Thanks to everyone who commented on the safety of El Centro.
Sorry if I caused arguments.
Say I did stay in El Poblado near the Santa Fe mall for example, how much is a taxi to and from the casa's in El Centro going to cost me? Read online is should be around 10 dollar's each way, that will soon add up.
Is it possible to use public transport without being fluent?
Sorry for all the questions.
Gents,
I echo those who advise both caution and encouragement re: Medellin. You should feel encouraged to visit. But you should always be cautious as a foreigner. Especially in a place like Medellin with evolving political / social norms. Your goal should be to go under-the-radar wherever you are. That means: dressing modestly and in-line w / the locals (save the flashy, trendy designer clothes for Miami or NYC) - don't go out wearing Prada sunglasses, blinged out watches, and snap-chatting on an iPhone X in el centro. Regardless of what time it is (but if you do this at night. You're tempting fate).
A lot of people get in trouble for not exercising common sense: they get a little too confident which leads to arrogance and start having el jefe fantasies where they feel like they are untouchable. You're very touchable, and just one wrong move from getting into a predicament where you bite off more than you can chew. You should also know that it's distasteful to overtly gawk and approach younger local women if you're an older gringo. It's frowned upon by the locals and you're putting a target on your back. Unless you're a veteran and have years under your belt in Medellin. Keep it simple: Be tasteful, be discreet, respect the local culture, stay low-key and abide by the local laws, always.

Sorry for all the questions.[/QUOTE]A taxi from Santa Fe to downtown is about 10, but not 10 dollars. It's 10 mil COP, which is less than $3. 50.
You don't need to know any Spanish to use the Metro. From Santa Fe, you can walk to the Aguacatala station during the day. The Metro tickets are less than 3 mil. Go to the ticket booth and tell the agent "dos", or hold up two fingers. Give them 10 mil and they will give you a card that looks similar to a credit card, and your change from the 10 mil. Go to the turnstile and hold your card in front of the reader, then go through the turnstile. If you only have one trip left on your card, you must put it in a slot reader instead of holding it in front of the reader. Once through the turnstile, you have two choices, Niquia or La Estrella. You want to go towards Niquia. Get off at the Parque Berrio stop. When returning to Santa Fe, go towards La Estrella. Using the buses is a little more difficult because you must figure out what bus to get on. If you can find the correct bus, then get on and pay the driver. I think the fare on most routes now is 2100 COP. There is an oval sticker on the windshield listing the fare.
Damn, so I been having a bad streek and ususally its never this many in a row.
I guess I'm down cause my real novia and I ended it. SHe wanted it more then me but she is depressive and suicidial so many its for the best.
Anyway, I been trying to lock down this one chica I saw in an add for a week. She is located in Laurlres. Fianlly she responds and gives me the addy.
I get there, she is a smoke stack! About 5 5, super flacka but with nice bolt on tits that aren't too big but she has really really nice nipples. The type that are a bit long but not freeksly. She has a booty to that is real. If I had to describe her I would say she is like a slightly darker version of the Pornstar Shy Love. She is super playful, speaks a lilttle bit of english but is cool. She starts getting into me. Very very light kissing. But its cool. She does oral naturale for a propina. Its realy nice. Perfect ball play. I really enjoyed it. Rubber goes on, she gets ontop. Tight, and hot. I have to get to her slow down so I don't pop too song. I get on top next and I really love the grip of her tits. They are like a bit seperated but smaller then the average implant but still I love to grip on her nipples and fuck her. We do doggy she puts it back into me and then I flip her for sideways doggy. This is where the real fun happeneds. I start to rub on her clit a little and she laughs and giggles. In spanish she is telling me its her job and not important for her to cum. I play more but she doesn't cum but its still fun. I ask her where she wants my cum and before I can finish my scentence she says "tetas?" Perfecta. She rubs really nice and slow and I shoot an 8 ropper of custard. She laughs at how much there is. I get her personal whatsapp and name. She is going to come over later this week and ill cook and fuck her todo la noche for a small price.
Have fun guys!
First day in Medellin. I'll write a report later. How does it work with street hookers in centro? I saw a really hot one but I chicked out.
Is it possible to make it happen if you don't speak Spanish? Where would I take her? Or do they know where to go?
[QUOTE=BlueChange;2178113]Times are changing but the weird part is the increase in violence lately. The security right now might be for chicas but just look. A building in Laurles that rents to foreigners was shot up last month!
Imagine being security for that shit!

Thank you, very helpful.
[QUOTE=Wolf662;2177779]I have one posted in the MED Hotel thread attached to my review of the hotel Botero, but the website reduces the size, if it is hard to read, PM me a email and I will send you the full size one. Here it is again.
Safest hours are between 10 a and 4 p, later it gets the more drunk locals you get.
On my map the top left block is Raudal, less girls but usually hotter ones, 50-80 k, lower left is the block behind the VeraCruz church, it is the busiest one, girls start at 30 k and will be very close to a short term hotel they will take you too. If they look young make sure you card them, the young ones hang out there on the corner, "Cedula por favor" (ID) Make sure they are 18+.
Lower right around Bolivar park ignore, mostly not females.[/QUOTE]

Not sure how it would work with out some Spanish. I suppose you could write down numbers or use google translate but you will look like a fish out of water. With no Spanish I would stick to the casa's and strip clubs, that would be safer, a gringo with no Spanish on the street scream's "Papaya" (fruit to be plucked in Colombian slang).

No spanish? Wish you luck.
Chickened out? You sound like an incident waiting to happen!
Went to New Life today. I was very disappointed. I thought I would find 8's and 9's. I found 5's and 6's.

Perhaps this guy could carry some flash cards with translations of what he wanted such as sexo oral sin condom.
I actually saw a guy with flash cards who didn't speak any Spanish in Tijuana once and it appeared to be quite effective for him but of course El Centro is very different indeed.

I did it in Vietnam (at night in an area that most here would be petrified to go to - and of course I was not "blending in") and I can't even say hello in Vietnamese. Pussy and money are universal languages.

And as your aware besides French more English is spoken in Vietnam than in Colombia.
