Stupid shit in Medellin

[Paulie97]

but did ILoveit69 tell you he was hiding in the bushes watching me and other mongers talk in English before he would approach us? Fact is, when you're broke, unworthy and do not meet the social norms, you run and hide the way that this guy did.

Priceless.

I wasn't wearing the headphones. They were in my pocket and got them when they searched me. I don't mind being called stupid. And I guess I was for having my cell phone and wallet on me, as well for not calling a cab. But I saw these kids walking towards me and they didn't give off any vibe until they went into robber mode. They just got lucky to catch me walking during a break in traffic and took advantage.

As others have said, I only post to give you guys a heads up to keep your head on a swivel because things do seem a little crazier here around here on this trip. My girls are telling me to avoid centro at all costs for example.

But I think if you take cabs anytime you leave well populated areas, you should be fine. Still love this place and will be coming back.

They recently killed an American investor.

Check the news.

Well you agree? Really? This turd is a douchebag, what does that say about you?

I see ISG kinda like a bar, the admin is the bartender, if I was running this place I would throw both of you out, hes not describing me, but he might be describing a good portion of the board with his blanket insults, not unlike PN with his racist comments about European men.

Both have diarrhea of the mouth and the keyboard and should get cut off!!

Oddly enough, I have lived here in Medellin for about a year and a half and I find the PolloNegro and Osteoknot posts infinitely more useful to new members than yours. Their comments have the unmistakable.

Note of authenticity. Clearly both have spent a lot of time here. I can't say the same for anything you've written.

Did you forget you were in Colombia and not Hyde Park?

This is the new bread of mongers on the scene: walking around Colombia with Beats by Dre headphones on while checking sports scores on their Apple Watch. Smdh.

Check the original report and the guy never said he was wearing the headphones. And in fact he just confirmed that he wasn't, that they were in his pocket with his phone. But that's how misinformation spreads. One person misreads a report then others pile on based on the information. Basic reading comprehension skills are a valuable asset indeed. Wink.

With all of this knowledge on Colombia I would have thought he could have least spelled the name of the country correctly, just saying.

You are right, all of my advice should be ignored here due to typos. P.S. - the user's name is World Travel 69, not "world traveller" with two lls. Also, as long as we are at it: well when you ask a question, you should use a " not "thanks." I could keep going calling out spelling and grammar errors, but I proved my point. See how irritating it is when someone is a jerk about spelling and grammar on this site instead of just sharing advice in a kind way about fucking chicas? Guys. Seriously, it was a typo, get over it. The joke is done. All you will get by continuing this is discouraging people who want to actively contribute to this community by seeing how you treat contributors.

Hey folks, lots of questions / PMs since my last detailed reportso I thought I would share them with the group.

• Spanish - I have had a lot of folks ask me about best phrases. Sure, there are some phrases you could learn in Columbian slang, but just go and download DuoLingo, and give yourself 30 minutes a day of practice. For you guys in Columbia already, use your phone for a translator, but instead of showing it to the girl attempt to read it EVERY DAMN TIME, and yes, you will have horrid pronunciation at first. Yes, I know, it will be annoying, but they will help you, the girls actually think it's cute when a gringo tries to learn Spanish. Never copy and paste, use the translator, and then retype. Watch some movies you already know with Spanish audio... just get used to using it, and saying basic things to people in Spanish... you will be speaking Spanish in 4-5 weeks if you do this. Hit up amazing and buy some kid's workbooks - seriously, once your get over the learning curve with the genders and the tenses, it's not that difficult.

Anyhow the other day I couldn't find Sexy Fantasias inside Caracas Mall thingy. The description on the world traveller map says "On the second floor, across from the gym on the 2nd floor you will see a gate and a staircase, go up" so this is assuming you are already on the second floor? There was no way up to the second floor, there was a staircase that led to a barbers and another staircase with a shutter and then another with a gate, was that it? Can someone provide some more instruction, thanks. I sent them a what's app asking if they were operating and they said they were so I guess its still up and running but they did not seem to willing to help me find it.

My second choice was closed Club Paris, went by this twice on two separate afternoons, no bell no sign nothing. The door was locked shut. Went to club Amigas de sexy on 45, there also seems to be another listing on 58? Amigas on 45, friendly place but they only showed around 3-4 girls and they didn't look too great, one did but she was a bit miserable. I left, no charge for the presentation. Went back to my usual Dulce see, another awesome session.

