Buy rate: exchange Mexican peso to Colombian peso.
Is anyone going thru the airport soon?
For my next trip to Medellin, I would love to unload about 15,000 Mexican pesos I have. I want to exchange them in Medellin for Colombian pesos. I imagine though that you get a terrible exchange rate just like when you exchange dollars for COP.
Can anyone report on MX peso to COP rates?
My Solo Trip Is Two Months Away.
I have been reading this forum and doing online research every night, trying to get a better understanding for what I am in for when I get to Medellin for 10 days in March. I am taking FaceTime Spanish lessons twice a week until I leave which is on top of a very basic foundation (2 years in high school and 1 in college. I'm 40 so it's been a while). My AirBnB is set, and it will be great based on my discussion with the owner and some reviews here. I feel like 10 days is plenty of time to have fun with the chica activities, see the sites, and maybe even make a real friend or two. So, generally speaking and thankful to a lot of the guidance I have received here, I think I am setting myself up for a good time.
I would like to get a little more insight as to how I should prepare for and approach traveling and staying alone in Medellin. Here are a few questions I have:
1. I am not a big guy. Like 5'9 160. I'm toned, fit, and athletic but I am not going to intimidate anyone. Do you think it would be unwise of me to go to bars / clubs in El Pablado or Laurales by myself at night? I know there is no certainty to anything being safe or dangerous but if I am careful, not getting wasted, am I going to be ok going out for a drink or dancing?
2. I think I have decent radar for people that are trying to pull some bull shit. Like a woman that is faking her attraction of me in order to take advantage of me. In other words, I am not going to buy bottles for a crew of blazing hot chicks that I know wouldn't otherwise giving me the time of day. My question is, do you guys have experiences when a girl has been totally normal (almost conservative) and then totally turned on you into one of the crazies?
3. How safe / acceptable is it to pick up chicas on the street in El Pablabo on the weekend? Provided they pass the sniff test for me (granted, again nothing is guaranteed), if I start walking with one of these broads and we get into a taxi / uber am I going to get shaken down by a police officer just for being with her?
4. Anyone ever been to club MUTE in Itagui? I'm into techno / house music and the place looks wicked. But I haven't seen much info on Itagui and there are always shady people in clubs like this. I am totally comfortable with them here in the states but wondering if it's not a smart move going by myself to that area and that scene in Colombia.
Thanks again fellas!

[QUOTE=BlueChange;2272412]Church. All good. Funny that she is using the same photo for 3 years. I am not surprised.
Aren't they all named Caro? Jajajajaaja.[/QUOTE]But she doesn't advertise as a party girl so I will not post the link. The weird part of it is that I contacted her in August asking her if she still dated. She said "yes'. I never managed to contact her. I was trying out Tinder and Vani's girls. Then sometime in September she was posting pictures about being engaged and had even changed her last name. Now, three months later, there is no mention of the guy and she is back to her original name. These chicas live unstable lives.
