    One of the most underrated capital cities in the world, great people, food, nightlife, business friendly, entrepreneurship hub, great universities. It is has a great geographic location, 3 hrs from miami, 4 hrs form mexico city, 6 from buenos Aires, 3 hrs from Lima, 4 hrs from dallas, several flights to US cities, cost of living its decent. I am glad you love Bogota!

      The saddest side of it is that it's underrated by its own dwellers. In most cases visitors from different parts of the world get impressed by the beauty and everything the city offers, sadly it's the local who keep speaking ill of the city. I, born and raised in Bogotá, have had hot debates with other Bogotanos, having to defend my city from them. The nicest things I've heard about Bogotá, I've heard them from foreigners either visiting or living in the city.

      My spouse's cousin, a graduate of La U Javeriana - Cali - visited bgtá. He was so impressed with the amount of money circulating. I really don't know exactly what he saw but I was very proud that he liked bogotá. I didn't care for Cali, maybe it's more for singles, I don't know. Plus I prefer bogotá's weather.

      Greetings! My family & I spent end of the year holidays in Cosby TN, 1st time visiting the state, hiked several times in The Smokys, children skiied in Gatlinburg, my most exciting moment was at Newfound Gap when I stumbled upon the historic Appalachian trail. I was elated. The scariest... when upon returning from Abrams Falls at night time the exit road was iced & 2 cars had fallen into the ditch & over 25 cars including us were stuck in the parking lot. Thank GOD the gas tank was full, we waited about 2 hours while the snow plow cleared another alt road, then one by one the cars exited the area & the snow plow driver was out waiting at the main road & would let the park ranger know when each car made it out safely & would say to send out the next car. On our way out we did slide on a curb but there was a parking area and we were able to turn onto the road again. That night what would've been an hour & a half ride back to Cosby turned into a 3+ hr. drive home. We drove slowly on the snow covered road and staying as close to the mountainside because the other side was the river. (Gulp) We were all praying & quiet on the way back. And we were so happy to make it out safely. 😅
      And for the record I want to return, at the same time of year when bears are going into hybernation. I love the cold weather & hiking in it, we want to go up to Mount LeConte, hopefully even lodge up there too. The Smokys are beautiful.

    I like Bogotá and I've been going for nearly 40 years (with some long breaks), but the idea of Bogotá as a world center of nice people would probably leave most bogotanos dissolved in laughter. I feel that they sell their city short, in part because they don't sufficiently know what the rest of the world is like, but if you gave me pen and paper to jot down keywords for Bogotá I don't think "friendly people" would get there. I do agree with the rest of it--I like that it's not hot, it's got the (geographically) largest expanse of urban well-being that I've ever seen, and even the rest of it is far better than it used to be. And it's not nearly as provincial as it used to be, although it was better for classical music in the 1980s because they had a pipeline to Soviet-bloc countries (especially Bulgaria) as barter-for-coffee, believe it or not. For me the key connectivity thing (since I just go to/from the US which has never been a connectivity issue) is that you can get anywhere in Colombia so easily. Leaving the most obvious for last, it's got way too much street crime, but they've changed some laws today (literally, today) that might improve matters a bit.

It seemed like a nice place, and I ran into some Germans traveling. Since I spent 10 years in Germany, I was able to speak German to them, which was refreshing.
    I have yet to go to Medellin, but my wife has been there.
    We live in a city not far from Venezuela, and it's quiet and the people are wonderful. The motos are crazy, though, cutting you off frequently and other crazy things. I think they all imagine they are Evil Knievel. Sadly, I see one or two moto accidents weekly. But in general, the people here are lovely. Built a house here, and that's been a fun experience.

    The worst thing is the terrible traffic. They badly need a subway system. I know they are building one and phase 1 will be completed by 2028 (maybe). Until then, moving about in the city will be difficult. North Bogota is nice especially around Unicentro. That is where you are talking about. South Bogota is bad but not as bad as other Latin Countries. If you are into bird watching, it is probably the best city in the World for birding. They have nice city parks with a lot of birds and several large (well run) national parks just a few hours' drive from the city which are also great for hiking.

      It depends a lot on how your friend is, I mean the physical appearance and his ability to conquer, a tall, white, blue-eyed and good looking guy can easily conquer a Colombian woman who is attractive and above all that is not a prepaid or prostitute, although I have seen everything

    • @monicarubiano3062
      @monicarubiano3062 2 роки тому +5

      As a Colombian woman, I say that your friend may be right, however it depends on factors such as: age, education and wealth. A girl with barely high school or technical school, on minimum wage, living in a working neighborhood will be easy to get than a highly educated one that speaks languages, have money and come from high class parents. Also if is a escort or one that looks for a "gringo" to give her money that one is going to be very easy to get. So, your friend may be clubbing with those that expect him to give them money, and take them out of the country. The really good ones are difficult to get, because they have many options, including relocating without needing a gringo to do so.
