Medellin Reports

[Osteoknot]

You might want to work on your instinctc.

Yeah, I often ignore my first and even second instincts, to stay out of trouble. Legal entanglements in any foreign country can quickly become a nightmare. When folks post, "Don't carry more money than you can afford to get stolen," here it should really be "Carry enough money so you can pay off the Police." They will simply remove it from your wallet, you don't have to say anything. I recommend not less than 300 mil COP for a Gringo.

But I got an offer for you. I will pay all your expenses for a trip to Philadelphia as long as you go to the neighborhood I designate (nothing racial) and use the term "Philly" at least 20 times, jajajaja. You won't come out if you don't stop after they warn you. Meddy sounds stupid.

I know many like to plan ahead. I only plan one girl the day I'm about to board the plane.

But when you plan ahead more than 50% of the time it won't work out and meanwhile mostly it'll be your time that's wasted.

Unless the plan involves someone picking me up at the airport, I don't even go that far. There are a few girls I'll let know when I'm arriving, but that's it. I also tell them "if I have time."

I had one girl who was upset this last time because my illness kept me from seeing her. She told me she wasn't worried about getting sick and still wanted to come over.

Plan where you're going to stay, figure out what source you're going to use to get laid. Everything else is best left until you're checked in.

I have a question whose answer hopefully should prove of interest to increasing numbers of BMs who, like me, will have shortly received the magical 2 shot vaccination and plan ASAP thereafter to hop on a plane back to Medellin, El Ciudad de Eterna Primavera (and, more importantly, de Eterna Panocha as well). THE QUESTION. Has anyone seen anything official as to whether Colombian immigration will accept some certified Proof of Vaccination in lieu of the required PCR test? And ditto for anyone entering (returning) to the USofA.

I hope that this post doesn't prompt a deserved RTFF riposte from JjBee or others. I do recall a week or so back someone on this thread pondering whether the vaccination document that he had received was formal enough (e. G. It lacked official letterhead) to pass muster with immigration officers. The document I will receive here in New Jersey is an index-sized card that, in the upper corner, does have the official logos of the US Department of Health and Human Services and of the Center for Communicable Diseases (CDC) --so perhaps that is the standard certification document to be used throughout the US. It also has the dates of each of the two vaccinations, initialed by a representative from the organization operating the vaccination facility.

It's a good and valid question. To the best of my knowledge, Colombia has issued nothing official about accepting a vaccination card in lieu of a PCR test. My gut tells me they won't anytime in the immediate future.

I am totally lost. Do you know this chick or not? You were talking about buying pets together and shit and now it is she may be scared to hook up with you as if you have never met each other. And weren't you the one first ghosting her because you were too busy with other chicks?

That is why I do not notify anyone I am coming to town. I pop up and say I am here and if they want to get together we can get together. All that planning and anticipation and shit is for the birds. Just go with the flow once boots are on the ground.

Obviously You Haven't Read All My Posts. Don't expect you to pay close attention as some have, but the answers are all there. I have said at least twice I avoid planning whenever possible. And I admitted to being guilty of over planning in this instance. I didn't ghost her, I did as you suggested and came to town without telling her. Then when I told her I was here, she stood me up, twice. She's not even in Medellin. I have known her for almost two years, and spent about six months with her on my first trip here in 2019. I met her in a non -pro setting like I have talked about many times, by walking up to who I thought was a regular girl and try to make a connection. When I left here the first time it was supposed to be for three weeks, COVID hit, ten months later I am back. Before I left we were planning on living together. I never thought Cat Girl was a hooker, can't prove she wasn't.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I get that a lot, that I seem to have been here longer. This is my second trip. I met a mongerer who had been to Medellin at least ten times and divorced his wife so he could keep coming. He took me under his wing the first week I was here. After four weeks he told me there was nothing more he could teach me. Also, as I have said before, I have mongered on 6 continents, and gotten laid on all seven, which has to confer some experience. I maxed out my visa and extension first trip so I must've been here six months, right? I have time dyslexia. The system works. Girls 1-3 still fuck for "free" and I defined free before. With Cat Girl out of the picture, some of the other girls are vying for Numero Uno. I've also wrote about at least 3 girls to whom I gave money during the COVID crisis, who avoided me this trip, and I have listed a Disclaimer at least twice that I don't recommend anyone prepay. But my dollar cost averaging overall is below what the going rate is per girl.

I am honest to a fault, including admitting my mistakes if others might learn from them. I appreciate the feedback. Some of it I probably needed to hear. But I wouldn't change a thing in the last couple of years of my life. Any inconsistencies which by the way you did NOT find, are purely unintentional and probably drug related, jajajaja.

