Penelope - what went wrong

Deek,

If you were making a well considered move, you'd already know the prices.  How much time have you spent there?  Have you even been there?  Do you speak Spanish?   Perhaps other forum members feel as I do.  You need more fundamental advice than what you're asking for.

Now I'd suggest starting a new thread and going over your story and decision making process regarding the move to Medellin.  You might find that you'll get more feedback that way.  And please, STOP USING ALL CAPS.  It's considered to be shouting in forums.

What he is trying to tell you is don´t jump in the middle of another thread asking the same question over and over. All it does is piss people off get it!!!!

Hey Papi

   Actually I missed you I just came home today... I had a crappy dial up in
Barranquilla so my internet was limited down there.  I was kinda thinking of
giving you a call but the last week I was alittle stressed out because I was
leaving again.  Maybe next time I am down there maybe we can hook up for
dinner with the girls... as long as your girl is on time... :-)

Geez, the guy would be glad to help you I'm sure. It sure beats harassing everyone here, most of whom have no idea what an apartment runs for.

Utopia, my advice for him would be to spend time down there - make sure he likes it first. Get an Aparta-Suite in the Poblado or something for starters, meet some ladies and then have them help with the apt shopping. he is going to get a better deal out of the newspaper. Pablo might be able to help but again - all he needs is a girl to show him around. getting an apartment is a commitment and a hassle because for the lowest price he will need to furnish it with everything including kitchen appliances

I could ask my wife who would talk to her sister about what's up in Medellin concerning apartments but you're getting it third hand then and in Spanish. Better to just email Pablo and get the scoop from him in English. For a start where do you want to live in Medellin?

What a bummer. Oh well, better now than later. Good luck I guess we WILL be taking a trip together then?!

Yes, I could be game on the travel. I most likely will want to hit BQ again and maybe another city. Not sure on BOG but maybe if you twist my arm. Kind of thinking of Panama/BQ. By the way, the guy that sat next to me on the plane is an interesting character - has a place in Fla but is from BQ. And like you - is a latino and has been to UKE/FSU on a wife hunt. He also has run all around LA

He is from BAQ & he went to UKE?! WTF?! Boy is he going to be disappinted. Sorry PERHAPS the ladies ARE gorgeous. Most I went out with were more beautiful than the Colombians but man NO MATCH when it comes to affections & respect man. Sorry but that's MY experience. Did he say anything about the ukes?
