The Nice People of Medellin

For the past week, i have been living in Medellin "the city of eternal spring". The home of the world's most famous drug cartels, is now a safe, modern city beautifully settled in a mountain valley. My buddy igor is here with me for a week and we've decided to go all out and rented a pimp apt. Days consist of lazy tourism, eating and nightlife. The people here are the nicest people i have met ever. For example, the other day, Igor and i were lost looking for a restaurant...so we stopped by a chicken fast food joint and asked for help. All three staff got to work, first finding the restaurant in the yellow pages, then calling them to get precise directions, writing it all down on paper for us and then coming outside to point us in the right direction. Another example happened today on the public bus. A young girl who was sitting next to igor, tapped a man that was standing next to her and offered to hold a bunch of documents he was carrying with him.

Im in the process of trying to organize some spanish lessons...turning out harder than expected.
