Wow. You are living in Pablo Escobar's town. Pls tell me you have been to his house for tourist purpose...lol

bro, as much as many people look up to these people, this is not my cup of tea. furthermore, gringos who are into this type of things are not well viewed here because (to the locals) Pablo Escobar was a demon who murdered millions of innocent people. what he did for the poor is much less than the atrocities he committed.

but the hard reality is that, thanks to the Narcos serie and the wonderful city, Medellin has turned into a touristic hotspot. i once met a Korean dude here who told me the only reason he came to Colombia is because he fell in love with the narcos serie, and wanted to discover Medellin.

actually i once pass by the ruins of one of his old house in Guatape, who is next to a lake.... and even though the place has been burned down and bombed by police, you could still see the extravagant lifestyle of the dude. there was tunnel everywhere leading from the main house to a nightclub on the property and escape routes everywhere.

Pablo Escobar last known residence in Medellin was demolished a year ago (the building was a 10 floor building complex just for his family and security). the city believe it was a bad reminder of the evil that he was, and had to get rid of it. check below:

Lol. Gringo. You are really in Colombia. As for me, I just love anything that has to do with history. Really. Watching Narcos just made me fall in love with the history. Personally, I detest the man too, he was really a monster. But no vex oo, why Colombia? Was it for studies or what? What sector are you working in?

yeah, as much as Pablo Escobar and cocaine is probably the 1st thing that comes to mind if someone says COLOMBIA, there is so much more to the country (Coffee, beautiful country, fantastic women, perfect weather, amazing food and diversity etc).

what brought me here is my desire to discover Colombia. the important question IS: why not Colombia/Medellin? i have lived in South America before (Brazil/Argentina) and love the way of life down here... the weather is perfect for me (spring all year long) and if i want the beach/Caribbean super hot weather, i can just drive to the coast.

You are the real "lifer"......Really, dictating how you want to live to life is the best thing and not let life dictate how you live to you.

If you need foodstuff abroad I can help you send it down

How far my abroad people??

We will deliver to u

How do you guys survive,I mean jobs wise as an African?

Kenn55:
I eat Nigerian food 99% of the time. Apart from pizza, i don't think i have eaten any other oyibo food. My wife cooks all kinds of soup. I can't eat oyibo foods, it is tasteless to me

where do you base?

oscarnoble:
where do you base?

Canada

I eat Nigerian food every day

Always

Dellaxlogistic:
OK guys those of you who grew up in Nigeria before relocating abroad, how often do you eat Nigeria foods. Those of you who are abroad born have you ever considered eating Nigeria foods? You people are missing sha if you are not eating Nigerian foods.. Don't salivate ooo.. Stay on the thread and pass your comments

If you live in a cold climate where you hardly get enough physical activities, with solitary life style, it would be very unhealthy eating any of those foods.

It depends on my mood and what I feel like eating.

Talk more about life in Colombia for someone interested to visit and possibly stay for some days.

I usually make Nigerian jollof rice, sometimes, I use spaghetti instead of par boiled rice.

I've stayed without any form of swallow and soup for 360 days. A lady knew and prepared Amala with egusi before I set a new record of Year.
