Posts: 5430Cedulas..
Here are some pictures of a Colombian and a Venezuelan cedula. The Colombian is a composite showing front and back. The Venezuelan is just the front and part of that is cropped out. At the top should be 3 colored bars, yellow, blue and red.
First the Colombian cedula. Just below the title is the cedula number. The format is 1. 123.123. 123 I've got pictures of about a dozen cedulas and the first number is always a 1. I don't know if there are any valid cedulas which begin with any other number. Below that are the last names. Many Colombians have 2 last names, the last name of both the mother and father. Next line is for their first and middle name and the last line is for their signature. On the back you'll find the date of birth top left. Place of birth is to the right. The other information is when and where the cedula was applied for, blood type and height.
The Venezuelan cedula is simpler. Top center is the cedula number, 12.345. 678 is the format. Next are the last names, then first and middle name. In the middle: top left is birth date, top right is marital status, bottom left is issue date, bottom right is expiration date. It's good for 10 years.

When I see a post and it translates to boyfriend experience. What does that mean to most Colombia women? DFK, spending time with you, BBBJ, bareback?

I buy beautiful colorful 2 person hammocks for 45 k in Parque Bolivar during their craft fair, 1st weekend of every month. (lots of cool stuff there).
I buy 10 k Colombian soccer jerseys from a street vendor on the corner of Calle 52 & Carr 49. Next to Edificio Coltejer, the big white tall building- Go Atletico Nacional!
I get nice size Botero statues during the weekend from a little old lady under the Metro by Plaza Botero for 10 k. (not tiny ones either).
I always walk thru and buy some stuff at "Centro Artesanal Mi Viejo Pueblo" a large craft and souvenir mall Cra. 49 #53-20 on Junin Walking Street at the Parque Bolivar end.
I get some very nice Botero prints on canvas (30 k) from the corner souvenir shop next to Plaza Botero, corner of Carr 52 & Calle 52.

And for 20 k or less, they aren't going to last.

Try shoe alley in El Centro. Calle 47 between Carrera 52 and 53. You'll see why I call it shoe alley when you get there.

What are many of you buying in Medellin that is a good deal or is hard to find?
I'm thinking Amoxicillin at 2 k for 10- 500 MG tabs. Anyone know for a fact if there is a 50 pill personal exemption for this med?
Sildenafil at 4 k for a 4 pk of 50 MG tabs. Anyone declare and import 50 pills?
Lycra boxer shorts at 5 k ea.
Locally made knockoff tennis shoes 10-20 k Do they last?
Guava sweets and colombian candy.
Colombian sombrero 21 Vueltiao.
Coffee.

Posts: 153Rate a Colombian Ron
What is your favorite Colombian Ron and why?
Ron Medellin Extra Anejo 8 yr is my usual go-to Colombian Ron nice balanced anejo.
Ron Caldas I agree with some of colombianos and think this tastes like gasolina.
Ron Parce 8 yr REALLY like this stuff, but can be pricey and hard to find.
Ron Dictador haven't tried yet. Seems overly trendy.
Ron Hechicera haven't tried yet.
How do you usually drink your rum? Neat? Cuba Libre? Ron Medellin I can drink either neat or Cuba libre style. Coca-Cola and a lime slice please. Minimal regrets the next morning.

Posts: 1281Give a tip if you feel like it, but don't give an exorbitant one, it looks like a bribe.
If you're overly generous with a housekeeper she'll probably think you're trying to get extra services, and either be indignant or start negotiating with you!
DO NOT TIP TAXI DRIVERS IN Bogota! Really, don't even take them if you can avoid it at all!!

I do tip the housekeeper if I'm staying in a hotel. I end up with a dozen fluffy towels instead of the 3 regular ones I would get.
