Any fellow monger today?
I'm going to Eventos Liz, heard that's open today.

Has crime increased recently or as another guy from MDE thread indicated, criminals are getting better in tactics. I understand this is a premediated stuff but then again, the chilly video of the foreigners getting kidnapped is disturbing for the impunity displayed by the kidnappers.

Then, Meddy is much much safer than Cali by all means. Cali had more than a thousand murders in 2023. Do not travel to Cali unless you have experience and have certain mode of operation it makes it worthwhile, that is you can't it in other places in the country for the same money, or there is a specific reason.

'Although the identities of the rescued Canadians have not been publicly disclosed for security reasons,' should ring a bell, eh? Anyway, most of the city is a no go area, and every area in every direction beyond the city also should be avoided. The flood of fake videos though is a fact.
Just got to Cali, not finding a lot, any massage parlours?

We were 90% locals with a few foreigners. A guy from the UK had that foam sprayed in his face and then they took his cellular phone. It wasn't an expensive one, as he lives in Cali and has a $100 phone. About an hour later a fight broke out in the crowd as a woman was trying to steal another Colombian women's bag. This was at La Feria with a lot of people around so perhaps there was more crime, but I always try to watch my back in the city regardless. In general, I like the city for what it is.

I am in Cali end of next week and happy to show a newbie around. I have been to Cali a couple of times and familiar a few casas and a regular night time spots.
This time I am planning to hit south of the city. I have not explored that area much. I usually stay in Centenario and Grenada areas and taxi everywhere.

[QUOTE=Questner;2884150]There will be a mandatory software on all Colombian phones moving forward to lower the robberies.[/QUOTE]That would be nice. Phones are a big deal here. I had to go to Claro a couple of times to register my Cel from the USA. They also had to register my virtual SIM for my Cel. Besides being a target for thieves, a Cel here is a status symbol. If you have a BS or burner phone, just the thieves are attracted. It's somewhat understandable given the abject poverty.
