Posts: 122Ferando Botero: Some Parting Words
Fernando Botero: Dead or Alive? If asked six months ago, I would have flunked the quiz, and was surprised to learn from this linked article that he just gave up the ghost in September. For those of you who speak / read Spanish with some fluency (especially the El Centro Rats who spend much of their waking hours loitering in the shadows of his rotund sculptures in the eponymous Plaza Botero), this interview with him (conducted shortly before his death) from today's Spanish edition of the Times, may be of interest.

I was told that you have to initially have to build the building to make it soundproof. I believe you have to have a double window (2 windows separated by air) to make it soundproof. The only / best place I know that has that is the Majestic Suites in Bangkok. The rooms that face busy Suk are quiet.

Posts: 5First Trip, need Help
Coming to Medellin for my first trip and do not speak Spanish. Friend was coming with that speaks it and been there before, but he had heart attack and can't come.
Could use a coach / mentor while there to help me learn mainly where to go and not go. Be glad to compensate for their time, or at least buy some meals and drinks.
Maybe someone very experience from US that could advise me some about spending 3/4 months year there during our winter months.
I have read a lot of information on here, but nothing like having an experienced and knowledgeable new friend to advise me.
Details;
73 year young, great health, good personality, know my time chasing "monky" is passing fast so have sense of urgency to get as much of it as I possibly can!
To hell with the kids inheritance, they would waste it anyway. LOL.
From Tennessee, spend 3/4 months Florida as snowbird, but getting so expensive there thinking of changing to Colombia.
Fly into Medellin next week on Spirit December 15 for 12 days. Yes we were planning a heck of a time, I can't get refund on tickets so I'm going make best of it as I can.
See this trip now mainly as; learning safe areas, common safety precautions, the culture, the people, the currency, or let me say things you had to learn the hard way.
Feel free to private message with any questions or ideas you may have.
Monky eye.

Posts: 4026I thought there might be an opening on the side of the museum again because I noticed the flow of pedestrian traffic was flowing in a way I had not seen since the barriers went up. I asked one of the merchants but he told me no. I'm glad he was wrong. Also new in the plaza is the opening of branches of three long time Provenza businesses, La Tasca Espanola, Bam Bam (hamburgers) and El Social (coming soon) in and near the former Tostao location. The owner of La Tasca is the head of the Provenza business owner association and the self appointed mayor of Provenza. I admire her tireless promotion of Medellin tourism. She famously put her foot down and demanded the authorities take action against the foreigner who paraded a scantily clad woman through Provenza on a leash with a dog collar attached to her neck. The foreigner was later deported.

Posts: 134Turkish citizen (39 yo) stabbed to death inside an apartment he rented in Laureles.
The criminals apparently intended to steal his belongings when he was with a woman inside the place where he was staying.
