Medellin Reports

A knife you can run from, sometimes. A gun, not so much. The one time I had a knife pulled on me, the guy pulled it just a little too soon, maybe 6-8 feet instead of the recommended 3 or 4 feet, and I turned and ran. Most low lifes aren't in very good shape. Was it the right thing to do? I don't know; I just reacted. In general everyone says,"Well, if someone does X, I will do Y." Maybe, but if no one has ever done X to you it's hard to say how you will respond.

Medellín is the only place I have ever been successfully robbed, if you want to call dislocating my jaw to steal 1700 pesos "successful." Maybe ten days later, two guys messed with me right downtown in broad daylight with the cops watching, and I resisted, and the cops did nothing and then threatened to arrest [B]me[/B] for "excessive use of force against a Colombian citizen." Translation: we want a bribe. Also got scammed by a taxista who then called the cops on me. All of this in five weeks. I have been to 30 countries and Medellín is, in my opinion, [B]the[/B] most dangerous place I have been.

Nice weather, though.

[QUOTE=Dickhead;1215282]Nice weather, though.[/QUOTE]I believe you're not in Medellin right now. Caught the metro back to Mayo from Parque Berrio, intended to disembark at station Ayura and it was raining like there was no tomorrow the past two days. But the thing was I truly believed the metro skipped Ayura and proceeded to stop only at the next station, Envigado. Or was it me that missed a station given that I was a little tired? So obviously I had to go a U-turn.

Sounds prudent. I hope I am reading right this time. Thanks.

[QUOTE=EstebanH; 1215211]Matt,

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.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure they announce it as the train is pulling up to where you get on, but you need decent Spanish to understand the loudspeaker.

'Business' seemingly remains excellent for Porn Star even though she apparently just picked up another 5 lbs after another every time I saw her. In one of the nights I was at Mayo, I witnessed, with an amazement, that at least 3 guys picked her up within a span of 2 hours. Man. She looks really heavy now. But still hot compared to a majority of girls there in some particularly slow night.

More and more gorditas show up to parade up and down the Mayo sidewalk. A few priced $20K / 30min as I walked by them. They're just not my type.

I picked up a dead fish in one night. Look 7, body 7, and she was exactly my type for those of you that know me. Paid her $20K / 30min after the sex and bye bye.

Last night was particularly exceptional. More girls than guys. Spotted 3 chicas above 7 but did not pick up anyone because I had TLN with 2 non-pros, one new and one favorite, one on each night, on 2 consecutive nights and was exhausted. Only wanted to check out the scene. A few decent chicas (6 or 7) walked by me and demanded $30K for ONE HOUR. I asked them again to confirm and yes, gentlemen, $30K PESOS FOR ONE HOUR. I thought they must have had a SALE going on. JAJAJAJAJA.

I saw a table of 3 or maybe 4 gringos in front of hotel Los Cristales next to hotel Cielo Azul. If they were one or all of you, I salute you. I was standing close to the street and watching how they were operating. I did not see any of them leave with a chica. Wondered why. Very strange.

And Matt. Los Cristales is the hotel next to Cielo Azul, not La Amistad. But I think you and I are the only ones that want to remember these names. Strange again.

Also seen, just like many times before, was another group of 3 good-looking and very young gringos. What in the world were they doing in Mayo, again I thought.

A Colombian guy- better looking than most Colombianos there, from Manizales approached me and asked how much one chica cost. Was informed this was his first time in Mayo. I told him $20K / 30 min. Not longer than 5 minutes, I saw him leave with a chica, probably a 6.

Wow, I don't want to jinx my luck here or make light of any of your experiences but none of these things have ever come remotely close to happening to me.

I have spent close to a year and a half total in Colombia, with much of it being in Medellin and never had a hairy situation with a Colombian. I go places by myself all the time, too, and while I don't tempt fate I am certainly not afraid to go out at night, hang out in a neighborhood (no strata 1 stuff, but 2s, definitely) , etc.

