You must be an ophan. Otherwise your mother would have told you it was better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and demonstrate it beyond any doubt whatsoever.

I will quote you MoonShot because you are succinct in your responses. I would add: it helps to be freshly showered and well soaped in the crevices. Brush your teeth and buy a bottle of Listerine. It...

Our good friend and underground reporter Osteoknot shared an idea that hasn't been mentioned. If you book your hotels or apartments with booking.com and have some level of history with them you can...

I can hardly imagine paying a taxi driver with a 50 mil bill either. If you go from Nequi in Bello to La Estrella, I doubt you would get a fare up to 50 mil. Not really the point though. People with...

How in the world did a taxi driver give you a 50,000 (50 mil) note? What did you give him? The 100 mil note didn't come out until 2016. No one in their right mind should give a taxi driver a 100 mil...

You might just walk into a branch take a number and wait your turn and the bank will gladly turn your 100 K or 50 K bills into 20 Ks or 10 Ks.

Did you write this on Wednesday, Feb 14th? If so, it was Ash Wednesday which is a Catholic day that recognizes the start of lent.

Very good point and an embarrassing pitfall to avoid. We could also distinguish "A ella, me gusta" vs "A ella, me cae bien" but I doubt anyone here knows. Or cares.

"I'll be there early next week, will gladly meet you anywhere you like, and I'll even buy the beer. " and there were others.

His posts were removed at his own...

I don't think you understood the point. No puedo esperar means I can't wait.

The app doesn't know that you are using an English idiom. The way to express your excitement is to say "Estoy...

Your best course is to speak Spanish at least at a conversational level. But, that isn't going to be possible for you this trip. Just remember something about Google Translate. Don't try to be clever...

I use DiDi and have never had a bad experience. I also have no qualms about grabbing a taxi if it is more convenient.

Gee Paulie why is it then that you send me messages every so often wanting to meet? You always say I should not be friends with this one or that one. But you see Paulie, those guys are much smarter...

Actually I have had my share of disagreements with Gabacho but at least he is trying to help people here in the forum. You posted some comments that were flat out wrong. But I think we all get it....

DESERVE might have been a rather strong choice of words but his point isn't far off. It is Darwinian natural selection in our modern world. People who come to Colombia to monger or do drugs without...

You should practice your manners, especially with people here on the forum who have spent far more time in country than you have. I don't doubt that you spoke to Colombian officials BUT:

1. You...

Yeah I read that on GringoPaisa (a Facebook group) I listened to the video and didn't hear anything remotely like what was said on that page. I heard lots of gasps and screams but not anyone urging...

Yeah, like New Orleans in July. Uggga Muggga.

I moved into an apartment over a year ago but I suppose you were too busy arguing with other members to catch that. And don't worry about me getting zipped up in a bag. Although I do appreciate the...

With respect, the inability to communicate easily in Spanish does not "exponentially" increase your chances of being a victim. I think it is something different, a lack of understanding the culture,...

I would say they are basically equivalent. The risk of getting drugged and / or robbed is proportional to your level of common sense. You won't get drugged like in a movie. You get drugged when...

You've had only TWO true friends in your life? That isn't fortunate, that is sad.

Medellin didn't even make the top 50.

I could not agree with you more. As a young teenager growing up on a farm in New Mexico there were illegals coming up from Mexico to work. There were all sorts of derogatory names people called them....
