Yes I was in Col for 6 weeks and they are very very nice people, I felt genuinely liked by them and I genuinely liked them in return.

Even if I didn't like the p4 p I'm sure I would still return to visit.

I really need to see the rest of SA (Lima Santiago Argentina Brasil Montevideo Caracas) Punta Del Este anyone??

It depresses me to think about Nana on a Friday or Sat night, I sure hope it survives the Chinese / CCP virus.

Post-script.

Business class to BKK= very smart monger!

The office of the mayor of Medellin sponsored a day long cultural event in Plaza Botero. While crawling along my usual paths yesterday I was struck by the high quantity of civilians and the higher than normal quantity of providers. Many of the regulars were forced behind and alongside the church because more than half the plaza was blocked by stages and lighting platforms. A small orchestra and several other bands performed. An artist created a large chalk drawing in the open area between the museum and the Palacio de la Cultura. The weather was pleasant. I can confirm Surfer's observations about the sheer number of girls out, including some new faces. I expect it will be even more noticeable when the stage and performance equipment are gone.

Nice sized balcony, jacuzzi just off the balcony, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths. It's in a quiet, safe area at the south end of Envigado. I think it cost me about $60 per night.

The other downside, at least for you, is the lack of security. There is a locked door at the entrance to the building and you can buzz in any guests (which beats going down and back up the stairs). For me, I preferred that because at one point I had 4 girls come over to hangout and eat pizza. Would have sucked to have a security guard tell me I could only have 1 or 2 at a time.

It's listed as La Esencia apartment on Booking.

I will look into it.

Found another good option on Air bnb.

Torn on how important security is in the building for me.

You do not want to get on the bad side of Colombians. They play hardball, as do Mexicans.

No 100 dollars = 380,000 at the current rate and that should be enough to get the taxi ride and a few necessities, even if you arrive late and don't want to visit an ATM in the dark hours.

How is knowledge of Spanish more of a concern for you than knowledge of Asian languages? Is English more widely spoken in places you frequent in Asia than it is in Colombia?

In any case I spent 6 weeks in Col and I like it, I love Asians P4P scene and the putas there but if it doesn't reopen for another year or doesn't rebound for a few years, I won't be that upset.

Asia is a very long flight, and I am not a big fan of the jungle heat and humidity 24/7 or the monster cockroaches and monster sized rats.

Colombia is good, its not perfect, my biggest issue is the espanol, not sure how easily I can pick up a new language at my age?

I think you missed your flight in June (6), LOL.

Wanted to know if anyone can recommend few more places other than the usual (New life, energy, loutron, fas dos, la lsia, barra ejecutiva, etc).

I know World 69 map has most of places but any feedback will be appreciated.

And, is there other club other than Gusto that have working girls are available around Parque Lleras?

Read post where some beer club might have some but wanted to confirm.

Will be in Medellin next week so feel free to shoot me a message if anyone wants to grab a beer and try few places.

It's convenient to have a few pesos on hand so you can proceed out of the terminal immediately after you clear customs but $100 in pesos is more than I think anyone needs. The bus into town costs 13,000 pesos. There is free WIFI in the airport. You can use it to order an uber, Didi, or yellow taxi (Coopebombas), all of which accept charge cards. All that aside, the central question I have is what would prevent anyone from using one of the 10 or so ATM machines that are available 24/7 in the terminal?

Well you could go to "Real City Tours" and take the walking tour which is all in the El Centro area. They have other tours as well.

https://realcitytours.com

They have a guide and you will be in a group of some number of people. The tour is in English. You will spend about 4 hours going through the downtown area and learning a lot about the history of Medellin. Best of all they don't charge for the tour but at the end they will ask for a "donation" and I think everyone gives 25-30 mil. I found it interesting and well worth the investment in time and the very inexpensive cost.

I remember the first time I saw a little bag of water in Medellin, and thinking how strange.

Very safe indeed, Coca Cola has a big market share of the bagged water market in Colombia.

As long as you stay safe, no one else gets hurt, and you can look in the mirror and honestly feel no regrets, then it's all good. Have fun.

Guys here usually say never send a chica money. I took a chance one time and sent a little honey 150 mil COP, a measly 40 bucks. In hindsight, I believe she was telling the truth because no asks for such a small amount of money if they are running a scam. The real reason I believed her, the payoff was there when I flew to see her a week later in Bogota, and her gratefulness was worth five times more than the 150 mil COP I fronted her, and she was one of the hottest chicas I ever banged in my life.
