    I’ve been binging your videos 😂..
    I’m Colombian American but I lived in Pereira for a part of my life, my husband is Vietnamese (from LA) he has yet to visit Colombia. It’s been so refreshing to watch your videos, love your perspective on so many topics & your view as an Asian. Thanks for sharing!

      @@ILikeCallOfDuty123 In Manizales younger people like are most likely to speak english. There are not tension with riots in Manizales, that's not common in this City. However, I highly recommend Manizales, is a healthy and friendly city and if you get bored, you can visit Pereira (a bigger city) 1 hour ago or Armenia, a touristic city 2 hours ago. If you come here please learn some spanish, you ll not regret living here.

    You compared women in Medellin to the women in Los Angeles, Cali. What keeps you in Colombia? It seems where ever a man travels women will still be the same like in America. Am I wrong in my understanding? Or do Colombian women still out rank American women?

    • @WheresWes
      @WheresWes  4 роки тому +5

      no I think Medellín is a very specific outlier because it is so heavily influenced by the US. it's very different than the other cities of Colombia, especially Manizales. i would still pick Medellín over LA but Colombian culture and the people are the best that I've seen. Those are the things that keep me here.
      Colombian women still outrank American women in looks and feminity hands down.

    • @aahsimovieprojects
      @aahsimovieprojects 4 роки тому +2

      Colombian women are better looking than American women on average, and you run into attractive girls all the time. I'm from Miami which is known for being a city with better looking people, but Medellin is on a whole other level. Can't walk through a mall without cranking your neck every couple minutes.

      @seeitwithme1412 4 роки тому

      @@WheresWes I don't like Poblado because of all the hills and it is very turistic and expensive. I prefer the more local areas like Floresta, Estadio, Laureles, Colores, Velodromo (obviously not all parts of the areas I mentioned are great). However, it is a more local feel. Good luck in Manizales. Looking forward to more information about Manizales.
