Medellin Reports

[Gone023]

Do anyone know the name of Pable Escarbar Mansion in Medellin? The one where all the girls are at and the rooms upstairs.

[Lugnut]

It's not that complicated. Stick to legal visitors, review the building rules before booking to ensure you can live with them, tell the portero to check with you before sending any visitors up, limit the number of times you accompany visitors in common areas (hallways, the building entrance, elevators) because most are monitored by video recording and by building resident who will be watching you. From time to time of course you will want to accompany visitors and that's ok. The problems will happen when you are noticed doing it several time a day every day.

Dammit. My problem just arrived. 90 minutes ago (7:45 pm) the portero called me and told me that I can't have any visitors. I went down to talk to him (better than on the phone) and he said it's the order of the building administrator, and that I need to talk to the owner of my unit. I'm very surprised by this news. I don't make excessive noise and we've never been drunk or caused a disturbance and I've only had one visitor per day, except yesterday, when I had two, and they were both repeats.

I've always walked my guests in and out of the building; I know that Knowledge advises otherwise; I figured that I was insuring that nothing undesirable would happen, which absolutely has not.

I have a feeling that I'll be looking for a new apartment soon. The good news is that there is an abundance of availability right now. What sucks is that I really like this place. I'll bet the owners will be bummed too.

I'll post an update in the morning after I talk to my landlord.

I only allowed her to come over to keep my girlfriend's son from going bonkers without seeing her. Let me just Say this so that as mean we can all be on the same page, you will never bang the passenger in my car for free when it's my car then turn around and tell me I have to pay for sex and give you a ride home. The guy you just banged for free better get you a ride home and if he's a good friend its a pretty good chance we are going to leave you where you are. I have never been the jealous type, not ever, because as the board says, Money is the worlds greatest aphrodisiac! I still have a minimum of 3 months here and I am wise enough to make sure I don't get myself in a situation that I cannot get myself out of. There's much more to the freebies for my girlfriend's son, but when I see you giving the honeycomb away for free, I quickly remove myself from the equation if I am not the one benefiting from the freebie. I never tried to date her and even now if I offered her some cash, she would get naked at the drop of a dime.

She is the kind of girl who has something to prove and I am at an age that I have nothing to prove. She stayed here at my place for 3 days. I now know that she was starving because my refrigerator was damn near bare right before she left and I just went and spent $450,000 pesos on groceries Sunday. After being her for 3 days and allowing my girlfriend's son to bang her for free, she called my girlfriend to the side and asked her could she loan her $60,000 pesos to pay the rent at her room because she had not worked for the past 3 days and the hotel would not allow her in her room until she paid. My girlfriend laughed and replied you knew my son had no money and no job and you stayed here and chose to not work, neither me or Pollo will give you a penny, you will have to pay your rent the best way you know how. When I tell you this girl is beautiful and banging, she is as hot as J-lo in her hay day, but the clock upstairs clearly does not keep time. Pollo Negro is out!

Great story Pollo!

Send her my way, I'll give her the 60 k and have some fun w her, and I could care less if she's bangin the pipsqweek guy for nada, LOL.

Glad you're enjoying yourself and keeping them straight!

Balboa out!

Thank you all for the advice. I tip the door-mans well when I stayed in Medellin for 3-4 weeks, it worked out great; but I can feel that I'm being marked by other residents, who are highly established professionals working in poblado. The door-mans try to distance themselves from me in the presence of other tenants, and it's awkward to check-in / out three or four 18-year-olds a day. If I do a six months stay in a penthouse where the girls have to go through every floor to get to me, there will be troubles after a month or two. This sounds like a first world problem, but it is a problem nonetheless. I probably will spend my first 3 weeks in a temporary Airbnb, and decide on a permanent place after carefully visiting and evaluating each candidates.

Last time I went to Colombia, i.e. last February, I bought some 15-20 boxes 4 x50mg from Genfar, that is one of the best local brands for generic drugs. The price was just a bit higher than yours, 6000-8000 for a box of 4, but sopposedly one of the best brands. I intended to bring to my home country (where prescription is needed, price is high...) a supply for a whole year of travels worldwide. Then COVID showed up in my country right after I flew back home. The expiration dates are in 2021 <gosh!> I am watching the boxes aging month after month.

This afternoon I was just down in my nearest parque principal to pay some bills at Gana and right across the street is a pharmacy, I paid 7. 900 pesos for 4 x 50 MG (brand is Genfar), which is roughly 2 mil for one 50 MG pill or a bit over. 50 cents per pill.

I have tried all the other brands and this Genfar gives me the least amount of headache, stomach ache and other after effects. Recommend this brand.

I saw the note about Viagra, just bought una cajita de 6 for 8 mil. Works Great!

It really depends on the Country and their urgency for tourists.

But there is an ocean between what you wish and what you can achieve. The problem is not only cost, but also the capacity to test. There is a maximum number of tests you can do in a country, which depends not only on how much the government has invested in equipment, reactants, and personnel, but also on how many of such it was capable to purchase and secure.

Industry is working at maximum pace to produce as much as they can, still they can fulfill only a limited amount of the demand. See this (I am not working with Abbott, but they were cited before and are one of the top suppliers): https://www.abbott.com/corpnewsroom/...9-testing.html.
In total, so far they have shipped some millions of tests in USA, and they are not selling outside USA because they give priority to their home government.
How could a country, especially if poor and focused on tourism, decide to allocate 50k-100k tests / day just for tourists intead of the local population?

