Date: October 17th, 2013 3:36 PM Author: shaky piazza I'm thinking Bogota but have also heard good things about Medellin on this board. Also considering Cartegena. It's only like $500 to fly to Bogota though.

Date: October 17th, 2013 3:44 PM Author: shaky piazza I hear this a lot for cities across a wide spectrum of safety. Can you compare to other worldwide cities? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252776) |

Date: October 17th, 2013 3:46 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office Dangerous compared to most first world countries where you can walk around at night, flag taxis on the street, and such. It's a great place to go, you just need to watch your back. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252784) |

Date: October 17th, 2013 3:50 PM Author: shaky piazza Lol damn see it's this oh its safe but "you need to watch your back."
I've been to Manila, Bangkok, almost every major European/Asian/NA city, Tijuana...Of these Manila was probably the worst while every city (except the first world/chinese cities) had the oh it's safe but just be careful warning. |

Date: October 17th, 2013 3:54 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office A lot of South American cities are just different in that regard. Even the locals don't walk around at night. You will see if you go that the streets are deserted except for groups of thugs looking to rob people.
One of the cool things about Medellin is that the wealthy area where all the foreigners stay is heavily policed. So, you can safely walk around by yourself at night there. |

Date: October 17th, 2013 3:47 PM Author: bearded public bath bro, pretty much everywhere except actual warzones is safe as long as you aren't an idiot about it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252796) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 3:44 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office Generally safe-ish. Just have to call taxis, never walk around by yourself at night, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252777) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 3:47 PM Author: shaky piazza So does this mean I can't mob around the red light district at night? People say don't walk around at night in almost every major city but in most cases the chances are pretty slim of anything actually happening...For example, walking around downtown LA vs East Oakland (might get mugged vs good 10% chance of being murdered if you're white).

Date: October 17th, 2013 3:49 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office Eh, there are places in Colombia, particularly in Bogota, where if you walk around by yourself at night, there is like a 50%+ chance of you getting mugged. And these areas are sometimes right outside the hostels. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252808) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 3:51 PM Author: shaky piazza TY, this is what I was looking for. How could a 50% chance of being mugged be safe lol. Can someone corroborate this? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252819) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 3:55 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office It's safe because you don't fucking wander the streets at night. If you want to go somewhere, you call a taxi, verify the number when it arrives, then call a taxi and do the same on the way back.

Date: October 17th, 2013 4:04 PM Author: Cyan Knife You realize Bogota is a cold, grey, dirty city not unlike the uglier parts of London, right? The women aren't hot, either. Medellin, Pereira, Armenia...heck even Barranquilla, are terrific,though. Clean, beautiful girls, temperate weather, etc. |

Date: October 17th, 2013 4:09 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office This is credited. Bogota does have some interesting museums and culture and such.
Edit: Roughly speaking, Bogota is to Medellin as SF is to LA. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 4:05 PM Author: Cyan Knife To be clear, Id avoid Bogota altogether. It's not particularly unsafe, it just doesn't have the hot women and happy Colombian vibe you're looking for. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24252896) |

Date: October 17th, 2013 4:26 PM Author: shaky piazza I hear you, but I'm only planning a weekend or so. I absolutely do not give a shit about culture/sightseeing. I do care about hot chicks (prostitutes or girls I can bang) and 180 coke though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24253006) |

Date: October 17th, 2013 4:29 PM Author: Bateful ocher trump supporter principal's office Agree with skipping Bogota then. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2389888&forum_id=2#24253029) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 4:31 PM Author: Cyan Knife Then avoid Bogota, and for that matter, Cartagena.
Go to Medellin or Cali for nightlife & hot women. |
|
Date: October 17th, 2013 4:34 PM Author: shaky piazza Will it be worth an extra $300/night though? I'm fine with staying in my hotel and banging hotties and chopping up rails, but if you're saying I can't even do that then yeah I'll go elsewhere.

|
Date: October 17th, 2013 4:44 PM Author: Cyan Knife YES
I am telling you, Bogota is cold, gray, the women are dour and not very good looking, the nightlife isn't great, as its a congested business city with little happiness. Everyone wears black and tries to avoid the rain.
Go to Medellin or Cali and you will thank me, |
