Apartments in Barranquilla

Please allow me to be serious as a heart attack.
Due to unforeseen developments at work, I might be moving to Barranquilla much sooner than anticipated.
Before I decide to plug down 60k or 70k USA dolaretes to buy a nice Apt. in Curramba I wanna first live there for 6 months to see how this chit is gonna be like.
My biggest concern about living in Barranquilla is my family. Half of my family are low life desperate poor modefoques and I hope they don’t think I’m moving down there to rescue their sorry ass. I only got enough money for me and my hookers.
Dique la vieja needs an operation, dique el hijo de mi sobrino necesita dinero pa los libros dique mi tia le van a corta la luz porque no tiene plata , y millones de necesidades.
If that chit becomes so unbearable that modefoques are knocking on my door at all hours in need of cash, I’m taking my black ass to boring Medellin or I’m coming back to USA and live with my fishing buddies in Hollywood, FL..
I’ll have to be content with a crystal meth smoking grandma.
Now, what I like is info regarding renting agencies in Barranquilla. I don’t want to rent from a private person; I prefer dealing with a reputable renting company with lots of buildings just as I do in NYC

Come on Elmo... You need to make sure to take a laptop with you... We've got to continue the Elmo saga as he retires in Curramba.... You've got to share with the rest of us, a true retirement experience as seen throught the eyes of Elmo.... Also, it would be part of the Elmo image to have a laptop in BAQ... and besides, if you end up living in Medellin... Hello, you'll need to escape to cyber-world because you anticipate being bored....

Get a nice sailboat in Florida. You can live on it and fish any time you want. You can also sail it to Cuba and get all the chicas you want. 90% of the boats docked in Marina Hemingway are from the U.S. One guy offered me a ride to Florida. I was having too much fun in Cuba though.

Agencia Arena, Agencia Financar, Arriendos Cepeda. These three are agencies, just like the ones in the states. I'll be in Curramba around the 15th of next month till Carnaval, I'll check for you with some of my contacts.

cordobita, half of my family lives down there, estrato 2, 1 and 0, i figure they'll think twice before travelling all the way north to hit on me for money.
Another thing, when they show up uninvited i'll have my doorman say that i went away to cartagena, santa marta, riohacha etc. for a few days.
Meanwhile i'll be spying from the 7 floor and soon as they leave i'll go down to blow my money on hookers.
I got everything planned.

I already got a very nice laptop for Barranquilla but that’s gonna be use mostly to download porno and music from limewire and to also have my kids send me pictures.
Doubt very much I’ll have any time to write. Most times I’ll either be high or drunk or both
Most days I’ll be playing dominos and drinking beer in front of a tienda with retired colombianos and at lunch time I’m heading to Puerto Colombia for mojarra frita and patacones.
At night, a different CHUCHA everyday.

No, No, que Prado ni que carajo! Esos barrios estan mas perrateao que el boliche. Ningun currambero[a] worth his/her salt from the great metropolis sureña barranquillera, from la Avenida 13 de Junio y la calle Murillo hacia Soledad, would like to be caught codeandoze con la alta suciedad. ¿Where is our corroncho pride?
