The rainy seasons are lasting longer and El Niño and the other thing were blamed, but now it seems that they have to come up with another blame as it is happenening again. Surely an effect of atmospheric pollution.

They should get rid off that title once and for all because it no longer applies. It either rains like a mo' fo' or it's hot like hell. But it's no longer the mid 70s weather with not a lot of rain type of thing, that's been over for a while.

all this belly aching.....damn. where ever it is/what ever it is, it beats a poke in the eye with a stick. so smile. enjoy.

i've known poblado when there was near 8 inches of water in the street and the plumbing in our house backed up from swollen pipes in the street and our house was flooded. so, although noah didn't come from medallo...he sure has been known to send plenty of water. and remember, it's built on a hill......that being said, you can be sure that was one hell of a rainy season.

Cali has great weather, dry heat, not a lot of rain, the best women, perfect spanish, the best nightlife and real salsa dancing. Too bad you have to be extra super careful on the streets.

I find the women in Cali to be a bit more patient, trimmer and have less of an attitude then Medellín. My own experience. Even the Caleñas I have met in the US are real stand up girls.

And then can carry a tune and dance.

Every paisa girl I have ever met is tone deaf. Something's in the water

El torcido - it's all realtive. At least you didn't interpret it from a weather standpoint. That's what I was expecting from someone.

Bickerss - NYC people are warm once you get past the shell. Remember most people in NYC are not New Yorkers.

I drew my comparisons on initlial contact, walking down the street or on a bar scenario.
