[QUOTE=Cassette;2930356]Can any one name the street he "accidentally" goes down at 06:09? Sounds like the kind of place I'd like to go during daylight hours.

[QUOTE=Nomars777;2930361]I know this isn't the hotel thread. That thread has almost zero action, so asking here instead, so as to distract from the PPP (price paid for pussy) debate that goes nowhere and yet is ever present.
I want to stay near to El Centro because I like the cheap girls, which are more than good enough for me. They allow for a lot of variety for little money, which is awesome, plus cheap food and drinks nearby, also of good enough quality.
So, I'm seriously debating staying at Nutibara because most of the complaints are about WiFi (don't care) and breakfast (also don't care). So if that's the only downsides and I'm across the street from Plaza Botero and all the action, it seems good.
That said, I do want a nice mattress and clean room, which Nutibara *seems* to have.
Anyone with recent experience at Hotel Nutibara that can give me their unvarnished opinion?
Thanks in advance!
Nomars777.[/QUOTE]I don't have recent info about the hotel but Hotel Nutibara is where I stayed during my very first trip to Medellin many years ago. I had previously been going to Cartagena so much and I wanted to change it up. Also if I'm correct, Hotel Nutibara was the very first hotel that was built in Medellin. A little history there. The rooms were nice and updated. Nice bed. Spacious floor plan. Ig I remember correctly I stayed on the 4th floor at the end of the hall facing the Metro tracks. There is a balcony at the end of hall where you can go outside and see things on the street. The breakfast is a typical light Colombian breakfast. The staff was friendly and the maid was a very sweet woman. I wasn't worried about wifi because I was hooked up with Claro. I don't remember if wifi was an issue. If you take the white bus from the airport it will drop you off right behind the hotel. You will be near Ground Zero and the are some casas within walking distance, ew Life being one of them. Just down from the hotel is Playmates, Faro, Monaco, Grill etc. That area gets very crowded during the day, especially under the Metro. You can find any and everything there. Traverse some streets and there are many options for shopping and food. I got a thing for the Papas Rellenos. Make sure you get in made fresh and not one that's been sitting under a heat lamp all day. Lots of Tinto Girls down there too. Head down near the Guadalupe church, walk down a little and hang a right at the corner.

There are a large number of girls on Facebook and the price varies. If you contact enough girls, you will find young attractive girls in your price range. That much I know from personal experience.
Some of the stuff I read here is amusing to read when I am not in Medellin. But when I am in Medellin, I just ignore it and just do what I do and try my best to have a good trip the way I like to do things. To each his own.
There are enough stories about druggings and robberies to keep me on alert everyday and with every girl. So far I haven't had any issues but I'm not going to be complacent.

Nomars777.[/QUOTE]I stayed there a few months ago. Ground zero for all the Centro action. Even the dumb taxi drivers know where it is. Rooms are good size and the in room safe can fit in a laptop. You can bring a girl in before 6 PM with no charge. After 6 I think it is around a 70 K fee.
This line had my cracking up: "Even the dumb taxi drivers know where it is!
I agree, taxistas can be super stupid sometimes. Not sure if it's intentional or just how they are. Then again, I've run across some really cool dudes, including the one last time who straight up told me he was a Tussi addict and drove just enough to get his money for his family and his fix. Great guy, I should've gotten his information. One of the nicest, cleanest taxis I'd been in, which for an addict was even more impressive.
Looking forward to Nutibara, booked it for night 1, then Factory Lofts for night 2, and Hotel Bolivariana for nights 3 and 4.
Should have a nice sampling then to know where to return later in the fall this year. .

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!

[QUOTE=MoonShot;2930358]I've mentioned prices in previous posts but I guess I can share the price range that I offer to girls on Facebook. I offer 200 mil plus taxi and they can choose to accept or counteroffer. I am willing to go to 250 mil if I I really like the girl and she agrees to all my terms. Transportation cost varies depending on where the girl lives generally can be anywhere from 15 mil to 30 mil. I usually pay the driver directly. I prefer girls who are 18 to 21 slim and petite but I like some curvy girls in the mix.
This is just what I do. This is what I personally am willing to pay. I am not saying this is the going rate or that most girls on Facebook will accept it.
Just sharing some information. Nothing more, nothing less.[/QUOTE]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.
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.
I'm still working on building the patience it takes to sort through facebook.

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2930716]I'm still working on building the patience it takes to sort through facebook.[/QUOTE]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.

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.

[QUOTE=Aaragon2022;2930710]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). [/QUOTE]
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.
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.