Any more recommendations for casas?

Some people were asking about renting fincas outside of Medellin, I did it and it was fun but a lot of the towns are closed, meaning the airbnbs will not accept bookings or your booking could be cancelled due to covid measures or you may not be able to get a hotel.

Huston Texas. Jaja good one. Years back when I first started researching Colombia I spelled it with a you and I was quickly corrected by a senior member on CH. Get the tee shirt.
'Colombia with an-O' jaja.

I shot the photo of the hat at a shop of BOG airport, if I remember well. When I saw that hat, I immediately understood it was necessary to take a pic, as I would have felt the need to post it on ISG for the years to come.

PS: I have also used Google Maps to search where the hell was Parque "Poblano", if I missed it all these years.

You know how you know when somebody is from the UK? They say "Huston", "Los Angeleez", and "Alabamer" LOL! By the way, don't know why the auto-correct capitalizes "LOS". Not every use of it is about Thailand and the Land of Smiles.

[LatinaLover#1]

Lots of useful information provided. Appreciated. I suggest you link it in the RoD.
But you spent such a long time in Medellin, Bogota, Cartagena, and still did not learn that it they are not near Washington DC?? Please...!
First word to learn is Colombia. No need of a translator. When I travel to USA I am not welcome to write HUSTON, TX.

I wish the admin had not deleted part of my post, it would be a perfect reply to this. You are correct, there are some typos in my post. I will make an extra active effort to make sure that I type Colombia from now on.

Well-said, and accurate description.

I have been a Member on this board since 2005 and have got a lot of good info from others on here.

The Pollo guys stories have never seemed legit to me either. I call BS!

This guy, Loveit69, has met me, as well as other Mongers who were with me at the time that we met. He can tell you that I am much younger than him and younger than many on this board. He can tell you that I don't have to hide when I am in Centro. Why in the world would I have to fabricate a story to impress older European guys with less cash flow than myself? Make it make sense? I am younger, wealthier, nothing to hide, and you think my stories are BS? If I was older, around all of this young poon poon and everything that I was taught to believe about minorities happen to blow up right in my face, I would have to react the way that the self imposed kings of the world react when they are wrong. I would call Pollo a liar, I would say Pollo was fake, but did ILoveit69 tell you he was hiding in the bushes watching me and other mongers talk in English before he would approach us? Fact is, when you're broke, unworthy and do not meet the social norms, you run and hide the way that this guy did. But carry on, I fully understand what you feel like when you believe one thing and reality is another, this is my line of work and what I really get paid for, that mental health and instability is a beast! Pollo Negro is out!

[Silver Turtle]

Well-said, and accurate description.

Older dude, retirement age, getting by on social security, pot belly, bald, out-of-shape, bad teeth but dentures help. Didn't get laid enough in high-schood, did not know how to treat women then and still doesn't. Only difference, he discovered how to monger on a budget here and other developing areas of the world, and suddenly now he's an expert solely based on the experiences he has paying for sex. That's okay because this a a Web site about that subject. Put him in a social situation back in the states where he can't pay for play and he would strike-out, strike-out, and strike-out again.

I agree with your sentiment that if a guy goes to the trouble of posting something negative about the way another guy here rolls, most of the time it comes from an insecure need for self-vaildation. What other reason is there? Heck, I have half the frequent fliers here on my Ignore List. Not saying they are all bad dudes but the energy it takes to read their posts is not worth the information gained, overall. So the ony time I get exposed to their tripe is when a super-normal guy like you responds and their original post is included, jajaja.

My dad used to say, "What do you call an asshole when he turns 70?" Answer: An old asshole, jjajaa. There is no substitute for the experience of time, but just because a guy has put in the time and has hundreds or thousand of posts here doesn't exclude that he is just reinforcing ass-hole behaviors. I have learned so much from the good guys here and at the same time my Ingore List continues to expand. Ostee Out.

[Hunglow1625]

It is not whether you have taken many trips here, been here a long time, or post every day. It is more about telling the truth and giving correct information. Months ago you said someone showed you how to make all this money on the internet or home business or something. Then you rented a condo for 6 months or a year and furnished it. Then you were back in the states working making all this money. So many stories and most are complete BS.