Not once have I been in a confrontation or even felt like I was being sized up in a way that could have led to an altercation or robbery. Part of it is probably my age / size, that keeps away the riff raff looking for an easy score and the fact that I'm American keeps away serious kidnappers. Still, there's a pretty big gray area between those two groups.

One thing I would watch very closely is your drinks at a bar, I do know several people who've had burundanga experiences and that sounds really really shitty. Plus it can have lasting effects, too. Just nasty stuff. Overall I think if you exercise a little bit of caution and don't lollygag, you're pretty safe in any big city, Medellin included. The places out in the cut are the most dangerous, especially any border towns or trafficking routes. You could your life there pretty easily.

Really it's pretty remarkable how far security has come in Colombia in ten years, let alone 20. I know a lot of older people here or the girls tell me about when they were kids. Tons of kidnappings, shootouts, explosions and wild ass shit that seems like a distant memory to this generation of young Colombians.

When I was there last year, Nancy charged me 140k for 2 hrs with the best looking girl of about ten. This year she says 170k for 2hrs.

A little after midnight this past Thur, she only had 4 girls & only Sofia, a nice litlle spinner (my fave) was doable.

We agreed on 150k but at the end she charged me 20k for 2 drinks, so she got her 170k.

Frankly, Nancy looked even more tired / bored this yr. Than last, I don`t think she give a shit any more.

I don't know what this place used to be before but it was probably great looking in its heyday. I think this place, with all that room has a lot of potential with the right investor.

For now, I think I'll stay away.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't make it any safer. Back in the '80's it was much more dangerous for Colombians due to the drug violence. The danger to gringos is robbery and that hasn't changed one bit, sorry. And your size and age doesn't mean squat to a thief, ask the member here Bango Cheito, he is a very big boy and had to fight for his life and damn near lost it. I too have spent a considerable time in Colombia and consider myself lucky to have had only a pickpocket incident and a knife drawn on me in a dispute and I am the lowest key dude you will ever meet. One can reduce their odds of being a victim by taking your advise, especially concerning drinks but at the end of the day Colombia is a third world country and at any time trouble can and eventually probably will find you.

Biggest target these days besides the obvious bling wearing fool?? Girls with Blackberrys!! Almost every single chica I know on FB and 2 dudes have been robbed usually by two punks on a moto. One driver for the quick get away why the other does the gun toting dirty work.

These are girls from every estrato. But more recently girls from estratos 5-6 because the punks know where the IPHONE 4's and blackberry's are in abundance. Every freaking week I see a new post by a girl on FB that she has been robbed. The girls are always devastated but It's almost surreal because it's like they expect it to come sooner of later. My other boy was robbed leaving his house in Laureles in a dark area, had to give up his wallet, watch and they took his shitty old nokia.

All I walk around with in MDE is a Kenneth Cole watch. 200k pesos, a nokia 2210 (cheapest model) , some raincoats and copy of my passport and that's it. Me to SICARIO: "YOU WAN'T IT? HERE TAKE IT CON GUSTO!"

You think the worldwide isn't hitting Colombia as well? A lot of my lady friends are sitting at home online on the weekends because they have not even one peso in their pockets and no dude has asked them out yet.

Don't leave the house with anything you can't live without. PERIOD.

At night you can add digital camera to that list but I usual roll with my posse' of locals.

I noticed that Porn Star was getting big. I see that most of Mayo chicas get fat after working there regularly. I have not seen single girl who got thin. It is not surprising since they get beers and food from guys there. It would be difficult not to eat or drink, and just stand in Mayo.

You are right about Cristales. In dark area between Cristales and Amistad, gang guys are hanging around. Usually one of them is killed every year.

[QUOTE=Midwest; 1214164]Do you have the address? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I was also interested in a decent massage by lovely chicas. I found their web site and from the video would seem very enticing if those were the actual masseuses.

[url]http://omspa.co/index.html[/url]

They are located on the 4th floor of the Rio Sur mall (centro comerciale). The mall is in Poblado directly across from Oviedo Mall and McDonald's.

