It’s hard to believe how quickly a month can go by but working full time and living in a foreign city definitely defintely helps time fly. I had a great time in Medellín. Probably due in large part to living in a huge penthouse apartment, with a nice pool, and fellow expats to pass the time. Or maybe because Medellín also has such an incredible amount of beautiful women.
My second night in Medellín I went to dinner in Parque Lleras and I was completely blown away by the number of georgous women in the restaurant I went to. I don’t remember the name of the restaurant, probably because I was distracted, but I do remember thinking that every one of the female patrons could have been Victoria’s Secret models.
As a straight guy, one thing you take note of, whether you admit or not, is what the women are like in each place you visit. It comes up in almost every hostel conversation between guys at one point or another: “where are the hottest women?”. Definitely Colombia, and Medellín are tops on my list from here on out.
The Paisas (girls from Medellín) are naturally very beautiful but for some reason cosmetic surgery is very popular. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place where I’ve noticed more women with plastic surgery. Note: I haven’t been to Hollywood or LA yet. I have even heard that breast implants are a common gift for girls on their 15th birthday.
Unfortunately the few Paisas that I met appeared to be princesses; beautiful but very high maintenance. I also found them a bit difficult to get to know past a very superficial level. Of course I’m sure there are plenty of exceptions and my stereotype is from only a month in Medellín but I heard the same complaint from many guys and even women.
It was a great month in Medellín and I could have easily stayed longer but I think Medellín is one of those places that if I stayed any longer I might not ever leave. The weather, people, and environment are too beautiful and I have too many other places that I plan to visit.
