Scotian not sure if I asked you this but what's the diff btwn bogota and Cali? In your opinion. (Yeah thread high jacking but the dude is gone).
Bogota, being the capital and largest city naturally has more things to do and see, it has more of an international flavour as that's where all of the head offices, embassies, etc are. I really like Bogota and if it wasn't for the shitty weather (I don't mind the colder temps but the constant rain sucks) and pollution, it would be awesome. I liked the nightlife there because its varied, there's a big rock/metal scene there and they get decent concerts (Megadeath and Hatebreed played while I was there), there's also reggae/dancehall clubs, electronic music clubs and of course your standard salsa/reggaeton scene. Being the capital, there's people there from all over the country, so if you're into Costenas, calenas or Paisas, you can find them in Bogota. I also met and dated some very well educated women there, including an engineer for Haliburton, a girl who studied in Oz and another one who worked at the US embassy (which is the 2nd largest in the world)
Cali on the other hand has a much more provincial feel to it, I was only there for two weeks so can't comment on it too much but it didn't seem to have a varied night life outside of the salsa/reggaeton scene. The weather is much better in Cali, almost too hot for me but not nearly as bad as the Caribbean coast. Calenas really liked to party though I found them the easiest to get into bed, I banged two in ten days which is a lot better than the one in two weeks in Medellin or the one in ten days I got on the coast.

I stayed there about a month. I would say Medellin is not impossible for foreigners, but it's over hyped. If you don't speak Spanish your chances to get laid drop, like, 10 times or even more. Now, that's still higher than 0, but I don't know if it's worth it considering that the city is pretty dangerous in not that cheap. Thailand, for example, beats Medellin and Colombia in general: cheaper, safer, easier girls (locals and tourists).
I agree but girls wise, I would still much rather go to Colombia and am in fact planning on doing so next winter, I find the women in Colombia to be much better to date, more interesting, sexier, excellent dancers, etc. I've mentioned this before but on a date with a Colombian girl, two things are guaranteed to happen, even if the date doesn't go so well: I'll get to practice my Spanish for a couple of hours and there's a 99% chance that when I suggest that we go dancing, she'll say yes. Compare that to a Thai girl who is shy, speaks limited English and isn't interested in dancing so much unless its at a bump and grind night club (which isn't my style), I'll take the Colombiana any day, even if the chance of an SNL is a lot lower than a Thai. Different stokes for different folks I guess.
I pity the fool who goes to Colombia for only a couple of weeks, especially with limited Spanish and expects to kill it with the women, good luck with that. Its been said time and time again on here that Colombia isn't the place for that, Mixx was probably the most vocal about it, if you want to bang a different girl everyday (or multiple), head to SEA. If your game is tight, you have a good budget, you're well dressed, good looking and speak decent Spanish, I'd say you can do very well in Colombia, probably a couple of different girls a week, even more, its just not going to be anywhere as easy as SEA.