Stopped by yesterday around 5pm. I was quoted a rate of COP 70. 000 pesos for the massage. That's more than double the COP 30 mil that Mfins paid for his massage. (Posting# 8546 November 4th) Mfins did you get a 2 hand or 4 hand massage? I wonder if the price I was quoted was for a 4 hand because they promote that on their web site.

The receptionist girl said it would be a 20 minute wait so I didn't stick around. Debating if I should go back. It works out about $35usd which is still pretty cheap if it is a good massage compared to back home.

It was a pretty quiet shop and I didn't see any other sgn of the other services they offer on their web site.

Just back from Medellin. Spent a little more than a week there.

Great time as usual.

Overall thoughts:

Still the prettiest girls on the planet IMO, but not near as hot in the cama as the Brasileiras, again IMO.

Went about everywhere in Medellin for the PFP recon.

Strip clubs, high end and low, the central street (BTW, if you don't think it's dangerous out there, you're nuts) ,

The Mayo, the Mansion, daytime casas and of course some good old Non Pro fun too, which was more expensive

Than any of the Pros, cause I was buying dinners, gifts, family stuff, etc.

Funny thing is, the hottest chica I was with was a Mayo chica I met and befriended.

Lots of fuglies out there but got I got lucky and found her, cause she doesn't trounce about there.

Much.

Took some schmoozin because she was very leary and cold at first, without good spanish and personality,

She'd be a cold one for sure, and I saw her turn down or just ignore guys alltogether.

Happens a lot with some of the hot ones at the Mayo actually. Selective.

Anyway, I ended just calling her and we'd meet up.

Great loving sex with her, once she realized I wasn't a monster haha.

Now she's texting me on my US phone.

I'm going to keep her in the stable for my next visit.

Fun times, I'll be back soon.

Tomorrow back to Brasil, my Garotas (chicas) are getting restless haha.

Started the day with the Medellin chica list.

Went to Geishas's, which is well documented on ISG and youtube on how to get there. Once inside, was told there are 'dos chicas, nada mas' so I took Vanessa for $35, 000 COP and was satisfied. I asked her why there were only two girls working and she basically said because not a lot of chicos come there. I took that and got back on the metro. My opinion is that this place is super safe and super easy to get to, since it is basically at the bottom of the metro station stairs, which are highly protected by the police. Centro is hit or miss in my opinion, but why risk saving $15-$20 in a chica for a chance that something bad may happen to you. I'd rather pay the $20 and be safe.

Later this night, went to Afinitron on Calle 33. Seems to be better than in the past, with about 10-14 chicas working. I went to the upstairs rooms, $55, 000 for a media de Ron and 2 shows. As advertised. Looks like they now own the brothel that was next door as they now offer sexo next door. Instead of in the upstairs room which seemed to be common practice a few years ago. The hotel / short time rooms next door seemed safe to me, but there was not anyone else there besides the lady that opened the door, in case something went down. I took Leidy for $80, 000 COP, she was asking $100, 000, I got her down. But she was worth it, in my eyes.

Seems like the owner Marcoi has had a medical problem and is in the hospital as of now. But all in all, seemed a safe place for gringos, but as always, be careful.

Leidy told me she usually has four clients per night, one of those being a gringo. Take that for what its worth.

The last time I visited M-Street I was singing the song in my mind "Who let the pigs (dogs) out?"

Relapse

Unfortunately, the massage was pure crap. I paid 70k pesos for the tantric massage which they advertise on their web site as a sensual massage focusing on your erogenous zones. I think it was pretty clear what I was expecting; I great massage with a happy ending. The masseuse, average looking at best, was totally worthless and I felt like I was her first client. And no amount of coaxing after the flip would convince her to take care of me. After a shower I asked the secretary (who was smoking hot, BTW) , what was the deal with the misleading advertising? She stated your knees and elbows could be considered erogenous zones. Perhaps they've changed masseuses since that time and the quality of the massage has improved. But my experience was not good.

I'm still looking for a place where I can get a high-quality massage in a spa environment (with steam room, etc) and a happy ending. Something along the lines of Colmegna Spa in Buenos Aires. Does such a place exist here?
