Solo On Bogota's Dirtiest Street 🇨🇴

🇨🇴 Having checked into my hotel in the centre of Bogota I decided to go and take a walk around and see what the city had to offer. What I found was a place littered with rubbish, toxic smells and well, let's just say the world's oldest profession. However despite all that the people were extremely friendly and we met some Venezuelans who told me what to expect on my journey to their country. Join me on a street tour like no other...
This is part four of the Latin America journey from Cusco to Caracas.

Bad guys are unlikely to mess with someone who has the full attention of the neighbourhood. And, oh yes, don't stop for long, keep on moving, and move quickly ! Love his stuff !

I'm from El Salvador. It's mainly about not going out alone at night in obvious sketchy places. Go to busy nightcluby places if you want to experience nightlife. The locals will tell you where you can't go. During the day just have common sense. 99% people don't want to fuck with you and just want to go about their day. Just be aware of your surroundings on the streets and you'll be okay.

The car at 9:46 is a Fiat 125p. It was made in Poland under license, just like Lada and Zighuli, although the Russian cars were based on Fiat 124. Apparently, Polish Fiats 125p were also assembled in Colombia.

[@kris1983ish]

the front lights made the difference for me. Lada's are slightly different

[@VadGTI]

​@@kris1983ish Rear lights are different too. The Fiat 125 (Polski Fiat 125p) is also physically larger than the Fiat 124/Lada 2101.

[@cobhamlondon]

@@VadGTI My grandad had one orange Polski Fiat

[@adam7264]

And then it was renamed to FSO 125p, which was produced in Poland until 1991.

Wow. What a place. I reckon that speaking passable Spanish seriously helped you, whilst you strolled around some incredibly rough looking streets. A language barrier is the last thing one would want in a place like that. You have outstanding social skills... everyone was very friendly towards you. Goes to show not to judge a place just from how it looks and smells.
