Maybe you didn't read my qualifier. If they have a gun or knife, I am handing it all over. If it is some pinche cholo, I will beat the little fuck down.
