Glad it helps. Take that walk during the day. IT's absolutely beautiful. There's not even kids outside playing

Thank you very much. I look forward to returning to Medellin Colombia soon. Have a bless Day!

[@dcbornrob]

[@wickman.r4662]

[@dcbornrob]

Thanks for sharing William. I love your area

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Where in the Laureles area there do older expats live near amenities??

[@dcbornrob]

What do you mean amenities?

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@dcbornrob stores, restaurants, pharmacy, medical services.....

[@wickman.r4662]

Where you say sit on the Estadio Metro steps is also located a station for the free to ride EnCicla bicycles.

[@wickman.r4662]

. ? Does your dentist remove calculus with hand tools to prevent cavities?. Most Medellin dentist prefer drilling and filling, rather than preventing tooth decay.

[@wickman.r4662]

Rob, The Metro system map is available on the internet. Same map as posted within the Metro system. You could easily insert that Metro map in your presentation for helpful orientation to realize your azimuth. Carrera & Calle.

[@wickman.r4662]

Rob says he uses italki? Very basic is the word UNIVERSIDAD. Rob easily pronounced university.

[@dcbornrob]

thanks for watching

[@mjohn36461]

Is 1968 closed? I walked by it wednesday, and it looked like it had been for a while.

[@dcbornrob]

I didn't make it by this trip. Went exactly a year ago and they were open. Just not as good

[@ReceptionDesk-tk2se]

is la castillian neighborhood near there and is it safe place

[@dcbornrob]

Not sure. And as far as safety, check out NUMBEO to compare. But also this link. en.casacol.co/2022/08/22/medellin-neighborhood-guides-castilla/

[@ardiesetropawiro3310]

Sir, we visit medellin next week and we will know where we can exchange our usd safely? Can you help us with some address?? Greeting Andre

[@dcbornrob]

Hey Andre, I've never exchanged money there. I'm sorry. I've only used ATM's. This would be a good question for our private group. Many expats there

[@wickman.r4662]

There are money exchange places. I’ve used one near the large Exito market near the Suramericana Metro station.

[@robertkling6233]

New York City never looked as good as Laureles. I lived there many years. At Estadio Station I met one of the nicest paisas. For me, LA 70 and Calle 33 are not places to be after dark. Tourists go more to LA 70 and locals go more to Calle 33. I'll miss a lot, but that is ok. I like my life and my possessions.

[@dcbornrob]

Gotcha. I used to sit in the corner on 33 and drink and people watch. Younger crowd too.

[@wickman.r4662]

Near the Exito market are low cost places to do bachata and salsa in the evenings where tourists and locals mingle.

[@danielpeterson5577]

Is there any areas where they have like housing subdivisions when they have single-family dwellings with one or two floors for people who not into the apartment thing. House communities that are security gated with armed security guard mm. You can point me to if you know of any

[@dcbornrob]

Some, but not many. This would be a good question for the group

[@thealternativecontrarian9936]

I live in the Parque del Rio and Pueblita Paisa area and I have walked along those streets many times.

[@dcbornrob]

Yes nice area. I always wanted to walk to Pueblita Paisa from the street, but have only been there being dropped off

[@shaystar9347]

The street is beautiful

[@dcbornrob]

Man, I loved that walk. Always the same and NO KIDS

[@wickman.r4662]

It’s OK to learn some basic Spanish language. Lots of free KZbin s of basic Spanish.

[@ChasExplorz]

Forget Medellin. Colombia has so much more to offer

[@dcbornrob]

thanks for watching

[@1anmarket5850]

What size do you prefer? I’m in Medellin now

[@rezaahari2207]

No robbing ,drugging today tnx god rob

[@dcbornrob]

Oh, there's robbing and druggings for sure. I just didn't report it. And hopefully not tourists or expats. 🙏🙏🙏

[@mikeb2611]

i thought you had a really good arepa at parque lleras when you had the security guard with you

[@dcbornrob]

NO No No, that wasn't an arepa. Lol. That was a chicken empanada. MMM, best price too. El Machetico or something like that on. Calle 9

[@abombu235]

Check out club Logia if you're going there.

[@dcbornrob]

Thanks for the heads up

[@antoniodelrey164]

Tinto means ink because the coffee is dark like ink. It’s basically an expreso. All you need to get going is a café tinto. La 70 is a very cool street and Laureles is very nice. Great for walking and lots of restaurants and bakeries. Most are good except for the one where you had the bad tamale…

[@dcbornrob]

lol. Thanks for the info. The tinto I had, had too much sugar in it. I guess that's how they offset the strength of it

[@antoniodelrey164]

@@dcbornrob just tell them sin azúcar. They may think gringos can’t handle it without. I like my coffee like my ex girlfriend. Cold and bitter. Haha. Got ya on that one. Stay safe and keep the info flowing.

[@antoniodelrey164]

@@dcbornrob Rob, I know you like Medellin news stories. This one has to do with a murder of a local gay guy who had casa that trans girls used in Prado Centro. Happened a week or so ago but was just on TV for a vigil but in papers too. He was called La Gata. Seems he was a very well liked person in Medellin as well as internationally for some reason. It just goes to show that everyone and anyone can be a victim there. This happened mid day and not at night…

[@Battleatchivamaugs]

Lmao! Couldn't agree more with you about the arepas Rob. I just don't get! Bland, weird texture, no flavor, wtf! 😂

[@dcbornrob]

Yep, there. I just had one in Guatemala that was amazing though. go figure

[@1anmarket5850]

Not picking up a Sweet Georgia cafe in Poblado, just Laurales

[@dcbornrob]

Not sure why. But just walk two blocks south of Parque Poblado on calle 9
