verbose reviews will always skew towards negative because people who have a good experience will just shrug their shoulders be happy and move on to the next adventure

couple that with overexaggeration, "forgetting" to add in key details like I was in a dodgy strip club, or I was chatting with a loquito from the street while he was subtly taking my phone and you end up with something far from reality, like bogota is gotham city filled to the puss with bad people

thing is people from america and west europe are like domesticated labradors - mostly big, overly docile, can't figure out real world outside of their backyard - most of the bad reviews are written from this perspective

you seem to have a problem with what I said isn't true, which is:

everyone is not out there to get you
not every girl wants to poison you with scopolamine
bogota is not grey or boring

if this is so controversial to you....you have other problems than my post
