Posts: 586White Taxi
The white airport taxis are 65 mil to Poblado and 50 mil back. I use the same guy every time. He is honest and told me the prices. Pay any more than that either way and someone is taking advantage of you (more the principle than the money, obviously).

Posts: 4026Correct, they are often worn as a sort of costume jewelry. They are a status symbol. I've learned to ignore them but it took a while to realize they wouldn't cut my dick.

The over all homicide rate is 31.2 per 100,000 in Guatemala, Colombia is 26.5.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._homicide_rate
However the US tourist death rate over 5 years in Colombia was only point 72 per 100,000, with 19 killed in 5 years per State Dept figures.
https://travel.state.gov/content/tra...cs/deaths.html
Can't find the number of US tourists to Guatemala but they had 17 US citizens killed over 5 years, Colombia gets 3. 3 million tourists per year, 500,000 from the US, Guatemala gets only 1. 9 million total, number from US uncertain but if the percentages are roughly the same as Colombia then they get around 287,000 US visitors per year, which would give us a figure of 1. 18 killed per 100,000 per year, about 1.6 x's the Colombian rate but still not too bad as the overall US rate of 4.8 per 100,000.

I am jealous, she had lost her ID she said so I said no way, got her number anyway, she even WhatsApped me to take her to get her ID but that didn't sound like much fun, then my last day while on the bus to the airport she WhatsApped me a copy of her new ID, "NOOOOOOOOOOO! Echoed across the valley's. LOL. Man she has the tiniest flattest waist and looks to be all of 75 lbs wet. Sigh, next time. Was she fun? Cuter / hotter in person then these pictures would indicate I thought.

But when I've gone out with less than subtle (and LOUD) gringos who do these things I've always felt the lasers coming out of the eyes of the local folks ESPECIALLY the older females. Very uncomfortable and I'm surprised my fellow ADULT travelers don't have that basic common sense.

Posts: 2513OOT, but there is a loose link
I apologize if my question is OOT, but there is a reason if I post it here. Please bear with me.
I will go to Guatemala, many years after my first visit (and anyway I did not have the chance to play at that time). I have seen in the Guatemala thread that some people posting here is active also there.
I am interested, more than visiting casas and clubs (which I guess I will do anyway), to explore also the underground and street action. Maybe not necessarily to get a girl, but to get to know the local environment. It's always interesting for me to venture off track.
As I do in Medellin: every time I was in Medellin, I spent hours walking around Centro streets, not only at daytime but also well after midnight, and not only along the bars of Raudal and De Greiff but also at Prado under the metro, as well as I spent hours with a friend taxi driver roaming around where it is not possible to walk. All that, often without taking a girl unless the few times I spotted a gem (to my eyes, of course).
So what is my question here. How are the streets of Guatemala City at night, compared to Medellin? What is the level of danger? More dangerous? Less? And what about taxis? Are they safe as in Medellin, or there is still a problem of robbing? What about Zona 1? Other areas marked for "street walkers" on the Google map provided in the Guatemala Thread?
I post this question here, because I am asking those who are familiar with both places and therefore can provide their insight, using Medellin as a comparison term.
Thank you!
P.S.: I notice that the efficient "cleaning service" is always active on this thread. Some washing overnight was carried out.
