You hit the nail on the head.
[QUOTE=Matt Psyche; 1104272]I like everything in Mayorista, except cigarrete vendors. They are consistently watching over the people, and when a girl is approaching you, or vice versa, they never miss a chance, come to you, and have you buy the girl a gum for 2k peso. I know that it is a part of system, but I do not like this seemingly "taking advantage" tactics. Last time when I was kissing a girl and we were talking romantic things (yes, call me damn) , a vendor came to us and irritated me "and the girl." Again, should I accept this merchant custom and respect it as a part of local culture? I have difficulty to respect some culture here, the way they drive, the way they drink, etc.
As. [/QUOTE]Of the thing that bothers me the most is as you say those vendors. They are worse when you are sitting in the diso with a Chica. Then if you try to ignor them they shake the box of chiclets in your face. One old guy never gives up. He just stares at you.
About the way they drive. I have posted before the real danger in MDE is getting run over by a vehicle. I have had a few close calls, but never a problem with bandits, only reckless drivers.
The way they drink. I only have one comment about that. Never try to out drink a Mayorista Chica. You will end up under the table before she does.
Treat them all like ladies.

Colombianas and money (and male colombians)
I must say that Colombians seems to be like the people in Southern Italy.
We have incomes; we steeel from each other, we export drugs or contaminated neaclear garbage.
Progressive work here is only posibile through the US Plan Colombia 2000. Since then people have started to become more rational and less aggressive.
Colombianas are always nice, its a way to make you feel segure. And then they rob you.
They never pay for anything, is't a natural law that a gringos shall pay for everything. I brought this up to open conflict. In one case the colombinas retreated and apologieced. The second time they felt, and least they pretended, to be humilated that I did'nt want to pay there part of the bill. I didn't know the people and they were middel-high class personas with good incomes.
Stay away!
Choose your company, and this is the hard part, even if it's initially means that you loose some hot looking girls. Actually they have a very bad reputation already here.
1 level escorts laughs about that they send out gringos to the supermarkets to buy perfume. Etccc.
We are nerds, tontos!
We need to change this, ontherwise the hole point going to Medellin sonn will be lost.
We must built a front for expats with normal incomes!
The benefits outway the costs!
Hey guys, the benefits outway the costs, if not I wouldn't be here. I don't have male colombian friends for the reasons stated. So I spend my money on the women, but it takes a while to learn to control them and not go broke. Can't be bad, but can't seem overly eager or golible. Once you learn is worth it.
Frank Casio!
