January 12Jan 12 As I was returning to my hotel now, 22:45 in Laureles Medellin, I was reminded of the seasonal concern-opinion voiced here by some: why be alert or even frightened in colombia, when u can b calm in thailand... I walked by myself 15 minutes from a music club. Streets were lighted (better than in pattaya), few people walking, few stores open. Neither a homeless in sight, nor a group of rowdy youngsters. Nobody offered me girls/boys or drugs. Saw a police car on the way. Sure there r areas to avoid, but there is no reason to forgo all that colombia has to offer bcs of outdated stigmas. To paraphrase seinfeld: "impugning a whole country"...

To paraphrase seinfeld: "impugning a whole country"... while you are right remember that " one statistic sample is not a basis to formulate hypothesis ". I have family member who was once given fake 100 USD bill by Swiss bank and rather nobody in right mind would accuse Swiss of being cheats.

One only wonders what they need barbed wire on top of their fences and more scrupulous would even wonder why they need fences at all.

Why does everyone in the world use security cameras, I'm not talking about you of course 😆
