Can you elaborate on your 3 month stint in Cali and why you wouldn't go back there? I'm considering going there next winter so any info would be appreciated.
OK.
I was staying in a cheap and comfortable hotel in Granada with good (Italian) food so I didn't even bother to look for a flat there (which is by the way much more difficult to find than in Medellin).
I stayed mainly for the climate and because I always had new girls numbers to work on. Petite girls are kind of round and have huge (fake) asses and boobs.
Cali to me is just very superficial and hollow.
The main problem is that they are very provincial. I just didn't meet one interesting girl there after 3 months and they are extremely flaky as well (not as much as in Medellin though). There are much less independent well traveled girls than in Bogotá and the ones who are are much more snobish and closed to foreigners. The nightlife is almost entirely aimed at couples. Girls do not go to clubs unaccompanied. Salsa nights with couchsurfing are pretty good but no high quality girls.
If you're a white guy and likes black girls, you will get them very easily in Cali.
In 10 days in Bogotá, I had a much better social circle than after 3 months in Cali.
The only thing that kept me from going back to Bogotá was the price of the lodging and the climate. I paid like 100 USD a night for a good apartment in Bogotá and I was freezing my ass of at night (huge windows not well isolated). The secret to this town is to have an electrical heater in the bedroom and one in the bathroom...
On the picture, typical Cali girls in Chipi Chape mall (great mall with wifi) who wish they were Swedish...
