Morphster in Medellin

i need a new pair of shoes. i didnt know it was so difficult to find a size 12 in Colombia. i been to almost every store in Medellin and cant find a nice pair of shoes or sneakers that fit. if they do have my size, its in something i dont want like a big yellow running sneaker. i guess ill keep trying.

if anybody is going clubbing this weekend, let me know.

Perhaps you could just use the boxes, I hear that is all the rage in Colombia these days.

i bought a nice pair of walking shoes that fit from a guy with a little stand in downtown Medellin. he wanted 55,000 COP. i talked him down to 40,000.

i havent really been robbed yet. except for being slipped a counterfit 10,000 peso bill by a taxista in Bogota. i went to buy a fruit salad the next morning and the lady at the counter told me it was fake.
