Locally made knockoff tennis shoes 10-20 k Do they last?

I have never seen that price, but they only go up to US size 10, so I have never been able to try them out.

What are many of you buying in Medellin that is a good deal or is hard to find?

I'm thinking Amoxicillin at 2 k for 10- 500 MG tabs. Anyone know for a fact if there is a 50 pill personal exemption for this med?

Sildenafil at 4 k for a 4 pk of 50 MG tabs. Anyone declare and import 50 pills?

Lycra boxer shorts at 5 k ea.

Locally made knockoff tennis shoes 10-20 k Do they last?

Guava sweets and colombian candy.

Colombian sombrero 21 Vueltiao.

Coffee.

I know the sweets and candy aren't a problem, at least for a reasonable amount. I know a lot of people bring back pills, but not sure on how much is allowed, or if they are declaring them. Coffee I believe has a limit, but I can't remember the amount. Clothes shouldn't be any problem either. Most of the clothes I returned with were bought in Colombia. No experience with the knock-off shoes, but the knock-off jeans weren't very well made.

What is your favorite Colombian Ron and why?

Ron Medellin Extra Anejo 8 yr is my usual go-to Colombian Ron nice balanced anejo.

Ron Caldas I agree with some of colombianos and think this tastes like gasolina.

Ron Parce 8 yr REALLY like this stuff, but can be pricey and hard to find.

Ron Dictador haven't tried yet. Seems overly trendy.

Ron Hechicera haven't tried yet.

How do you usually drink your rum? Neat? Cuba Libre? Ron Medellin I can drink either neat or Cuba libre style. Coca-Cola and a lime slice please. Minimal regrets the next morning.

Give a tip if you feel like it, but don't give an exorbitant one, it looks like a bribe.

If you're overly generous with a housekeeper she'll probably think you're trying to get extra services, and either be indignant or start negotiating with you!

DO NOT TIP TAXI DRIVERS IN Bogota! Really, don't even take them if you can avoid it at all!!

Tiping? US Gringo thing. Not everybody around the world do like the US Gringo! Why tiping? I don't see it as my business to pay "tips" (I. E. Salary) to all kind of gangsta such as taxi driver (which I never use whatsoever), the the bartender etc. It is the business' duty to pay its staff. Period! Tjat's how the Colombia dudes see it, that's how many others see it. US Gringo think they must pay foer every silly thing. Good, then they do it. But don't try to force other to do it alike!

PS: The room cleaner I give a few cents every here and there, but not the restaurant dude

Good for you 🤪

Service is usually included in your restaurant bill unless you tell the guy not to include it.

I do tip the housekeeper if I'm staying in a hotel. I end up with a dozen fluffy towels instead of the 3 regular ones I would get.

[Michi T]

I always tip the housekeeping staff, then I leave a note asking for extra towels and always receive them. They are surprised because Colombians generally don't tip for anything, certainly not hotel housekeepers. If you tip a taxi driver outside of the areas frequented by gringos it will be met with the same look of astonishment.

Do any of you guys tip hotel housekeepers in Colombia? They seem so surprised when I do it.

Do you tip the bell hop, bartenders and any of the other hotel workers as well?

Latina angeR.

One Latina I've been speaking to online seems pretty mad at me and said she didn't want to talk to me again. Did nothing wrong. Just couldn't do something she wanted on time so created a fuss. She Seems really nice and don't want to lose her over something so stupid. Should I just wait and hope she texts back? I think maybe I'm blocked but it was random.

I found out there is an App that works like Uber in Colombia. It is called 'beat'. I downloaded it to my iphone and used it. Very similar to Uber. Apparently it costs a bit less than Uber.

Beat is good; a lot of my friends use it. It takes longer to get a car sometimes but it is quite a bit cheaper.

There's also Picap for the really intrepid. They send you a MOTORCYCLE that picks you up.

My point is that you're not going to change it, especially with first time girls. Usually they will be late. You can cancel, or cuss her out, but it's not going to change.

My experience has been, the girls who I have the best time with are more likely to be punctual. The ones who are habitually late, seem to be weak in the sack. If I'm really interested in giving her a try, I'll give a bigger window. If she's just in the middle of the scale for me, I shrink the window and give her an ultimatum.

But there's always the chance of something coming up. If it's raining hard, chances are you're out of luck in Medellin. Especially if she lives up in the hills. One extremely dependable girl cancelled because her mother couldn't make it up to their house until the rain stopped. Nobody to watch the kids until she got home.

My vacation attitude is to be relaxed. I don't want to create a bunch of stress every day over things I can't change. I make allowances. If I need to take a detour, I enjoy the change of scenery instead of griping about taking a different route.

That's my whole point. Instead of stressing about it, just write a girl off if she's more than half an hour late without a good reason and you'll enjoy yourself a lot more. You're probably dodging a bullet, as you also kindly pointed out.

Of course, if she calls and says she's two blocks from where you're staying and wants to fuck for free, your call.
