I put this in Cartagena forum because it's true
What's up bros chiming in from Medellin right now my flight leaves Friday I have been in Medellin for two weeks and this past weekend I was in Cartagena. I don't know if it was from being in Medellin a whole week before I went but Cartagena was overwhelming for one reason. The most and worst thing (I was already warned) is the begging not just vendors but every damn soul in Cartagena. There is not one moment of peace outside of your place that you choose to stay. Getsemani, Clock Tower, the beach, any and every street you walk on day or night it is no peace at all! You can't enjoy yourself because of all the damn begging, the city is beautiful and has all the potential in the world of one of the best places on earth to go but I was completely turned off the entire time I was there. I went to centro both nights Delerium (however you spell it) it was no better 50 million beautiful girls I could not even just chill and pick what I wanted. Little kids not just 3 or 4 like 30 coming up to you and saying "bruh I am hungry" and will not leave you the fuck alone. I asked them all where is your mother at and all of a sudden here comes woman with little infants to help the little kids beg. It is 2 and 3 in the fucking morning bro no CAP shit is crazy. It's girls there man and to each his own but I have been with many chicas in Medellin and walked all over these streets and not saying no one will not ask you for money but it is one or two here and there which is cool. I don't want to shit on the city man the girls are beautiful but they became secondary with all the other bullshit Cartagena offered me. I walked out of the tourist area and walked all over Cartagena the last day I was there and not one person begged me for anything for those 5 or 6 hours I had peace in that city. I am just writing what I experienced it don't mean nothing to the next man. I said I will go again maybe next time will be better. FYI My apartment was guest friendly but I was so exhausted from battling with the begging folks and and vendors I did not even get a chica in Cartagena. Medellin has by far made up for it. That is just my interpretation of the situation.
