Thinking of moving to Cartegena

Well, it's hot there.

Every time someone asked me to come visit Cartegena, I was like, "Yeah! That sounds fun!" But then every time, I've been like, "But it's gonna be hot." So I never went. Maybe I'll get there one day, but I just love the mountain weather too much.

I just don't like the hot. But I'm sure you'll have a fab time. I'm not gay, but the Colombians seem to be very tolerant. There might be a few like any place that say something inappropriate (they're Catholic), but for the most part, you'll be welcome.

It's way too humid for average people to tolerate. When I was there I would have a wet patch on my shirt 5 minutes after leaving my air conditioned room.

And because of the heat down by the sea it smells really bad as all the garbage ferments. And the giant insects - let's not go there. It was fun to visit for 3 or 4 days, but I went on to spend a few more days further up the coast and by the time I flew back to the south I was so glad to get back to a normal temperature. I really would not ever consider moving to such a place.

Well, I hate to crap on a spot I've never visited. But yeah, I've heard all that.

And Colombia is such a beautiful spot. The mountains are GORGEOUS. The weather in the Colombian mountains is like October in the States. Some people like hot and humid weather. I just don't.

But I hear Cartegena is great. Go see it and let us know.
