Posts: 68Two types of Castellano / Spanish in Medellin.
The middle-class and upper-class are easy to understand in Medellin. But not the Castellano / Spanish spoken by the people from the poor barrios. It's like two different languages. I had a "monitor" at La Liga de tenis at the big Stadium in Estadio, a student. I could not understand what he said, he was from Santo Domingo, a very poor barrio,(also knew for it's futuristic library, Bibiotecta Española, inaugurated by King Juan Carlos himself). After tennis-classes I went to La UPB for Spanish-classes and one day I told my teacher that I did not understand my tennis-trainer. "Nor, do I, he replied".
Many prepagos are from those poor barrios while your Paisa-friends are more likely to be from the well-off barrios like Laureles, Poblado etc.

Looked like a Wild West saloon.
Bunch of drunk young colombianos, and some scattered chicas about.
Don't know the name, but I'm sure a taxi will know it.

Posts: 387I've heard there is a brothel and / or a night club in Rio Negro, but I've never been and don't know the hours. Perhaps you can ask a cab to take you somewhere close? They've been relatively honest and trustworthy in my opinion although I wouldn't drag my bags all over.

Next time plan your travel and stay at least a few days.

Personally don't think it is enough time. 5 hours is pushing it with the distance to / from Medellín and passing through security again.

Posts: 21Lay Over in Medellin
Hi,
I will have a short lay over in Medellin (midnight to 5).
Any ideas / suggestions for a short mongering adventure?

I used to live in Caracas. Before the dick nose Chavez came to power.
I agree with you though, that lots of Venies in Colombia now are more educated than the average street Colombiana.
They may individually be easier to understand due to their education, however, Venezuelan spanish in general is harder to understand.

I am getting deaf but, even when I could hear, I found it hard to understand Venezuelans because they shorten every word. Also, they "debuccalize" (take the sound out of the mouth and move it to the throat) consonants, e. g. , este become ehte. I've always had trouble with Spanish in Venezuela (esp Isla Margarita).
