Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Manizales911;3058514]There are corrupt government officials in every government. Colombia has had my info for almost 20 years without issues. Calling Colombia a third world country shows your lack of knowledge of the country.[/QUOTE]I've never been in a car crash in my entire life, but I still wear my seatbelt. Just cause you haven't had issues in 20 years, doesn't mean people should not be cautious. If you wanna give your info, good for you, but there are absolutely different levels of corruption. You know nothing about me and I know way more than enough about Colombia to know I don't want them handling my financial info. Let everyone decide for themselves. Colombia is far from a safe haven. Go ahead and wear your rolex in the streets of Colombia. I'll keep mine safe at home.

[QUOTE=CatBert55;3058517]It's all political theater. Elections are coming at the end of May.[/QUOTE]100% . The police presence ebbs and flows with elections and public opinion on tourists. That has been my experience since 2014 or so. They've completely shutdown freelancers in Parque Lleras 2-3 x and the action just moved to Parque Poblado. This works until all of the Lleras businesses raise a ruckus due to fewer customers and then they re-open it.

[QUOTE=KnightCrawller;3058439]So I just wrapped my first visit to MDE a couple of weeks ago and am preparing a major report to share, but I wanted to drop a quick update that seems timely. In chatting with one of the ladies I met, I heard that in the last few days the city is majorly cracking down on everything happening around the Parque. I'm a first timer so I have no comparison but there was definitely a massive police presence there- yet it did nothing to deter the amazing time I had (more on that in a forthcoming report).

But anyways this lovely young woman with a perfect ass and beautiful pouty lips has told me it's been a huge deal, they're making all of the bars at the Parque that are known working girl spots to close down early, and apparently the rumor is that everything is to be shut down in the next couple of months. And girls are getting fined for propositioning people in the Parque itself.

Any of you old pros, expats, or general contrarians can feel free to take that with a grain of salt, but anyone who is reading this and itching to finally pull the trigger, I'd consider doing it sooner than later.[/QUOTE]That is one of the pluses of Facebook girls. Crackdowns on streetwalkers, bars and nightclubs doesn't really affect the girls from Facebook. It is always business as usual with Facebook girls.

[QUOTE=Degenerate24;3058610][URL]https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colombia-medellin-body-found-eric-gutierrez-molina-american-airlines/[/URL][/QUOTE]It's surprising how many of the victims in these types of things are Latinos (from the US or elsewhere).

[QUOTE=Combo;3058616]It's surprising how many of the victims in these types of things are Latinos (from the US or elsewhere).[/QUOTE]I thought about this same thing and wondered why. I think it's because they get too comfortable. You know, they speak the language and can blend in. But, they need to remember they are still an outsider and not one of them! Getting too comfortable and letting your guard down sets you up to get victimized.

[QUOTE=Combo;3058616]It's surprising how many of the victims in these types of things are Latinos (from the US or elsewhere).[/QUOTE]Probably from the over confidence of knowing the language and culture with the western upbringing and dollar.

The truth is very little is required. The US form 1040 without supporting schedules or documents. So the only information that you would be sharing is your 'social security number'. Not your bank accounts, not your place of employment, not your investment accounts, not your net worth.

Being cautious is prudent in any country. But despite your 'advice' I think most people are more likely to be scammed in the US vs a foreign country.

Enough that he starts thinking "nah, it won't happen to me" and then it does.

Also I'm pretty sure this kind of thing happens to Colombianos as well. Probably a lot more than to extranjeros but the media doesn't care about that.

Only country I have gotten in a vehicle with a stranger was in San Salvador, El Salvador to go to another titty bar. I would not do that in any other country and I bet some of these guys think because they speak the language it will be easier to get help.

[QUOTE=Degenerate24;3058610][URL]https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colombia-medellin-body-found-eric-gutierrez-molina-american-airlines/[/URL][/QUOTE]Seen some reports that theres a large police presence in Lleras, this headline won't help at all.

I mean, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place, the tourism money is huge but also can't be allowing Lleras to become a complete passportbro playground.

Headed there for work in a couple weeks but I'm staying in Laureles for 10 days. Might take a trip down to Poblado and see how things are looking.

I might pass through the park tonight after a party, depending on the weather.

[QUOTE=Degenerate24;3058610][URL]https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colombia-medellin-body-found-eric-gutierrez-molina-american-airlines/[/URL][/QUOTE]I wonder what he got into for this to happen to him. Dude was a flight attended so he wasn't a newbie, he was gay and in El Poblado.

[QUOTE=Combo;3058616]It's surprising how many of the victims in these types of things are Latinos (from the US or elsewhere).[/QUOTE]And gay as well. (His longtime partner, Ernesto Carranza, told CBS News). I know a gay cat who was in Arizona and went out with some people he thought he knew. He said that he had spent the previous Thanksgiving with them. Well anyway, he went out to a club with them and the next thing he knew he woke up in Denny's nekkit. The cops told him that kind of shit happens all the time (so it is not just Colombia) and to just be thankful that he is still alive. He was more so worried about what his dad was going to say, because it was not his first time fucking up and he had warned him many times before to cut the bullshit.

[QUOTE=MoonShot;3058255]Generally, massages from girls in casas are a waste of time. It is like getting a regular massage from someone who doesn't know how to give a regular massage. So it is not a good regular massage and it is not a sensual teasing massage. If you want a real massage, you should go to a professional and not expect a happy ending. If you want a sensual teasing massage that may end with a blowjob or regular sex, you need to go to a girl who specializes in such massages and she will know what to do.[/QUOTE]Yes, I'd say in the past decade it was less and less actually girls who knew how to give a massage. Most of the time now when you get a massage from them its so they can check their phone and give half ass massages that do nothing.

However if anyone wants a FANTASTIC massage girl peep Ailen! Top 5 massages in Medellin prob my #1 currently.