No regrets. Check that. Only regret is that I didn't start sooner. GI Jane on her way over now. Soft Swirl was here all day. Cat Girl as you mentioned Mr. E has been burning up my WhatsApp and telephone all day but I have not said a word. Also, so there is no misunderstanding, I am a sarcastic, attention whoring, asshole, jaja. Ostee Out.

Well, things did not go as planned which is why I try to avoid making plans whenever possible. I am not sure if Cat Girl is ghosting me but she is acting like she doesn't want to see me. I guesstimate 50% she wants to take the money I have recently deposited in her bank account and cut and run; 50% she is scared at the prospect of hooking up with a monger, getting used up, and abandoned.

So it's a bit better in medellin. This is a national curfew. Quintero is lobbying for no more curfew for medellin. So we'll see how that goes.

But Biden is trying to get 10 day quarantines upon return.

Yes, it's problematic and being studied by his advisors with some recommendations from them I believe next week. It would be a boner killer for International travel, and begs the question how they would enforce it. Hopefully they will come up with an alternative to this and they are also looking at land crossings as well into the USA from Mexico / Canada.

[Sangnyc21]

The curfews and weekend lockdowns are all very doable, however if the CO government in the future instigates quarantines for new arrivals, besides the testing requirement, this will be very discouraging as far as I am concerned.

[Mr Enternational]

My bank does that, within limits, I think it's five foreign transactions per month. Once a month they credit my account.

I had $147 taken out in December when I used the ATM but it did not give me money and $149 returned returned today. The ATM fee is not what I am talking about. Yes my bank returns those; unlimited as far as I know.

Thank you jb.

I detected a note of sarcasm there. Actually you should thank Nounce because he went to the trouble to find and link the posts.

You're welcome.

There has been a lot of discussion about this. I thought I would add my personal experience. Consider it my 2 cents.

Most of us agree that the CO government rules are beyond stupid and not based on any science but is what it is. This forum is not about debating that.

I have make 4 trips to MDE since October and they had some form of lockdown when I was there. I do a PCR test when I go in so there is no quarantine for me. I have had almost no issues finding dates. Girls don't care. I mainly use FB and rarely casas like Energy with friends. Of course if you are depending on clubs exclusively, it will have some impact but overall, I would not discourage anyone from going due to restrictions.

After several years reading this forum, I would say that most of us are not qualified to make any type of scientific determination. However, what the Colombian government is doing is quite simple and as someone who has made so many trips to Colombia, you should be able to see it.

Although you can find a party any night in Medellin, the weekends are the time when everyone gets together for a good time. Figure at least 100 night clubs with an average of 200 people on a Saturday night. That alone could lead to 1,000 new infections in the following 10 days. Those 1,000 have families. 1,000 becomes 10,000, becomes 30,000. Now add in Friday night, and Sunday night if Monday is a holiday. Now start adding weekends.

So they put in a midnight curfew, which cuts it down a little bit. Then they do full lockdowns on some weekends, which cuts it down a bit more. On top of that, they require testing and-or quarantine. This discourages some people from traveling, the weekend curfews discourage more people from traveling. They know they can't stop the bleeding, but they are hoping to slow it down.

For the rest of your posts, that's a good assessment. Facebook is mostly unaffected and casas and strip clubs are options, but if you're going for the night life and hoping to pick up girls in the discos, your options are limited.

I agree. I have a trip booked in about 3 weeks. .. I will be vaccinated and have had a PCR test. There's no way that I'm going to quarantine under those circumstances. The only thing that gives me some comfort is that the UK strain has been known about for a long time and so far there have not been any quarantines imposed as far as I know for even travelers from the UK.

If you meet the testing requirement for entry no quarantine is required.

If someone says "Meddy" to me, my first instinct will be to slap them in the face

Deal with it.

You might want to work on your instincts.

It's unlikely anyone visiting Medellin is going to call it "Meddy", unless they have a difficult time pronouncing the double ell sound, which is pronounced different in different Spanish speaking countries. I ran into a similar issue my first visit to Bogota. The girl was talking about a guy I know of named Xavier. I pronounce that Havier, but she kept saying "Chavi. " Nobody did any slapping.

My ex-roommate used to pronounce the "ed" at the end of English words, such as "work-ed", again, slapping was not required.

If I was getting bored of the working girl scene, I'd start moving into the non-pro action. Hit the estrato 4 barrios where gringos don't go. Visit restaurants, bars and stores, strike up some conversations and show some patience. I've seen enough to know that there are options available.

If it's just a desire to bang hostel patrons, take up backpacking. It's a cheap way to see the country and you get to meet the girls too. Start in Medellin and let the people you meet guide you to the next destination. If you're just a guy trying to hook up, you're going to have a lot of younger competition. If you're a guy wanting to find the perfect hot springs to watch a meteor shower in, you're going to get a lot more interest.
