Posts: 24Facebook.
One last question I forgot to mention. I keep reading how Facebook is key down there and how people have many possibilities from Facebook. How do you go about finding them on Facebook? How does that game work?

Posts: 24Medellin.
Just a quick question about Medellin. I'm looking for a place to stay when I'm down there. How is Pabladorentals.com? They seem to all be guest friendly.
Also is there anyway to change the order of the post, I'm not use to the newest at the top.

Posts: 252Voice and data service in Colombia (and pretty much anywhere)
I think I have shilled for google Fi here before. For americans it is a great international mobile voice and data service but I have used rather in extensively in many countries including columbia, the philippines, thailand, Cambodia, malaysia, Indonesia, Australia but you get the idea. You can save a few pesos getting a local sim card but for me the convenience of having my phone on an active wheels down in a new country is more than worth a couple of dollars period. The knock on google Fi used to be it didn't support a wide varriety of phones (I love my Pixel), but it now supports many Samsung and iPhone models. If interested see below, we both get a $20 services credit if you sing up. Feel free to mesage me with any questions.

Calle 56 #43-39 (which I believe is the address for New Life). Go to the corner of Calle 56 and Carrera 43. Go west, towards Carrera 44,39 meters. Over the door is a plaque with 43-39 on it.
Calles run east and west. Carreras go north and south. CL is the abbreviation for Calle. Cra is the abbreviation for Carrera. If you can't find a street sign at the corner, just check the addresses on a building on each street. 43-05 tells you the street crossing is either Calle or Carrera 43.55-135 or 56-05 tells you the other street is Carrera or Calle 56. The street running towards the river is a Calle. The other street is a Carrera.
2. No. Except pay attention to building addresses as noted above.
3. Never had a problem with stray dogs in Medellin. As for the unknown risks, fake police is one. Police in Colombia wear olive drab uniforms and often have a green day-glo vest. If they stop you, they don't need to tell you they are police, because it's obvious. Anyone not dressed in the police uniform, who claims to be with the police is trouble. There was a problem last year with guys hanging out around the casas, stopping gringos and robbing them. If someone approaches you, keep moving and try to enter the closest business. Move towards busier streets.
Another unknown is Scopolamine. Don't leave your drink unattended. Don't let strangers offer you drinks.

Why you ask? Isn't the reason obvious by now? Hint: this is Colombia, security and crime is still an issue in this country.
Guys don't want to call unwanted attention to themselves so they dress down. Plus, it's the girls' job to dress up and look sexy, LOL!

Posts: 537Medellin Street Signs Dilemma!
I was in Managua and my buddy in Estelli Nicaragua. No street signs in either city. Just a few on the very major streets. No Google Maps will not help. If you lose count of just one street you are lost and I walk zigzag pattern and down whatever street catches my eye. Once I saw a freshly paved fairly narrow path. I do not know if it was a narrow street or a really nice alleyway.
In Medellin Google Maps Street-View shows some signs. Some are mounted onto the sides of houses and buildings which is new to me.
1. Guestimate what percentage of the (side streets / residential) streets have signage?
2. I saw signs on poles and on the sides of buildings. Anywhere else they are hiding?
3. Unknown? Example: in Managua after 8 pm the majority of the city turns into a ghost town and the once oblivious sleeping daytime dogs wake up at night they think own the streets. They are in packs and thus dangerous. I am a dog person so for me to be bothered by it says something.
I do not need the regular do not go alone, do not be drunk, do not wear gold, etc. Looking for anything unique to Medellin or Colombia that you learned the hard way once you got there. Like my example in #3.

Watching videos (which I did and explained my findings) does not explain the reasons why. Though most people can guess most of the reasons. I was surprised because the climate is warm all year around yet I saw very very few shorts being worn so I asked the question. Your explanation is simply monkey see and monkey do. No insight what-so-ever.
In the Philippines for example there are bars that only foreigners go to and no Filipinos and vice versa. Sometimes there are different rules for foreigners versus Filipinos. I was looking for any unwritten rules. In this situation you wear and do this. But in that situation you wear and do that.
So in summary there is no reason for you not to be able to read.
