I saw this sign in one of the public transportation buses in Medellin today. It basically says that it's not acceptable to be ogling the ladies. It doesn't say ladies, but I think that is implied. It...

They were closing at 4 am before the mayor changed it to 1 am. I only know when they used to close because my friend works until they close. I don't think I've ever been there past midnight.

I have a friend who works at one of the clubs near Parque Lleras. She said the clubs now stay open until 3 am.

Please use GeorgeCarta22's post as an example for how best to reply to a long post. It's annoying to have to scroll through a very long post that is re-posted. Plus, it's a waste of resources.

For years, I drank water from the taps in Medellin with no ill effects. Since my friend's daughter was weaned from breast milk, her favorite drink has been water. I always use bottled water now...

I should have been more descriptive. In his 30 minutes or so diatribe, about five minutes is a news event and the remaining is his same old alarmist babble.

I doubt he has ever been to Colombia. He doesn't know how to pronounce "el Poblado". I think he finds news articles and reads them on YouTube, while interjecting gloom and doom. I stopped watching...

Many of them, and also many business people in Colombia and Costa Rica, use an inverted theory of supply and demand. If supply stays the same and demand falls, then they have to charge more to make...

I don't think he is in Colombia. I read that the police released him and he immediately left the country. Of course, if they put him on Interpol, the places he can escape to are limited. My bet is...

Is anyone else receiving an unusually high number of friend requests from ladies on Facebook? Within the past week, I've received numerous requests every day. They appear to be legitimate ladies with...

Here's a link to some information about the creep with two girls (12 and 13 years old) that the mayor mentioned in that article....

Yes, it is commonly used in Medellin for a man's orgasm.

You don't speak for me. I'm glad there are no more of his posts.

Edit it after you post it. The auto-correct software doesn't change an edited report.

I use the buses to and from the airport almost every trip, usually five trips a year. The drop off area has always been safe, any time of day and night. I always get a taxi from the drop off spot....

There are supposedly three branches in Medellin. In el Centro at Cra 49 #50 - 23, in Poblado at Cra 43 A #16 Sur - 63, and in Laureles at Circular 73 be #76 - 16. I have used the one in Laureles...

Davivienda is still charging the 15 mil ATM fee. I think ElMechanio is confused. He said he received an exchange rate of 3836:1 at a Davivienda ATM. That was during the last week of January. The Visa...

Then the exchange rate you received at the ATM was more than 3836. I don't think the Visa Foreign Exchange Rate, which Schwab uses, has been under 3900 anytime this year.

It's been years since I've been to Ay Wey Bar, but the Medellin Sports Bar in Laureles will probably challenge it for the biggest Gringo Price Rip-off. The last time I was there, more than two years...

The closest station to New Life is Prado, but you should go from Parque Barrio station. Prado area is a little shady. It's approximately 10 blocks from Berrio station to New Life. The blocks around...

If you are outside Colombia, the days in-country reset on January 1. If you are in Colombia, they do not reset until you leave after January 1. There is no 180 days wait time unless you enter January...

I arrived at MDE tonight at about 8:15 on Copa. The line at immigration was approximately 70-80 people. It moved fairly fast. I was through it in about 20 minutes. The bags from my flight had already...

According to that article, he was Lithuanian.

It's strange that SureMan doesn't have any followup posts. Sounds like a hoax to me.

I always carry a knife with a 2 inch blade; not for protection, but for convenience when I need it for normal knife usage. I asked a local man about the laws and he said Colombia citizens are allowed...
