Medellin Reports

[MoonShot]

I got caught up in the software issues affecting flights. The bad news is it wasn't my flight from Medellin to Florida but it was my flight from Florida to my home. If my flight was canceled in Medellin, that's not necessarily such a bad thing to have more time in Medellin. But now I'm stuck in Florida dealing with flight issues. If you were planning to fly to Medellin now, you may be disappointed.

They waved me over to the biometrics machines instead of seeing a human immigration officer. You scan your passport, look at the camera and it's done. Relatively quick. The security lines were also relatively quick. Total time for me from waiting to check in at the airline to waiting at the gate was about half an hour. Not bad at all.

So I did survive another trip without any druggings or robberies.

It was a good trip. I saw the type of girls that I wanted to see for the amount of money that I wanted to pay and I got the type of performance that I expected. All these factors are different for every guy. But if you could satisfy these three factors for yourself on a trip, whatever your criteria, it is a successful trip.

I will say an obvious point. My eighth trip was much better than my first trip. I have to laugh now at all the mistakes I made on my first trip. I think that will be the way it will be for most guys. Expect to make mistakes and learn from it.

Check my history. I post LONG reports every time I go anywhere, providing much useful and hopefully humorous information as well to those who would like it or want it.

There are many opinions floated here, most of dubious quality.

I asked for recent experiences on staying at Hotel Nutibara, got good info and posted an opinion, like many others. I did not "take" anything. This is an exchange of information between those who participate in the same activities. Go read my previous posts on Medellin, you may find something of value, or you may not. Either way, that's on you.

After my next visit I will surely post more of my el centro experiences, as that's my preferred area to play in Medellin. As I stated in my opinion you quoted below, there is no right way or wrong way to enjoy Medellin. Go, experience, find out what you like and do that. Don't worry about what someone else does or doesn't do, where they go, what they pay, etc. None of that matters. Do what you like in the way you like it. Period end of story.

Most of all, ENJOY Medellin because life's too short not to!

But then you turn right around and say screw everyone else.

You sound like a great guy and a fine human being.

It can be difficult because the menu is in Spanish or there is no menu and the guy is telling you menu in Spanish. Now in Poblado there are a number of places where some of the staff can speak English and there are English menus but you really let me think yourself if you just go to those places.

I would suggest learning some basics so you know the type of meat that you are eating. Words for chicken, pork, beef and fish are useful. Useful. That way you at least know what meat you are ordering. Take your time and use Google translate to be able to translate the menu and you should be fine.

Just tell the waiter that you need a little bit more time and then just point to the entree that you want.

It can be a little intimidating at first but after while you will be able to get by.

Believe it or not this was one of my worries when I first came to Medellin, would I be able to handle dining in a restaurant where no English is spoken? The answer turn out to be yes in most cases but with some difficulty. The good news is that with each subsequent trip, you start picking up more words on the menu and it just gets easier. Pollo is chicken, cerdo is pork, pescado is fish, and beef has a number of words, res, carne, bistec. Now you may not understand what dish you just ordered, but at least you know it's a chicken dish.

My default dish here is tacos. There are actually a lot of good Mexican taco places.

Simple solution. Get the WIFI password for the restaurant, and use Google translator. Use the camera function by holding it over the menu & it translates it for you. Took me a few trips to Colombia before someone showed me this.

The lines on a Monday afternoon were much shorter, only halfway between the bathroom and the immigration officials. I thought this is great but they were only three immigration officers working and so it still took about 1 hour. Now if the lines were beyond the bathroom as in the past, It would have been 2 hours. There are posters when you get off the plane and when an immigration telling you not to go with underage girls or you could be facing 25 years in jail. Not the most pleasant "Welcome to Medellin" greeting when you first arrive.

You got to prefer Thailand to Colombia. I remember in my first visit to Thailand many years ago the immigration official saying to me "So you like Thai girls, eh?" with a huge smile on his face before stamping my passport and sending me on my way.

There is a downside to colombianas en general; all women will always be ridiculously late. Another big downside is that 40% of them don't show up. It comes with the territory if you want to play with colombianas

Fixed that for you!

No response to my questions in general info so posting here. I tried finding the information and couldn't.

1) Are they still checking phones in immigration?

