Help Disco is still open.
I was there two weeks ago.
God only knows when it will close, if at all.

[QUOTE=Mr Tango]Okay, so I'll be down there around Halloween and I hear Mangoes is the place to be for the costume party. Does everyone dress for this or do only Gringos participate and local guys look on? Any ex-pats in need of someone to shop up some costumes for them on our way down? By the way if you guys haven't seen the hotties at the nightclub scene check out the Colombian version of Napkin Nights called Pegateya.com. I'd say Carnival at Mangoes is probably the wildest! There are some outrageously gorgeous women on the site and it sealed the deal for my upcoming visit to Colombia!
Also wondering about what camera to bring. I prefer my SLR because of how sharp the images are but with the recent crime described here I'm wondering if I should bring a smaller camera. I've got a Canon Elf but is so soft on the image focus. Am considering picking up a G11 (about the size of a handycam) as my G3 used to take great shots. Thoughts anyone? Does Mangos allow cameras/camcorders inside? Most of the stuff I see on YouTube looks like it's from a cell phone.
I'm also thinking of trying to improve my Spanish and have been looking at language schools. Can anyone recommend a school offering short term instruction? I would be great if they also taught English to cute Paisas that I might be able to meet for. ONS, SLR, LTR, friendship etc. Yeah, sorry I'm more of a part time monger. Getting too old and tend to agree with Gregg that there comes a time in life where you slow down and just want to have something real. Something stable. Someone to talk to, to share thoughts with. Okay I'll stop because I'm making the hard core mongers I'll. Sorry.
So I've read the forum on where to go to find my fun with prepagos. But may I ask where would one go to meet regular ladies (non prepagos) that might be interested in an LTR with an asian gringo if I were the right man. Meaning no insult to these places but do places like MM, Executive Hotel, VIP ect have a reputation in Medellin? That is if I were staying at one of these mongering hot spots, would I lose credibility with regular ladies?[/QUOTE]First thing, bring a camera that you can make disappear into your pocket or you may find it disappear from you. Plus dude don't be an Asian guy dragging around some huge SLR around your neck!!! I've worked very hard in my life to stomp out the "Classic Asian Stereotype".
You gotta step you Hablando Espanol game up bro....if you want to meet a normal girls it's just like in America
1. Be handsome or Rich
2. Funny and Charming does not hurt either.
3. Cool and Fun
4. Speak Spanish
5. Spend Money
6. Complements
Girls are all the same and want the same thing. Make the smart ones feel pretty and the pretty ones feel smart.
Bro. The mall is a great place to pick up girls. Well for me it is, I'm young by mongering standards (30) but with my superior Asian genetics I look early 20's I've been told. So I don't look like some old pervert leering at 18-19 year old girls. Find a bar and get known, go enough times where the staff gets to know what you drink, what you eat, chat them up, ask them about their lives. Make friends!
This is what I've done before here is the US and in Peru and Argentina and it worked for me. My SA no pro-count is like 15 in 4.5 months
Oh, and buy a cell phone. This is very important when trying to have friends and any sort of interaction with a non-pro.
Hope this helped
[QUOTE=MiamiHeatLuver]I know many Colombians who don't want anything to do with Asians and they are all lumped together as "chino" whether they be from Cambodian, Chinese, jap, korean. Its all the same shit to them. Alot of those looks I'm sure were like WTF are YOU doing here rather than "OH wow, you are so cool, I'm so eager to meet and talk to you! " LOL It all comes down to personality and gift of gab.[/QUOTE]Being a any minority has it's pros and cons; Granted. Some chicks just are not "in to" black guys, Jewish guys, Asian guys.
Like MHeat said it comes down to what the kids now a days call "swagger".
Do need a visa to go to Brazil. The visa is good for 90 days and expires if unused (so don't go shopping for a visa too far in advance). If you use the visa within the 90 days it is good for 5 years.
This info was as of 2004, my last visit, they also fingerprinted US Citizens only because we did it to the world.
[QUOTE=Frank Casio]Hi Mackin,
But did they close the Help Discoteque with the two thousand girls ? If they closed it, I would have to re-think it. Itīs going to be hell getting around there with all the re-building. And somebody told me you needed a visa to go to Brazil, is that true?
Frank Casio![/QUOTE]
I've known them persosnally for the last 7 years and I have dated Diana for a few months about 5 years ago, been away with Alejandra's family to Armenia, had them perform at the Mansion about 5 times and never in my time have I seen or heard of any of them been prepago's, I think Medellin Bob even dated a couple of them to.
In fact they were training at El Castillo yesterday as we have a large room with mirrows.
Paola even clled me from her hospital bed a few times after her boyfriend aranged a hit on her in a publick bus, put 2 bullets holes in her knee capps, she ended up marrying him.
There was one dancer who wanted sex with me one night as I was really drunk, but he was male! Anyway, somebody saved me.

QUOTE=Tummysangs]Does anyone know if the dancers from mangoes are available for take out? If yes what are the prices. I remember last time one of the waiters at Mangoes mentioning that it was possible but never went ahead with it.
Thanks[/QUOTE]

Just read what I wrote and I butchered the language a little. Sorry for that and that you could read it. If you are from the USA You need a visa. If I remember correctly it is about 85.00 USA Been a few years so can't say exactly. Don't know about other countries.
Asians, we have many guests here at the Mansion who are asian and my first wife was half Chineess and half Vietmanies.
Remines me of a family story.
My uncle was a prisnor of war under the japonnes for 4 and a half years, the family thought he was died after being taken prisoner with the fall of Sinapore.
Anyway, two days out of Perth on a hospital ship the family was told he was alive and would be traveling down to Pemberton in a week or so by train.
My father, other uncles and sisters (who were quiet small at the time) were told by my grandmother to look around the house and pick out every thing thats asian, put it in a plastic bag, take out the back and bury it in a hole.
Anyway uncle Jack arrives home, looks like a dingo who's had dierrea, worms etc, ect for the last 4 and a half years.
He's sitting at the dinner table and my gandmothers says to him, Jack what would you like to eat, pumkin soap and then roast beef Maum.
After that, my grandmother says, Jack what would you like to have for sweets! "desert" ooh mum, I'd love some of your "rice pudding".
If your americian, you probley won't get it.

They're initial reaction was "Japon." I don't know what kind of Colombians you know, but I also met lots of amigos of my amiga and they've been real nice offering me drinks and whatever.
I actually saw a Korean dude cleaning up the rooms at Optiosis strip club. I thought he was Chino but he spoke spanish and said he was from Korea.. with good spanish too. LOL

[QUOTE=Hioctane]From guys that's been there, I hear that it is true that you will need a visa for Brazil.[/QUOTE]I lived in Rio for 3 years and now live in Medellin. If you are a US Citizen and have a US Passport you "definitely" need a Visa to enter Brazil. Lately they have been issuing them for 5 years but depends on the Brazilian Consulate and how they feel that day? Also if you are planning on entering Brazil and you have been in Colombia make sure you have a Yellow Fever Certificate.
Canadians absolutely need a visa to go to Brasil. Have one in my passport. Also for US citizens. The interesting part is that for Canadians the visa is exactly 1/2 the cost for Americans. Does that mean they think we are half as rich, or half as stupid? No se.
Hey if anyone is from Southern California and fly's out to Colombia send me a PM, I have a couple questions.
Thanks
