For Gringos Going to Barranquilla

If you want to taste la curramba to it's fullest, you simply need to call Elmodofoque's sobrino Jhon. Jhon is the only colombiano that I would trust my life with. He is a very macho dude that commands respect wherever he goes, and nobody gives this 5'10 280lb taxista one bit of bullshit.

Another Thing Make sure to S L A M his cab door. (bien cerrado)

After Elmodofoque politely exited Jhon's cab for about the 50th time leaving the door partially open, I saw smoke coming out Don Jhon's ears.

I think... A good thing to let the gringos know is whether Don Jhon speaks any English.

Good point, tone He knows the above terms, and a few more. He does not speak English, per se, but he communicates well, if you know what I mean.

I would not advise any gringo to go to Barranquilla without a grasp of basic Spanish.

Sin los básicos allí, un gringo en Barranquilla estaría jodido.
