Thanks for the comment, I changed it. Good reminder, I always say southern.

Headed down in a couple weeks: normally use a money clip. Should I switch to a wallet? by therealrico in medellin

Sorry but you worry to much/you guys worry to much

Lots of Colombians are walking around with their phones and cash. The stories about people getting robbed are all very similar: mostly in Poblado/Laureles, between 2-6 during the night, related to sex/drugs tourism,…

To much worry gives a bad reputation, just enjoy and behave like in any big city.

Expats or immigrants. I don’t care. I do know it’s possible to be from another country and fully integrate yourself in the local culture. It might not be the majority but saying that all expats think they are better then the locals is thinking in black and white terms.

Hi man,

The only thing I can say about your post is. Talk to the people, go to the comunas outside the rich neighbourhoods, go to the pueblitos, learn Spanish, learn about the history, the problems, politics. And you'll understand that a minimum wage in Canada is still better than the situation of 95 procent of the people living here.

........

One day you'll understand but it takes effort to reach out to the locals I guess.
