Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Plan77;2687311]First time visiting Medellin with bare bones knowledge of Spanish. I am planning to stay in St Peters apartment in Laureles, will be arriving at airport around 10 AM on a Sunday.

Would you advise me to book a cab with an English speaking driver beforehand or should I take the official taxi? Any idea how much it should cost to go to Laureles from airport?

How about currency exchange. I don't mind exchanging a small amount at airport but wonder if there are any currency exchanges within walking distance of St Peter's apartment suites that would be open on Sunday noon?

Can the experienced ones please advise?[/QUOTE]You can just take a regular taxi at the airport. 90-100 k to St Peters. Show him the address and it won't be an issue. If you're more comfortable with someone that speaks a bit of English, I've got a good guy if you want to DM me.

Also, there's a davienda bank / ATM about 4 blocks from St Peters on 70th that charges no fees. Just a $5 fee from your home branch or none depending on your bank. I've had taxis stop at specific ATMs on the way from the airport to avoid exchanging money at the airport.

Can't help with money exchange places cause I never used any. Always used Davienda or Scotiabank Colpatria ATM's.

[QUOTE=RacShack;2687317]Very very nice, and if you call them charging 150 k per girl, girl friendly kadoos good you![/QUOTE]If you are happy to spend over $200 a night to be in the very nice Charlie (and probably way overpaying for chias too), why would you care about the $37 chica fee?

Personally, I am happy with much cheaper, but nice enough hotels, girls, and chica fees, if any.

[QUOTE=Huacho;2687415]But in general, innumerate people tend to be poor negotiators.[/QUOTE]Good point and part of the reason is that they are thinking in US dollars and converting it to pesos (to offer) and then taking the peso counter-offer and trying to take it back into Dollars.

Right about the time they have it figured out and what they want to do. The girl has disappeared from their WhatsApp (or FB messenger). Why? Between the 'translator' and the higher mathematics the girl lost interest or received an offer from someone a little quicker and "poof" she was gone.

The parables here are:

1. Learn a little Spanish.

2. Learn the basic arithmetic of the country's currency.

[QUOTE=Sailor69;2687135]Moonlight is a flake. She agreed to meet. When she didn't show, I texted to ask where she was. She claimed that she was in a taxi, but traffic was bad. About an hour later she claimed that traffic was so bad she had to turn back and could not come.[/QUOTE]JjBee62 has recommended telling them 1/2 or 1 hour before you want them to show up. That works for most of them but what about the punctual ones? Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus. Meaning there are some that are very vigilant and will really show up on time or damn close to it. You may not be through eating or showering and it will be inconvenient if they show up early.

My suggestion. At least I've had some pretty good success with this technique. We agree on 200 + taxis (or whatever), then I tell her that if she arrives within 15 minutes of our appointment time she gets a 20 mil bonus. That is trivial to me (and almost everyone here) but it is a real motivator for many girls.

Sorry Sailor, I know you were talking about a flake situation, but I remembered I wanted to suggest something on improving timeliness and I had to get it written down before it evanesced from my aging brain.

Someone will wait for you with your name on a cardboard and driver will have a very nice and comfortable vehicle for same cost as taxi and knows where to go. The drivers are great guys too. Too easy and convenient especially for 1st timers. I use BBVA, no fees, for ATM and it's close too but only allows 300 mil withdrawal but you can do 2 or 3. Really don't need more unless you are a bigger spender.

Also another bank on LA 70 as you walk to LA 70 you will see a pharmacy next to it is another bank.

Hope this helps.

Sureman.

[QUOTE=Blurb123;2687411]Has anyone successfully scored a girl who sells content?

My experience is that most of them are only interested in selling content other trying to get you to send them money beforehand which is a stupid idea.[/QUOTE]Several of them. I'll be doing a few more next trip.

Most of the girls now selling content on Facebook were just selling pussy 2 years ago. Then the travel ban hit and there were no customers. So they started selling content or getting on TikTok or Bigo. Very few of them are selling enough to replace the P4 P income. If you let them know you're only interested in meeting and not buying videos, they'll either stop talking, or switch gears.

Many of the ones who only sell content, or require a deposit or purchase of content to set an appointment are guys selling some girls stuff.

[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2687450]I would consider booking ahead, one of those guys who holds up the sign with your name on it inside the airport. I think you pay ahead for those, too (I've done it, I just don't remember) and that would be you max convenience and ease, and they will also have your destination address ahead of time. This is also the most expensive option but the value is still worth it.

Or you can print the name and address of your destination address on a 3 x5 card or save it on your phone and show it to a yellow cab driver at the airport and they will put it in their phone GPS and get you there with the same result for around 100 mil COP +/- 20 mil COP ($21-$32 USD total) which is still an incredible value considering you will be taking a scenic taxi ride though the mountains that would cost you $75-$90 USD back here in the states.

