Why come back to south America?
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2223444]Surely you jest. Or either the guy with unlimited funds has not been to many countries. I regularly do a 3 hour international roundtrip Manila to Bangkok for that price. I remember me and another board member bought a ticket from Angeles City to Bangkok for $1! Europe has Ryan Air. Asia has Air Asia.[/QUOTE]If Asia has $1 flights? I find it amazing the deals that you seniors find, even more amazing that you post it. The valuable information is never posted, I wonder why?
Colombia is not a westernized country

The more money you give or spend in the developed world, you are respected and treated as such. The more money you give and spend in Colombia, the more naive and weaker Colombians think you are. She asked for drinks and you never refused, plus the translator thing at a Centro strip club, etc, thereby gave a green light. Glad you talked to the manager.[/QUOTE]Ok, advice noted.
Credit Card and Debit Cards?
Hello,
Will be heading to Medellin. It has been recommended to use a credit card with no transaction fees when possible for best rates. Anyone recommend any one specific for Colombia. Also any bank that will not charge a big transaction fee when using the ATM machines. Also what bank's ATM should I use once I'm there. I tend to exchange cash but as it has been pointed out, it seems like I'm losing some money by doing that. Been to Medellin 3 times and would be happy to answer any other question.
Thanks!
