Posts: 599Recommendations on a monger phone?
I'm diving into the Colombia scene. I know a lot of it is done by social media. Find one semi-pro and work your way into her crowd, right?
I probably don't want to use my real identity as I get into this scene though. For that, I'll need a new phone. Someone here suggested the BLU V81 V0630 WW. What other ones should I consider?
I've been thinking of just getting an old iphone 5's. It's cheap ($30), virtually disposable, and in the Apple ecosystem, which I'm more familiar with.
I monger in Europe and Canada, and it could be useful there for calling agencies and looking up information. Also a camera to take racy photos on and move to the cloud.
With a burner phone, no history to incriminate me when I cross borders either.
Your thoughts?

Right now I am in centro Santa Marta and a prime example of walking is I simply walked 4 hours today, sweat like a stuffed pig in roast as it is hot and humid but keep myself hydrated and honestly never felt better in my life.
And to The Don Carlos, great for you with shedding 20 pounds, keep it up.
The Tall Man.

During my year in Medellin I went from 260 down to 190. I'm a couple of inches shorter than TTM. Same recipe, I walked every day. First time I walked up the hill from Poblado metro station I had to stop twice and then rest for 20 minutes in Parque Poblado. By the time I left I could take that hill without breaking a sweat.
I need to go back for 6 months and get back to that.

Posts: 41Question about re-activating Sim card
Hi,
On my last trip, 2 years ago, I purchased a Claro sim card. I know that the number it was assigned would be deactivated. Can I use the Claro app to get a new number and package or do I have to visit a Claro store?

Regardless, I am sure you will have fun with it. Adds a new dimension to your encounters. Haha.
And no, I am not of Spanish descent. And no one of Spanish descent lives in my home country either.

Posts: 360Spanish speaking abilities
Having read umpteen years of reports on the Medellin board I'm wondering what percentage of punters speak serviceable Spanish. My interactions with fellow mongers in the Mansion over the years has led me to believe that almost none of the guys there spoke any. Other gringos I met in Lleras and other places spoke nary a word. One guy with a heavy southern accent told me he had been in Colombia for 25 years and didn't speak a lick (and had no intention of trying? Yet according to the reports, many guys roam at will, communicating, negotiating etc with the girls and having amazing experiences.
During the pandemic I took a Spanish language class over Zoom, 6 days a week from March to November when I finally tired of it. I'll probably book a trip to the Mansion in the next week or two and while far from fluent, I'm looking forward to a quantum improvement in my day to day communication with the citizens. I know what it was like to know only a little bit and it could be trying for both parties.
Or is that many of the punters here are Americans of Hispanic descent who are bilingual.

The 50 can be problematic as well but not to an extent. As I have learned the 20's are the way to go but it can be too much to carry.

Posts: 540Largest note is not 50 mil but 100 mil
Correction. Someone recently stated in the Medellin thread that the 50,000 bill is the largest. Nope. 100,000. I have seen 3 but not had one in my hands yet. I am surprised that one of the two week millionaires or guys living here never corrected it, but my Cheap Charlie ass knows of its existence.

Since March 31 of last year, the Banco de la Repblica put into circulation a first group of $ 100,000 bills. However, to this day the paper money that bears the image of former President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and the wax palm has been a ghost among Colombians' cash. *Surely, you are one of the majority group of those who have not seen them, which opens a discussion about whether it was a good idea or not to bring them to the market.
At the end of 2016, the Issuer reported that 44.2 million of these pieces were printed in its annual production, although it is a print run that was not released in its entirety to such an extent that, at present, there are only on the streets 5.2 million of these banknotes, that is 11%.
