Last Thoughts of Medellin

Monday morning and back in Bogota, couldn´t be happier... sort of. It is nice to be back in my own city, working (i really do love my job) and studying spanish again. Having said that, i prefer Medellin as a city to Bogota, without a doubt. First the weather, oh my lord, it was never unbearale hot, but i came back with a new golden skin color. And the public transit was so much easier, maybe it has something to do with 2.5 million people instead of the 8 million i live with, but it never seemed impossible to get from on place to another. My morning commute in a bus is an hour and half everyday, in a hot sweaty stop and go bus. In Medellin you just walk to the Metro and fly across the city, and because it is twice as wide as Transmileno, it never feels THAT crowded. I only had the good fortune of going out one night, but i had a wonderful time. I went to a club that had this egyption theme going, waiters and waitress in all egyption type stuff, pretty girls and buff dudes dressed like kings and queens on thrones, mummies walking around, belly dancers on the bar, and three different times there was live music with guys jumping around on the bar. My favoirte aguardiente comes from the area, which was also a plus and i have developed a strong taste for Pilsen as well. The night club felt a lot like Las Vegas (i have never been) in the sense i wasnt in a crowded Bogota club but this huge open area with a ton of people, and mobility! Medellin is known around the country for its plastic surgery and it was very evident at night in and around the clubs and bars. Women their have fake t AND a out of control, not really my thing (also a lot of highlights and blonde girls, hair dye capital) but if your in to it, really its the place to be. A word of warning though, a lot of women all done up with a lot of fake stuff going on are super high end prostitues, and more often than not they´re up in the club with someone who is affiliated with drugs. So, before playing the "i am going to date your girl game" cause it could, serioulsy, live you dead in a street. Other than that it´s all good and i am counting the time until i get to go back! Miss you Medellin, and everybody there!
