It happens brotha.
Nothing against my fellow gringos, it's just better when it's not overrun.

Posts: 309Yeah, you're right. But it's holiday season, so sharing is caring. When I'm in Medellin, I go where the gringos don't, it's much better and funner that way. Shit, the last couple yrs all these YouTubers hyping up Medellin like it's paradise (which it is), and enticing these newbies that don't appreciate the culture or try to learn the language, but it's all good. They do them, I do me. We most likely won't cross paths.
Man, I do miss Brazil. So Paulo was my favorite, I hit up all the high end clubs and made Scandallo my second home for straight up a week. I def went over budget and loved it.

So just offering to take them to a nice restaurant or to help out with some bills will get you places you never thought existed. Start by getting their WhatsApp and gently guide the conversation in that direction.
Credit to RiceRocket for bring this area to people's attention. Bello=opportunity.

Our buddy Surfer went on and on about "ground zero" and now it's "ground gringo".
Not his fault, he was reporting as we do, however, that's what happens.
The You Tube morons show up. LOL.
I've found a few new places, though in Brazil, I'm keeping mum.

Davienda doesn't charge a fee. Can't tell you about max withdrawals because it seems to vary. The La 70 and Unicentro branches allow a 2 million withdrawal in a single transaction but other locations have different limits.
Servibanca charges a fee but I can't recal what it is. Something like 12 mil with a 1 million max withdrawal.
Banco Pinchincha doesn't charge a fee with an 800 mil max withdrawal.
Things change so if anyone sees something different, please keep the world updated.

Posts: 645Medellin after 2.5 year back
Arrived from Manizales with bus it takes around 5. 5 hours with all road works on the way. Take a taxi from bus terminal to hotel nutibara it was fully booked no rooms walk to hotel Normandia this hotel is gone for now they doing some construction works inside (pity I would be happy to stay close to Botero plaza) check on booking and see hotel ayenda 1246 3 h close to centro comercial el punto have some rooms decided to walk here. When I come around 3 pm many people was inside waiting for check in. I ask do they have the rooms the guy ask me do I have reservation I said no. He told me to sit and wait till other people finish check in. When all people finish check in its almost one hour gone. I went to reception and ask do they have rooms again the girl told me they don't have only with reservation. She makes me angry I start to shout and said so why you didn't tell me before I was waiting here almost one hour for nothing. I said this guy told me to wait here and now you telling me its no room. They start to talk something between each other and start to look into computer and ask for how long I want stay? I said for 3 days (I was thinking its will be hard to find another better hotel on weekend if I check out tomorrow better stay till Monday). They give me room with jacuzzi inside the room for 85 k per night, but this hotel is noisy all sides of hotels faces main street with a lot of traffic even I am at 11 floor still plenty of noise, also WIFI not secured and weak, so I have 3 days to find something better as I plan to stay el centro 2 weeks or up to 1 month if I like and not get bored. At 6 pm walk to see how is street life in plaza Botero was plenty girls around I like at least 2 or 3 of them after make my way to Veracruz also was busy with girls see few cute ones. As I was tired after bus trip so didn't take any girls nowhere to rush will have time for all of them.
P. S Anyone can recommend me a quiet hotel with fast WIFI between 60-100 k per night or some Airbnb at all centro or close to it like up to 1 km around from plaza Botero? Or anyone for a meeting to check some casas or street girls or have some beer give me a shout.

Rice rocket.
Is that area and the southern end of metro line A dangerous at night?
Too late this time but may be next.

I wear shorts all the time, usually loud ones. I also wear flip flops, and I don't give a fck if I stand out like a sore thumb. Which if you knew my height, I really can't avoid. I think the extra attention works in my favour. I have never experienced a disadvantage of not dressing or looking like a local in Colombia. Quite the opposite. For example, the police tend to give you a wide berth.
I understand, people need to do what they feel comfortable with. I just don't understand why people would want to dress like sheeple. But by all means, go buy urself a baggy jacket like the coke dealers wear, and a gorda that 90% of Colombian men wear. You will look. Really. Cool. Hehe.
