I'm heading to Medellin soon and wanted to get recommendations.
1- What should I be paying for taxi for chicas, they all want to add it to the quoted price but I have no idea how much I should be paying.
2- How much for tips? I'm assuming tips are not required but if I decide to, what is a recommended amount?
Thanks!
I am looking for some advice for a first timer to Medellin. I am considering staying at one of the mansions. My concern is safety. I read years ago Medellin used to be a dangerous place. Is there anything to be concerned about if I decide to venture out during the day? I know common sense applies.
I have been to Dominican republic and felt very safe in Sousa day and night. I'd also like to know for those of you who have been to Blackbeards is the mansion a similar environment? My Spanish is not that great, so not sure if that will cause any problems.
Thanks.
[QUOTE=SBTiger;2238526]They better be 10+ for that kind of a price.
Nonetheless, I will make it point, Not to go to this place.[/QUOTE]Well it's a more upscale club, plus 24 HR, FaseII is 190 k, La Isla is 300 k so not bad as the nicer clubs go, I spend most my time in the Centro clubs too though.
[QUOTE=TropicalDave;2238314]Does anyone have any good tips on message places? Looking for the ones with a little extra. MDE and surrounding areas welcome, private places too.[/QUOTE]What do you mean by "a little extra"? Energy is my favorite: Carrera 74 # 49-101. Great lineup and nice rooms, reasonably priced.
For that price you can go the facebook route. You have to leave yourself extra time because some of the facebook girls are not a punctual as we might like. For 150 k to 200 k they will usually hang around an hour or two depending on how you want to spend time in between the two pops you can get. One advantage is the facebook girls are heavily reviewed. Let us know how you make out.

[QUOTE=VickyRai;2238507]Does anybody know how to edit / delete your own report.
I tried report post option but seems like its not working. I waited almost 3 days now but the post has not been deleted. Can anybody help.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=JeraldoRivera;2238685]You guys ever take out the fb chicas or photoprepagos girls for drinks, dinner and sex? Idgaf about wasting money on hookers food and drinks as its fun to get out sometimes with a hottie. Maybe 2 to 4 hours and 1 shaggy time? Wonder how much y'all think is a fair rate for something like that for a girl that charges 150 k / HR for straight sex. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]Personally I never paid extra for that. I had a few meet me for drinks, sometimes dinner as well and once a movie, followed by usually 2 or 3 hours of in room fun. Paid all either 150 or 200 k, plus 20 k for taxi.
However, in most cases this was with women I had previous experience with. In the one exception I remember, I used meeting for drinks as a chance to pre-screen the girl.
I avoid women who charge by the hour, unless I'm going to a casa. I'd also avoid any arrangement where you're paying someone to eat, drink, dance or whatever with you. Most will be happy to do those things for free, as long as you're buying.
Which brings us to the disclaimer. Be wary of girls who want to bring along a sister, cousin or friends. You'll likely end up with a big bar bill and disappointment.

Thanks![/QUOTE]1. No more than 20 k for taxi.
2. 10 minutes or 20 k is sufficient, but not necessary.
[QUOTE=JjBee62;2238655]They probably won't delete your post unless it violates one of the rules.
For a short time after you write a post, there is an edit button at the bottom of the post. It's only available for a limited time. You can't delete a post.[/QUOTE]With edit you also get the delete option, so both only for limited time.

[QUOTE=BlueTouch;2238504]Except westernized areas and places, Colombians do not have the concept of tips. When you tip, it may just look foreign, or strange, behavior. Just imagine foreigners giving water to somebody's garden or giving tips to a college professor.[/QUOTE]So no tipping in bars restaurants?
[QUOTE=SBTiger;2238803]So the 50 k as popularly advertised is wrong? Or that is for the 5's?[/QUOTE]50 k is the standard 30 minute rate in most casas in El Centro. Most El Centro strip clubs charge 80 k for 30 minutes. Fase Dos charges 180 k for 45 minutes. I can't comment on Luna Lunera, but my understanding was that the rate was a 1 hour rate. That is comparable to Energy or Tantra in Laureles.
[QUOTE=SBTiger;2238805]So no tipping in bars restaurants?[/QUOTE]Most restaurants include a 10% tip on the bill. There's usually an explanation on the bill that the tip is voluntary. Quite often a waiter, when you ask for the check will ask of they should include service (servicio). They're asking if they should add the 10% tip.
Many bars will, if you're running a tab, also include the tip. However, if I spend a lot of time in a bar, I'll give the waitress a 5 k tip. This pays off. Service is better and some are interested in some after hours employment opportunities. Or they know someone who they think you'll like. If you're visiting just a few places, a couple dollars per visit can be a good investment.

Taxi. Take uber. It's illegal there so get in the front seat and pretend like you are getting picked up by a friend. Taxis will take you through traffic and out of the way.

Chicas - 30 k cop for street girls, 50 k for most casas (30 minutes), 150 k for strip clubs (1 hour? 150-250 k for facebook girls (1 hour, maybe the whole night? Some norm night clubs 250-300 k (1 hour).
Tips - [URL]http://www.whototip.net/tipping-in-colombia[/URL].
Tips for girls. I tipped 20 k at a casa they looked at me like I was crazy. I suggest just getting add ONS at the start like assuring you get BBBJ or even BBFS for an extra 50 k.