If it were me, I would print the name and the address of St. Peters on a 3 x5 card and also write $100.000 COP (yes, with a period) or about $27 USD and you will have guys clamoring for your business at the airport. Actually, that's a lie if it were me I would be taking the bus but not for a first timer who doesn't speak Spanish.

At the airport, the last money exchange closest to the doors you go through after customs and before you get where the public (and taxi drivers) can wait for you inside the airport is a good place to exchange money. The other money exchange inside the airport charges more. Also, there are ATM's at the airport.

If you are asking about money exchange near your apartments then no offense, but you have not been reading this Forum. You will use an ATM and from where you are, walk along the main drag Avenida 70 back toward the metro station (South?) toward San Juan Blvid which is the closest major intersection, cross San Juan then cross Avenida 70, keep heading toward the metro station and after you go through one more stoplight you will see the Davienda ATM on your right..[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Taylor707;2687458]You can just take a regular taxi at the airport. 90-100 k to St Peters.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2687413]I have no experience with Fayboo chicas, and believe what your reporting.

But one would think that the "uglier" chicas perhaps should be better providers. Maybe it's because of the way Fayboo operates, with all the transactions / negotiations being arranged before meeting in person, hence once the deal is set, and the Chica shows up, it's difficult to abort the session without paying up. And I can see how some of the Fayboo Chicas when going with guys, just view it as a one time transaction, so could care less how it goes.

Again, I have no Fayboo experience, and maybe other board members here have encountered exactly the same thing as you, with the uglier Fayboo girls being the worst providers.

Contrary to this, I believe the opposite is true for the street scene, with the uglier girls being the better providers, and the dynamic as your aware is very different with everything face to face, and the uglier girls having to compete with the prettier ones on the street.[/QUOTE]Why on earth would anyone go through all the hassles, airports, masks, shoes off, immigration lines etc. To go overseas to fuck ugly women? And not only does he invite over a woman he considers ugly but he doesn't vette her in the least, and thus is stuck with all condom and an upcharge for kissing. Well he (FunLuvr) warned us about her, so all you guys into ugly women, take heed! I hope he didn't have to pay her too much to leave, but probably did as he didn't disclose the amount.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2687483]JjBee62 has recommended telling them 1/2 or 1 hour before you want them to show up. That works for most of them but what about the punctual ones?

My suggestion. At least I've had some pretty good success with this technique. We agree on 200 + taxis (or whatever), then I tell her that if she arrives within 15 minutes of our appointment time she gets a 20 mil bonus. That is trivial to me (and almost everyone here) but it is a real motivator for many girls.

Sorry Sailor, I know you were talking about a flake situation, but I remembered I wanted to suggest something on improving timeliness and I had to get it written down before it evanesced from my aging brain.[/QUOTE]100% success method for me is this: Tell them that you have plans at X time and if they don't arrive by Y time, you won't be able to see them. I do this whenever I need them to be on time and it has always worked.

OTOH if I'm not real-conscious, I just assume they'll be 30-60 minutes late.

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2687318]I contacted Giraldo Sara from Facebook Saturday to see if she was available. Being the day before Easter, I knew the pickings were slim. She agreed to come over Saturday night. She arrived a little late, but kept me informed. She is not attractive at all, but I was hoping her performance would make up for her looks. Big disappointment. A blow-up doll would have been better because it would have had a better attitude. She arrived and went straight to the bedroom and removed all her clothes. I didn't mind that because I was okay with a quickee. No foreplay, kissing with extra money (I refused). Then she wanted a condom for everything. When I tried to reason with her for oral without a condom, her only answer was "condom!". I quickly lost interest and paid her to leave. At least she didn't make a fuss about leaving, nor try to steal anything.

I have been with over 100 FB chicas, and only four have been a total disappointment. All four have been toward the bottom of the appearance scale. I think I have learned my lesson, no more ugly chicas.

In case there are more than one Giraldo Sara in Medellin on FB, she is the one with a lot of tattoos. Someone else's experience may be completely different, but I have a pretty good average of very good performance from Facebook chicas..[/QUOTE]I was with her about a year ago & had a pretty good time. I set the parameters of 200 k total with BBBJ & she agreed. She was a bit messed up on beer, rum & tussi but was a lot of fun. At times she tried to rush things but I laid down the law that I didn't care if someone was waiting for her, this was our date, it was my vacation, & we would take our time. I would not repeat with her but made the best of a tricky encounter.

[QUOTE=Combo;2687552]OTOH if I'm not real-conscious[/QUOTE]But is it really just as fun for you being semi-conscious? If it is, I'm impressed and I want some of what you're taking. Jeje.
