I forgot to add that I'll be paying 35.000 per hour for a tutor, a little over $10.

First, I think anyone that says you don't need this or that is doing a disservice to mankind. Just because YOU are able to learn a language with a book or CD or whatever, doesn't mean that anyone...

I hope you are joking.

I moved to Medellin exactly a month ago and knew only basic Spanish. I enrolled in one of the better schools and have come a long way in 3 weeks.

Everyone learns...

OK guys, I give up. Help!

I'm mostly only into good massages with spectacular endings. Secret and Oriental Spa let me down sorely. Both were comparatively expensive 90.000 - 120.000 for an hour...

Recently retired and moved to Laureles. Mongering had little to do with my decision, but it surely played a part.

I finally had some time to partake in activities after a month of taking care of...

Oriental Spa? Thoughts? Anything else?

Thanks!

Your best friend is an ATM. USD is generally not accepted and exchanges give terrible rates. Read through the forum, lots more posts on this.

Dumbest post ever.

The thing that gave me pause was that you started regretting the trip the moment you got off the plane because the chicas in the DR airports were in more abundance than Medellin. Like, WTF! Not to...

Hey amigos, I'm coming next week for the primary purpose of securing a temporary apartment for May. I will be retiring in Medellin at that time.

If anyone wants to meet up, just holler.

Sure. I enlisted the help of an organization, Colombia Buddy. At first, I was suspicious but I've come to believe. They're geared to helping tourists, but will help anyone for any reason. I'm working...

I'm coming for 5 days in a few weeks for the purpose of finding an apartment rental for relocation in May. I'm looking for a temporary place that will allow me time to figure out exactly where I want...

I'm an avid cyclist and gave up my car for a bike. I live just outside NYC. Biking the streets is hazardous most everywhere though. I can't imagine navigating the streets of Medellin on bike,...

This post is directed to expats living in CO or knowledgeable about the subject. It has nothing to do with the theme of this board, sorry. I hesitate to get too personal, but screw it. For those that...

I know it's tedious, but I suggest you take a little time and go back a few months on this list. You will find the answers you're looking for. There are various options for areas and types of places...

Please don't mince words! -.

Why is every other post, or so it seems, about how much one is supposed to pay, bragging about how little one pays, blah blah?

Not to digress, but I had to change plans about going to MDE in...

While I'm here, I've been on Vane's whatsapp list for a couple of months now. I know it's a matter of taste, but I find the the vast majority of girls gross and wouldn't pay a peso for their company....

Your concerns remind me of my first trip outside the US and to Latin America a thousand years ago. I went to Rio. This was pre-Internet and I didn't have that to fall back on. I planned my first week...

That pretty much describes the body rubs in NYC. It generally includes sex and some places offer the option of nuru for additional $$.

Sorry, I guess I left out the emojis, it was meant to be funny. I was not meant to be a comic. I found the bickering about ratings to be amusing, hence the comment.

This rating chit chat is getting a bit pedantic. Perhaps we should change the 1 to 10 system to 1 to 100 with fractions carried out to 2 places?

Fees cost me a minor fortune on my last trip. I idiotically lost my bank ATM card. I left it in a ATM machine. My backup was American Express and a Visa credit card. In Colombia, you cannot get a...

I had to work and experiment with my profile several times before I started to get lots of responses. I still get responses now even though I'm back home and even though I removed all the Spanish...

$15? Do you get a bed? .

Details please. I need to change my trust-fund baby ways.
