I live in Cali because my wife has a lot of relatives here, but I would venture to guess that more gringos live in Medellin, because it is a much nicer city.

Like I said before on another post, I didn't see any gringos when I was in Cali, then again I wasn't looking for any.

HERE'S SIMON!!!!

I think right now there might be more in medellin only because of the soaring real estate business and all that comes with that. Cali is actually going through a very tough economic situation but i think in a couple of years Cali will be alright.

But certainly right now, there seems to be more Americans in Medellin.

Most Gringos in Cali seem to live here because they either have to (family ties etc) or they work here. There´s little other reason to be in Cali unless it´s during the feria. I know a handful ...English, American, Dutch, French ... and they all have Caleña wives or are working here temporarily. But none have settled here through choice.
As another PBH ér put it in a recent thread, "Cali is definately the ginger headed step child."

Medellin to work- Cali to Party

Do em both...... But I agree... let's have the gringos stay out of Cali...

Hola!

What is a Gringo? I got off the busetta leaving the airport going into Cali. I was asked if I was German or Italian?

I guess they do not see Americanos much in Cali! Ja! Ja!
