It Aint Dangerous At All- Kinda Like The Coronavirus
[QUOTE=Incrociatore;2493670]I still wonder how can someone can get robbed on La 70, like I read here, not even at night, but during the day. If you get robbed during the day, you are really doing something wrong. I have been walking en el centro for hours and no one touched me. And I'm planning to go after midnight, with just enough money for the taxi, if not any, without my phone, so they will have nothing to rob.
I want to see if it's so dangerous like people say, because I'm sure it's not. They do rob, for sure, but if you don't have anything to rob, they will not rob you anything. During the day there is a LOT of police, and I have spoken with a policeman who told me they are there the entire night. Of course the night is much worse en El Centro, but it's not the Far West.
To be robbed on La 70 you must be dumb, really. There are places in Italy, and not even in the South, much more dangerous than La 70. I never felt unsafe, and I have been walking at 2 AM in the night. I went to la Mayorista at 1 AM.
I think some of you are paranoid, like the one saying you shouldn't give your phone number. LOL, to a Colombian chica. Fact is, you don't know what you are talking about.[/QUOTE]Your post begs the question how will a thief know whether you have anything of value on you unless they confront / assault you and go thru your pockets.
And cruising around EL Centro after midnight is not a good idea. Just hang around the Veracruz Church at that time and you will see what happens to you, and it won't be pleasant.
Even Size 12 Shoe Size Is Hard To Find
[QUOTE=Knowledge;2493695]DUO is about the largest generally available. You can find Durex comfort if you shop around a lot. I always stock up on condoms and shoes to bring back. Shoe size 48 (US 13) is considered freakishly big in Colombia.[/QUOTE]Shoe size 13 literally doesn't exist let alone size 12 for that matter in Colombia unless your at a specialty store with higher priced shoes. I needed to buy some waterproof size 12 hiking boots and had to go to a CAT store in a mall to find size 12. As far as condoms, well good advice to bring them with you as the larger sizes like Trojan Magnums aren't sold anywhere that I'm aware of.
