Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Manizales911;1318805]I love Colombia as much as the next guy. In fact I plan to live there as soon as I finish getting my affairs in order here in the states. I personally have a different reason for living in Colombia, I have a three year old daughter there and want to be part of her life and help raise her. To say that men come here because of the weather and food is preposterous in my opinion. Men come here for one reason and one reason only and that is the women, they enjoy everything else this beautiful country has to offer as an aside only. If there were no women none of us would have come to Colombia.[/QUOTE]A little breath of fresh air honesty here! Thank-you!

That and decrepit krusty old gringos like to come here to be perverted, and live out their delusional fantasies where hot, young women "like" them because they think they're self proclaimed "casanovas" and they're "philosophical sermons" in spanglish are an aphodisiac to Colombian women, not the girth of their wallets! Jejejeje

[QUOTE=Reefski;1318840]Please don't argue with my spiritual guru when he's on a roll trying to impress a reporter. Pissing on his parade is obviously bad energy, even if it's true.[/QUOTE]Jejejeje LOL.

I personally enjoy the fat statues at the botero museum, riding the metro, metro cable all day, then walk over to watch the street jugglers then finally topping it all off with a world class thai smorgasbord at thaico! Could do this everyday easily for a couple of weeks. Beach and women? Who needs them.

Cheers.

I came here for different reasons.

1) The weather.
2) Low property values.
3) High standard of living at a reasonable price.
4) Beautiful but complicated girls.
5) An exciting country ready to open up to international tourism and trade.
6) Great food, music and very friendly people who are very agriculural minded.
7) Spectacular mountains, rivers.
Thats why I have settled in Colombia.

To come to give love and attention. No discussion of whether she will love you, or not: with your plan, it can't be avoided. She has a daddy that loves her and wants to be in her life, and is willing to move a continent away to do it You will change her life, as she has changed yours. What a gift!

Thanks for the good energy.

Cheers.[/QUOTE]Thats a real fucked up neighborhood they put those escalators in (slums of comuna 13) I wouldn't recommend anybody "sightseeing" those. Why a gringo would need to be hanging around in that area is beyond me. Even if I did find that "diamond in the rough" in that estrato 0-1, I would make her take the metro or spring for a taxi!

Yogi Tender is smothering us with peace and love. Swami Ricker is crooning 'We are the World'. Goddamed Rainbow Coalition.

Ya know something; I never thought I'd say this, but I'm beginning to miss Urban Wildlife.

-Only hard rods-[/QUOTE]Well, it really is all about "Peace and Love" or is it about getting a peice and loving it?

[QUOTE=Danny Shark; 1318629]So, you tell me that you come here because you like colombian girls, and because it's easier. But, in the years of intense violence in the city, did you kept coming here? This city isn't the most secure place in earth, even now, then, why would risk your life coming here for a bunch of women?

This are my last questions. Thanks all for your answers and time.[/QUOTE]"why would risk your life coming here for a bunch of women?"

My short answer is I go because it is awesome here. A little danger is a good thing as it keeps away a lot of overpaying sheep.

Now if MDE is a little to racy for some then go to CTG instead. It is safer there, and you can pay for that safety in spades.

A. G.[/QUOTE]I agree with all but one. Great food? Only if you don't mind about variety. One maybe two decent Italian and one decent Chinese restaurant. Good Peruvian food. That's it! No Greek, Turkish, Indian, Thai etc. Not even fresh (living) lobsters!

Men,
I eat Colombian cobber and the odd Aussie Gregs barbie pool side, smahed potatoes mmmmmmm. Dont go out much now, I like cooking in the kitchen, sanchocho australiano, my aussie meat pies and of course my Aunty Kates famous apple pie's with granny smiths apples and vanila ice cream.

I'll be living on fresh "living" lobsters for the next 3 weeks mate in Choco and Uraba.
Plenty of Greek around, you just need to ask the right girls mate!
Indian, I'll be there for 2 months next Febuary watching cricket, not looking forward to that but I guess they have a few more resteraunts international since 86 when I was there, I hope !!.
As for Turkish, I do miss there beef / lamb / fresh bread rolls on the banks of the Borsfruss.

[QUOTE=Ezyngo; 1318381]No.

Refer to the map of centro casas.

I imagine with traffic, it's not so close either.

3 Quick questions.

1. Are the SW in El centro (53 and degriff) there also at day time or like Mayo (after 10 pm)?

2. How much should TLN should cost on the low end (Mayorista, El centro SW')?

3. Any recommended girls friendly Hotels at El Cnetro?

Thanks

A. G.[/QUOTE]Right on the money, those are the very same reasons I came to Medellin. I looked into Real Estate in Costa Rica and realized quickly that it was over priced. I figured, Colombia being a virgin Country with less tourism and outside investments would have much better Real Estate prices, and I was right. My researched payed off and I was able to make $25, 000 on my very first investment and purchased a second property. Not to mention that everybody was scared shitless of Colombia keeping real estate and everything else reasonably priced.

Second thing I did was to look at pictures of women from Costa Rica and Colombia in A Foreign Affair and Colombian Sweethearts websites, and realized right away that colombian women were much more beautiful and greater in numbers. I was not looking at all at the tourism industry and came precisely because I didn't think there was any. I came looking for a wife and found an Eternal Spring Paradise with beautiful mountains, greenery, flowers and more women than one can ever dream of. I tried to get married, but it was difficult with so many beautiful women, and you all know how that went. The rest of that story is written in these ISG pages, he, he.

After almost 6 years I finally got my Permenant Residence in Colombia and I'm more free now to live outside in the USA, as before I had to proof for 5 years that I resided in Colombia. Hence for 5 and a half years I only came back to the USA for 3 weeks every year. Now I can stay out of Colombia up to 2 years and not loose my Colombian Residency. But of course I never stay away that long. I spend 3 months in Tampa and 2 months in Medellin and so on.

And the second thing I don't share with Aussie is the "great food" idea. The food is precisely what I find the most boring in Colombia and why I stay in Tampa 3 months and only 2 months in Medellin. I find the great variety of food and reataurants at reasonable prices in the USA far superior to the meager selection in Colombia. Any variance in Colombia from the typical "Bandeja Paisa" can get costly for a colombian budget. You might be thinking, with so many beautiful women in Medellin why spend more time in Tampa? Well, with respect to that, after having access to so many women in Medellin, you need a break. And at 53, I'm finding out now that indulging my palate is almost up there with the beautiful women in Medellin, he, he.

But I am leaving my mark in this beautiful Medellin Paradise. In a couple of weeks I will be having a baby with a nice "Paisita".28 yrs. Old, with degrees in Accounting and Enviromental concerns.

Frank Casio!
