You want 'quizás te encuentro' and you don't use un with otro; it's included. Otro means both 'other' and 'another. ' Therefore 'un otro' and 'una otra' would be redundant.

Or, "Would you like to be my girlfriend for two hours?" You can use whatever number for the hours that fits the situation. I use it anywhere, anytime.
If they say yes, you will get laid. Delivery is key. If you look or sound like a lecherous serial axe murderer, then don't expect results, jajja. I've never had anyone get pissed or upset but of course I've had some rejections. If you have fear of rejection, then don't try it. When she says yes, have a specific plan in mind for the follow up right then and there. Seize the moment. Fuck her in the next 30 minutes or that night at the latest before you lose momentum.
I should not share this pearl because if it gets too widely used I believe it will lose effectiveness. However, I love you guys and I will simply think of a new and better line. Jajajajjaa, let's Keep On Keepin' On, together.

Just ask her "Que quieres hacer conmigo?" What do you want to do with me? You'll get an answer that indicates her interest.

I really like them and the local teams shirts like AN (Atltico Nacional) will gets you lots of thumbs up in bars. Although I did have some awkward moments in Barra Ejecutiva with some drunk guys asking me who my fav player was. I rolled the dice and said "Juan". LOL.
Anywho I have found the cheapest place to buy them last time I was in town was a street vendor on the corner of Calle 50 and Car 49 (Junin) for 10 k.
I did have more of them but US GF's keep taking them. LOL.
The 2 on the left though I got in Costa Rica, Deportivo Saprissa and LDA (Liga Deportiva Alajuelense). 2 of my favs when I was growing up in CR as a kid.

Posts: 101Drug Prices
I bought my pharmacy meds in Poblado and was wondering if the pharmacies overcharge since they know the tourists are abundant in the area. Everything from Ibuprofen to Pepto Bismol was overpriced. I also bought some generic Cialis and some Colombian Modafinil. I can say that the Modafinil was either fake or seriously under dosed because I did not feel a thing from it. I cannot recall the price on them but the name on the box was Vigia 200 MG. I only bought them because when I asked for Adderall they said that in Colombia they don't sell that kind of stuff. The generic Cialis seemed to work. I usually bring along my OTC drugs with me but on this trip I ran out! Where do you seasoned vets buy your meds in Medellin? I usually don't care if prices are a little higher than normal but as an example I was sold 600 MG tabs of Ibuprofen at about 2 k a piece. Outrageous but I was desperate and did not care at the time.

I have no idea about the skull. But speaking of tattoos has anyone on here gotten a tattoo in Medellin? I am wondering who some of the best artists in the area are and pricing.

Posts: 72Chit Chat Topics
Here are some of my chit chat thoughts from my recent trip. A lot of this will sound obvious to the regulars, but this is geared more for newbies since I was just a newbie myself.
- Learn spanish. If you are planning to come to Medellin. I would plan the trip at least 6 months from now and spend the time learning spanish if you don't know any. It's also a good investment in time and effort if you ever plan to go to other spanish-speaking counties in the future. I have only basic spanish, but it really helped. I can only imagine how difficult it would be here to have no spanish.
- ATMs. My card didn't work at Banco de Bogota ATMs, but it worked at others. If your transaction doesn't go through, don't panic. Try some other banks. Also, I found that the transactions went through easier if I just pressed one of the pre-selected amounts. When I tried to do a custom amount, it would often not go through. Although I wanted to take out more money at a time, the most I could take out at once was 780,000. Most ATMs the limit was 600,000.
- Know the precise location if you are going to visit a casa. They do not have signs out front. You need to know ahead of time the exact building you are going to. If you think you can just go the the approximate location and find it by walking around, you are mistaken.
- Credit cards. At some places they will try to charge you in US dollars on the credit card machine, when they do this they use a slightly worse rate than the going rate. This actually only amounts to pennies when paying for a meal at a restaurant, so no big deal. But at my hotel, when paying for 9 nights I saved some decent money by having him re-do the transaction in pesos instead of dollars.
- Cabs. Cabs are super cheap and plentiful all over town. I was surprised how many cab drivers didn't really know where they were going though. I had to pull up directions on my phone and help them get there quite a few times. The subway is cheap, and I found it to be a fun way to kind of tour the city and interact with the people. But for practical purposes as far as getting anywhere, I would just cab or uber. I just rode the subway and metro cable as a tourist thing to do.

Posts: 72Coming this Friday
I'm less than a week away from coming to Medellin for the first time. This might sound like a stupid question but, I was told exchanging money in the airport is a ripoff. There is an ATM right next to my hotel, and I plan to use my bank card in the ATMs for the best rate. My question is how do I pay for my taxi from the airport? Do they take credit cards? And if I remember correctly, I think I read it is not customary to tip taxi drivers in Colombia. Is that right? What about tipping in restaurants now that I think about it? Thanks.

I've traded FX and interest rates most of my life, though I'm still not sure I'd call myself an expert!
BTW -- USD, SF, and JPY are the "safe-haven" currencies.
