I have never taken a Spanish class, yet I speak, read, and write Spanish very good.
It's very well, not very good. Just saying'.
I'm just busting chops and using this as a chance to say thanks for your years of contributions to this board. Mr. E you have helped many of us make Medellin less of a. Mystery (see what I did there).
Happy hunting everybody!

Posts: 297Actually french and spanish are very similar. If you know french its not that difficult to learn spanish. Both have the same types of conjugation, although some nouns are different. If you can learn the conjugation then your halfway there. Noun, adjectives, adverbs are easy to learn. You don't need to be perfect in spanish, just enough to get your point across. If you stay in Colombia for some time it should be easy to pick it up. Also, Colombian spanish has the most neutral spanish in the world, or at least so I have been told.
Another way to pick up the language is to attend the intensive spanish course I wrote about earlier.

Posts: 115Trip Report. Early April.
Recently returned to Medellin and had another great time. Although not necessarily because of the hobby. Medellin continues to be a special city and setting to me. Magical weather that always feels pleasant and spring-like, good restaurants, and an emerging cosmopolitan, world-class culture is emerging. That obviously changes the social scene and I've continually noticed a bit of a downward trend at the top-tier of the action. Where prices are maxing out and a sense of delusion is taking place. Also. The quality at the top-tier isn't what it used to be, seemingly. That said, still a target-rich environment with many great experiences to be had.
For me, I'm not one to dig deep into the el Centro or the local scene looking for diamonds in the rough. I simply don't have enough time as my trips are short (2-4 days). I visited Fase Dos and La Isla twice. Both times were a bit underwhelming. It was the week before holy week so that could've factored in. Then I ended up just not all that interested in the scene and enjoyed the city. For me, it's time for a new experience. I may try Cali. But everyone keeps saying I need to experience Brazil (Rio & Sao Paulo). I've never been. Curious as to the Colombian veterans here - what do you think of Brazil in comparison to Medellin?

Obviously fake cedulas, borrowed and / or stolen cedulas are common.

Posts: 11Cedula.
Hi,
Does having a cedula mean they are over 18 or can under 18 also have one?
Thanks.

Posts: 3950I used a foreign passport and registered on the carrier's web site. I had no problem for 4 years. Until I got a new phone. I got texts and emails telling me I had to register. I tried to register from the phone itself via the *611# menu but it did not work for me. I did it on the web site again.

Posts: 3950The IMEI registration policy is to combat, narcos, guerillas, and general criminal activity. Registered IMEIs save investigators the time and trouble of electronically tracing or doing physical surveillance to figure out who is involved when an IMEI shows up in the call history of subjects of investigations.

Posts: 3950You can register a phone and SIM card with a foreign passport. Comecel / Claro let's you do it over the internet if you set up a "myclaro" account on their website. You can also prevent a passport in person. I forgot all about the procedures until I got a new phone a few months ago. Sure enough, I started getting text messages and e-mails within a week telling me I had X number of days to register.