2) has anyone used an eSIM? I am thinking of getting a SIM from the airport. Is there a waiting period for the SIM to be active?

3) I am going to stay in a hotel in Poblado. The plan is to get 2 girls to the room everyday. We are there for 3 days. When I booked the room, I booked it for 2 guests. Will the hotel create a stink if I am getting multiple people? The hotel is Hampton inn in Poblado.

4) At this point I have lined up a bunch of dates with girls I have met on seeking. I don't fuck SW's or escorts. Just my thing.

Just my opinions.

1) Never had any immigration checks, or 2nd looks in MDE BOG or CAR. I do usually connect through BOG then MDE. The rare cases I hear were in MDE so maybe they're targeting those Florida direct incoming gringos. Funnily enough, 1 customs MDE agent was a working girl I've seen before.

2) Never changed my esim before but I see the value, but I'm too lazy to be arsed with that. I just do my darnedest to do every thing else "right".

3) Should've wrote that to the hotel beforehand, and discretely just say friends and that you're out there for a wedding or whatever. Plus there's the wildcard on who's on sight, make sure you establish a good, normal presence and rapport with security. Tipping goes a long way and make sure it's the same people.

4) Half my SWs or scorts have Seeking accounts, hybrid "semi pros". Had a couple quick sessions before they meet someone for a formal date. Just saying that the app / website doesn't guarantee their proclivities.

How do you guys use Facebook? Facebook dating or something??

[FFlintstone69]

No one should care how anyone else moves or enjoys Medellin. There are so many places to find girls, so many ways to move through the city, that it just shouldn't matter. Find what you enjoy, what works for you, and just do that.

Nothing else matters.

Enjoy it because life is too short not to!

My responses appear beneath your questions below.

No response to my questions in general info so posting here. I tried finding the information and couldn't.

1) Are they still checking phones in immigration?
This is not something that's ever happened to me but I am aware of the reports. Your question does not specify whether you are referring to Colombia immigration or your home country immigration. In either case, I don't believe you can rule out the possibility. My advice is to take steps so that it would not matter is your phone were inspected. I'm not involved of course but I must say your question strikes me as suspicious, so it's reasonable to assume trained investigators would pick up on the vibes.

2) has anyone used an eSIM? I am thinking of getting a SIM from the airport. Is there a waiting period for the SIM to be active?
I'm not sure what the waiting period for eSIM activation may be. I recommend you sort that out after you are settled in your hotel. There is free wifi at the airport you can use for uber/didi, whatsapp, wifi calling etc. You can even start working facebook if you want to get a head start. I think you will find it more convenient to deal with a wireless store where you won't be pestered by thirsty independent driver offers (don't accept such offers).

1. yes, not everyone of course.

2. I bought mine online while in the states and activated it once my boots were on the ground in Meddy, it worked fine.

3. Yes they will create more than a stink, it won't be allowed, just take them to a love motel they're cheap as hell. You should have asked about this prior to booking, duh.

I'm still working on building the patience it takes to sort through facebook.

There is a downside to Facebook girls. First, they do not live near where most guys stay. Most girls live in Bello which is about 30 minutes away but with traffic it can take longer. So unlike casas, night club girls and streetwalkers, you need to pay for their transportation so they can get to your hotel and you have to wait for their arrival.

Another downside is that due to traffic and just the general laissez-faire attitude of Latin America, most girls are going to be late. I've had a number of girls at the appointment time tell me that that they are getting ready to call the car right now. Now for me, 7:00 pm Appointment means that you are here at 7:00 pm Not that you are getting ready to go at 7:00 pm But that's just me.

Another big downside is that you're going to get girls who don't show up. You make an appointment. You confirm the appointment and then nothing. You send messages and there was no response. On this trip, it has happened twice to me and it's irritating but I always have a backup plan for this situation.

If these things are going to drive you crazy, Facebook Is not the way to go. Personal experience has taught me that it comes with the territory if you want to play with Facebook girls.

For me, the upside is worth the downside, but I can see that others would say no way.

Exactly what I pay and do except I don't do curvy. Only slim and petite. I run thru all their friends and family members that look decent. Facebook is the move. I don't do street meat ever. No need because there are literally more than 100 chics in my Facebook friends list that I haven't gotten to yet.
