No doubt Medellin(and Colombia) is a beautiful place, but there are many other beautiful places in the world too.  Let's be honest, the reason you landed in Medellin(and Colombia) is not for the beauty of the country. 
And let's be real, most of the Colombia, like the rest of Latin American countries are rundown, dirty,violent, corrupt, and lack of inferstructure.  Look at the industry club picture above, I see primitive lighting system and stage.  I don't know what other clubs you have been to in Europe or Asia, or America.  You think Industry is nice?

Veridiana pizza, SPOT, Casa de Porco, Athenas, Bovinu's Churrascaria, MEATS Burgers, Cantina do Piero il Vero Italian, Thai Food Libertade, Los Burritos....these are some of my favorite go to places in SP......I don't like Japanese food nor Japan for that matter....And I've been to 4 or 5 cities there 😬 I've been with Japanese guys there and the US though....

Have fun. If you like japanese food I can recommend  Misoya Ramen (R. Antônio Carlos, N.324)
and Kome (sushi R. São Miguel, 24). Both are 6 minutes away by foot from Lagoa.
