Medellin Reports

[GeorgeCarta22]

You should be fine if you keep it on the low. Stick to casas, online or strip clubs.

One of the YouTuber Flyboy went live last night to give update on lleras and it seems like some or most businesses are back open again. Some girls are hanging around in Calle 10. Gusto's is back on business.

I know this is very unpopular opinion but I really enjoy gustos. I love the club atmosphere of picking up chicas.

I've offered her number to a few friends, but each time she wants to charge 300 k or more and has all kinds of rules.

Yeah man I felt terrible about that. She treated me well and tried to fuck over my buddy.

[InsolentSpike]

No problem bro. Sorry I blocked you last year.

No worries bro. I owe a lot of my success at Botero to you.

Child abuse committed by Colombians would be the equivalent of automobile accident deaths, something that happens several time a day every day.

It's still child abuse! Sad and perhaps true. I have heard and seen photos of 14 - 16 year olds doing that. Not knowing what I could do with the info. I asked not to be even shown the photos. Excuses about legality for marriage at 13. WTF? An inexcusable subject.

Yeah, I saw his video.

Full disclosure, I did not watch the youtube video mentioned. I actively avoid that sort of content because I find it neither informative nor entertaining. History shows online promotion helps no one other than the content creator using people's images to earn money based on clicks they are able to attract. It's one of several reasons I avoid places where they congregate. I am already spending more time than I want talking about this stuff with everyone who knows I live in Colombia. The last thing any of us needs is to have to explain why you appear in a video (background or foreground) with some guy talking about what goes on in Parque Lleras. ChinoSexo, I agree that it's a good idea to keep a low profile. I don't think it should take global media attention to remind us of that.

Agree 100%. The youtube creep cams and youtubers in general have contributed to the demise of places like Sosua, Medellin and Cartagena.

No one was kicking anyone out of the coffee shop. Protesting merchants were imploring the Pergamino store to shut its doors and join the protest.

Strange times.

I could be wrong. But they have been trying to clean up Lleras for years now. Especially the prostitution. It seemed like they're just harassing tourists because they don't want gringos there since gringos are the reason the locals price of living has inflated.

Gringos have nothing to do with locals cost of living. They are a drop in the bucket as far as the economy. Total tourism is not even much of a factor, and gringos are only a part of that.

The populace are upset with the sex tourism industry in a big way. And the politicians are listening. And acting. So the public sees male tourists to Colombia as depraved predators and politicians are doing something about it. A 6 month emergency order making prostitution illegal in certain areas is their response.

But there are others, especially in the affected areas, who see their businesses being destroyed if the tourists (non mongers as well as mongers) are chased away. Hence the protest by businesses. While this law does not target tourists at all really, it is in response to the perceptions around sex tourism, and so don't expect to be popular.

Wonder how the Lleras cleanup will impact casas like New Life and Energy plus clubs like La Isla and Loutron in terms of availability and rates. Any guesses?

I have been guilty of this too but we should focus on what is actually going on as opposed what I think may happen. What you think may happen is just mindless chit chat. What is actually happening is useful information. Instead of speculating, we just see what is happening in the next few weeks and some can report on the reality of the situation. I wouldn't panic over what may happen and just watch what is happening.

I agree with everything you said about Lleras and the cleanup efforts. The video in question however has been widely misrepresented. What really happened had nothing to do with the tourists. The protesting merchants were gesturing to the shop owners to shut their doors and join the protest March. Pergamino is not of course independently owned so it wasn't a choice the employees at the location could make.

A plumber has sunk costs and overhead and it is likely to cost him over $10 to even get to the job. All a chick with a pussy has to do is show up. Most of the time they even make you pay to get them there and back home. So the plumber has to subtract the cost of doing business from the $10 (which could easily be more than the $10 payment), while to the hooker the $10 is pure profit.

I agree. But. I have also learned that hooker math does not always make sense. Sometimes it works in my favor. Other times it does not.
