Posts: 60Worst Case Scenario
Anyone here or know anyone who is a non speaker and straight up got robbed? What do you even do if you are alone, no ID, phone, since all of your stuff was in a hotel room that you may or may not even have directions to anymore.

I personally think it's just a lack of experience. Once you start coming down here more and more over the years you get used to everything and you know to decline the ATM conversion rate. However, a first time visitor who has never seen it before, maybe he wouldn't know to decline it because it's something he's never done before.
It's kinda like when you're buying an airplane ticket online and they ask you if you want all the bullshit extras like priority bording or travel insurance and you have to make sure you check no.

If you're still using the card with ATM fees then just select other amount and enter 1,980,000 instead of 2,000,000 or 980,000 instead of 1,000,000 and you will get 4 20 K bills right away.
One more time reminder for new members. ALWAYS decline conversion at ATM!

Posts: 4034I think there are two reasons it happens. One reason is ignorance about what conversion rate means and what better rate is available. The other reason is inattention. I once ripped myself off by accepting the conversion rate without meaning to accept it because I had been drinking. Drunk banking is not a good practice.

Posts: 334Last ATM post, I promise
Ok, this will be the last ATM post until I get foto evidence of the ATMs asking me if I am ok with the Transaction fee on my next trip.
I asked the question earlier and it was never answered, probably because it was buried in the middle of the post.
Here is the question again:
Why would anyone on the face of the planet accept the banks conversion rate?

You can consider taking the street Cr 49 to the park, turn to CL 54. Don't go toward west if you don't know what you are doing. The middle and the east side of the park are better than the west side of the park.
There are many restaurants on Cr 49. You can pick a 2nd floor one and have lunch and people watch. There are also several well-known restaurants. One is Versalles which is an old school type of restaurant that is rare in Medellin but common in Buenos Aires that may be interesting to you.
There is an university on CL 56 before you reach New Life. There are many decent small local Colombian restaurants that you can try. You can have breakfast or lunch there if you want to experience some local life style and food.

I suggest you shower at your house or hotel room beforehand. Never shower once with the girl unless if you are both showering at the same time and even then never let her get out of the shower before you do. Always keep an eye on her constantly.
It is much easier just to not shower. Most girls use baby wipes to clean themselves before and after sessions they call them pañitos and this is much better than showering. And if the girl asks you to shower, this is a red flag because she wants to go thru your pockets. Just tell her you already just showered right before you left your place because you have a ducha eléctrica and don't like to shower with cold water.