Singapore is one of the best organized and richest countries in the world. Still they can afford no more than few thousands tests for inbound travellers, and no way the consider to open to short-time visitors still for a long time:
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapo...ay-home-notice
Before COVID, the number of passengers in Changi was 200k / day. If 50% is inbound, just to test them they would need 100k tests / day (and then you also need a place for quarantine).

I am very sorry to say this, but we must recognize that for the moment there is no light visible at the end of the tunnel. Wait and hope that the virus disappears, spontaneously, helped by social distancing, or by a vaccine found effective enough.

I told my favorita that it was disrespectful and that they would not get away with this at their casa. Their mamas would not permit it. So I basically banned my favorita from inviting anyone. And eventually, I stopped inviting the favorita over.

That is spot on. I had a long talk with the favorita who was bringing these girls to my place. At first it was fun, because I have lots of naked ass and tits in my jacuzzi. And they were fun girls. But the mess got old. I told my favorita that it was disrespectful and that they would not get away with this at their casa. Their mamas would not permit it. So I basically banned my favorita from inviting anyone. And eventually, I stopped inviting the favorita over.

Now I have another favorita. Just 18. I allowed her to bring over three friends once. The enjoyed the jacuzzi. They were respectful. They did not leave a mess (we eat pizza). But I am not surprised, because this favorita is respectful also. Depends on the chica and who they pass their time with.

Bottom line, I prefer to see chicas one-on-oone. Exception would be coming home from a bar or disco at night with a favorita and a drunk friend to bang.

Glad to see some really honest post about how lazy and unsanitary many of these chicas are who live here in Medellin. Out of respect for the anyone's place of living, don't allow them a free pass on their age, if you're nasty and unsanitary, you're just nasty and unsanitary. This is something that each individual monger has to decide If he can put up with, because I know I can't.

[PolloNegro]

Because she has sex w a young dude for free, you don't want her and she's worthless?

I'm guessing you tried to get her for free as well, and she wanted cash.

So what?

They're mostly all doing that.

Big deal.

They all fall in love with a dipshit at one time or another.

It's normal.

If she's truly a dime.

Relax, give her a few pesos and enjoy.

Or don't, and just be pissed off, LOL.

Never seen her in the park, but I see her daily now, behavior is a big deal with me, she's a dime, but not my dime, & a handful from what I've seen. My girl asked her to leave today, because of some household issues and now the house is all quiet and peaceful again. Pollo negro is out!

[Balboa]

It really depends on the Country and their urgency for tourists. Iceland is a perfect example, you show up, they test you, and if your negative your free to go. A few other Countries are following suit, with Greece having a test upon arrival and a mandated stay in a hotel for one night. It will be interesting to see how this works out in these Countries in the next few months as having a two week quarantine period regardless of testing is a tourism no go. Hopefully a testing on arrival without a quarantine period is on the horizon for entry into Colombia in the near future, only time will tell.

Of course we're all guessing.

Here's the latest on Spain.

I'm hoping to go in early July to see friends.

There are about 3-4 porteros in each building for all the shifts. The first time I see them, I tip them 10-20 mil. After that they are very helpful and generally over look my perceived moral transgressions. Even the female porteros. They seem to go out of their way to be helpful and protective of me. For my 2 week trip, I think the 50 to 80 mil is worth every peso. They will also take care of your deliveries etc. As an additional bonus LOL. Also, if a lot of girls are visiting you, don't hang out in public areas of the building for too long with the girls and also, if you are seen with the girls, don't act all squirlly, just act nonchalant and normal.

I have a similar situation going on in my place right now which involves under developed social skills. I have a chica who is living with me and my girlfriend. She is the girlfriend of the son of my girlfriend. This girl is absolutely beautiful, plain and simple a 9. 8 on the 10 scale, especially in looks and body. Put there is something about watching her have sex with my girlfriend's son for free and trying to get clients around the city to pay or dates. I am absolutely blown away by the fact that my girlfriend's son is totally dependent on the mother and gets free sex from a dime?

This behavior has shown me the pure disregard that many of these girls have for gringos. I have learned so much Colombian / Venezuelan culture and behavior since I arrived in March. I am very selective about who I allow to date me and who I now allow to even come close to me. The dime that is living with me and sexing my girlfriend's son, always has on skimpy clothes and tries to get my attention and boy is she a site to see, but I cannot get pass the fact that she has sex daily for free right before my eyes and therefore I would never pay her for a date. She has lost all value to me and the fact that I know that she has given sex to a kid for free, I will never pay her, period.

My girlfriend keeps her in check and does not allow her to get too far out of hand, makes her stay far away from me and truly there Is no need to keep her away from me, she Is worthless at this point to me even as beautiful as she may be. So not only in America but especially here in Medellin, women and being accepted trumps security and stability, I have seen it with my own two eyes. Pollo Negro is out!

A-fucking-men! I made the mistake of telling / showing Wifey that Tito's is way fucking better than Smirnoff. Thankfully, she's more of the, "I'll drink half a can of Smirnoff Ice and then leave it somewhere around the apartment" type. Also, Paisas don't know what Lululemon is, so no need to pay the markup. I checked, last night, after using Rappi: 18 beers for me - 41 k / 12 Smirnoff for her and the girls - 58 k. I'm not kidding, if they crack 10 of those in a night, there are 7 with more than 1/3 of the drink left. Candy wrappers everywhere. Pistachio shells hiding in every corner. I fucking can't stand it. Then, I realize why I'm banging 18 year olds and not parenting them. I'd be either gone or in prison!.
